Double the pleasure, double the fun! When you master double picking (Ala John Sykes of Whitesnake, Mastodon, Cynic, Death, and more), your riffs and leads are gonna be twice as nice. But where to start? Right HERE with Uncle Ben Eller!
I'll show you the technical essentials you need (namely downwards pickslanting), then we are off to the races to learn the best double picking starting point: the bridge section of Still of the Night (no violin bow required!)! It's a perfect starting point if you're new to the technique. Plus after that, I'm gonna show you the real key to practicing this and making it work. It's EASY and I know you can do it!
