Applying George Benson Picking To Your Technique
Here’s a lesson about finding your tremolo motion. This was a key for me to breaking through having good technique but not being able to press on into playing faster. It was an answer for me and hopefully helps a few folks here as well. Part one shows how to hold a pick. There’s a George Benson at the dinner table story and a description of multiple ways to hold the pick “the right way”. Next we go through isolating the most economical movement your wrist can make. It will be fast, controlled and clean and can even feel effortless. We walk through how to isolate the motion and begin finding it on your strings.
