First we’ll learn the forward and reverse crosspicking roll and use exercises to build our speed, accuracy, and strength. Then, we’ll apply these skills to a couple solos for You Are My Sunshine!

I actually have my mother-in-law to thank for those

Hi there! With flatpicking and crosspicking I tend to rest the palm of my right hand a little bit on the bridge of my guitar. Is that something you would recommend or advice to unlearn? I couldn’t find any lesson covering this sofar. Thanks in advance!

[Dragonslayer]

I’m not a pro, but I think as long as your palm doesn’t mute any strings that is an accepted technique, I use my pinkie, but on mando my bro uses his palm and it works, for whatever that’s worth

[Dragonslayer]

Btw great lesson, I learned it from the free YouTube video

[BanjoBen]

Sure, I do that at times as well, and lots of players much better than me also! The main thing is that you don’t press/anchor so hard that it affects your tone negatively or impairs your movement.

[cazodi]

Thanks! That helps a lot

[Trenchuk]

can you do this song without alternating

[BanjoBen]

Sure, you can do that. I recommend you try it with alternate picking to get the hang of it, though.

[Trenchuk]

[e.wells]
