There is no wrong way to do anything when it comes to playing guitar – but if you're starting out or having problems, looking at recommended ways to approach things can help a lot. With this in mind the Gibson app seeks to help out players with some lessons – and have a whole Basic Skills course dedicated to it.
The Gibson Gazette has been spotlighting some of these videos, including how to hold a guitar pick. This may seem obvious to many of you, but not everyone. The video below also looks at a good way to pluck strings on your electric or acoustic guitar when you don't have a pick.
Alongside walkthroughs such as fretting, the Basic Skills course in the Gibson app also looks at relatively advanced techniques such as sweep picking alongside hybrid, flat, economy and fingerpicking.
