| Rock Guitar Guru Shares Secrets To Guitar Soloing With SlidesTom Hess shows guitar players how to use slides more creatively during solos.
Guitar players frequently wonder how they should be picking to achieve a great sound with fast and clean speed while soloing. Tom Hess has released an online resource to address this in addition to another major topic. "Many of my guitar students wonder what the right way is to pick. Should it be from your elbow or wrist? Thumb? Index finger? The answer isn't complicated, and is easy to quickly apply into your playing." Hess recommends many tips for developing smooth picking speed. One of which is the following: "Watch your picking hand as you pick to identify inefficient and loopy movement in your pick attack. Tighten this up and picking fast becomes much easier." Hess goes on to discuss other elements of picking technique while soloing: "Making your picking technique as efficient as possible while moving from one string to the next is critical for clean lead guitar playing. I recommend directional picking technique for this combined with articulating notes with power to line your hands up in sync." Most of all, Hess states: "Playing great guitar solos is more about how you play than what notes you choose." He includes an instructional demonstration of how to improve your soloing phrasing via a video in his resource.
