🎸 Electric Guitar Tip: Control Your Tone with Your Picking Hand
​
Many guitarists focus only on the fretting hand, but your picking hand shapes your sound just as much.
​
Try this simple exercise:
Play the same riff three times while changing only your picking position:
• near the bridge (brighter, sharper tone)
• above the pickups (balanced tone)
• closer to the neck (warmer, fuller tone)
​
Save this tip and try it in your next practice session 🎶
