Make a slow start

Learning to hybrid pick is all about taking things slowly at first - bear in mind that if you have never fingerpicked before then this is a skill that is worth studying alongside hybrid picking. As soon as the picking-hand fingers have some independence and awareness of where they should be picking the strings then the process of learning how to hybrid pick will become much easier. As with everything it’s about starting as slowly as possible and building up the speed very gradually.
