Electric guitar techniques

1. Alternate Picking: Alternate picking is a technique where the player alternates between upstrokes and downstrokes when playing a series of notes. This technique is used to play fast, clear and articulate lines and is a crucial skill for most genres of electric guitar playing. To practice this technique, start with simple exercises such as playing up-down-up-down on one string and gradually increasing the speed.
2. Legato Playing: Legato playing is a smooth and connected way of playing notes, without any silence in between. This technique is used to create smooth and fluid lines, and involves either hammer-ons, pull-offs or slides. To practice this technique, start by playing simple phrases and focusing on connecting each note seamlessly.
3. Tapping: Tapping is a technique where the player taps their fingers on the fretboard to produce notes. This technique is often used to play fast, intricate lines and can add a new dimension to your playing. To practice this technique, start by tapping simple phrases and gradually increasing the complexity of the patterns you play.
4. String Bending: String bending is a technique where the player bends a string to produce a pitch that is higher than the fretted note. This technique is often used in blues, rock and metal guitar playing to add expressiveness and emotional intensity to a performance. To practice this technique, start by bending simple notes and gradually increasing the range of the bends you perform.
5. Sweep Picking: Sweep picking is a technique where the player uses a smooth, continuous motion to play a series of notes across multiple strings. This technique is used to play fast, fluid arpeggios and is a common technique in progressive rock and metal guitar playing. To practice this technique, start with simple arpeggios and focus on maintaining a consistent sweeping motion while playing.
