My lead guitar practice this week was focused on picking technique, in other words how to pluck the strings with my right hand using a guitar pick.

I tried to keep my right hand as relaxed as possible, as advised by the YouTube lesson “Basic Guitar Picking Technique” by Guitareo, using a motion mainly from my wrist and using both up and down picking. Instead of making big motions with my right hand, I tried to keep my motions small and efficient.

I practiced down strokes on all 6 strings (as they all feel different due to their thickness differences), and I practiced up strokes on all 6 strings. I then alternated between down and up strokes on every string.

I then used a metronome to practice all of these things in sequence at a certain pace (80 beats per minute in my attached video).
