Technique Building with the right hand This lesson is for the Guitarist that is experienced and is looking to improve his or her picking technique. All of the licks and exercises are presented here as technique builders, but can also be used as fast licks in your soloing. I learned these licks from players lick Paul Gilbert, Joey Taffola, Tony MacAlpine, and some are my own.
