LESSON 46
TONE TIP
Apply this technique to our Blues Technique Challenge
Alter your tone simply by changing where on the string you pick. Pick near the fretboard for a warm, round tone. Closer to the bridge gives you a twangy, trebly tone. You probably already know this, but how often do you exploit the effect? Combine near-the-neck picking with a neck pickup and a clean tone and you’ll have a warm bell-like sound suitable for jazz. Switch to picking near the bridge for country and surf style twang. Jam along with our one-note audio example to get a feel for it.
