You may have heard that your picking movement should "come from the wrist" - but what does that mean, and is it even true? When we look at great guitar players we see a whole host of picking motions that seem to be equally effective. Whether it's just fingers, just wrist, a rotational movement from the forearm or even an elbow-based picking motion: it seems like it's perfectly possible to make any of these techniques work.
In this guitar lesson, Nick Jennison shows you how to find a picking motion that works for you, and gives you some key technical pointers to make sure you're getting the most out of your chosen method.
