In this lesson today I’ll be sharing with you everything I know about right hand technique and placement – small details that will make a big difference in your playing. These techniques are ones utilized by monster players such as Ian Thornley of Big Wreck, Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme, and John 5. If it works for them, it can certainly work for you!
