Brit folk guitarist Blair Dunlop is a dab hand at acoustic picking, as his latest album, Gilded, attests, combining traditional folk techniques with a dash of electric guitar and contemporary musings.
Blair sat down with his Tanglewood TSM1 to share some tips on that most coveted of picking techniques: hybrid picking, where the pick and fingers are used simultaneously.
In the video above, Blair shares the knowledge, using his song No Go Zones as an example of the technique in action.
