Ben Eller's YouTube channe (opens in new tab)l is a superb resource for guitar learning, and following Mastodon's Bill Kelliher guesting on it he's now got Tosin Abasi to unpick one of his  signature techniques in a special video lesson.

The phrase selective picking was actually coined by Abasi and this seven-part tutorial gradually becomes more advanced as it goes on. 

We're loving the Hawaiian shirts too! Check out above, and you can find Kelliher guesting on a tutorial for Mastodon's new song Fallen Torches below.
