{{Technique Crumbs|1}}
All over the internet, whenever someone asks how to sound like some famous artist, you'll read, "Tone is in the fingers." It's true. There's more to playing than putting your fingers on the right frets and plucking the right strings. We already covered how to cleanly fret and play notes in [[Basic Technique]]. Other technique lessons on [[Legato (Hammer-on, Pull-off)|legato]], [[bending]], and [[vibrato]] will help add flair to notes. We also [[4th, 5th, and 6th Strings|alluded]] to good right hand technique and the various methods to alter tone and dynamics in picking. Here we will expound upon '''right picking hand technique'''.
This is mainly designed for single note or small chord playing - generally riffing or lead. This is less important for strumming chords, which is more focused on [[Applying Rhythm to Chords|rhythm]].

I like to break down the mechanics of the pick's interaction with the string as 3 different periods, separated by 2 key events. The periods are approach, displacement, and resonance. The events between them are contact, and release. Chronologically, that's approach, -> contact, -> displacement, -> release, and -> resonance.
