Right hand toolbox
Posted by Layton_Lange on April 16, 2021 at 7:50 amGlad to say I added the backward roll to my right hand toolbox this week, by Friday I was able to work up to 1.5x speed.

That’s a great win @Lange22 . Many have difficulty with that skill. Feels good when it comes together.

You can use it in an arpegiated pick pattern, think alt base with your thumb followed by a forward and backward roll.
Base(root), 3, 2, 1, 2, 3
Rythm 1 & 2 & 3 4 &
Can be applied ina lot of songs. Fits well with “leaving on a jet plane” for instance.

Very helpful, thank you @Alfred !
I will give it a try. My dad is a big John Denver fan, definitely will have put it on the list to learn.

Congrats, Lange22. It’s nice when that muscle memory kicks in!

Thanks @BrianFickleFingers , isn’t it cool how somethings goes from painfully slow and difficult to eventually you don’t have to think about it. Guitar is pretty awesome
