This figure illustrates a technique used to alternate pick double stops al'a Chet Atkins . The fingernail and the thumb pick will strike a pair of strings simulteneously. An example of this technique (syncopated with pull-offs) can be heard after the drum solo in the Ventures recording of Caravan heard on the album "On Stage Around the World" .

This lightening fast lick can be heard on the Ventures album On Stage in the song Caravan after the drum solo . It is best played using the double-stop picking technique (requiring a thumbpick) illustrated on my initial home page . Back to main page.
