Song Rhythm

Pick in Time

In Strum to the Drums, we established the connection between strumming and the drumbeat of a song. That same principle applies to picking.

Used in these songs

Rhythm doesn’t disappear when you switch technique. Whether you strum or pick, the drummer still defines the groove.

In this video, I use If Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth Brooks to demonstrate how picking locks into the beat just as tightly as strumming does.
