Montagne Ste. Genevieve - picking the B section

Ando · January 2005

How do people pick measures 5-8, shown below? The accents are always on downbeats (first note of each triplet), so those should be downstrokes, right?

Thanks for any help! This section is difficult to pull off (no pun intended).

assuming you use the appropriate left hand fingerings it would be

D U D D D D D D U

D D U D D U D D U

D D U D D D D U D (trill)

i hope i didn't make any mistake there :oops:

you generally want to have a downstroke on strong beats

practice practice and then more practice.

Thanks, Dennis. Any pull-offs? I usually pull off at least that first U...

unless you're trying to imitate a certain guitar player, you're free to articulate it however you want. The gypsy picking police isn't gonna come after you
