Can anyone suggest a few good songs to learn Hybrid Picking?
Holding the pick and using the second third and fourth fingers?

Thanks

Thanks.
I remember that song lesson being uploaded not so long ago.
I'll have a look.

I haven't seen the film Inside Llewellyn Davis yet it seems to get mixed reviews.

Dermot, you may want to check out some of Greg Lake’s work (listed under ELP). “I Believe in Father Christmas” is a good place to start. For more of a challenge “The Sage” should keep you busy. Even “Still You Turn Me On” uses hybrid picking; sorta … it’s more of a grab/pinch there. You’ll also get a good workout in cross picking if that’s of interest. Personally I like “The Sage” best because there is so much technique that can be learned. One of the not so obvious upsides of hybrid picking is that you really only need to keep two fingernails in shape. No freaking out if you damage a nail on your thumb or index finger :-)
