My first time trying hybrid picking. Feels a bit “unbalanced” and the picked note is way louder. Any tips?

Great fun. Thanks

I am also struggling a bit with the hybrid picking. Especially as I’m always breaking my nails. Do you use nails or finger pads when finger picking?

I decided to leave hybrid picking for the future. So for those parts I’m just strumming from the D string down. It’s still an A7 chord. and it has the same feel. BTW, if you like acoustic blues, there is a lesson on the internet about the “land of A7”. Using the same two A7 shapes in this lesson, you can keep playing them all the way up the neck.

I also had a tough time. I found it helped to just pull harder with the picking finger and to kind of use a 45deg angle for the pick attack (a little more brushy, less twangy)
