Guitarras | Chicken Picking (Técnica)

Chicken picking (or chicken pickin', similar to hybrid picking) is a lead guitar picking style or technique used in country, rock, and metal music where the plucked strings are pulled outward (i.e., away from the fretboard instead of parallel to the fretboard) by the fingers of the right hand and the note played immediately dampened by increasing the pressure of the left hand's finger on the fret.

Chicken picking is also used (incorrectly) as a synonym for Travis picking and hybrid picking. Chicken picking, however, refers to this particular rhythm sequence while Travis picking is an alternating bass combined with finger picking. Hybrid picking refers only to the use of a plectrum combined with fingers as exemplified by Roy Buchanan or Danny Gatton.
