Hey guys...I've heard a bit about Tim and hybrid picking; all I've heard is that Tim does it 
This seems sorta simple to get, but I wanted to ask you guys just so I was 100% on it  . The only place that I've heard of hybrid picking being used (for sure) is in Stream. I don't know what part of the song he does it, but I assume it's the little run up before he hits the harmonic?
---0---0---0---0---
-----3---3-------6-
-1-----------3-----
-------------------
-------------------
------------------- etc
Correct? I would think he picks the G and B with the pick, and uses his middle finger to get the open E? That at least seems to be the most logical way. Just so you all know, I'm not a real n00b to guitar and all that lol, even though this is a very n00bish question. I've been playing bass for a couple of years, and just recently have picked up the acoustic as well. Thanks guys  |

| you could hybrid pick for that, but it'd be impractical. |

Hybrid picking is usually similar to fingerpicking, except using a pick for the bottom 3 strings rather than your thumbs. For that part in Stream, I just use the pick to pick those notes, and I'm pretty sure Tim does the same thing.

| Hard to tell, but it does appear on some of the videos, like the Lory video, that he is hybrid picking that part of the song. But, I too, just "normally" pick that part. |

Tim definitely hybrid picks that part, I've seen it ridiculously close up in one video, and I don't see why he wouldn't consistently play the same way.
To those of you who can straight pick that... I'm in awe. |

I second that. Do you guys alternate each note or just strum over the two together? |

| in this case it'd probably be easier to alternate. upstroke for b string notes, downstroke for e string notes, downstroke for g string notes. haha. g string. it never gets old. |

| I could never do that particular pattern of picking for an improv or anything randomly, but because I focused on playing that part of the song with only pick back in the day, that's just how I do it now. I tried to incorporate hybrid picking there about a year ago, but it was just awkward at the time. The hybrid picking is much more practical in the larger context, but I just can't/don't do it there. |

| i don't think there's a better or worse way to do thi part. hybrid picking just seemed a little unnecessary when i tried it. |

Best one is when I saw Mike Marshall and Chris thile and they did a tune on their mandolins called error on the g-string. They said since the mandolin was already limited in range they decided to limit it more and so they picked everyone's favorite string... the g-string. |
