Not really a chord.

I know that some songs have string skipping, but they usually go 1 note at a time.

But when I encounter a few like these, I have no idea how you'd play them with a pick.

With plucking, that means you use your thumb and index finger.


What if one uses a pick ?

Pick the note on the lower string with your pick and pluck the higher string with your middle or ring finger.

You can pick the passing notes or pluck them too.

It helps if you tilt the guitar.

or, use ur finger to mute them. i.e, use ur left hand ring finger/index finger to mute the string above/below it.

well... thats how do i it. dun really know the real technique to this kindda chord. i just treat it as a power chord, just mute the middle string and strum 3 string.

pic included hope u understand

thats an octave chord, its not string skipping.

you mute the middle string and play the chord then the middle string

Thanks, I originally thought of muting middle string and strum all 3 strings, but usually when this is the case, the guitar pro tab will have x marked on the middle string, but i encountered many tabs that didn't mute the middle strings, so I thought they must've found a way to play the 2 other strings without muting the middle one.

I think muting the middle string is the easiest to do, but the finger pluckers and purists might prefer to leave it untouched at all and sound only the other 2 strings in their own way.
