Pat Metheny's picking

After seeing the previews for the upcoming Mike Stern interview I thought that I would try to find some good shots of Pat Metheny picking on Youtube and they are quite hard to find!

I remember seeing an interview of him on French TV (I think) and it has some great shots but I saw it maybe last year and I can’t find it again.

Anyway, here is something for you all to check out:

This is the best video I can find of his picking hand:

I have no idea what to make of his picking technique. All I know is that he uses a thin pick and plays with the rounded edge.

I’ve never seen video of him before. I’m not sure what he is doing, but It looks like there is TWPS stuff happening with a resting UWPS position.
