Chicken picking (or chicken pickin') is a lead guitar style or technique used in country music where the plucked strings are pulled outward by the fingers of the dominant hand and the note played immediately dampened by decreasing the pressure of the other hand's finger on the fret. (Burrows 1995, p.60)For example, the following, with a bend between the grace and last notes (ibid): "Chicken picking" is also used as a synonym for "Hybrid picking". SourceBurrows, Terry (1995). Play Country Guitar. Dorling Kindersley Limited, London. ISBN 0-7894-0190-8.
