Pluck-and-chuck (guitar)
Pluck-and-chuck (also pluck and chuck) is a percussive guitar technique that is derived from the finger style guitar technique. The pluck-and-chuck style involves the player using a series of slaps (chucks) and finger picking (plucks) to create a sound partway between a leadline and a rhythm pattern. Other techniques involved in this style of guitar include wrist bumps and fret-hand muting. Usually played without a plectrum, the technique can also be executed through the use of a thumb pick allowing more room for complex basslines. The use of pluck-and-chuck can be seen across a wide spectrum of genres in western contemporary music. Most noticeably in folk and country music. The 'pluck' introduces the melodic or harmonic line while the 'chuck' resembles the effect of a snare drum. Due the percussive nature, a 'chuck' is often used on the terminal note of a bar marking the count. The popularity of this technique was greatly increased through the rock and roll genre where musicians were at liberty to explore percussive grounds on a single guitar. Some of the most recognisable songs that involve the use of this technique are Free Falling (Tom Petty), I'll Follow You Into the Dark (Death Cab for Cutie), and Stop This Train (John Mayer).
