After messing with the first.two liks. Something clicked. And I started ripping.some pretty cool sounding.solos. Thanks

Having taught piano, I know the power of SLOW practise. Playing extremely slowly with a metronome is not as easy as people assume and imho it's possibly the most powerful practise method - start slow and the speed will come naturally. Don't practise mistakes - play slowly and don't increase speed until you stop making mistakes. Excellent video - anyone *can* play anything if they're determined and stick with it.

Me looking at my guitar.. My Guitar meanwhile : Don't even think of doing that to me

I would have to say that this is definitely one of the better lessons I've seen. No unnecessary unexplained wanking going on here, only demonstrations of what was explained in detail. Straight to the point. I didn't need to go back and watch it at half speed, I wrote it all down, started practicing it, and walked away hopeful and not discouraged.

Haven't learned many guitar tricks that have truly made me smile. This is super! Thank you

I think some neglect the fact that in order to play the most iconic solos (Stairway, Hotel California, Comfortably Numb) a person needs more speed than one might think. Not that those are particularly fast. They're not. But they do have a few semi-fast licks which you don't want to be completely maxed out on. They can't be played well if they are at the absolute top of your ability. So in order to play them comfortably, and with ease, your actual max ability has to be significantly above that level. Not just barely above that level. I guess at the very least a person should be able to play Sixteenth Note Triplets at 120bpm. That's not tremolo picking sextuplets at 220, but it does require more speed than I think some may realize. So speed doesn't equal shred. It equals proficiency.

Adrian, you're rad! I appreciate your perspective, high quality instruction, musical taste... thank you for your channel and all the time you put into it. Cheers

Love this guy and his way of teaching. Rock on man. I am practicing these now because your videos are awesome!

I really appreciate any guitar player taking time out of his day to share. Thanks m8!

Muscle memory is so evident by the way his left hand holds/rests on the neck in always the same shape

Hi Adrian, came back for a refresher after watching about 5 months ago. Wasn’t really using many hammer ons and pull offs in my playing, mainly picking every note. Found these licks quite difficult to begin with but just kept plugging away until the speed just naturally increased. I found that once I could get one of these licks up to speed any subsequent patterns were fairly easy to master. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and techniques it has been of great benefit to me.

Good teacher and concepts. His advice to start low and be precise and accurate and build into the speed is spot on. Drummers work on rudiments the same way slowly building speed accuracy. Then once you have it you can then use or adapt the lick as you see fit so it just becomes part.of your skill set. The same licks can be played slowly and tastefully.

Thank you so much for this vidéo, Every time, I didnt know what to do with my penta and this help me so much to move my finger easily on my guitar with my penta !

You continue to impress me with your playing and humility! You're one of the best YT'ers out there! Keep up the great work!

Love ur technics and talent. Great personality.

🚩Thanks So much for the Locks and The Actual Notes! That was very nice of you. Not many do that!

Lick 1: 3:54 lick 2: 8:33 lick 3: 10:15 lick 4: 12:09 lick 5: 13:55 lick 6: 15:20 lick 7: 16:35 lick 8: 18:36 lick 9: 20:06 lick 10: 21:40

Thanks for this, I'm just getting into some fast licks, and I appreciate the additional focus on the picking and the metronome suggestion. Not saying others don't focus on the picking, but so far most of the songs and ez leads that I've been learning online have just been focusing on the fretboard, so thanks again for this, super helpful!

Great resources!!!! Once a while to throw some fast licks sweeten your playing. Thanks mate !!!

Thank you for this and everyone of your great lessons!

Im so happy ive found your channel. Thanks for your great work!

Love you, dude! Quality content and great teaching.

Thanks for the great lesson. I've been trying to get this down for a long time but this video finally helped me nail it down. Really love the lessons so keep up the great playing!

Literally one of the best teachers on KZfaq 👍 cheers for the lessons Adrian you do stellar work mate

HI ADRIAN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, REALLY HELP ME, GREETING FROM COLOMBIA

This video is PERFECT!!! I was looking for something like that. Is perfect to start soloing. THANKS

Adrian thanks for taking the time and effort, I've learnt loads of stuff from you...PS I can play "this charming man" in a fashion good enough to make people think I'm a decent guitar player...im nowhere like your level...but your lessons are brilliant .....Thanks I'm improving all the time , great technique and advice on how to play strumming and stuff...I've wasted loads of money on lessons which basically learn you scales but dont shown you how to apply them.....

While I absolutely agree with your opening statements about most shred guitar, that lick at the beginning had lots of soul. Don't know how this is the first time I've had one of your vids show up in my recommended list but your personality got you a sub before the lesson even started.

From one Adrian to another, thank you for the easy to understand yet awesome videos!👍

Been doing this stuff since the 70s. Never gets old. Glorious!

Great gift for enthusiastic beginners like me!!!! Thanks so much

This is the kind of video I’ve been searching for. Seriously super helpful thank you!

You are good and a great teacher too with a smile.

This was just the lesson I was looking for , so have subscribed and will put this lesson into practice , love your unrushed accurate and humble style . 🙏

After searching for a video just like this one I found it !!! Great video, Thanks for the information.

Oh man. Another video to save off and practice for the next month or so. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for taking the time doing this!

I really like your style of teaching. very methodical very clear. appreciate this this will be helpful

Awesome Lesson, really liked your patience and showing slow and fast and especially the picking , this really helped me, thank you

Where’s the much needed timestamp guy when you need him?! 🤣🤣👌 Gr8 lesson btw!

Should i thank you and like you channel for your great terms and clear explanation! Yes surely, you just have a great knowledge of what learners really want to know. Thanks boss

Very cool of you to break it down like this. Thank you!

Super intéressant et clair. Merci beaucoup pour tout ça.

Big big up for this amazing video that will do my week end...and more ! Thanks a lot from🇫🇷👍🏼🍒

Top Notch !!! Extremely well explained and it works 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you 🙏

Great stuff Adrian. Thank You!!

"Million upon millions of soulless notes" 😇👍 well said.

I will have to try thjese exercises. I have a hard time with picking and accurancy These should help. Thanks

I am very very proud of your playing... Love you..

I never put much stock into playing fast, but always wanted to be smoother w/ swift licks. It's nice to mix it up and throw in some energy into your voicing's. Everything is achievable with patience. Some may find it amusing that it took me up to a month to learn Tom Petty's pull-offs at the end of American Girl (y'know climbing the high E?), but at this point it feels natural, and it's the end result that matters. Fellow slow-hand's - don't get discouraged. Everything that is new is hard at first, but through persistence it's always worth it. You're not just learning these licks, you're improving your all-around abilities as a player! Learning this "simple" exercise will open so many doorway's that you'll surprise yourself. :)

Adrian.this is one of the best tutorials in history This is the difinition of sharing the magic Thank you very much P.S. You are an amazing guitar player

Wanting to thank you for a while. Now working on 10 speedy locks.a wonderful teacher,i,ve always work on the theory slow is fast.the best. Paul

You are a good teacher thank you very much for your service

Excellent.. Must give this a try later after work. Thanks

I wish I'd had a teacher like you. I've learned more from your videos than from the years of lessons paid for by my parents. My teachers were fantastic players, but either couldn't or just weren't interested in teaching well.

i cant tell you how much i appreciate you making this video

I love what you do, I'm a big fan. I learn a lot from you. Bob from the US

Awesome. Thanks Adrian.

Adrian u r a too nice a guy n hack teacher like Andrew wason...... I really appreciate ur pomp n showless tutorials..... god bless u both

Been playing for about four years. Nothing is easy. Like your channel.

I feel as though I’m realizing actual improvement; thanks so much.

this was actually a very good video. you are a good teacher and better guitarist then you give yourself credit for. thank you

what a great teacher you are

Wow! So good to listen and sounds good.👌

Awesome video !! - Thank you very much

this was an awesome video thank u for this.

Thanks for demonstrating the starting and ending pick positions. Too many lessons omit this critical piece of the puzzle . They focus on everything left hand and make very little mention of picking patterns. I know this can be somewhat subjective. But it’s nice to have a common starting point or reference. Update: the reason I mention the picking patterns is because it’s my Achilles heal. I play with a reverse attack . So I naturally start everything with an upstroke. For example, playing lick#1 is simple for me up to speed using inside picking. But when I play it the way it’s instructed( downstroke first) it’s like I just picked up the guitar as a beginner. So why don’t I just play it fast using my technique? Well, because most solos are written by guitarists that have a “normal” attack and hold the pick “normally”. While I can play this piece up to speed with no problem, transitioning to the next lick will create a speed bump in my flow. Of course I can dissect the next movement or lick and make it work with my awkward picking attack. But it will never be seamless until I change my pick attack and the way I hold my pick. A tough thing to do after years of being an oddball guitarist. When I write my own music, it’s not an issue at all. But learning other people’s music it has always been a slow and dreadful process. Mainly because most instructors don’t include right hand (or picking hand) mechanics. This has been a real eye opening experience for me. I have now identified my biggest issue. But being an old guy now, it’s a challenge that’s gonna be tough to overcome. Not impossible by any stretch. Just a real pain in the ass as it is very time consuming. But I think once I’ve mastered it, I’ll be pretty damn good🤘🏻

Great licks and very well explained. I just discovered your channel and will definitely be subscribing.

Good lesson i always called that technique pivots ..thanks for sharing
