"Now I am going to 'TRY' to play it faster"- joke of the year, by Jason Richardson.

jason: this is it slow me: throwing my guitar in the trash

As a fellow Petrucci student, I love to see players like you who took what he did and expand upon it, and create your own voice with it. You're an inspiration for the future generations, Jason.

Thank you for the lesson, I can now play this perfectly.

"Now I'm going to play it SLOW" *plays 100 notes in 10 seconds*

2:00 SLOW???????????

Jason - now I’m gonna play it slow His fingers - YES

Picking perfection, I think Jason Richardson has one of the best picking techniques imo, that's why he can play super clean at high speed. Thanks for the lesson. Just bought many things from your website.

Would love to see JR and Troy Grady breaking down his ultra high speed picking action

His picking efficiency has always been the most impressive thing to me about his playing. Yeah the fretting hand is important too, but for me the picking hand is always the most important

Jason has became one of my favs recently since watching the live show video on YT of him and his drummer buddy ...just really blew me away

I remember seeing that dude when he was still a teenager playing for All Shall Perish in a small place in Belgium. I had my face 30cm away from his guitar, it was amazing to say the least.

"this is the lick slow" Proceed with 200 BPM... WTF!? Dude is an animal! I will NEVER be at this level. Bravo for you! Love hearing this kind of stuff! He makes John Petrucci seem slow.

This dude sounds like Ben Shapiro arguing with you about music theory

Love Jason Richardsons advice!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Literally one of the best guitar tutor in KZfaq

This video is treasure , listen to everything he says carefully its the best video to learn to improve your playing . Jason breaksdown his technique he uses

Brilliant tactician of technique - you've got to perfect that flexible approach all the time!

Thanks for the videos Jason and Guitar World, they help me a lot with my practice! another extremly helpfull video, please make some more of them! :)

You have Petrucci to thank for all of these new guitar gods we've been blessed with over the past 10 years or so. JR is for sure one of those in my age bracket who got hooked on playing guitar music like this from Dream Theater's Train of Thought from 2003, best album ever!!!

He's quite good at guitar.

He looks so different now from when he was still playing in the NBA.

Some pretty useful tips here, thanks for sharing

I'm very surprised to see no one mentioned about how this video is FROM THE FUTURE!! August 2019...

Thank you Jason, there was tons of useful information in there but I’ve been doing concrete for 20 years not sure if my hands can take the strain of all of that super fast stuff but I will definitely work on it. Keep on being the guitar god that you are brother!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

The second half of this video with the tips about right hand technique is extremely useful

HeRe iT Is SloW. Oh okay.

This is value, thank you!

JR is the most sound in technique guitar player of this genre (bold words). Thank you for your clarification on palm muting!!!

Hardest part has always been muting the strings that aren't played. Requires so much practice.

That flat hand technique for arpeggios and fast picking is legit crazy useful.

Jason, you speed pick with your elbow when you alternate pick. Not that there's anything wrong with it. Your one of the best technical shredders I've ever seen. I hope to hear great things from you with all that remains! Keep doing what you do bro! Cheers!

I'm a simple man. I see Jason, I click.

Cool stuff!

Good job Jason..👏Thanks🙏 Warm cheers 😊 God bless 🙏🎸🎶

So awesome how he has his own signature Ernie Ball but he still has the JP Majesty in rotation. Such a killer guitar - I wish Guitar World wouldn't choose crappy gear for these great guitars though

An entire company for guitar, and no one thought to get this man a better cable?

I love synyster gates sweep picking technique too. He uses his palm to mute the lower notes when ascending and his pinky on his picking hand to mute the higher ones when descending leaving his left hand completely free while eliminating background noise.

Monster guitar player!!!...🤙😎🤘

He's incredible, god damn. His "slow" pass through the section is tough for me at that speed haha

That was great, cheers!

Great video!

Jason: "Now I am going to try to play it faster Me: Was that the slow part?

Very Useful info

The Majesty is a beautiful fiddle, but I’m really digging his sig cutlass. I need it! I wish he had it here.

I cAn't play as fast as his ...SLOW...great run. And now I have to learn how to sing. Thanks for showing your Amazing Technique.

This dude is awesome \m/

The way you can tell his timing is incredible is because when he slows down the riff, there’s a perfect harmony from the delay repeats coming through.

Tim Henson = Every guitarist's worse nightmare Jason = Tim Henson's worse nightmare

When you can play inhumanely fast arps, that youll just reveal casually your secret technique in picking perfectly.

Finally a good recommendation from KZfaq

Amazing player....

Amazing

Sounds better and tasty when slowed, his original pace is flash fast to even listen to it and to really appreciate the tone of the licks but instead we appreciate the pace and speed of his lightning fast appregiozzz

THANKS.

How do you mute the high E string when you go up again? My palm mute is really good, but the e string always rings when i go up. I guess i have to do it with my left pinky, but it feels weird, since my pinky has to go to the G string.

It sounds absolutely beautiful really slow. It sounds like noise really fast.

JR - into a run that literally can't be economy picked Rick Graham - hold my beer 🍺

if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly

This started as a lesson and then went to a "betcha can't play this" really fast

All movement is coming from the wrist? I've always been told that I should use my forearm to pick because when picking with the wirst you use your lower arm (smaller) muscles and with forearm picking you use your upperarm (bigger) muscles.

Hello, im on justins guitar beginner course grade 1 (almost done). Any tip for doing this? Seems not so complicated

So freaking FAST !!!👍

Great points dude👍👍 How long did it take you to fully develop your right hand, where you felt totally comfortable with improvisation🤔 Months or years.

Nice watch.

Reaaally wish we could’ve gotten a zoom when he showed how he holds the pick.

Oh wow thanks i am perfect at picking now

Guy's insanely good. I wonder how the All That Remains spot is going..?

Met him outside of a Periphery show at the Wiltern in LA by the parking structure.

i have a question and pls answer me if you can. He says that we dont want to pick with the forearm but at 2:10 he clearly picks with the forearm. What should we do after all??

Bummer. I have a major wrist injury from industrial work accident 15 years ago that almost ripped my whole arm off (spooling large cable) I can’t play like I used to, so using the forearm is all I can do.

Oh.. So that's slow.. Wonder how snails moves for him.

If I could pick as fast as he does "slow" i would be very proud of myself.

Let's say, hypothetically, we were ascending major arpeggios.

Yes slowly👌

So in slow motion he shows us a 35 second riff, then he plays the whole riff in 2.4 seconds. I have a tip for Jason: Go attach a mini fire extinguisher to the back of that guitar.

The jason's voice is so Funmy xD ❤️

He says he doesn't pick from his forearm, but when he goes super fast alternate picking, it looks like the motion is coming from his elbow?

Came for guitar tips, leaving without my guitar because I smashed it.

Go to the video options, select .5 speed and then listen to the fast part. He gets about 60% of it right.

That's what I've been doing wrong cause I'm ok with the first couple of strings then my palm moves of the low string causing noise

2:33 economy picking 2:57 3:12 alternate picking

If you can get what he’s showing here, it’ll literally make a massive improvement in your playing, some of which will happen immediately.

I wanted to share some words of advice because I took away some misinformation from this video, and just corrected myself. For one, your picking hand does not need to be nearly as flat as his. There are multiple ways to accomplish the same goal. The monkey fist thing is totally a matter of preference. I use a taller shape that looks more like the Troy Grady ergonomic mouse idea. This won't hinder your speed. Secondly, he incorrectly says that he is picking all from the wrist when Jason's style very prominently uses elbow motion. If you try to use all wrist, your angle of approach is going to change instead of thinking of your hand like a tool on the end of your arm that you can move by extending and not just pivoting.

Wow that's great! What kind of pickups are in his guitar?

Demasiado deley.....!!!

For all the people saying "slow?" and such, if you're having trouble distinguishing the notes use the playback speed function in the settings of the video player. You should all know this by know, being guitar players, but just in case anyone doesn't know.

Wow damn

I need to know how Jason mute string when sweeping

Thanks for giving a picking video, i struggle alot with how to keep my alternate picking through sweeps into scale runs. After watching this video i see that i cant keep 1 picking style for all sonic assault shredding. And that is my answer to a decade long inconvenience ive had.

Oh. I thought this might be an advanced lesson. Maybe next post. ;-)

Okau so now that ive seen it....where should i throw my guitar?🤔

Ffs palm muting seems like it’s going to be a problem but I’m still trying to figure out how to make my guitar sound like something ?!?! Help !!

Now I'm going to try and play it fast me blinking *I missed it*

this is actually really fast :-O

which delay pedal and delay type do you use

He can see the future in that huge ass watch.

Sounds so much better slow.

My brain hurts

Why do many players record with alternate picking and play live with economy picking? Why not record with economy aswell? I’m wandering this genuinely, thanks!
