This is a bizzare feeling but I’m already getting the speed up and the fact I’m even able to sound 1% like Tosin Abasi is enough for me to know I can get to 5-10% of sounding like him. Exceptionally informative video!!!

Dude what even is that guitar 😶 Rick Toone is a mad wizard. That thing is a work of art. The lesson was great too 👍

playing for 20 years, wasn't practicing guitar for a while your videos really got me back into it! practicing 3 hours a day and its going amazing thank you brother

I love playing selective picking riffs and licks. Nice job, brother! 🔥🔥🔥

THE MAN HIMSELF!

Awesome instructional. Trying to get into it and this helps me understand what’s possible. Thanks

These are some great examples helping me to think a little more outside the box and apply the selcetive picking principles, thank you so much, man! :)

Great video, will be keeping an eye out for a full composition for the third example👌. I though am an amateur and keep getting this fuzzy sound especially on the lower strings, so any advice would be appreciated.

Brilliant tutorial bro! Incredible playing too. Thank you so much for this!

Explained well. Good job.

Very smooth sir! Great video and good quality!

Finalmente entendi essa técnica, obrigado!

Excellent video! I have a few on selective picking myself, but I really like your approach!

You deserve way more subscribers man, super tutorial!

Muito bom o vídeo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent tutorial! Thank you very much

Ty for this video and all your other amazing tutorial videos!

you are a saint, these are lovely exercises. thank you

Great playing and exercise. Thanks

Really helpful breakdown, thanks for posting

Yo this is amazing! Instantly subbed

Grazie Gabriel sembra molto interessante, un saluto da Palermo, Italia😊👋🇮🇹🤟🎸

Awesome lesson im gonna write my own! Subscribed

That headstock broke my brain for a minute. Fantastic tutorial, btw. Thank you.

Very nice Gabe!

Great lesson!

Awesome playing man ! And that Rick Toone tho 🔥

Thank you! and that's a dope guitar!!

Excellent playing. Subbed.

Excellent video Gabe the Babe!! 🦾

sick asf dude! super good vid!

thank you! fantastic!

Thank you very much!

Sounds interesting, good job friend.

So that's what it was! I heard this before! Cool!

I keep coming back to this video. Really enjoy your teaching style and the way you make techniques accessible. Would be interested to learn about the clean Axe FX preset you are using.

Nice dude 👌

Am I the only one who thought that last riff slowed down would make a sick metal tune?? Great video!

How do you not having a bazillion followers¿? You’re delightful to learn from !! Thank you, Sir!

So inspiring!

Cool video, and YES the Guitar's design really WTF'd me. Interesting concept with the neck joining the body

dude you’re amazing

Great video!! Maybe you could make one about your approach to hybrid picking or legato

Thanks Bro, You have helped me a lot and I don't know you... I hope soon to integrate this technique into my way of playing. I already bought your pack of 3 licks and I will practice them lml

That last example sounded fkn dope.

This is awesome, thanks for putting it together and explaining it simply. Maybe you could do one on tapping with right hand sometime? Sounds very cool man!

Haha, I actually preferred the sound of the third example at the slower tempo. The faster tempo is impressive, but that groove when it was slower... *chef's kiss*

So your blues based exercise is my new favorite. Gonna test it out on some other unlikely candidates

thank you for these exercises - super cool! are you palm muting every note while selective picking? just the "picked" notes? wasn't sure about that part

Great lesson criminally under viewed, love your guitar you should do demo/review of it, that headstock is crazy, will attempt to master the free ones and be back to purchase the other one ;)

This is a great lesson. Can you do a video talking about your tone setup for selective picking?

Great video, thank you. Maybe some addition of right hand tapping on this may be the subject of the next tutorial. Just an idea..

bro your guitar looks like an ultimate weapon from a final fantasy game

great❤❤❤

You got a band my guy? that was insane I wanna hear more!

Nice guitar dude.

Setup-wise, do you have a compressor in your chain to make the notes easier to sound-out or are you just really emphasising the hammer-ons and pulloffs?

That guitar looks crazy

Question! What are the musical benefits of doing this with a pick instead of your fingers? I found the same effect could be achieved by plucking twice/thrice with either one finger or two alternating fingers and that's way easier for me than using a pick. Will there by some upper speed boundary I wouldn't encounter with a pick or would the pick give me a more consistent sound at those speeds? (I'm still slow, but consistent, and it sounds nice). I think it's worth learning just for the challenge but I was wondering if there were other benefits I didn't notice.

Great tutorial thx ! Do you use a compressor ? My 'tapped' notes are way weaker that the 'picked' ones

"Having to unlearn the synchronization between the left hand and the right hand" Luckily, i never had it to begin with

squeaky clean playing my dude

Seriously a toone… your guitar taste is impeccable my man

Honestly I heard tosin do this and I just thought it was another weird technique that I was not really interested in, but then I saw the future with that arpeggio section in Polyhia's "Playing God" and knew I was fucked. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thank you for the lesson! Tell me, how much is compression or string gauge part of the sound? I fell like turning up my compressor adds more to the sound than 1h of practice. :-P Just kidding, I´m just wondering how to get those hammer ons as even as possible though out all strings. \m/

What kind of guitar is that? Looks like a Rick Toone design.

It sounds almost like a delay but it’s a wicked technique to play with

MIND.....FARKIN....BLOWWWNNNNNN

SELCT PLUS HIBRYD PICKING

3:49

Im not good enough for selective picking, just here for that guitar

What kind of guitar is that

What is that guitar? o_o

notes aren't coming out clear at all. Got the gain turned down on the Kemper, and reverb added.

1:02 timestamp for me

Don't 99% of guitarists already do this?!

turn auto focus off my friend :)

wtf is that neck

idont undestarnd nothing is a shit lesson
