First video: 88000 views. Second video: 29000 views. Third video: 12000 views. Surely only the immortal ones reach the last video. Someone leave the first video in the tuning part, because is too difficult tune down a half step.

jeff here is such a beast... way beyond my current level of playing, but seeing someone as skilled and tasteful as him inspires me to work harder to try to be able to play like him. i get that when i listen to some of the really crazy players, not because i want to surpass anyone but i want to get to that level and be able to come up with and play the kind of things like jeff here. guys like him inspire me to try to push myself to get better.

+warhammer265 amen brother! good attitude. make sure you work with a metronome at least one hour a day doing chromatic speed exercises
@warhammer265 8 жыл бұрын
+phantomofoaktown thanks! and definitely, i do the exercises he does in the video pretty much every time i sit down to practice to a metronome along with some other ones. they are pretty effective. i also snagged a jeff loomis dvd where he goes through some of his songs and ideas and such, pretty challenging i gotta say but then again it IS jeff loomis so i figured it would be lol gives me something to work on anyways

Clearly Jeff has studied a lot of Paul Gilbert´s instructional videos. I think that if you´re over 40 and a hard rock/metal player, hardly you have not studied those videos at some point in your practice, they where very popular in the guitar community in th 90´s. Petrucci´s instructional video was also very good for helping to develop picking speed.
@kungfuman82 2 жыл бұрын
Agreed. I’ve been watching a lot of Al Joseph’s instructional videos on KZfaq and he seems to coalesce all that stuff in a way that makes sense to me. I don’t know, it’s like one of those “when the student is ready, the master will appear” kind of things.

@solidranger Its because 7 strings are just one extra low string. You can tune all six strings the same as his, you'll just be short one string. However, since most of this is lead and arpeggios, etc, you would never know the difference because he rarely will use the seventh string (if he does, you can leave it out or substitute something else in for it). I'd personally say that the "six stringers" like you and I could probably do everything in the entire video set (granted we could play it of

The L.A. Notes the problem is you don't have the proper tension with thinner strings and a shorter scale length, so when you hit the note it goes in and out of pitch, which sounds terrible. Thicker strings and longer scale length keep the notes tighter and allows you to play cleaner, it just sounds better.

Estoy confundido. Debo tocar con la plumilla alternada todo el tiempo o se vale tocar dos cuerdas en la misma dirección sin alternar ???
@Arturianosable1 8 жыл бұрын
Te aconsejo que hagas lo posible para siempre alternar, porque parte del ejercicio es que hagarres forma en el switch picking interno, que son los más difíciles cuando tocas rápido.

+Balam Gallegos Macias yo desde que empecé a aprender solo, usaba economy picking sin saber lo que era, simplemente se me hacía mejor tocar de esa manera y no lo he cambiado nunca, una vez que empecé a tomar clases en dos academias, trataron de imponerme picking alternado pero no me sentía a gusto; sólo en muy pocas ocasiones y licks me sentí mejor usando picking alternado, pero son pocas excepciones, así que tú toca como mejor te sientas, y no dejes que nadie te diga como tocar.

LOve Loomis work!! but really everyone, Learn from him just as anyone of your Favz and develop your own without getting beat down. Jeff Beck may NOT be able to play like Loomis or Steve Via but, Jeff Beck has a Beautiful Style, Sound and Distinction all his own. Push forward Continue learning and Fall in love with the instrument without frowning how you can not Play Like Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Jeff Loomis or Yngwie Malmsteen or any other artist you Favor. ENJOY THE THERAPEUTIC CARESSING OF THE GIFTS THAT GOD DOES GIVE US!! (>xO)
