0:02 When you're so fast that you soul can't keep up with your body for a sec

I've watched this video like 100 times trying to learn this clean and slow and it blows my mind how clean and fast and dynamic you play it Rick. Also I have this in 0.25x speed to hear everything super detailed and I heard him say "extreeeeeeeeeeeemmeeeeeely" LOL

2:51 holy shit you're human

Rick, you are one of my favorite players/teachers on this planet. As well as one of my favorite composers for solo guitar. I’ve learned so much and thank you for consistently releasing content.

I was doing extremely well, until you made me realize that I suck at guitar. 😂

I'm gonna use this for Ola Englund's challenge.

I always like Ricks videos before I even start watching because you know damn well that Rick always puts the best stuff and I advise all of the viewers to do the same

Rick's lessons are gold... The best one is about string displacement... Transformed my playing... The light touch is where the speed comes from.

Master! The best of the best! Absolutely the almighty, Rick fuckin' Graham. There's no need to have sucess to be the best.

Wife - "what's that sound?" Me - " Rick's picking hand" Wife - "Jesus!" Me - "yes....."

nice video and great to see you using an ibanez again...

0:02 even 60fps couldn’t keep up

Rick face melting me again.

My “go to“ doctor picking techniques .

Yes!

Bro's camera couldn't keep up with the absolute sonic destruction that just came from his hands

Oh hell yeah!

2:51 is the only part i can do in this video 🤣

Thanks

I like the ticka ticka of the pick like Gary Moore etc,great playing Rick

Killer Lesson! You have been really delivering with amazing content lately!!! I can see you're doing extremely well! lol

You are insanely smooth and fast... damn Rick.... 😮

I enjoyed this video “extreeeeemely” well! Your picking technique is so incredible- sheer badassery, cheers!

Rick, please do a video on how to make economy picking sound less smooth and more aggressive?

I never quite understood why the name "economy" picking until recently when I really spent time practicing (after ten years lol) like money, make the most while spending the least. Get the most out of the least amount of movement, I guess.

Awesome!!! always extremely well ...

Masterful as always!

That's greeeaat Rick ! Keep it up ! Love the daily video thing !

Muito bom seus vídeos! Curtimos muito aqui no Brasil! parabéns

HOLY SHIT!

What pick does he use? Love his clarity and tone

With no intention of starting a lengthy and senseless argument over names used for various picking techniques I think your picking technique is a variation of economy picking called 'Directional picking'. That is if I understand correctly how you apply inside picking when switching strings. The number one "rule" of 'Directional picking' is when moving between strings, upon reaching the next string, the note is picked in whichever direction the pick is moving.

Yes Rick!

glad it works for you.

When you say hybrid picking most people will think about using a pick and fingertips together.

Rick, your chops are absolutely amazing. The closest I've ever seen to Jason Becker. I don't take that compliment lightly either

A true master 🙌

Rubber fingers is back, superb

Have you tried blue chip or red bear picks? And do you gig with the fractal and do you find that playing through tube gear changes anything in your feel and dynamic. I always am curious if most players are using the fractal for gigs or just for online?

RICKKK DO YOU EVER GO TO NAMM??? Please go to 2020 namm your my favourite guitarist

7:45 how about up down up down up hybrid to turn that into a swybrid pattern?

What amp do you use to achieve that tone? It’s incredible and I’ve been saving up a lot of money for a really good rig for a while

Hello. Great video.

For anyone wanting to have fast alternate picking just check out Takayoshi Ohmura and the way he picks.

The DMaj9 to F# got me in my sweet buns

Don't forget to do an upward pickslant to negotiate the inside picking string change.

Great job rick's.. It's very hard for me to play fast.

1:55

Great playing, Rick. What guitar is that?

The MF’in BOSS!

What pick do you use? I'm looking at different picks, now i have just boyght some chicken picks and I wanted to know what are you using. Thanks

EXCELLENT

Hola

I'm doing ok, thank you.

Standard tuning forever

Show us some 240 beat down picking.

So much content

🔥🤟🤟

hello sir..what gauge of strings are you using for your strat?

What type of pick are you using while doing this?

All nice but... Wouldn't it be better without delay and distortion? It's not your case, but with such a loaded sound the right hand is almost useless if you have a good legato technique, while with clean sound there's no hiding and is all more useful from a learning perspective, at least for me. Nice of you to share anyway, thanks.

What type of saddles do u have in your guitar? 🤔

i big fan rick, my name is franky i from wales

Great lesson master Rick! Which pick do you use? Dunlop jazz III?

I've always been more comfortable with inside picking for some reason.

how can I get my guitar speed up?

@2:51 OMG! OMG! I SAW IT! RICK MADE A MISTAKE! I KNEW HE WAS HUMAN !!

Never in a million years. I admire anyone who can do this stuff, but I've discovered that I'm never gonna get to this level. Too old. If you are still young, - practice practice practice. And exercise your musical brain as well as your hands.

In the early days of lead virtuoso guitar the picking doctor was Paul Gilbert....in the last decade and a half at least ..its Rick Graham...

Like the drill picking trick of Paul Gilbert without the drill

For the life of me I cannot understand nor fathom how it would be more natural for someone to Economy pick& inside-pick when needing to cross over to the next string . It feels so uncomfortable for me & I can only alternate pick . It's weird because some of my friends can't get their heads around alternate picking either... Their brain can't compute how to cross over the string and play an upstroke... Is it a case of one over the other or can both be learnt successfully ?? I grew up watching Paul Gilbert and JP... I've always wanted to learn economy picking but not only does the 'mini sweep' catch me out every time, but also my entire vocabulary of licks and phrases would no longer work as they are all based off of alternate picking lines... ie an Yngeie fast picking pattern combines odd and even number of notes on each string yet an alternate picking pattern will often be strict groups of 4s, 6s or doubled-up triplets... hence a bit stiffer and robotic. Any help or ideas ??

I have no idea how I’m picking when I’m playing. Never have paid attention to it. I know I change it up at times but my concentration is always on the other hand. Am I the only one out there with this bad habit?

Key of d#? First, i need to become friend with that.

🤙😎🤘🤘🤘

What does it mean 'I know. I'm.' ? It's kind of answer, isn't it ?

almost...

When you play so fast, the camera pixelates.... ffs...

\m/. 😎

My right hand 🤚 picking SUCKS ! I just wish I could do what you do !?? 😨😰😰🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

:|@intro

Very economic movement of pick and fingers ... compared to him my pick-moves are around one meter

on the outside vs inside picking, it's most probably not the main thing... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLaGo9pj2MuvaXk.html

WTF? A Reptilian?

An Yngwie fan disliked ....
