In the coding world you refer to these chunks as snippets. In molecular biology it’s snips. Universal and powerful concept! 🎸

Interesting of snps and uniqueness

Yes! We all need more lesson snippets just like this. Thanks John!

This is one of the best lessons from you yet... Opened so many doors for me J.. I love it when you take the time and slow it down for us less guitar skilled players. Thanks and God Bless you and yours bud...

I’ll paste what I mentioned in an earlier video you did: My experience over 20 years in regards to fast alternate picking: 1. Learn and practice how to tremolo pick with your right hand. Get comfortable, relaxed and go fast 2. Alternate pick two notes at first fast as you can. Keep practicing this two-note ‘chunk’. 3. Expand the two-note chunk to three notes. 4. Do different combinations of ascending, descending, finger combos etc 5. Keep expanding the ‘chunks’ 6. Simultaneously learn the damn fretboard- patterns, scales, whatever. You need to have an ingrained mental roadmap in order to play fast instinctively 7. The whole ‘start slow and gradually increase BPM’ seems to be well-intentioned but not accurate. Often ppl who can play fast don’t actually remember or know how they did it. It ain’t starting slow and building up lol. As you mention, the chunks are the key in doing two things: 1. Most efficient way of developing fast technique 2. Most efficient way of internalizing/memorizing sequences you want to play fast- if you don’t do this it is exponentially more difficult to ‘think on the fly’ and play novel fast lines

Brilliant, thanks!

If you use a large number of bricks to build a large wall, the less individual variety can be made, and the less size variation can be expressed in each individual brick. Expression has to be achieved over a number of bricks, having maybe a consistent tapering upper surface, or gradual but consistent shrikage in size. The same thing applies to notes; pretty simple really, but harder to realise on the fretboard and right hand pick strokes, than to concieve of in the minds ear.

Good stuff mate It’s about being musical but it’s also about knowing scales so you can let them go and feel what you want to play. You have to put the muscle memory work in and the ear training that comes from that to be able to then go I’m just gonna use that with feel and speed if that comes too. You need to to do slot of stuff that your showing to get to that effortless musical expression. Thanks

I've been recently chunking chromatic lines in 3s. I was playing a 3 note plus a rest sequence, repeated descending chromatically, and it seemed obvious to play it 3 notes per string. I'd normally go for 4nps as being more efficient, but it was easier to insert the rest with 3nps. I checked it with 4nps and found most things which had a 3s subdivision, even just an accent, were sounding better as 3nps. So now I devise lines initially as 3nps, then redo as 4nps, and keep to the one which sounds and feels best. Sometimes the last or first line is better as 4nps, with the rest 3nps. 3nps is also more convenient for reversing alternate 3s. I include 3+3 on the same string as 3nps too.

So, if your alternate picking sucks do you recommend legato or economy?

You could walk up the fretboard to avoid those crossover notes. But the whole point of the exercise is to deal with it :) Tongue twister for your fingers!

Quick question for someone new to Patreon. Will these tabs appear or do you only put selected tabs on?

@GearAGoGo 25 күн бұрын

Usually, Patreon will send you an email when someone you follow posts. I don't remember if that's by default, or if you have to enable it. For this video I just took screenshots of the overlays and stuck them in a PDF for easy access. HTH

Ahh… “chunking,” or as I like to call it, the “LMNO” method. Many people group together “L, M, N, and O” when reciting the alphabet, which is not dissimilar to what you do when “chunking” and playing fast phrases.

@ikitat 25 күн бұрын

"LMNO" I love this idea!
