Would be better without the slapstick.

Be more like Paul Gilbert.....says every guitarist even the famous metal guitarists in the mirror every morning lmao

Thank you Hansi Kursch

He actually got funny

Speed picking is like life, friends, lover, haagen-dasz. You are alone facing it and you have to make your own choices.

Stop yapping bro get to the point geez

It doesn't sound like malmsteen... that's more like batio 😂. Terrible. Please use a stratocaster and improve your technique.

No, you are wrong for thinking that there is a right & wrong way to write music this is why yngwie achieved his dreams & your here telling us why he is wrong. 🤔

I thank you for all your videos. I always had questions and I've searched 100 of videos but your videos always have the answer. I had stopped playing when I stopped progressing a few months before but your videos on control and tension and why I'm stuck on a tempo will certainly help a lot.

You're using a floating trem. Makes it 200% easier

this couldve been a 4 minute video

There is no good comfortable position when it comes to the electric guitar. Whether you keep it on the right leg or left in both cases you will feel some discomfort. It also depends on the scale length of the neck. Shorter necks are more comfortable. And then there are multiple other factors. Guitar manufacturers don't pay enough attention in ergonomics in my opinion. It is all the same for decades without much improvement. Like politics, very slow in making progress.

Thank you 😂😅 I will have to try this!

Glad to watch this again and take notes. I had trouble hearing everything when I watched it live.

thanks for the exercise 💪🔥

It all comes automatically Just to keep practicing to get used to it.

this is by far the worst guitar video i have ever seen

if you do this all, you play like a robot. lets break the limit. all you do is use swiping picking it allows you whatever position because it dont depend on the right hand but in the left hand.

Thank you Sir! Your instruction is so detailed.

Ngl, the "start the engine on an OLDER car" threw me for a loop, damn we getting old y'all! Great video and content tho 😂

Really good video

Great lesson! Thanks!

Keep your thumb on the back of the neck and keep your fingers parallel to the frets . 😊 " Keep Your Eyes On The Road ... "

Can this guy play a song playing fast the ability to play fast it's a great tool to or ability to have but playing guitar isn't just to play fast playing fast all the time just one speed fast would make someones playing sound like crap the ability to shred it's a tool but it shouldn't be the only tool one should have.

Great talk guys!

I really struggle with the Technical Difficulties riff with directional picking and this style of picking in general. Any chance of some tips on this? Thanks in advance!

The Real Guitar Teacher

Less than 90% of people have fast twitch muscles and can sprint. These same people will likely have varying degrees of predominantly slow twitch muscles in their hands and forearms and will never be able to shred.

Could you define the difference between bpm and notes picked per minute?

OH TYSM I CAN PLAY STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN...THE FORBIDDEN RIFF 😁

This was a great conversation. First time viewer. Subbed. Thanks guys 💯

Super, thanks' a lot.

Forearm Rotation is the #!1 villain holding you from doing insane pinch harmonics in your guitar.

I built my own really nice foot rest out of wood. I find that I'm more inclined to use it since I put effort into building something nice.

According to this video I am like intermeddiate player. But well, I cant awake from the lenght of my learning.

I still do small swings in my picking hand 🙃

Valuable video. This is perfect for intermediate players (like myself) who have a decent grasp on things but need to iron out nuanced issues. I found #4 particularly helpful.

i’m so glad i clicked on this video. my guitar teacher was telling me to use my thumb as a clamp. i have nerve and numbness issues and his way has my hand/arm f**ked up.

Stevie T. tank version 🤫

Guys, play every guitar besides of v's like first example. Don't make the most cool instrument lame

This video is very blue.

hi In my opinion, the type of guitar and active pick-up has a great effect on the correct sound

Also, move the whole wrist -not just the fingers- or you’ll be all stiff.

I think the right way to play was the way you can do it

Nice chest muscles🤙🏼 What's your 1 rep max at bench press? 🤔

Damn. Bernth taught me to play with a closed grip though. There's alotta contradictory information about optimal guitar playing

I have a lot of work to do. I watched some other KZfaq videos and ended up getting around 20bpm faster after lots of practice, but watching this video I realized I am doing a lot of things wrong. Im glad I realized on my own something in this video which I did correct. Back to the basics again.

Mike, the last few days I was working on improving relaxation at high speeds. I came across an interesting fact: speed scaling is NOT linear. I agree with the video and what Shawn Lane says BUT, just because you can pick clearly and steady at 160 it doesn't mean the same applies to 100. Let me explain: take a simple phrase (lest say 4 chromatic notes per string, Petrucci style) and do the whole drill, start around 80, then increase 5 bpm until you hit 160 (or whatever speed you feel comfortable at your top range). You'll notice that you start relaxed and very controlled, but around the middle (around 100 or so) you start to tense up. The technique for playing slow hit a break point and needs readjust (relaxation, less motion range) to overcome tension. Then you start getting comfortable again until you hit another similar break point, at around 160 more or less. Again your technique needs to readjust. Also you start having problems to pick mainly from your wrist and start adding a lot more elbow than before. So, the point: even thou you have to practice fast to address problems at high speed, if you don't play covering the whole range you'll also miss problems that arise by playing at medium speeds. The benefit of starting slow is revealing problems on the whole range instead only on the top speed, if that's your goal of course. On a side note, I don't think even Petrucci can play at 200 bpm exclusively from the wrist. It obvious to me that he readjusts at least 2 times on the whole range ¿What do you think?

When you play rhythm with chords etc do you angle the pic? I have been doing a few things correctly and a few incorrectly. I am adapting to angling the pick for notes. However, I think angling the pick for strumming may be different. What is your recommendation?
