Downward pickslanting is only one way, he also goes through other techniques in other lessons, like upwards pickslanting and a mix of those. I've been a follower of his for quite a while. Discovering the concept of pick slanting was a revelation for me. I find the downward/upward mix technique to be the most valuable. He has an excellent video that analyzes Paul Gilbert's picking that serves as a downward/upward mix example. By using a mix, you adjust your motion to adapt to what you want to play, rather than the other way around. In other words, the Downward/Yngwie approach restricts your playing to certain motions. The Mix/Gilbert approach can be applied to anything you want to play. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

Yeah, all the years playing guitar and I've never really thought about the deeper technique behind it all. I've just held the pick the way that felt most natural and comfortable. And that's what is mostly taught out there: "Hold the pick the way that feels best for you, don't care about how famous players do"... But I realise now I've hit the barrier following that advice.. I agree that there are some details and tips regarding holding the pick, and the hand movement that are essential to have an efficient technique and be able to play at fast tempos. I've seen his videos before and I find them really cool. It's great for Alternate Picking,however I feel that it's only 1 technique and element along lots of others that I consider important for my guitar playing. I hope that he gets into other concepts as well. -------------------- My lessons
