Picking hand mechanism: OMG Darius that was YOU ? I chanced upon that video a long time ago and thought 'Man this guy's picking is INSANE !' It actually encouraged me to try picking using just my thumb / finger/ wrist area but I just can't do that ! Haha, what a cool surprise To add to the original thread topic, I would encourage you to spend a bit more time actually jamming riffs. I always make better progress when I play music, instead of concentrate on exercises. You might find my approach to working on right hand stamina useful as well.. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Stamin...-2-Downpicking/ |

Everybody gave you here very good tips for improving your alternate picking for playing solos and riffs. In your video you are playing strumming... do you mean that you want to get better playing it? what songs for example are giving you problems? -------------------- My lessons

Hey man - I assume you would like to develop your strumming capabilities and if you mentioned the Daft Punk tune, I assume it should get funky - why not try these ones for size?

It wasn't me...it was a Devil himself Nice to know You finally find out who is that guy ha ha ha ha! Really cool video Darius I was very unfortunate about fast picking, for a long while I used my arm and though there were no problems on exercises I noticed it started to hurt if I play more than 2-3 fast tempo songs. The muscle on my arm simply needed a rest and this was terrible as I noticed this too late (probably already been playing for 3-4 years at the time). I had to give a break to playing the guitar for maybe more than a year (for piano). It was sad but later turned out to be the best thing I re-started on picking after watching many Paul Gilbert video's that are from his later era (interesting to know he too had to change his technique), giving the power and control to my wrist. Still practicing but seems to work The method I'm showing is good itself but still need some good practice and warm up. I found I also have problems with precission and speed before the warm up. It about having the problem to keep constant balance between the tension and relax moments. Fingers movement is too soft to work as a standalone so the Wrist is needed too. The only problem is that even if You know the trick it's still good old "to much tension" when You try to play fast without a god warm up. It's probably the same problem since years and since the beginning perdio but later You just know what exactly is a problem and You're not searching for doing something bad anymore |

Hi Cosmin, thanks for your suggestions. Actually i'm using the book Funk Guitar by Ross Bolton, which is basically the same, except that here i have videos and slowed down backing tracks Go for those lessons that Cosmin suggested! These ones added to the exercises from the book will really help you. It's very important to practice using a backing track, a drum loop or metronome. That's why GMC lessons offer backings and metronome in the lessons. If that book doesn't include backings, create a drum loop or use your metronome. -------------------- My lessons

Hey mate - I know these - they are the tied note examples Great drills! It doesn't sound bad at all - you just have some slight timing issues at some points - just a matter of practicing I guess. I have a challenge for you Would you accept it and record yourself after being able to perform over the backing tracks found in this thread? Read about them and tell me what you think: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=557207

I love it, and feels great when you manage to stay in tempo I'll use this backing tracks to practice the exercises in the book, this way it will be much funnier than using just the metronome. Thank you Cosmin!!! |
