QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Mar 5 2007, 02:38 AM)  A "stamina" lesson is a great topic - once you have gotten to the stage where you are physically able of doing things fast - you also need to have control of your "speed bursts" . That's where stamina comes in! Stamina - yea! Bring it on - my arms and hands ache from all the practicing, I need way more .. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (browq @ Mar 6 2007, 05:05 AM) one tip i want to add witch helped for me it's a tip from petrucci's instructional dvd say you playing this pattern on the G string. 2,4,5 as tripplets. let's say for instance you can play this at 180 bpm at the metronome (i can't). Do the excersise for like a minute at this speed than slow it really down to like 100 or 90 for about 30 sec( don't have to lower the metronome and raise it each time, just slow the speed real down) then go back to 180 for about 20 to 30 secs and return to slow. you don't have to stick to the seconds i told, just make sure you do it as fast as you can and then go back to real slow. this has already worked great for me. changing the tempo constantly wil increase stamina a lot good luck That makes a lot of sense - give your muscles time to recover a little in between speed runs I guess - thanks for the tip I'll give it a go  when I get back from my business trip this week and can play my guitar again

QUOTE ([email protected] @ Mar 7 2007, 08:19 PM) I know what the original poster means.... ... the best way I can describe it is in where the motion comes from: "jogging" for me is picking with movement in the wrist 'running" is picking with a locked wrist once I could do the movement with the wrist locked - and under control - my speed really took off... I really agree with you and really want pavel and kris' input on your comment. I am going to IM them and ask them to read this. Thanks -------------------- - leedbreak

Yes locking it is the typical shred way of doing it. Now if you have som extra practice years and want god-like speedpicking tone you can learn how to do it with the wrist - like Eric Johnson, very few guitarist today can pull that off however...!

Well - i already said in another topic that a lesson on Speedpicking is coming this Monday and i'll particulary stop at right hand to clear it for you
"jogging" for me is picking with movement in the wrist "running" is picking with a locked wrist -- this is a 90% good answer! Rusty Cooley picks that way and i've been playing like that for a long time now - and as i sad we'll talk about it in the next speedpicking lesson. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |
