You know it 🤘🏻

So two things here: 1) I addressed that very issue right at the start (around 55 seconds into the video). So I did state that the rest of the things here wouldn’t be helpful if you haven’t already thoroughly learned what it is you’re playing. 2) The place I disagree with you is the thought that if you can play it slow, you can just linearly speed it up and it’ll stay perfectly in sync. The walk to run analogy is actually perfect because it demonstrates this exact thing. The way in which you walk and run are two totally different movements. You don’t see competitive runners just walking super fast, they are different things. In that same way, constantly pushing the tempo up gradually thinking that it’ll always just stay in sync as you push it faster, doesn’t really work. At some point you do actually have to address the speed as it’s own issue. You do this by taking short phrases/smaller groupings of notes and pushing them up to much higher speeds than you can sustain for longer periods of time. This gets you used to the feeling of actually playing fast. Both sides of the coin are necessary, not just one or the other. Again, you don’t see sprinters just doing lots of power walking and then suddenly they are great at running.

I’m glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

Haha, I do think it looks pretty awesome on the Kelly’s. I did feel tho, that the finish on the guitar was so thick it just seemed to kill the guitar’s sound. Tried several different pickup sets in that guitar and it just always sounded muffled, so I no longer have it. Do you feel that way about your KV? maybe I just had bad luck lol

@JakeJensenGuitar I've owned a Kelly before and I noticed the same thing. I like the sound of the King V shape because it's so much lighter (less mass) than the Kelly. I think you might like the sound of a King V better.

So glad you enjoyed it! I’m definitely planning on doing more lessons soon, and I do always teach private lessons as well!

Thank you! And I am planning on doing so here soon! Currently relearning it for my band to cover, so I’ll be doing a lesson video pretty soon! Make sure to subscribe (if you haven’t already) so you don’t miss it!

I really appreciate that! Making the backing tracks definitely takes more time and effort, but I feel that it’s much better than playing over the song itself. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I’m glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching!

I’m glad you found the tips useful! The thumb muting can be really tricky at first, but it’s such an effective way of keeping things clean

I've got the same guitar and think the full shred is too bright in an also bright guitar. You can put filister screws in the full shred to make it more a custom 5. Didn't like the a2 pro for cleans. Now have this set and the cleans are brilliant while they give the charvel (on gain) a chunky body. Best bridge pickup for me in this particular guitar is the tone zone - give it a try.

@@Dennisbluschke I ended up putting a paf pro in the neck and a satchur8 in the bridge. Guitar sounds much much better, although I do think I could've gone with an even darker pup like the tone zone in the bridge, and maybe something more aggressive in the neck. But it's kind of a guessing game sometimes. Loving the guitar.

I kept the stock neck pickup, but in all honesty I don’t use the neck pickup a ton so I’m not super picky about that. I’m glad you found a setup that works for you though!

Have you ever thought why Steve Vai or Paul Gilbert never in their lives say mean negative comments like this

@@marcinmcula99 maybe they haven’t, but how do you know they don’t think it? Kirk isn’t on the same level as them. The truth is he’s highly overrated, just like Slash. 🤮

@@mercury4metal I don't think anyone thinks Kirk or Slash are on the same level of technicality as Vai or Gilbert. Slash plays a damn tasty bluesy rock solo and Paul plays a wonderful shred solo. Good technique is crucial but if that's all you think about then your music won't be any good

Maybe. But people don't seem to realize he's also playing the same downpicked riffs as Hatfield.

It is something that takes some getting used to, and isn’t the easiest in the beginning, but once you have it down it is a huge help in keeping things clean. But if you still find that you’re having trouble with it, I do offer private lessons, so feel free to check out my website for info on that if you’d like more help

@@JakeJensenGuitar Thanks, bro.

I thought his playing was pretty decent on Master of Puppets and And Justice For All, but listening to his faster playing on the first two albums, it just sounds sloppy. That being said, everyone has different preferences, and it was just a joke. Hope you still found the lesson helpful

Why is it that anytime someone disagrees with, or doesn't like something, it's automatically reffered to as hate? I'm really tired of it.

I’m not sure what exact settings I had on it for this video. Lots of mids, volume at less than 2 (probably just over one, it was insanely loud), boost on. That’s about all I remember for it

@@JakeJensenGuitar it’s really hard getting a Guns N’ Roses tone out the runt 50

Thanks for letting me know. I happen to love them. Thankfully we each get to chose what guitar(s) we play for ourselves 👍🏻

@@JakeJensenGuitar u‘re welcum

The exact opposite for me😂

Why would you tame that magnificent mane?

I pull it back or wear a hat when I feel like doing so. But on that day I felt like keeping my hair down, because why have it if it’s always going to be pulled back? So sorry to hear that it was such an issue for you tho. Have a good one

Thanks man! It can definitely be tricky, but I’d say it’s doable as a whole. And if nothing else, just trying to work your way through it could make you a better player, even if it’s not up to speed. And I was thinking the same thing about the mic actually, definitely going to look into one!

I am… is that a problem for some reason?

@@JakeJensenGuitar nope, just an observation... most people say something about it beforehand, that's all!

I hope that it helps! And just make sure that you’re taking things slow enough at first to build the proper habits back up. If you still feel like you’re stuck and need some more help check out my website for info on private lessons!

I’m glad that you found it helpful!

Thank you! I really appreciate it 🤘🏻

Ikr? Jacksons are my absolute favorite 🤘🏻

I completely agree, and if nothing else you just have less of a chance to get comfortable with the motion in one direction with the 3 string sweeps, because you’re going to be changing direction so often. I’m glad you enjoyed the lesson!

It’s a Jackson Pro Series RR24Q in Winterstorm finish. Recently I’ve only seen them selling this in purple, so I’m not sure if they’re still doing the white finish or not

I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson! And thank you, I love this guitar 🤘🏻

@@JakeJensenGuitar I wish it was available in a lefty

This was from his solo contest in 2019 (hence the date it was posted). Not the upcoming shred contest he’s doing
