How lucky we are !!! ... get free this kind of lesson just by one click. Thanks Steve you are the ONE super man.
Steve, thanks so much! You're my favorite channel! This helped so much. The shaking the water off your hand analogy was perfect. I also saw how you were holding the pick. Looks like you keep your index finger bent at the middle knuckle only. I have been bending it there and also bending it at the end knuckle, if that makes sense. So my index finger is folder up, if you will. This might be causing me to go slower. I'm rusty and I haven't been playing due to frustration. I know it takes time and I need to put effort in. I stopped playing for years and am trying to get back into it. THANKS!
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience, Rotter! :-)
Re holding the pick, something Steve says all the time is that if he's doing something that isn't comfortable for you, or if you're more comfortable doing something a little differently than he does, that is 100% fine. Because if you're not comfortable and relaxed when you're playing, you're not going to play your best.
Hope this helps! :-)

You have to try Vpicks.. ZZ TOP, Santana, and Oritanthi use them. And Vinnie is a super chill guy. Boutique Home Grown Picks made in his garage.
Thank you. Love it.
I struggle when alternate speed picking on the thickest string, my pick will often get caught. Especially when transitioning from a chord or another string.
This has helped me enormously. I have been a jazz player for 40 years, at times professional, at others, not pro. The one thing that has held me back all these years has been my right hand. There seemed to be no way I could emulate Charlie Parker's alto. He was so fast. As you know,jazz guitar uses a lot of picked notes. I have been so disheartened at times because of my slow right hand. (Don't misunderstand, I can play at pro tempos but even this isn't near the lightening speeds of guys like Parker, Sonny Stitt etc)
Thanks to this instruction I believe I might have found the breakthrough that I have wanted for so long. I have only been practicing this 'speed' picking for 2 weeks, and only about 10 minutes per day. I can't play anything useful with the technique but what I have noticed is that my regular picking has gotten faster; I seem to be using more of my wrist when I play.
This is something you didn't mention. It's a good spinoff. By practicing the speed picking my regular picking has loosened up and has become faster. Noticeably so.
Thanks for posting this wonderful video. At the age of 55, after playing for 40 years or so, at a time when I thought I was plateaued out for good, I have a new life in my playing.
Thank you. I can't begin to tell you how much this means to me.
Hardtop Harry This is a great comment and put a smile on my face. Good for you, man. I haven’t lived quite as many years as you have, but at the age of 32, this video helped me MASSIVELY with the very same plateau in my skill/playing that you speak of. I’ve played professionally and played with bands since I was a young kid....a child actually. I’ve been stuck in the same place of ‘really good’, but not ‘great’, or, ‘moderately fast’ but not ‘awesome’, hahaha. I hope to be rocking and playing music with the same intensity when I’m 55. I rarely comment on RUclips videos, but just couldn’t pass up the opportunity respond to your comment. Take care and jam on, brother! Best wishes....
i know this is like 2 years old but if you want to use speed picking(tremolo picking) in a meaningful way you could always learn a black metal song like Transylvanian Hunger by darkthrone. it uses this in the bulk of the song, and with how chromatic black metal is im sure you could find jazz chord shapes in there so you could string skip or incorporate jazz chords
Chris Manzi I used to have the same problem bcs I would only practice sitting down and I was almost useless standing up. But just practice 10-15 minutes sitting then 10-15 minutes standing. I now practice just as much standing as I do sitting. It’ll make a huge difference. Also you’re body language whilst standing will improve and you’ll feel loose and comfortable doing it.
As a jazz trained guitarist and jazz fusion lover, I second all that!
Love this comment!
You think your hands are small? Hold my juice box
First step to speed picking......buy an Ibanez.
Hey Steve, I know this is an older vid, but it will always be relevant. My problem for years has been speed picking when you add palm muting to the equation, it changes the angles for me and I battle with it constantly; any tips on that? Thanks!

The devil is in the details. This is great info that’s often overlooked. Thanks dude for all your efforts.
I wish you were close by for some lessons. But your videos are very helpful.
See you next time 🙏👍
How to hold the pick, what parts of the arm, wrist, and hand to use/not use, pick type, and just general relaxed muscles are just some of the things I picked up from this vid.... I'm playin better already! Wish I would have had a guitar technique teacher a long time ago. Great vid!
The more of Steve i watch, the more i love the lessons! Really getting into my guitar again and thank you for the amazing videos and the inspiration!
Nice lesson dude. Speed picking is the culprit of metal guitar!
James Hetfield's Blag Fang picks are pretty damned good. They're sharp like the Dunlop Jazz III's but sized like a normal pick. They have different gauges, too!
Yeah , it is just Ultex sharp pick in black, those are mine favorite picks (I use 2 mm)
Some of THE best lessons on RUclips. Love your delivery, man. Very well done 👍 thank you
Thank you, Jake!
Steve
I had given up the electric guitar and had decided to stick with acoustic only - until I came across your channel. Thank you so much Steve, you show that with effort and dedication ANYONE can do it.
That speed is impossible to start with....seems to make more sense, maybe for me, to use a metronome and build up speed. Otherwise Never going to happen here & honestly, frustrating......
I think the title says "To Master Speed" not "To Increase Speed For Beginners"
Steve is an amazing teacher, I love watching these videos.

You’re so awesome dude you’re so well spoken and explain things in such an easily understandable way, thank you!
Finally! A man who is on the same page with the heavy pick. Great lesson!
Actually you can rub the edges of a pick on a carpet a couple times to sharpen it again, it has the same effect as sanding it.
This guy has got to be the nicest and most helpful teacher on the planet. So helpful and pleasant.
Top quality lessons! Big fan! You’ve helped me progress further and further as a guitarist. Thank you!
Brian May uses a reshaped sixpence coin. These contain silver. They no longer strike six-pence coins, but you can still find them. May actually sells a line of metal picks based on his pick. Others have copied the idea and you can buy them online.
I used to study yngwie malmasteen speed picking video's.... I still cant acurately speed pick very well :) Ill stick to pentatonic blues playing :)
🚩Your one of the Fastest,i e seen on RUclips,an I Need HELP! Oh the triangle pick..is good,for those who spin in tjere hand. Ur the Knly one to Ever spoke of picks. Found Playing Electric,go thicker. I think start at 73mm and figure from there. Hope i find a excercize on this!! Thanks

Yes! Master Stine is also a member of _The Cult of Jazz III_ ! The John Petrucci picks are technically called _Dunlop Ultex Jazz III John Petrucci_ and are also a part of that family ;)
Edit: By that way, I know this video is from 2016, but you may want to try out the carbon version of Jazz III, as they last significantly longer than the regular nylon version.
I trust you with my life. That’s how much I trust you. You’re awesome
The way you can tell a good guitarist: play something kick ass and instantly switch gears to calmly lecturing
A Good guidar player also needs to hear this 1 time a month
Im so bad at speed picking. Im trying to learn the smoke on the water solo and cant even play the fast lick in the solo. Its not even that fast
Thanks for watching, Dragon! And don't be so hard on yourself. You're not bad at speed picking, you're just not good at it yet.
Stay positive! And remember, the more you play, the better you get, and the easier it gets to play. So keep playing! :-)

9:15, A little nod to David Bowie there haha
Its true about pick size lol. I bought a pick for five but all of them is a different sizes. So when i already comfortable with one size pick when i change to a bigger and thicker pick. I feel i dont need as much power as when i use the thinner picks and its affecting my picking technique and power so I need to adjust the power for picking.
Can you do about left hand or fretting hand speed. I think my problem is the left hand is much slower than the right hand
So Steve, what is the very first episode that you put out so that I might look it up and start from the beginning. Your approach to learning guitar just blows my mind and that I really understand it better then anyone had ever tried to teach me. I'd appreciate the help.
Fred
Don't throw away your picks. You can re-sharpen your picks by sliding the edge of your pick against carpet. A trick I learned by Via. I have saved a few bucks by using his method and other guitar players would hand me a dull pick. I scrape against the carpet and you can shape it to a fine point or not so fine. Fastest way when your music store is to far to go to durning rehearsals. Just a little tip for you (no pun intended).
i sand the pick when it gets dull
Were you in that movie called "Thirty Days of Night"? Kidding aside. Love your tutorials~~~~~!!!!~~~~
Seeing the pick you had I was thinking "That's a John Petrucci jazz III" and then you said it was. Lol. They are my absolute favorite picks.
Good eye! :-)

Steve is an amazing guitar player.
And an even better teacher
Thank you so much, I’m a guitar player that just started playing about a week ago and this video jump started me very fast on this
Most people get tense when locking the elbow. You want NO tension if you're really trying to speed pick. Pay attention to EVERYTHING you do, use a metronome, and practice with both hands INDIVIDUALLY, and then with both. Change your practice regimen, every two or three days, so you dont get bored, and always start and end with the correct order of things to practice. First learn how to hold the pick, then to notes on fretboard, ect ect...so on and so on. Never go above what you can actually play accurately, the only times you do, is if you're specifically trying to get that speed, whether accurate or not, into your head. Then it's okay to play fast and sloppy. It's a good way to find problems, to get used to moving that fast, ect.
Also, when practicing multiple note per string ascending and descending licks, don't keep your pointing finger in place and just let it sit there, always lift ALL fingers off the board when playing. Dont let your index just rest on strings as a crutch. Trust me it helps!
perfect, thank u master for this great toturial
I can't believe how many great guitar instructors there are on youtube now. You are one of the best! Thank you!!!
The giant triangle picks are best used as paperweights and kindling.
I bought a guitar from a pawn shop and the case had 3 of those huge triangle picks. No wonder they gave up and pawned it!
Very interesting information Steve.
Thank you.
I used to play with the JP signature jazz exclusively, but now I don't play with anything except the John Petrucci Flow picks. They are amazing for speed picking and transitioning like in economy picking.
You're the man Steve!!! I can't explain how much you have helped clean up speed up my playing!! I appreciate what you're doing man!!!
Sir..You're a great teacher
Been trying to play guitar for 14 years. I knew about the tremolo necessary to play fast and practice by playing slow the way you play fast then so on (from MAB). Have not been able to slow my tremolo down in order to practice so gave up on picking and opted for just legato. Was too awkward. Watching your video actually inspired me because of your depth of explanation - I "picked" up on my errors that also limited my playing all these years... gawd it helps having a teacher! Cheers!
Thank you so much for this lesson sir.. i learned fast picking because of your lessons
NEVER IGNORE a single word. Coz I am someone who had lost ability to play guitar anymore. Your shoulder, arms WRIST must be relaxed. We never had these lessons 30 years ago. Just to perfect a peace we played them for very long hours [12-16 hrs] this too is very bad. Pro's say to take a 10 mins break at every 45 mins. Take your mind out of it for a while .................. In short "Patience".
Love Paul Gilbert! One of the best Guitarist around!
Watch his Spanish Fly video...yikes !!!!
Two major never that will damage are ulnar & radial nerve sometimes median nerve. Condition name: Radial Tunnel Syndrome (elbow/thumb/index), Carpel Tunnel[thumb/index/middle] & Cubital Tunnel...( pinky, ring & middle finger). SO, keep your calcium/minerals/ Vit D cheeked ie; if you see the symptoms & leave your guitar for a week or 2. Use wrist splinters as well.
Thanks Steve
I bought a pack with a variety of different picks so that works 😀
Notes:
1:using a hard or medium small pic
2:hit the string as close as humanly possible
3:use elbow or wrist moment
4:relax
5:dont confuse or fight with left hand
Video/Information/Section/Lesson cut off before ending...
the hard part is switching from soft strumming to picking lines,
Steve, I have watched several of your videos over the last few days and I just wanted to tell you that they are very helpful. Thanks so much!
Nothing worse than a spaghetti noodley pick!
I've always been a finger pick style thumb index middle always found it the best for me,but I wanted to go further the past year,so I had to learn to use pick and alternate pick it was frustrating am still having trouble holding the pick when playing past 135bpm alternate picking soon as I wanna get faster I feel the pick is away to fall out my fingers any tips steve?? Please help as I no my brain and body wants to push faster but my fingers are going to drop the pick if u no what I mean,I'm using jazz 111 picks I have even used abit sandpaper on them but still I feel it's no different is it muscles I dont no
Silly question about the right hand position... Should it be muting the rest of the strings while shredding the first 3 (E,B,G) ?
Anyone? I think Steve missed that part
That's not a silly question. :-)
If you're having trouble with string noise, and it's comfortable for you to mute the strings that way, then go for it! Just keep in mind that having the heel of your hand pressed in one spot will limit your range of motion a little, which might make moving from string to string a little more difficult.
It's all about finding what's most comfortable for you and works best for you. Hope this helps!
-- GZ Staff
@@Guitarzoom Thanks for replying! That's totally true. I'm actually struggling with this.
Awesome channel 🤘
Totally agree on the wrist motion…but…wrist motion combined with a bit of finger motion, which is a bit like how you would write with a pen or pencil. It requires a very relaxed right hand, so you’re not consciously moving the fingers very much. It’s very slight and compliments the wrist motion. Steve Vai covered this in one of his instruction videos here on YT.
Nice video. Thanks! I am wondering about something, and maybe others would like to weigh in. It seems to me, that even if you think you are using your wrist, you still have to use your arm. It's nearly impossible to keep the arm still. If you move your wrist to pick the string, there is resistance against your wrist. That resistance transfers into your arm. So really, you are always using your arm. When he picks slowly, he is using mostly his wrist, but when goes into tremolo, he is moving his arm more up and down. His wrist is definitely moving, but if you look at his tattoos, you can see that his arm is also moving up and down. It's very subtle. I actually play acoustic guitar most of the time, so the resistance may be more apparent. I think the resistance is still there, even with lighter strings. I m starting to think that arm movement is more important than I was aware of. The wrist has weak slow muscles in it, and if you move too far in one direction or the other (which has been one of my problems) you don't have the speed or coordination to move faster and cover more distance.
These are great tips. I have to think about smaller wrist motions and reevaluate my picks. I think they may be too dull.
What pick is good for both speed picking shreddy stuff and chugging metal rhythm stuff? I find the smaller shred picks are not great for chugging power chords and big thick picks not good for shreddy solo stuff.
Thanks for emphasizing intuition and looking inward... just the very ways to look at life and its majesties. I've watched about 4 of your videos today. I appreciate your enthusiasm and honesty.
I also notice your customizations on that Ibanez and they're great!
The music store I shop at gives me free jazz picks with any purchase. Shop local guys. I cannot recommend this enough.
I can speed pick real good. But I can't right now cuz I got a cut on the thumb of my pick hand. But if it weren't for that cut. Whew howdy! I'd speed pick the dickens off some chickens.
Hi Steve, may I ask the model name/number of this guitar? It's a JEM but never seen such a beautiful black guitar before. And many many thanks for your videos, I enjoy watching them very much 🤗
It looks to be a JEM 7D. It has active pickups so don't know how that happened.
My picking definitely improved when I changed gauge of pick , have used both the petrucci and jazz iii nylon max grip and recommend both. Have smaller thicker hands so those type of picks suit me
Thanks for watching, Niall D! And thanks for sharing your experience with guitar picks! :-)

I always sharpen my picks lol until they get too short that is. Im too cheap to just throw a pick away that i can squeeze some more riffs outta
Hi Steve I love your guitar, I notice it is an ibanez jem.. Are the paint job and the inlays custom?
Its probably a custom shop.
Ibanez don't have a custom shop... They only make custom guitars for their artists (that play in popular bands only)
For some reason I switch picks about once a year. Never use the paper thin ones although I've seen some folk shred with them.
Jesus, man, this was an excellent video. Such an awesome instructor too.
This lessons helped me much . I like playing solo guitar but not financial good to buy a guitar instead I borrowed a guitar from my friend, please any one who can help me get a guitar will help me much to exercise my talent
Your strumming and picking videos helped me immensely. I started to try to go for a metal strum and needed to change my strumming hands position to be able to also seamlessly palm mute. I immediately needed to adjust how I held the pick and needed a smaller pick that was thicker. I went from a standard sized 1mm Dunlop to the 3mm stubby that is pretty small and it makes speed strumming much easier.
Agree. i have to unlearn now my novice skill in picking and it really matters with the sound
For me, it's the pointy red and black Dava pics that are about a millimeter thick and the same as you as soon as the point is worn off I toss them out. As soon as I started using these pointy pics it was like the door opened to my alternate picking and speed increased 100%
I recently shifted from a Jazz III to an Acoustik Attak Stealth. What a difference!
i was use the Big Stubby 3.0mm guitar pick, but when i checked the Big Stubby 2.0mm i feel, it works better for me, until now!
dude you are FUCKING BRILLIANT. FUUUCKING BRILLIANT!
your lessons are awesome i am 50 years old but enjoy playing alot and your lessons always bring me to the next level thanks
You don’t anchor or right hand? I’ve been playing for 40 years not sure if I can break that habit
Excellent video about right hand technique thank you!!!
This is literally some of the best advice I've ever seen/heard.
Thank you for your help!

You are the on line teacher I would most want to sit and have a beer with. I'll buy.
Using a big pick i move it down my fingers till its basically a jazz III
I noticed the use of the neck pickup . Most, but not all shredfasters seem to prefer the rounder tone verses the bite of the bridge. I'm going to start incorporating the neck pick up more often.
Im only here looking for excuses why a suck at playing.
You can sharpen your picks but running them across your carpet on both edges
Adjust the hair adjust the sleeve SPEED PICK
i would think pressure on much sturdiness what be the first thing or second behind grip
or how about string tension...ive found that strings that are loose tend to bind the pick
Hi Steve, I have a question, this is an insightful fascinating lesson, but what are your thoughts on the Thumb Pick? I would like to learn your kind of music or any music using the thumb pick. I really that it is a little more practical using the thumb pick as opposed to the flat pick. Keep in mind I am not against the flat pick, I love it too, but using the thumb pick frees your index finger to do other patterns on the guitar. Most guitar players I know maybe 99% don't like the thumb pick. One of my favorite guitar players, like Johnny Winter used it. think one of the guys from Megadeth uses a thumb pick, Chris Broderick. What is your opinion on the thumb pick? Or anyone? Thanks.
