my old teacher for accustic just told me to rest my wrist on the 6th string.. and I've been doing that for electric guitar as well 💀 I own a guitar for 5 years now
Such a wonderful lesson. I felt unnatural resting my elbow on the guitar and was trying to imitate the hand position of other guitarists on RUclips. This video is the only one that actually helped me improve. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much I've been playing electric for roughly 1 year and I've had my picking hand floating so that's probably why I couldn't play anything fast
The point of attack, with the picking hand, is actually a form of tone control. As you move away from the bridge, you change the tone to a less harsh sound. I even find myself strumming close to the neck when I'm looking for a full bodied rythem tone.
I’ve been looking for this kind of detail on RUclips regarding hand placement and pick angle. These are great exercises to practice. Thank you so much!
After watching hours over hours of videos for right hand placement this is the best I could find on RUclips! But the question I ask myself is still not answered: How to switch fast between palm mutes and normal picking (like shown in this video)? For palm mutes you have to move your hand in front of the bridge 1-2 cm, so to the left, up the neck. To pick without muting but still anchor your hand and not floating, you have to place your hand on the bridge, so move 1-2 cm back to the right. So if a guitarist plays e.g. 200 bpm 16. notes on the low e-string with palm mutes and normal picking switching, he would have to move his hand from "on the bridge" to "slightly in front of the bridge" in intense speed. But I never see guitarist to that. So what am I missing?
Thanks for watching. The way you described is my method. It's a game of milometers. The slightest shift and pressure can make the difference between muted and non muted sounds. You have to find that sweet spot. Some players like to use another finger to anchor against the body of the guitar and pivot off of that. Either way works. Thanks again.
… and then there are chords strumming and rhythm playing . So anchoring doesn’t actually work on a pro level. Explanation here ruclips.net/video/1nVE0mx_7WE/видео.html
Hi friends. I'm updating all of my older videos with a newer camera. Here is the updated version of this video in 4k60! ruclips.net/video/LYk3e31apUo/видео.html
i can't believe how over looked this is. Thanks so much, was really struggling with alternate picking, particularly as a big guy with long arms and hands. Awesome.
technically there's no wrong way to hold a pick, it's however your comfortable, but generally this is definitely the default resting position determined by majority guitarists
Yep. I've seen a million different methods of holding a pick. Some standard. Some homegrown. Some just plain weird. I can't harp on those exotic methods as they included fantastic performers. My style blends traditional classical alignment with flat picking. It works.
Hi! Any tip for someone new to electric guitar. Cause when I rest my palm in yhe bridge like in your video, i can feel some discomfort on my shoulder. It’s relieved when i make a floating hand technique much like in an acoustic guitar. Is this a positional error or is this something that will resolve as I continue practicing it? Thank you and awesome video
Hi Timothy. I see players pick with a floating hand with success. With the electric guitar, having the ability to control noise is important especially whenever you are using higher gain settings on an amp or pedal. Keeping the palm on the bridge for picking allows for noise control techniques like palm muting. You might be applying too much pressure against the bridge. This can cause tension in the elbow and shoulder. For strumming it's ok to float the hand.
Hi Levels for guitar ! Thanks for the video. I face the same issue. I am sure that I don't apply pressure. My shoulder hurts when I hold the position on the low E string. Also my palm doesn't touch the bridge. However from A string it is fine.
For those of you who are feeling discomfort when resting your hand near the bridge, I suggest you to straighten up your back and maintain a 45 degree angle on your arms and relax your shoulders. If there is still discomfort, maybe playing with a strap while standing can fix the problem. Just lengthen/shorten the strap til your arms/shoulders feel comfortable.
hey, i have a question. i struggle moving up n down the bridge because there’s resistance between my hand and the bridge so i get stuck when moving between strings. how do i counter this?
Love your method.. I’ve been playing for 49 years and have never been shown how to hold pick,palm.. super struggling with what you are saying.. how much for a 1/2 FaceTime to look at my technique ..? Cheers
So with the wrist placement for electric guitar you need to keep your palm rested on the bridge or can you just hover over it? When resting my palm on the bridge doing the pic exercise when I get to E and A string my palm get caught on the string, is it because of bad wrist placement? Good videos as always ❤
If I place my arm in a diagonal like you hold the pick right and place my hand with the palm on the brige like yours my pick is parallel to the strings, any Idea what I could be doing wrong? Or is it just my anatomy?
You could be bending your thumb backwards. Notice how my thumb is straight. From the top of the forearm to the tip of the thumb is a straight line. Some guitar players like to bend their thumb back. For my students the straight thumb works well since it is a more relaxed position. I have videos on how to hold the guitar and right hand position. Your issue could have something to do with alignment of your body and arm to the guitar. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
Also when practicing as someone who is just starting out should you just focus on one thing at a time i until you mastered it or should try to juggle lessons together?
@@LevelsForGuitar thank you for the reply I started doing 1 and 3 I’m still not consistent with the scales do you have a video on strumming exercises. With chords is it ok to hold off on it until I’m good with the first 3?
I'm wondering about your thoughts on playing a guitar with a tremolo bar. I like having the bar but have noticed recently that I sometimes pull notes sharp wresting my palm too firmly on the bridge.
I've never used the tremolo bar in my playing. You only need enough pressure to provide stability for pivoting while picking. I agree that the bar can get in the way....which is why I prefer not to use it. If I were playing Via type styles then a slight adjustment would be needed, but not to drastic. It can be done.
Would this be any different if you have an unconventional shaped guitar? I have an explorer and sometimes placing my picking hand on the bridge feels unnatural. Maybe i am holding the Guitar too low?
This should work with your guitar but there are other options. Check out this link. Here I am floating the hand for picking on the acoustic guitar. You can try this on the electric. Down the road palm muting will be important to you and keeping the heel of your palm on the bridge will aid in this. Hope this helps and thanks. ruclips.net/video/lhIMwXHxiQE/видео.html
holy fuck i was using my pinky as a pivot point beneath the bridge and after a night of playing felt like it was going to fall off also how does this work with floating tremelos? my palm is rubbing that when i use this technique...
Howdy. Actually using the pinky to stabilize the picking hand is a technique used by great players. I would practice both methods. With floating tremolos use light pressure if the tuning becomes an issue. Thanks for watching!
Yes, I am making contact with the adjacent strings. This is helpful in controlling noise and providing stability in the picking hand. Thanks for watching.
Clarify the area size and the angle the guitarist travels when playing high to low, low to high . Is it straight up and down or at a 45 degree angle? Forward Or Backwards Tavel?
Hi. You may want to move the hand back a little to avoid muting the strings. Too much pressure against the bridge can cause issues as well. Good seating position helps so check out my video on how to hold the electric guitar. Thanks for watching.
As loose as possible without dropping the pick. If the pick gives too much and sticks to the string you are either too loose or need to play near the tip of the pick. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve actually been trying to wean myself off resting my palm on bridge because when I tested it in a shop with a tuner it does seem to go out a bit and I don’t like having to worry I might push it out even slightly. Also the jazz master you can do the same thing though it seems to take more pressure on that model. Also I find the volume pot gets in the way of my pinky finger when resting palm on bridge on a Strat. I have a telecaster where the palm resting feels really nice on the six saddle bridge. I do feel more secure when resting on bridge though. Not sure if I’m actually more accurate but it gives me more confidence. Not sure whether to give up resting on bridge and pursue floating my hand with pinky resting on pick guard, or keep resting palm on bridge? Both have pros and cons it seems.
Try practicing both methods. Each have their own advantage. I find my beginner students respond well to the plant on electric. It gives them a pivot point for stability. Acoustic players get a better tone near the sound hole so floating the hand works better in that situation. Great players employ a variety of techniques. Thanks.
I try to use as light as needed to maintain stability in the arc. Too light and you might get hung on the strings. For you a heavy gage pick and a somewhat firm grip....if you feel strain in your wrist or elbow it could mean you are gripping too hard. Imagine flexing your entire body while running vs relaxing. Olympic sprinters are taught to relax every muscle possible for speed. Hope this helps.
As does the tremolo bar on a strat, which is why I try to avoid contact with it and move my hand away from the bridge towards the neck pickup and that's when I'm in trouble again. With a Les Paul and an ES-335 I don't have this issue.
1. Try lowering the position of the guitar if you feel it is resting to high on your body. 2. The angle of your forearm from corner to corner should be about 45 degrees. If you are in the 70 to 90 degree range it could cause your shoulder to shrug. 3. Check your neck angle to make sure it is angled like I have mine in the video. 4. You can achieve a greater neck angle by sitting Classical Guitar style using a footstool. Hope this helps.

How do you manage to avoid hitting the middle pickup with a pick?
Try adjusting the pick depth or playing just ahead of the pickup.
When I'm picking the high e my hand touches the volume knob what should i do?

Shouldn't be a problem if you keep the heel of your palm positioned about where the strings meet the bridge.
