      I think you might be right. I read somewhere that strings suffer from a fear of being picked on.
      Apparently, it can lead to those who are more highly strung becoming so tightly wound that they fret constantly.

      You'd be surprised at how comfortable it actually is. Make a relaxed fist and bang it on the table. Then roll it forward so it's resting on your pinky and ring fingers.
      Tada! That's it. Then you can use a combination of gentle wrist rolls and extending/retracting your thumb+index finger to pick. It kinda feels like you're letting your fingers squish and unsquish into the table. This style has a number of benefits:
      1. Easy rest strokes. When downpicking the pick will naturally come to rest on the next string, which is great for sweeps.
      2. It's much easier to overcome friction between the pick and the string because the pick isn't hitting the string straight-on - instead it kind of slips over it. Depending on how you use your fingers it may also move slightly towards the headstock while still in contact with the string, which helps overcome the static coefficient of friction in preparation to start a note.
      3. Good leverage. This position makes it easy to apply a lot of force to the pick through a wide range of picking speeds, enabling you to stay relaxed and tension free.
      All of these factors taken together make it much easier to execute smooth downward sweeps, which are crucial to Marty's style.

    That is just a superb professorial exposition on why high-gain amps do what they do in terms of compression and noise control.

    • @JasonMauer
      @JasonMauer 4 года назад +2

      Except that's not how compression works at all. Compression reduces dynamic range, making quiet parts relatively louder and loud parts relatively quieter. Here it is described as lowering the noise floor (i.e. making quiet parts quieter) when the opposite happens in reality. (And if the amp were to behave this way, wouldn't that be the case regardless of playing technique?)

    • @Havanacuba1985
      @Havanacuba1985 4 года назад +1

      Jason Mauer yes as far as I’ve always experienced compression as well as taming louder parts also brings up quieter parts wanted or not like noise

    • @troygrady
      @troygrady 4 года назад +5

      When two sounds occur simultaneously, as in strings ringing in the background during continuous playing, the compression definitely causes the noise to go down in level. The compressor can't separate the louder note you're playing from the noise in the background. It can only turn the level of the entire signal down. The loud notes go over the threshold, the level goes down. And the noise goes down with it. This is pretty easy to test and you can do with any high-gain amp. For sure, when you stop playing, the compressor stops compressing, and the noise level comes back up. So you do have a reduction of dynamic range in the sense of the difference between loud and soft parts of your playing. The same would be true for sustained notes which slowly die off, which we also talk about in the lesson. Hence the need for a barre or other approaches at that point.

    • @JasonMauer
      @JasonMauer 4 года назад +2

      @@troygrady Yes, but how is that unique to this picking technique? It has been presented here as if it's something specific to this particular picking style when it's not. Maybe playing this way is cleaner (producing less noise, errant string hits, sympathetic ringing, etc), but that wouldn't be due to amp compression.

    • @troygrady
      @troygrady 4 года назад +6

      Not sure what the objection is here. How flexed players avoid noise is a legit question that lots of people have, and we’re answering it here. It’s several pieces and they need to be coordinated just so to get the best results. I think I’ve covered those pieces but there’s always room for improvement. You can split semantic hairs and say it’s not the picking per se, but we’re just trying to help people.

    My thoughts: Looks like it is your fretting fingers as they pull off they are deadening the notes. I'm sure there's some subtle timing where the pick hits the string, you get resonance and as you lift up your fretting finger the string gets damped. Since you are moving your fretting fingers a lot you are causing a lot of damping. Do it with an open neck (no fretting) and I bet you will hear lot's of ringing. Try it with a capo too (no fret finger work). Would be interested to hear/see if that is the case.

    as one of the Gainy Persuasion. allow me to use that for the rest of my life. I have never really thought about how i mute the strings for me i use a combination of my palm and my fingers and thumb as i play.doing it for so long it just becomes second nature. really interesting thought tho for sure.

    plus I'll use 2 fingers to try and mute certain strings)l like dropped tunings for fast galloping and when you do a set of 5 then 3 then 1 (like in 'This Calling' from All That Remains) so I can mute anywhere and be ready for harmonics, or whatever... like you are playing a 2 finger power chord, except its just on one string your low E, D, B, etc. depending on tunings, number of strings, etc. this channel is GENIUS.. helps the things I am also aleady working on take shape..
    Love it!!!!

    I don't see many folks talking about the gain & noise floor stuff, with gain and drive a lot of what the masters use (for good and evil) comes from the accidental (but skillful) control of the physics of vibrating strings. This video really makes me think...

    i recently changed my picking style to essentially this because i found it SO much easier to play fast and clean. I used to use an open palm style of picking and i feel like that offered less control over the attack of the pick and i would find the pick slipping when i tried playing extra fast. I wish i had found this video 15 years ago when i started lol

    Mab's style on one of troys videos is the single biggest factor in how I learned after over thirty years to downward pick slant. Only difference is that a planted my pinky with nothing else touching at all. Another thing at 3:13 Troy asks him if ascending was easier or more difficult. A few months back I asked Troy the exact same question... 😀
