A Weird Trick to Pick Twice as Fast: SWYBRYD PICKING for Electric Guitar
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- I stumbled upon this strange technique that I named SWYBRYD picking after many failed attempts at dovetailing sweeping with hybrid picking. If you aren’t satisfied with your top speed or just want to be able to play at a fast pace with little strain then swybryd is perfect you.
Check out my SWYBRYD Workshop livestream on my RUclips channel every Friday at 10-10:30 pm.

Interesting! I’m gonna be trying this out. Thanks Marshall.
its very effective.
Yo wassup uncle Ben! You should do a video on swybryd picking.
Ben Eller Uncle Ben approved? I'll look into this lesson asap
yeah, that's her business.
Oh snap it's my biological step dad
I was so sure that he was going to play something troll. Or have a shitty technique...
Me too, probably because of that guitar lol
xGOKOPx But that's a Jason Becker signature inspired model guitar.
Well, I didn't know that. Still looks silly tho
xGOKOPx That, i don't disagree actually haha. But just letting you know about the reason behind the guitar design.
I know this has been said before but HOW THE HECK is he not famous??? He can school vast majority of modern guitar personalities with both skills and knowledge! So cool!
Ty Traveling !
And In between is the 480hrs of practice
You missed a zero I think
Rumpled Foreskin @rumpled ...at least
More like 480000000000000
Its not that much tho
That’s not a lot of hrs tbh, the majority of guitarists who want to reach this skill practice 8 hours everyday
Sir, your right hand technique is out of this world, minimal movement and yet so clean and precise. Incredible
A real maestro..👍
Very interesting, I'll have a go at this. Thanks for sharing!
stroke of genius using the fretboard with numbers for yalls lesson.
jamesha175 but they should be upside down when you think about it.
no it's good this way for the viewer's benefit
jamesha175 its Jason Becker's signature. Originally by Carvin. Sic guitar duder..
Greg Rickard this is for the viewer
"NAWT HARDE TO MEMORYZEEE" how about shut up? Just that you think you're good at guitar and being a jerk to new players doesn't make you a good player. In fact, it makes you look ugly inside you heart, not to mention actual good guitarists never need to talk shit to prove they're good, only the shittiest ones needs to.
This video improved my playing a lot man,thanks again,at first it seamed weird but now it comes almost naturally,and the speed is insane,great!!
Thanks. Swybryd is the real deal!
Loving the Swybryd! That's gotta be the world speed record for "Spirit of Radio" haha
ill never understand why people downvote videos like this. I mean he's taking time to help people play better what kind of person takes time to dislike that?
Because I'm a bitter jealous asshole who can't please my wife.
It’s the frustration in the FACT that not ONE of us can even begin to do this. Prove me wrong. We all watch the very best players post these lessons but they are one in a billion people competing to sell lessons to all the rest of us who are never truthfully told only one in a billion have any possibility of ever doing this.
Probably cause some fool thinks it has "no feel"
those are lovers of EDM
@@airbloomamplifiers Self defeatist attitude dude. You gotta really practice to break through the sh**te barrier. I know cos I did make a breakthrough myself. Still gotta make music though with all the stuff.
Ever since i learned hybrid picking my guitar playing got so much more fluid. Amazing explanation of a technique all guitarists should use!!!
Dude, thank you. You're such a huge inspiration and a true virtuoso. Thank you for putting all this together and sharing it with all of us
Why is Marshall not more well known?? This guy is so unique and knowledgeable.
Well at least he's known for his amps
Alan Partridge “ There’s a conspiracy to deprive me of viewers!”
@Marshall Harrison - Guitarist absolutely agree with you!
Some greats will never be noticed by the world . Marshal Harrison is a devoted student and teacher, and I know who he is!
Because people influencers on RUclips won’t really promote the best they rather promote Nuno instead of real guitarist! Sad! He is one of the best!
This is a fantastic exercise to get into your swybryd picking technique. I just started with it today and I already made meaningful progress with it which is really, really satisfying.
Classical music has really brought about some great guitar innovation! Good stuff.
Holy shit, you are reaching Shawn Lane levels of speed, that's insane.
You are the guitar Gymnastics king no doubt.
I think I discovered Marshall in 2015 and I still think he's the fastest guitar player I've seen
Thank you ,I already applied this to my playing and its phenomenal and totally efortless!
Day 1 of practice...
Paul Price learning the guitar?
Yes!
Paul Price It gets easier through practice. remember perfect practice makes oerfect.. start off slow... its persicion not speed... and dont be scared to bust ass
Thanks for the tip mate!
practice really slow. remember. helps to get your hands to learn to move together.
Good Evening, Let me say a few things on your behalf.......I'm happy and glad that you made this video! I've seen some people make remarks of, it might take 480hrs of practice, or takes too long for techniques, but let me interject here.... I'm 57, started real lessons at the age of six, went thru 3 years of that, then many more years of different styles....Let me say that the method of guitar teaching back in the 1960's and early 70's was to keep you coming back and paying the teacher.........Folks, to become a very good guitar player (to some amazement) it does NOT take years and years. If you have simplified techniques such as what Mr. Harrison is showing here and use them each time you play, you will grasp this and more in a very short time... Now I'm not saying all of you will become a guitar legend, or that your spouse may not rip the guitar from your hands and give you the lump of Knowledge upon your shiny little noodle.....But I will say it will make playing much easier, much more fun, and just maybe, start you on a new technique or two.... try it for yourselves and see.... Well Done Mr Harrison, well Done Sir!
Thanks. It felt unusual when I tried it after doing it the PG method of an upstroke on the higher string, but I’m going to practice it until I get it down. It’s very useful.
sweet Jason Becker guitar dude
john redcorn agreed. a Jason Becker custom headless kiesel... now that's an axe
Actually the gayest fucking guitar ive ever seen in my life.
Actually the dumbest human being ive ever seen in my life.
dick smack disrespectful man. Are you a guitar player???? No real guitar player would ever even think about the stupid shit you said.
john redcorn i stand by my opinion. Yes i play, 25 years. Ive always loathed headless guitars and the big goofy inlays and crayola looking pickups on this guitar make it look even worse. On the flip side my 9 year old daughter loves this guitar and she things my flying V looks goofy. To each their own.
See what you did there.
Very clever.
That's so sick! I'll try learning it, it's gonna take about 7 years but oh well
Thanks for this, I’ve been looking for this example from your book. This helps tremendously. Also the rush lick cracked me up it was so fast
Check out Marshall's interview (ruclips.net/video/imrHGD6f6V0/видео.html) where he talks about his influences, his musical background, and demonstrates how to do Swybryd picking!!
Glad to see your making videos again man!
Damn! This is what I've been looking for! Thank you so much Marshall!
The MIGHTY Marshall Harrison cutting strict! You sir, kick ass, and I salute your prowess on guitar!
That is not Spirit of the radio
Love that Jason Becker looking Kiesel, good lesson.
Yeah I agree, all the time you have to think "how can I buy me some time to allow me to change string/position". I do this as a also play bass and I play with the pick and fingers. Add in the mix slurring up and down a semi tone (note enclosure) using open notes as an alternative to the fingered ones. Things get a bit sporty. Great technique
Hey,many thanks for this tip Marshall!! amazing
Nice 👍 I suck at hybrid, I will try it on just the E & B string for now, go from there, I do know that Paul Gilbert exercise, met him he signed my Fender, Met Yngwie in 1986, whilst flipping burgers 🍔 in Woodland Hills California 😁
how long did you practice this fancy picking technique before you came into perfection?
no long, but he had to apologize to Perfection and wipe it out.
Killer stuff, Marshall. Thanks for sharing with the community. You are a true asset.
😳 Greased lightning! 🎸🔥
I like how you infer that the term for it is your own, and hasn't been in existence for years.
*btw* , just to clear stuff up:
The guy started doing this back in '02, and called it (Swybrid)
Tosin's style is a bit different, and more harp-like.
They both use *the same name* for *slightly different* things.
The two styles likely convergently evolved, there's no stealing. The intended effects are completely different.
5tryx in a way its the same technique, used in different ways which its quite cool...
Marshall is about 100x better than Tosin as well, no disrespect to Mr. abasi who is far better than me lol
@@CammedFox Lol are you high? Marshall is great but Abasi is a God. Also these are the same techniques lol
We use SWYBRYD differently...study the details very closely
Navarone Hartman abasi is sloppy as fuck and no near as virtuoso as marshall BUT tosin is way more interesting as a composer
That was awesome! Thanks!!!
musicians hate him!
Why?
Its a meme. Kind of like those inter ads that say "get abs in just 1 week, trainers hate him!"
I remember seeing that ad. I tried this lick and failed. I'm so old school. I can't do economy picking. Goes against my religion. HEHE
:)
I just subbed to your Channel. I'm definitely going to practice this technique. I absolutely love it. I just started a RUclips Channel. I started playing guitar again and love Paul Gilbert. I have a small Recording/Practice Studio. Keep up all the great work.
That IS pretty sick. Nicely done.
Amazing 👏 👏
Everyone watching….like and subscribe.
Wow, thank you!
Somehow I managed to use some technique like that, but I never could get it into a transferable concept.
Hella awesome & useful, man! Thanks for sharing, you're great, keep the thing going!!
Great technic and well explained. Thanks for sharing dude.
Marshall Harrison, the Nicola Tesla of guitar !
I wonder who will steal all his ideas and claim them as his own
I was JUST filming a video about Animals as Leaders stealing ideas lol
I say Marshall was the first developing this technique to perfection (bye bye Tosin) and coining the term Swybryd picking.
Kinda more like a Tom Cook.
Rudy Ayoub stealing his ideas... RIGHT
Nice one Marshall. Wow that is fast!
I too have discovered this technique but with a thumb pick.

Marshall Harrison - Guitarist
Do any lessons include a transcribed Paganini's 5th Caprice?
I thought "he really didn't actually buy that domain name did he?" Heck yeah. OK I'll be looking at this for sure.
that is not a regular guitar
Kelly Mcgrath - it's a Keisel. This one is headless and from the Vader series.
Kelly Mcgrath
Jason Becker
Awsome! Great job
It's a great technique. Thanks.
Love that Colorforms Stratocaster.
There is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that the trick work. That been said, I would love to hear the same with a clean, straight-to-the-amp sound, because with THAT amount of effects, especially compressor and noise gate, and a picking THAT light , It seems to me that would sound almost the same with just legatto.
Be honest guitar players: How many of you find this thoroughly and stupefyingly IMPOSSIBLE? The never ever admitted truth is people that can do this etc are EXTREMELY RARE. But you can’t sell lessons admitting that. I challenge ONE of you to prove you can do this. Just ONE!
I never said it was easy but honestly The challenge is the fun part. I’m no Shawn Lane dexterity wise; I wasn’t asked to tour with Black Oak Arkansas at 13… This technique can propel “joe anybody” to dizzying heights I know this cause I’m living proof.
@@RozarSmacco I appreciate what you do and agree the point is to work at getting better.
I really wish we could all know how rare or common it is for the average viewer to master these techniques.
My belief is that it is extremely rare. The good news is that Wes Montgomery could never begin to execute any modern techniques and no one would want him too.
So for me, I can study Wes and not be so thoroughly discouraged. If I could do what you do Marshall, of course I would.
I do not believe “Joe anybody” can do what you do but it’s very important that “Joe Anybody” be encouraged to try. Sometimes players that work hard enough make life changing breakthroughs, more often they discover a genetic limitation that gets them to a ceiling beyond which they never reach. That player (like me) is better off fingering and picking in the most natural way to them that sounds and feels most musical. If I am struggling with picking or forcing myself to try to play faster than I can, it sounds like shit and is discouraging. I know - practice at a tempo where you can execute perfectly only and build it up.
You just earned a subscriber
Is that a Jason Becker variation of a headless guitar? Didn’t even know they made these.
Holy shit. That’s fantastic.
yo man great video. interesting technique, I'm definitely going to try it
I love your guitar neck, its gotta be really helpfull both learning & teaching songs. Great video& keep up the good work.
This...reminds me to Shawn Lane...😁
Thats cool man, thanks for sharing
That's amazing! ~ I always thought I was some kind of weirdo for doing it in the 70's and 80's who couldn't play as good the normal way. I had to cheat by doing various "Swybrids". You explained and demonstrated what is now, not only acceptable, but smart! Time to include guitar in my life again!
70s and 80s? Wow when did you start KJ? What are some of your favorite tasty/speedy SWYBRYD type licks? Can you make a YT vid or send a pdf to marsh1 at live.Com? Please ty
@@RozarSmacco I'd be happy to in the very near future, Marshall! And to be clear, you have totally aced the subject... I consider myself a beginner who has a second chance to play. My style is actually an incorporation of all four types, SwyBrydTapGotto lol. Same principle on all of them though. Much thanks to you for inspiring me with your phenomenal playing, and brilliant approach!
Cool! Once I learn how to sweep pick, I’ll try incorporating this into my playing.
Cheers!
you are the new swybryd genius style 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🤘🎸
Thanks for sharing to us. Geniously
what did you do???!!!! with the jason becker guitar model.......... you are a criminal !!!
This Kiesel is crushing man!
Zakk Wylde and many others use a similar technique called "Chicken Pickin". Popular in country music.
With all due respect. The technique described here is not just “Chicken picking”. This COMBINES Sweeping WITH hybrid picking to achieve greater speeds not attainable with either one individually.
I know this is old, but I just ran across it. I was surprised to find that the most difficult aspect of this for me seems to be doing an upstroke on the B string following by the pluck on the E. For me it just feels so much more natural to do a downstroke before a pluck because I've always done it that way, but that simply won't work here.
Funny how little things like that can really trip you up.
That’s quite clever
Sick damn bruh im gonna learn this for sure
You are awesome Marshall!
I'll try it when I'm in front my guitar. Concept seems simple enough.
Thanks for the contributions!!! That was refreshing, as I have seen Holdsworth use Hybrid picking at times in his lines especially when string skipping.
That's pretty sick
I’m sorry but that guitar wut?
Marshall Harrison and Roy Marchbank might be the two guitar shred masters I love most today.
I don’t know how to feel about Roy. I find his playing too unbelievable. Check out his first solo in this video ruclips.net/video/jbWDtEtoQUs/видео.html . It just sounds so completely fake and I’m not saying it is but it just sounds completely midi programmed. So many of his things are literally just not how genuine guitars sound. Does he purposely try and aim to get a fake midi sounding tone?
@@alexjackson8841roy is the goat
So cool. Thought it would be the basic Gatton sywybryd arpeggio would be sweep or downstroke ,index ,middle ,ring finger and sweep only as it descends

(drop the ".com")
I've learned a lot from you, Marshall - thanks!
ACTUALLY really fucking cool and useful. I'm definitely going to sussthis out in detail in the morn
The numbers on the frets are helping for people watching and learning. Good videos man
Fascinating, a picking trick that requires fretting dexterity. Wait... a... second! Isn't that called playing guitar?
I’m hooked.
Thanks Marshall, I am practicing hybrid picking and came on this video. I am going to start trying this as it makes a lot of sense and you make it sound incredible. Thank you so much for any knowledge and experience you can pass on.
Awesome! That guitar is beautiful. I must have one. What is it?
...Masrshall Harrison? Why do I know that name from like 20 yrs ago? Did you used to publish lessons?
Thanks it’s a Kiesel Jason Becker headless
Very cool, I'm a looking forward to trying this out (still at work, so no guitar in front of me LOL). I'm just wondering if it will be comfortable with the right hand/arm while playing standing up, as opposed to sitting where the guitar tends to be up high (like a jazz dude would) and easier to play in general. I might be over thinking it :)
This guy is amazing
Why thank you. Please tell Hoshino Inc. Ty
So fingerpick the 2nd note. Gotit!
Gotta sweep too!
I suck at alternate picking and now I can suck at a new technique, yay!!
Did you buy this Becker guitar specifically to make your fretting hand easier to follow in your lessons (sorry if you get this question a lot)?
New guitar hero. Exploit it while you can or someone beats you to the punch by recording it with a major label!!!
im pretty sure i saw the famous guitarist from baby metal Takayoshi Ohmura using this technique too ...
Congratulations, a guitarist learned a bass technique. Lose a few strings and your third eye will open as well.
I'm not sure I understand why
Marshall, where are the Paganini transcriptions? I don't see any mentioned in 4 items available on your site.
Insane
Is that the jason Becker Guitar? Nice lesson.
Shipwreck Hubbard yes that’s the Kiesel JB headless
Marshall Harrison - Guitarist thanks, i want one badly, hopefully i will get one some day.
