  • Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
  • Hello Music lovers! Welcome to my new series "The Woodshed"! In episode 1 I breakdown the guitar lick I used on Angel Vivaldi's Australian brush fire fundraiser charity stream. During the stream Angel asked me to teach a picking approach to help improve alternate picking. This focuses on inside/outside picking in odd note groupings and how to improve control and accuracy as you travel through the strings. This type of odd note grouped pentatonics can be heard in all kinds of modern players. I hope you enjoy the first episode, make sure to leave your feedback. Most importantly, let me know in the comments what topics you want me to cover in future episodes. For more of my content jump over to iTunes, Spotify or wherever you get your music and scope out my albums.
    Cheers!

      Hey Andy,maybe this could be a topic of discussion unless you already covered it. How high to wear your guitar to still play as effective as you do sitting down. Keep up the great work!

      And I totally disagree. Unless you practice something at or beyond the desired speed, the precision and control by themselves will never get you there.

    I’d love to see something about mixing major and minor pentatonics and melodic minor scales in fast runs, especially higher up the neck. This seems to be something you have in common with Steve Lukather, but I struggle to figure out how to construct those runs myself.

    Dude, I’d love to see a breakdown of your ‘chicken pickin’ technique. I’ve never been able to accomplish this the way you do it. Maybe demonstrate common chord structures and the way they are picked out. I’ve always been fascinated by your shredding chicken pickin’ on electric guitar.

    fretting hand: I got this.
    picking hand: WTF?
    Great lesson! Maybe one day (you may have done this already) talk about how you skip strings when picking in opposite directions. 2 notes per string or 4 per string = easy alt picking. 3 notes... you can't get that so.. my dang wrist doesn't want to bounce like yours. Too many decades of playing easy rock songs I guess. thx!

    I know there’s a ton of theory lessons on RUclips but the way you talk really clicks with me. I’ve been playing ten years but really don’t understand much about how chords work with one another and concepts like that. Would love to see some of that in the lessons too

    First of all, thank you. Great players sharing knowledge perpetuates real music makers and builds confidence in all players. Don't underestimate the value of what this does for people. Again, thank you. And Ben, for showing you how to"internet". Ben is also awesome.
    This may seem vague, but perhaps accept it as a challenge, but my constant focus is becoming more melodic and lyrical in my solos. Outside of vibrato and legato, it boils down to note choice and phrasing. Id love to see methods you have used to help build those musical muscles, because noone has done it successfully yet.
    Cheers and best of everything to you and all of your viewers!

    Andy I’ve been studying really hard. Learned the caged system and a lot of theory, also can play pretty much any scale up and down the neck, but I’m having a really hard time using all this to just make music .. if there’s anything you could post to help put all this together in a melodic way I’d really appreciate it. Just found out about you a couple weeks ago and these lessons are fantastic. I can’t thank you enough 💯🎸👍💪
