    This guy has dedicated himself to find out the best picking style. Sleeping with picks, eating with picks, cutting his bread with Jazz 3.

    The extreme concentration RUclips teachers give on picking can be misleading. Both hands need to play in unison. That comes with fanatical practice from a young age. Eddie, yngwie, holdsworth etc would shrug and say - 'I just do it like that'- no accelerated magic technique ( and they all hold the pick and pick uniquely. One thing for sure is if your fretting hand isnt fast and accurate you might at best sound a bit shreddy

    There is so much emphasis on theory when it comes to playing guitar. It can be difficult to find good information on technique. Great video. Keep em' comin'.

    You and Ben Eller are among the very few online guitar teachers I respect. Straight forward, no nonsense, free of bullshit, clear, intelligible videos and explanations... THANKS A MILLION!!

    This is the exact kind of lessons I have been hoping to find. Ultra specific instructions down to the most nuanced detail. So many people glaze over small details. Thank you.

    This video drastically improved my picking speed and overall playing in just an hour or so. Thank you so much!

    You are a genius, Troy! Truly. Thank you for all of your hard work, AND sharing!!

  • @TheFlenen

    I grew up learning to play in the 90s and the early 2000s, quit playing about 6 years ago. Unexpectedly got a guitar for xmas, and my god! I wish people like you were around when i was a kid! Utterly amazing

    My playing improved drastically after comprehending pick slanting. I think Grady was the first to dissect this technique and then coin the term to facilitate the communication process. I'm a much better guitarist because of it.

    BTW, love the quick close up cuts of the masters executing these techniques! I'm sure that took a lot of work and I definitely appreciate it! The theory of Show v Tell is great, but when you take the time and make the effort to Show AND Tell, it covers all the bases and leaves no room for misinterpretation. Well done!!!

    The best video I’ve found for high speed picking. The close up shots are gold! I’ve maybe watched Troy’s playing 100 times. Having a visual cue for the “standard” helps me fine tune while practicing.

    Sometimes it can be hard as a self taught to find gems on technique and critique yourself to what feels fluid without a teacher there to tell you what the problem is. Thank you for these close up instructional videos. Has been a game changer for me and sparked my inspiration to play even more with a new goal in mind

    Troy, I have been watching your stuff since I noticed it online about 4 or 5 years ago. As a fellow guitarist, I am so grateful that you have taken the time to create all of these wonderful videos. You have pushed the boundary of guitar technique to it's highest level. You are a master of guitar and you should have a doctorate in guitar - instrumental performance. I too grew up learning to play on my own in the 1960's. I do remember the agonizing process of slowing down an album from 33 and a third rpm to 16 rpms on old record players and trying to retune the guitar very slightly and then trying to hear the note and what string and fret it was played on while listening to the solo an octave below where it was supposed to be. What a nightmare doing that was back then. I slowly got better and better and learned a lot from it. It is a really great way to train your ears. By 1975, having been out of high school for 3 years already, I was playing with different bands in the NY area and even in Florida, where I live now. I had gotten good enough to play Hendrix, Zappa, Santana, Larry Carlton, etc, etc. I had written about 10 to 15 songs by then and was even trying to arrange horns for my originals in my hometown band that summer. But I still couldn't sight read guitar music. I had learned to read music in elementary school and in summer music courses at White Plains County Center. I had learned piano, french horn, mellophone, marimba, and acoustic guitar, as well as sight singing/ear training. But that was way back in the early 1960's. And then, in late December 1963 or early January 1964, I heard The Beatles. What a joy after that dreadful hell of November and December 1963 when all anybody was talking about was JFK's assassination. I remember that the 1st album I ever bought was "Meet the Beatles". I wanted to play the guitar more than ever. I wanted an electric guitar. I learned guitar quickly but painfully. As guitarists got better and better, so did I. I started writing my own music. I played with band after band, mostly put together by me. I went to Woodstock. I went to the Filmore East and every place in NYC I could see live music. I studied all the great guitarists of the late 1960's and early 1970's. By 1971 I had a black 1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom, a white 1971 Fender Strat, an original 50 watt Marshall and Cabinet, and a Wurlitzer Electric Piano with a Fender Pro Reverb powering a Fender Bassman cabinet. But I still wasn't satisfied. I knew some music theory, I had learned some very early on, but then learned nothing more except what I taught myself. By 1975, I was a very good guitarist technically as well as a good soloist with my own original sound. But I still wasn't satisfied. My theory couldn't keep up with my ideas, so in Sept 1975, I went to Berklee College of Music. I learned so much in those years that I still haven't used all of it. Anyway, I still enjoy learning, I've never stopped and probably never will.
