      @iganpparamarta8813 5 лет назад +51

      Luis Noronha with distortion it’s actually harder to make it clean. Right hand muting must be very very good. And goodness are you doubting Rick Graham’s technique that he hides behind high gain distortion? If gain is too high it gets over saturated it makes fast lines blurred. In the video you can hear how well defined the notes are when he shreds it. I can’t believe I’m defending Rick Graham here. Usually the mighty RUclips commenter would say ‘fast & technical but no soul or taste or whatever’.

      In a harmonic-scale-context-thingy the first note is almost never the root though. An example (like Rick uses it here) would be first note major seventh, second note root, third note fifth. Not if aaaanyone would care, but just in case someone wonders and wants to use the same idea in his own stuff, haha.

    One of the important things that a lot of people don't know is to use a 1.33mm pick. It has no give when you pick a string. This sounds counter productive because it makes it harder for the pick to clear the string because of more resistance due to the thickness of the pick, but the way these pros counteract that is to use the downward pick slant.

      burt on the comment makes an excellent point. Be inspired and sponge any technique you see and make it your own, but that does take practice and not always with playing leads to songs which is super fun. but you have to just slowly go through things and then apply them. just sharing, hang in there!
