- Are you a DSX player? Do you like music from the era of high-gain amps and higher-gain hairstyles? If so, the new Metronomic Rock series is for you! In our first installment, Tommaso "Tommo" Tufarelli on the Cracking the Code team pulls back the curtain on one of the most popular high-speed picking styles of all time: DSX motion. The course includes 39 lesson chapters, two complete demo songs with backing tracks, and over 150 musical examples. Check it out here: troygrady.com/s...

Bro,, I've naturally had DSX for years thinking I'm doing it wrong and trying SO FNG hard to reverse it to feeling natural both ways.
Thanx to you Troy and your AMAZING videos,, I'm slowly but surely getting there..

Whoa it’s Tommo! Hands down the most communicative and one of the most helpful people in the Troy Grady Forum, and awesome player! Thanks for always replying to my questions there!
Tommo is the best! He doesn't have an unhelpful bone in his body.
@@troygrady Haha, well said Troy! And thanks to you too. I had given up on guitar after I hit a roadblock. Then I found your videos, and your teachings have totally transformed my playing. I’ve fallen back in love with playing over these past 5 years.
Thank you for the kind words 🙂
Beautiful work from Tommo! This is fantastic addition to the curriculum!
Thank you!
This is pretty much the only thing I can do on guitar. If only I could downstroke escape my responsibilities... sick playing btw.
Ha!
This is amazing! We need the USX version of this!
Working on it!!
i make my way through all the course material, improve my playing drastically, then you drop a whole series on one of my favourite genres? well played, my subscription stays
Great news! We'll soon start working on the next episode, so let us know if you have any feedback :)
Yeah, Tommaso! I look forward to diving in. Cheers, Daniel
Looking forward to seeing you there :-)
Holy heck - when I clicked on the email link I didn't realize this would cater to my actual preferred picking angle. I didn't know it was called DSX. I love cracking the code and Troy's videos. I think I might be on board.
The most common joint motions used in picking technique, like elbow motion and various wrist motions, all generate DSX pathways. They pick may or may not appear slanted - that depends on lots of factors. But you're in good company since these motions account for a huge contingent of players on just about every picked instrument around, from guitar to mandolin and even bass guitar - Chris Squire, for example.
@@troygrady Thanks, Troy. I remember watching some speedy mandolin player on your channel in the past and it was definitely DSX. Also, Tommo could not be more charming.
Well done, Tommaso! Great playing and demonstration. Sounds great! 😊
Thank you! You ain't too bad yourself 😀
@@TommoGuitar Thanks, Tommo!
I bought this course over the weekend and there is a LOT to it. Tommo has gone the extra mile.
Awesome to have you on board!
Duuuuuuude, that is fast! Serious shredding! Can't wait to do the course!
Thanks Daniel 🙂

What is that insane pickup in that mustang
I believe it's a Zexcoil without the cover!
Oh I wanted to be the first one to comment. Damnit Damnit Damnit!!! I've been making my way through this for the past couple days. GREAT work Tommo (and of course Troy too). It's a really cool seminar and the tasty licks seem like they never end.
Awesome! Would love to see you play some of these riffs at lightspeed with your killer DSX motion :)
@@TommoGuitar challenge accepted! (now time to go work on this killer DSX motion I apparently have lol)
Sweet I can't wait to get into it and see how I can do!
Awesome, thank you!

En Argentina amamos a Troy!! Jajaja.
ahhhh i avoided this course until now, in part because I always thought I had USX (or that USX was "better"), in part bc I wanted to sound like EJ so I put my head in the sand about how i actually picked. starting to realize that I think I have natural DSX (and have no idea how to take advantage of it, bc i've been so EJ-pilled), anddddd then I find out the music in this course slaps?? fuck yes.
Glad to hear! Let us know how it goes :)
How do you go about tackling faster even stroke type riffs like Bark at the Moon or Holy wars with this motion?
(Great vid btw)
if you have a lick that has exactly an even number of notes per string, you can play it with DSX motion by starting on an upstroke (and / or using strategic hammer-ons and pull-offs wherever appropriate)
Finally! Someone picks correctly.
I know right! 😀
@@TommoGuitarI genuinely believe, mechanics wise for the human hand, it's a generally superior technique. ,

And don't forget practice practice practice 😋
For sure! But "practice" is too vague a word, and it can send good-intentioned people in all sorts of directions (not all of them productive). What we are trying to do is to guide that "desire to practice" towards things that give results.
Where can I buy the guitar magnet and how many bucks is it $$$.
Wouldn't you be able to play the exact same thing with UWPS by just starting in a different stroke?
Yep most things can be converted from one picking style to another by starting on a different pickstroke, including hammer-ons and pull-offs, fretting the same note on a different string etc. :)
Yes.

Hey troy I have a question for you hope you'll see my comment. I'm a DSX player and I recognized that I use an elbow motion how common is that? I'm playing very fast with this combination between the motion and the pick travel and it feels solid too
How does he just move his wrist like that? The arm stays perfectly still! My arm always rotates, even slightly.
He's anchoring his arm steady.
Amazingly, when you see players making one type of joint motion versus another, it's very often the case that they simply don't know how to do other motions Wrist-only motions, and wrist plus forearm motions are the most common motions we see in our teaching when we're working with players who come to us for consultations. Just as one example, I'm very good at forearm technique with my right hand - that's the rotational motion you mention. However if I try to pick left handed, I can only do wrist. It's like the forearm is dead. I simply haven't learned how to perform forearm rotation with the left hand, and that's why it doesn't move. TLDR these tendencies are all based on prior learning.
I think there is a bit of elbow involvement in my technique, especially at the faster speeds. Absolutely not a problem if it gives good results (and, importantly, if it's comfortable!).
Does this course give any instructions / tips about building up the speed?
If you have trouble moving your picking hand fast, that's not usually a thing you can fix by "building up" speed. In our teaching, we get everyone to have fast motion immediately. The thing you can build up over time is smoothness, accuracy, and so on. SO... if the ability to pick fast is a problem, you want our other instructional product, the Primer ( troygrady.com/primer/ ). If you already have a solid tremolo motion but you want to learn to play phrases with it, that's more this course. The only other thing I'll point out, which is also covered in the Primer, is that you want to try to determine which "escape" your picking motion has. This will tell you which kinds of phrases you can actually play with it. Here's a free explainer on the subject ( troygrady.com/primer/reference/escape-motion-reference/ ). Determining your escape is also covered in the Primer, so again if any of this basic motion stuff is an issue, the Primer is the place to look.
@@troygrady Thanks Troy!
👀
What scales are used?
These picking strategies can be used on any scales --- or at least the most common ones (Pentatonics, Major scales, Harmonic / Melodic Minor scales and all their modes)
@TommoGuitar That's cool thanks.
Get Brandon Ellis back!!!
Did they ever release the Brandon Ellis lesson? I kept checking for months and nothing.
@@PixelThief69 don't think so
@@damonstewart70 What's up with that?
