    Paul Gilbert discussing in one of his instructional videos that he likes to start alt picking phrases off with an upstroke, at least I believe that's what he said. Anyways, I found that starting certain phrases with an upstroke helped me play faster for whatever reason.

  • @Danuet
    @Danuet 11 лет назад +3

    He said it 48 times in 4:28. That's a 'you know' every 5.58 seconds!!!

  • @licklibrary
    @licklibrary  12 лет назад

    Not at all, some players (like Satriani or Garsed) pick as little as possible but its for the legato sound that it creates. Played like Zakk Wylde and Al Di Meola pick everything for that more aggressive percussive sound. Others like Paul Gilbert Try to get a nice balance

  • @ayard2120

  • @Barefoot67
    @Barefoot67 13 лет назад +1

    muscle memory and the importance of being super relaxed in both arms and hands even at fast speeds are the key things you must know to get good at this. It never gets mentioned almost which is a real shame.

  • @GordonHeaney
    @GordonHeaney 7 лет назад +1

    I think it's also about synchronization between the two hands. A slightly slower but accurately picked run to me is much more impressive than a faster but unclear or sloppy run.

  • @JobForAMaxboy
    @JobForAMaxboy 8 лет назад +1

    I recently had that penny drop moment. And his face summarised it perfectly. After years of frustration that I couldnt alternate pick scales properly, now I can, meh... Now I'm on to the next thing I cant do!

  • @6second2004gto
    @6second2004gto 13 лет назад

    @TotalRetardedness Without seeing your picking style I can't really say specifically what you may need to change, but I am also a lefty that plays right handed. I will say from my experience playing right handed when I'm actually left handed that legato or slurred licks came easy to me, but my alternate picking is also a weakness of mine. I've found that there is no secret to success just use proven exercises for alternate picking, stay relaxed, and put the time in practicing.

  • @bigdumbdumbfly
    @bigdumbdumbfly 8 лет назад +4

    Master of alternate picking...... Micha.
    Paul gilbert? Whos that?
    Haha jk (MAB is by far the king of alt pic but i love paul gilberts music better)

    • @kps2642
      @kps2642 8 лет назад +2

      don't get me wrong m.a.b is sheer master of techniques but i like paul more too because he just got those feels and rhythm, and he plays killer jazz

  • @tastytasters
    @tastytasters 13 лет назад

    @intii93 judging from your post, you have the patience and discipline to get things done. Just make sure your wrist is relaxed (firm but relaxed. squeezing the pick for high attack and small movement is different from flexing your whole arm). It's just going to take a great deal longer than 1 1/2 years. time is on your side, take advantage of it and you'll be shredding like it's cloud 9 in no time.

  • @brshreds
    @brshreds 13 лет назад

    @shreddernuo Haha no problem. And most music stores, at least ones that cater to guitarists, have them. I got mine at the local shop. If there's a Guitar Center near you, I know they have them, but pretty much anywhere that sells guitar accessories. If you don't have any luck there, it's really easy to find them online. Just Google "guitar footstool." And most are adjustable, so if you're really short or tall, or just sitting in a different-sized chair, you should be okay. Hope that helps!

  • @brshreds
    @brshreds 13 лет назад

    @shreddernuo Yeah, I'm the same way about that, and it's called the classical position (since that's how classical guitarists are taught to hold it. Go figure. :P). I started off playing on my right knee, but I signed up for a classical guitar class, and when I started doing it the other way (combined with a footstool), it was so much easier reaching all of the notes, and I didn't have to strain myself near as much to play! So I definitely recommend trying it, along with the foot rest.

  • @kazvermeer
    @kazvermeer 13 лет назад

    @dc08bfmv Start slow man ;) when youre'starting to feel you're straining the arm, you're going to fast ;) Try a real simple lick, like the first one Andy showed here, and start playing it at 100 bpm triplets, or even slower, so that you play it perfectly without any effort! Then go up 3 bpm every thime untill it's perfect and without straing again, and move up that way!

  • @ConklinTa
    @ConklinTa 13 лет назад

    @plaidzincs It just isn't a phrase that's really used over here. We speak the same language over here, but you could almost say we have different dialects. We each have different phrases, means of expression, even some words mean different things. I had never heard it before either, however because of the context it wasn't too hard to pick up

  • @rkisf90
    @rkisf90 14 лет назад

    @leopower7 You will find your own way of doing it tbh. 45 degree angle is just like a example. I wouldn't follow this word for word but you will get what angle is comfortable to you when you practise it more. It is just one of them things that you can't do one day but practise and you will know it the next.

  • @ABHISHEKSHARMA1993
    @ABHISHEKSHARMA1993 12 лет назад

    at 1:02 its 11 12 14 on d string and the 11 on g (UPSTROKE!) then come back down again exactly reverse
    remember strictly use alternate picking up and down
    afterwards he moves 2 frets down and does the same then down step again then return to normal position and go 2 step up twice
    hope that helps

  • @JayFraser0987
    @JayFraser0987 12 лет назад

    @stevegrierson LTD's are serious instruments. Some of the are far superior to guitars two or three times the price, so if he happens to have found one he likes and that he thinks is really good for him, then the ideal that the more expensive/handmade guitar must immediately better can be lost.

  • @TahaNasser
    @TahaNasser 13 лет назад

    @karnivorus dude fucking same. I've been trying to pick fast for years and hearing the 45 degrees thing (even though I kind of already knew it) has made a huge difference. Since yesterday. Ridiculous that such a small thing can make such a huge difference. Wish I had seen this vid years ago!

  • @SuperSossossos
    @SuperSossossos 11 лет назад

    Isn't it better to put the metronome down to a comfortable speed and just improvise some alternate picking licks and gradually increase the tempo? I mean there are so many patterns I wanna work on, that I can't just do an exercise on all of them.

  • @rhoads1982
    @rhoads1982 11 лет назад

    Dear Lick Library, this may seem like a retarded question but what kind of hair bands dose Andy use? No not taking the piss, i mean for the guitar ;-)
    All the ones i've tried dont seem to do the trick.
    If you could reply, ta muchly.

  • @Zakksback17
    @Zakksback17 11 лет назад

    I don't mean to offend you or anything, but that's the biggest bullshit. Michael Angelo uses both perfectly. The thing is people tend to not want to learn both for some reason. Oh Guthrie uses both as well, in fact lots of other players do.

  • @AntonioAdame1
    @AntonioAdame1 12 лет назад

    is the speed then reliant on alternate picking and not just on the speed of the left hand pulling off and hammering on? i might be wrong, but i thought most guitarist picked as little as they could and moved really fast with their left hands

  • @codebabe
    @codebabe 13 лет назад

    @SatyrX09 there are a lot of versatile guitarists. Nuno Bettencourt, Jimmy Page, Alex Lifeson, Steve Howe, Rick Emmett, Steve Hackett, John Frusciante, Paul Gilbert etc. Not comparing their chops, but all these guys are very versatile.

  • @Kuniyurei
    @Kuniyurei 13 лет назад

    @xXokcoolXx Yeah, I can only think of one person who has a versatile guitar playing and that's Corey Beaulieu, he's in a metalcore band but really outstanding player... lol I actually mentioned ZackyV because he says "You Know" much much more...

  • @sepiarain
    @sepiarain 12 лет назад

    The little new nugget I got from this is to try and think about accents, something we all do automatically, but probably a major part of why sometimes my playing feels liquid and sometimes I have potato hands.

  • @jessbpowers
    @jessbpowers 12 лет назад

    @koenie201 depends on how much you work on it, it could take a week, it could take a month
    but if you take it slow and gradually build up good technique and dont do it sloppy all of a sudden ull be andy james!

  • @pipecfh
    @pipecfh 12 лет назад

    @SHPrada so purchase their stuff, there's the actual playing lesson. Otherwise, you can listen and understand what he is saying and put it on practice, not everything has to be demosntrated note by note, that's just lazy.

  • @Zakksback17
    @Zakksback17 11 лет назад

    No, he's not Australian. He's is 100% British. Unless he was just born in Australia but moved at a young age to England or something. That's an English accent and he doesn't sound Australian at all.

  • @wangzingee
    @wangzingee 14 лет назад

    @littlealien123 He uses Dunlop Big Stubby picks. But it really doesnt matter. Get a Pick that you feel comfortable with. You can never go wrong with a jazz lll. MAB has been using jazz lll picks for years.

    @SatyrX09 Yup! I've heard of him. Although it's rare I listen to A7X, or much metalcore, since it's not my cup of tea. But there sure are some outstanding players in the genre! =)

  • @diamonddust22

    @Shyuum I'm not trolling; I don't mean to put down Andy; he's got some solid advice and chops. Its just plain ignorant to say Paul is "THE" master of alternate picking.

  • @ubustang
    @ubustang 14 лет назад

    Shawn Lane is probably the best alternate picker ever, if not maybe John McLaughlin. Paul Gilbert is crazy good, but he's definitely not the fastest or most accurate.
