The amazing Joe Stump was one of the first players we interviewed years ago when Cracking the Code was still just an idea and a hobby. We caught up with him again in the new studio for a super enjoyable conversation on everything from metal harmony to right hand mechanics. Like most of the "naturals" we interview, Joe discovered his famously fluid economy technique intuitively, by innately sensing what was already working for him through his own process of exploration. The complete new Joe Stump interview is coming up soon for Cracking the Code subscribers.
I have done sound for over 30 years at various clubs in NY and Joe was one the best guitar players I have ever heard and one of the nicest guy I have ever met. And to top it off he was the only guitar played that has ever tipped me for doing a good job on his sound that night. Totally under rated. Thanks Joe !
Great to hear. He does seem like a super nice dude.
I can see he's a sraight guy, and what you see is what you get. I like this guy and his technique and style.
🤫(and better at yngwie than yngwie.Better technique and musically better)
Awesome
Anyone underrating Stump is out to lunch.
Joe is one of the lesser known/underrated shredders of all time. I love his albums.
He's such a good dude too!
Guitareo This dude is an amazing teacher i got to do Berklee Online for a bit and he was my private lessons teacher. His picking and technique are by far the best I have gotten to witness. I have seen many shows nd guitarist on stage directly but just to see the Shred Lord in person and be able to talk directly to him nd how he understand it all with all the types of ways to integrate classical style chord structure nd changes into neoclassical shred metal is just incredible. He taught me so much throughout the lessons. I was sloppy and he got me to the chop shop. When I bought his book i got to study and break down with him the material and i never used to economy pick that fast before i met him. I was a jazz player throughout HS and after applying his method to my own contemporary light jazz rock-fusion way that i like to play i was waking up everyday being able to learn new things with the guitar that in all of my HS years and years prior i had been in a playing stump where i was so stuck. Professor Joe Stump got me out of my guitar depression and I am thankful I had him or else I may have started to dimminish in my playing and eventually lose my happiness in guitar.
Another thing that I like about Joe is his humor and humbleness. He isn't afraid to poke fun at himself.
he sounds identical to malmsteen .stump does a little more of his own thing
What's that clamp looking thing on the neck ?
He says “You know” as often as Al Di Meola at least. Seriously though, if I could pick like that I’d never leave the house. I’d just sit in front of my amp and listen to how awesome I was all day. Joe is definitely one of the best.
Killer picking technique. I can see he has put maaany hours and years of study with a metronome on that, to get to that level.
@@johnnymoraes23 took lessons from him for a semester, never saw him make a single mistake. his picking is literally machine like, you could not finding the slightest flaw if you put it under a microscope
@@jefferychen8129 he's been playing the guitar for 42 years, lol... my age, lol. And playing neoclassical for at least, almost as much, lol. So, if i got lessons with him, specially knowing that he has put the many hours and years on it, i would expect him to be playing like that.
@@jefferychen8129 Wow, what a memory. I'd love to have this memory dude!
They're both from the Tri-State area, you know.
I’ve criticised him for his Yngwie tendencies - but screw that. He can play. He really is great.
Nothing wrong with having Yngwie as a heavy influence. He's a legend.
@@DeathBringer769 im a huge Yngwie's fan, but I don't think there's something wrong about being heavily influenced by Yngwie. I admire both Yngwie and Joe.
Joe is such an underrated player. He is just so damn clean.
Returnality yngwie clone
He's an absolute animal techniquewise. Not crazy about his music on his own, but MAN can he play.
David Fuller yeah but without yngwie , he wouldnt be who he is. Beige Strat, single coil , harmonic minor scale he got more then inspiration from yngwie he just sounds like him but worse
...That's what I said. He's a technical monster, but his writing chops are, uh, not great. HolyHell isn't too bad tho
Clone? How can he be a clone of the person who have stolen look, approach etc from players like Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schneker and RB? YJM riped off those players and then by luck he went to USA were all those neo classical europain monsters were unknown (Uli and Schenker ) so he sold their work as his if you like. Listen Uli and compare his arpeggios and lines with YJM = copy paste basically .
Me and other Berklee students would hang out in front of Joe's office during his one-on-one lessons so we could watch the master at work. If the door was closed we would still stay and just listen. He would also give advice and tips to students that weren't assigned to him. Thanks Joe!
I remember when I went to Berklee for a semester back in 2017 I was hanging outside his office for a bit listening to him play and me being a bit of a fan I started hanging around the hallway and he somehow saw me and walked out of his office and asked if I had a lesson with him to the point where I said no I am just a big fan of your work and he actually invited me for 15 minutes to talk to him about his music and work! Very nice humble Guy!
Hes an douch. I went tp Berklee twice for the summer camps. We had 1 group session with him that summer which he showed up eating an apple 10 minutes late. He sits down apologetic and continues to eat his apple for like 2 minutes. The class was only 1 hour or so. He also big leagued my guitar instructor back in va beach.
@@josephpyatt3685 really man? I never thought he would be like that. I guess people have different perspectives
@@diegodavila5604 according to my instructor he was an ass. But that could have been his ego getting hurt by Stump so...
But yeah, the showing up late to class eating an apple is what really turned me off to him.
Seeing him pick on youtube does him no justice though. That shits crazy irl.
@@josephpyatt3685 alright it’s ok to have an opinion. Just so you know that when I was there for a semester it was normal for a lot of my teachers to show up to class 15 minutes late. At least 6 of my teachers there showed up to class 10 - 15 minutes late. He’s not the only one my man
Yngwie, Chris, MAB as influences ; the holy trinity of 80s speed!
Unlike MAB, Joe actually has some musical talent
Amen
vinnie moore is missing from ur list... fuq ur list
Yup Vinnie is the master. BUT unlike the mainstream musicians Vinnie is not a Hollywood ACTOR.
I was just referring to the players Joe quotes as influences. I do love some VM.
Yngwie always said that he didn't start to pay attention to his technique until people has told him he was doing particular stuff that had names lol. He always said that he had an idea in his mind and that he'd do anything to play that idea he had... that's how i think he developed his picking style. It's not like he was consciously sitting down saying "ok, instead of going down up down up down up ill go down up down up down down".
I believe it!
Yeah actually thats how i 'came up' with it as well. I would practice alt. picking all the time, but when i played for real, i would pick like Joe's or Malmsteen (unknowingly). After a while i decided that if it sounded ok, than it was ok. It wasnt until a couple of years ago, that ive found out yingwie and joe picked that way as well, and on top of that, that it had a name! Up until that point i was like resigned to the fact i was playing it "wrong".
Thank you Troy for this nice tribune for the great Joe Stump. He ‘s been so much criticized over the years for being a Yngwie clone despite being such a nice guy, a great teacher and hell of a player. So underrated. He truly deserve it.
Hey Joe, I STILL have those hand written tabs, signed picture, and guitar pick you sent me so many years ago. The COOLEST THING a guitar player/Musician has EVER done for me.
Thanks for taking some time to send a fan some guitar lessons for merely having asked you some tips. Still a class act, Joe is very underrated and humble. For anyone who thinks he ripped off Yngwie, not true. For guitar players with tuned ears, and musical insight, you can clearly hear that Joe has his own phrasing, and effortlessly combines speed and clarity. No one quite picks as Well as Joe Stump. His picking technique is the best. Right up there with Yngwie's, and Eric Johnson's.
Yep, Joe also sent me some lessons great guy.
I have an mp3 (from crappy cassette) of Joe giving me a lesson at our hotel room in 1989-90 when he was in Trash Broadway and I was a "roadie" driving from Maine to Boston to support the band. He is a great guy and humble. Although he is compared to Yngwie, I think he has his own style and tone, given that his musical influences (before Yngwie) were Richie Blackmore, Gary Moore, Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth and of course Yngwie when he hit the scene... Nice to hear a shout out to Chris Impellitteri (one of my favs).. Going to see Joe in a little bar in Maine in 2 days before he does two shows in Canada (Toronto) \m/
I’ve met Joe a few times over the years when he played shows a local bars close to me, and once with Holy He’ll. Very cool guy.
But the coolest thing was when I went to see Yngwie last year at a show local to me in Hartford CT on his World On Fire Tour...about half way through, I look back and who is sitting at the seat directly behind me; Joe Stump. It was was awesome. We chatted a bit after the gig. 🎸🤘🏻
I wish there were more videos on jason becker's technique, he's insane.
Unfortunately even Jason can’t remember the technical details as he has been able to play for decades now.
2204JCM there are videos to learn from tho
superclaw900 there is a guy who has his video on Jason’s technique, nothing spectacular but he talked to Jason , and Jason explained to him what he did, I bought the video, it is not so old, and it is not true that Jason forgot as you can read in the other comment here.
superclaw900 the video is called in the style of Jason Becker
jeez dude what more do you need to know about becker he does alternate picked scales and sweep arpeggios
I wish Shawn Lane were still here, so his picking could be dissected!
Considering the genius Troy is, maybe he can pull it off anyway...
Shawn discussed his picking on one if his instructional videos. You can find this...listen to his discription, watch him, apply Troy's logic. I do know that he's a trailing edge picker using a nervous flinch, concentrating all his energy to the tip of the pick. To paraphrase.
@@jfo3000 The Trailing Edge is the back of the pick right?
I actually use the side of the pick.
@@MrPyroguru it refers to the reverse angle, not the part of the pick
Shawn Lane was one of the best guitar players to put his foot on this planet. His picking technique was killer too.
Great teacher, Joe is my guitar instructor at Berklee, always inspiring to hear
Yes indeed!
Mamalo
JOE is such a humble guy and an great underrated player. Good to see him here.
"Double-down" Ruggins also used two downstrokes in a row. or was that two downed SMOKES in a row? I forget. cool to see someone do two downstrokes so quickly and cleanly like that.
I just saw Joe last night with his band Stormbringer - Deep Purple Tribute. His playing is as good as it gets and his live performance and showmanship are among the best I've seen!
If only this technology was around when Shawn Lane was still with us, blowing every other guitarist out of the water ❤️
I feel you man
Shawn lane was a Goddamn legend
Shawn was the best and I am someone who doesn't think any one guitarist is better than the other but Shawn was the best. He was doing all that over the top shredding before EVH or Yngwie were heard of. 1978 when he was 17 touring with Black Oak Arkansas. That demo floated around Los Angeles in the mid 80's and it included some other tracks from some other recordings he had done including a piano piece where he shredded on classical piano same as he does on guitar.
@@shovelheadseven that’s the thing Fred, Shawn was never over the top. As a guitar player myself I know, a lot of people wouldn’t get it but what he created and what he left us was pure magic. Safe to say we won’t see that again in our lifetime ❤️
@@LuckySinghMusic I agree
This is just ridiculously clean! You can tell he really knows what he's talking about as well which must make for a good conversation.

yngwie's picking technique is sublime. no question.
In the 80s I went down the Yngwie path for about a year because of the band I was in. and while I was proficient at some of the tunes it really wasn’t my style. But I did retain the picking precision which came in so handy. Independently of your preferred style there are always transferable skills.
this guy is an amazing player "yanadamean"
Hahaha. If you know what I mean.
Joe Stump the the #1 most underrated shred guitarist in the world maybe ever. Guy is an absolute beast.
Joe Stump kicks ass! Always dug his stuff, and he seems like a total bro to have a beer with! Cracking the Code is always awesome.
finally Joe Stump
Dude...thank you for this. Joe is one of the first shredders that really blew my mind and showed me that there was this CRAZY other world of guitar playing...about which I knew nothing.
I stepped into the Berklee summer sessions in 98 for the first time as a 14 year old kid who’d grown up on a steady diet of Metallica, Queen and every grunge band ever. Kirk was my benchmark and neoclassical shred was so far off my radar, it didn’t even register. The first seminar I saw with him, he launched into rapid fire rondo and thrill of the chase and that was that. Sweep picking, emphasis on fluidity, that neck pickup sound, knowledge of harmony...all concepts I learned in the summer of 98 in Boston that really influenced how the next 20 years of my life as musician would shape up.
Four years later, I auditioned in front of Joe with dance of eternity (yeah...I know...shoot me). Got all 4’s and 5’s and they stuck me in an bop ensemble with a group of seniors who humiliated me so badly, I was embarrassed to walk to hallways. Those were the days, man...
Joe is awesome. His technique and his albums are a bible for shredders 🤘🤘🤘
Great video, thanks for posting. Joe is flawless on the economy picking, it's always great to listen to him.
Not only a great player, Joe is an excellent teacher! His books break down a lot of concepts & theory that mystified me for a long time.
Glad to see Joe here, his picking technique definitely deserves recognition. Also, I find his musical sense to be quite unique, despite the similarities with Yngwie. Joe is one of my favorite high gain players without a doubt, his music and picking style has been influencing my playing a lot.
It seems a pre-requistite for neo classical guys to wear many rings and bracelets and wear open shirts. Wish I was cool enough to carry that look.
I went to Berklee in the 90's, right when everyone suddenly pretended they weren't cock rockers and that stuff was soo laame and everyone were suddenly disgruntled grungers who played shitty guitar solos. Joe taught there then, and dressed and played just like this, and did not give a fuck, and did not change. I was never into this kind of playing, but went to some of his clinics to learn about technique, and he's a super cool guy and really good teacher and he really helped my ability to play the guitar. I think it's cooler to stay true to what you are and what you do, and he seems to have done just fine with his career.
Dudes commenting on others dudes looks.
Don´t forget those western boots
Oisin McPhillips Stop wishing and go open ya shirt and buy some bangles ,done !
Well can you Sweep Pick?
Killer player. Amazing, exceptional economy picking technique. One of the best that i have ever seen.
Joe is a true master of his art. Every solo album has been a gem, well thought out and amazingly executed. And now he's making heavy metal history with Alcatrazz and Joe Stump's Tower of Babel. Keep Rockin Joe! Can't wait for the new albums to be released.
Joe Stump The SHREDLORD!!
🔥🔥🎸
"When you're trying to rock that seventh note in time, it's no picnic." Well, that settles the seventh note issue for me.
Ha. Joe is the best.
Yeah, that critical 7th-note issue.... haha
So cool to see this close up...
I was managing a coffee shop near Pittsburgh a dozen years back and didn't know who Joe was. He came in and talked to me for ten minutes, just a good dude. I was thinking it a bit bold to say he was known as the American Yngwie, but checked him out after my shift and, yeah, he lived up to the hype.
Great to see Joe on here. I haven't seen him since Berklee. Great player and awesome teacher! The man has forgot more technique than most will know 🙌🏻
I had never heard of Joe Stump before. Took a minute to look up his work. Now I'm a fan!
I've been playing for 25 years but never took a lesson... only recently i notice that when i have to pick extremely fast i naturally use economy picking either upstroke or downstroke...being a big fan of Petrucci and Gilbert, I got a bit paranoid as i thought this was a mistake too late to correct so it's cool hearing that many famous guitarist do it too...
Joe is a really great player and seems like a great guy/ There's a few of his lessons on youtube.
I remember 'the thumb thing' was something that felt so natural but I was always told it was "wrong" technique. In the early 2000s the only then notable guy doing it was the lead guitarist from Sum 41, and I remember seeing him practice Iron Maiden riffs almost only using thumb and finger movement, virtually no wrist. And people said it's stupid, it's just a guy from Sum 41 rather than a serious rock/metal band. Just goes to show if it feels natural, works for you and doesn't lead to injury, do it your own way. Had no idea Malmsteen himself uses the technique.
I've always loved Joe's kind of Raw shredding sound! Rock on Joe brother!
Back in the early 2000s a friend guitarist from another band from mind dragged me to a Michael Angelo batio clinic that he was doing in our area mab was selling guitars and showing his click on x wing fighter guitar and demonstration way back then, and the technique of so called economy picking and tapping and working on ambidextrous thinking, so it basically was a workshop, but the music shop was full. My friend got one of those guitars he played and worked for awhile on that style even though he was already a phenomenal player, and made me learn some of the shredding stuff, but I never cared for it, because it took away from my improv skills that I focused on, but now old I'm going back to relearning them, and trying to be a more rounded player, I'm just a nobody still, but at least I can teach this stuff to a new generation
Great work on this Troy! Joe Stump is one of my early shred heroes when I was learning lead techniques
I like how he described the double down picking part. Someone I've always loved to use to keep myself in time with music and also to keep myself reminded of what I'm playing because that tiny little break always click in my mind for a change.
Greig Williamson awesome
One time, I offered Yngwie a donut, and he politely said no thank you. Nicest guy ever.
Man...Joe does that so well. His thumb seems to move so smoothly and naturally.
One of my wishes is to see this person playing live, I hope that you'll come to Europe again. It's strange that people talk about Europe when it comes to neo classical guitar due to historical background, but IMHO by far the best neo shredder lives in the US and it's Mister Joe Stump.
I love it how Joe says "a lick that everybody plays"!
Come on,their is only realistically 2% of the guitar playing community that has anywhere near this ability!!!!!!!!!
Joe Stump definitely deserves more publicity for his monster playing!!!!
I had stump as my celebrity teacher back in 1997 summer guitar sessions at berklee school of music, wicked nice guy, he let us try his guitar, that scalloped neck shit was weird, I could never get used to it, awesome guy, never acted like an ass hat and answered every question.
This is SO cool. I have all of these habits and tendencies and I spent ages trying to “correct” them. It’s strange and inspiring to see someone doing and thinking almost identical to how I naturally learnt and play.
next: Chris Impellitteri
This guy is so underrated. Damn shame
Could you please do a video about Jason Becker’s AIMM clinic and what technique he uses? I know you like Yngwie more than Jason but I would really appreciate it.
I would love a response if you might or if not. Take care Troy, I love your videos.
Great interview Troy! Thank you so much for doing this! Joe is a fantastic player and teacher. Such a wealth of info. Hopefully there Is more to come.
This is the best s*** ever. Joe Stump rules. 🐻👍
Joe is not only a killer player, but a total sweetheart of a guy!
Yeah, he seems cool as hell. I still have Guitar Dominance, Night Of The Living Shred. Supersonic Shred Machine, and Rapid Fire Rondo.... I had to mail off for those in the 90's to Leviathan Records... Same label as David Chastain I think.
Unlike MAB, Joe actually has some musical talent
Hey Hank, when do you wanna meet up again for a bumming?
you must be mistaken,MAB went to guitar university,technically he knows much much more about theroy music etc then joe,hes just like zakk wylde where he just cant get enough of the speed.
This way of thinking is very liberating and is great to hear Joe talk about. So many obsess over the “rules” and his cops at the door comment was great. Great video, guys.
These are the most amazing video's and just resonate so much! I plateaued and was left behind in the 80's. I just figured that some people had it and others did not, so I became a songwriter instead. I am glad for that but now I want revisit high level guitar.
It's never too late! We just didn't have the resources back then.
Such control and speed is jaw-dropping.
I don't understand how Joe is not more famous or a billionaire. I wish Joe would start his own channel.
Yngwie is not a billionaire too he just has 20-30 million dollars.
My favorite guitarist ever . Love you Joe
Love Joe.... more Joe please.
YMJ referred to the thumb thing as stirring a tea cup...interesting until I saw Grady Cracking The Code with MAB. I never noticed that I rotated my thumb sometimes when picking.
The Shred Lord!! 🙂🤟🏼❤️ I love that Guy. Surprisingly Amazing! Thank You Joe.
Donovan 🤟🏼
My favorite Professor. By far, not even close. 🤟🏼
Dude is East coast for real.... . lol love it
GREAT VIDEO!!!
Yngwie, Chris, and MAB are the main people I listen to and try to learn from also! Joe is awesome!
Good to see Joe get more recognition!
*I will always be stumped on "economy" picking and this bizarre legend where some guy outright invented it lol!* It's quite literally the natural order of instinct to pick in this way and I had done it for in the decades before I found out some guy named it and claimed to invent it. WTF!?
*It's the ultimate "I caught a fish THIS big!" story.*
I think as a taught concept, it's relevant but as a fixed method with distinct pattern usage and a self proclaimed invention, that is pure idiocy. *What I am getting at is as you advance as a player, mixing legato, alternate picking, flat picking and sweep picking should be an instinctive development, but especially so when it's the blending of alternate, legato and sweeping.*
How someone claims to have invented something millions of us naturally did without ever hearing about the guy in the first place is really pig headed and part of this "brand loyalty" culture putrefying the world today.
Absolutely love Joe. I took a semester of lessons with him through Berklee online. He's a nice guy and derservs all the attention of rock fans. I do wish this video would have discussed some descending lines, which usually requires alternate picking. I don't think the guys who do economy picking commit to upstrokes when descending.
I've been playing guitar since I was 14 (I'm 52 now) and only the last 10 years I know that I'm economy picking. I didn't know there was a name for this.. I did it since the eighties and after buying the Paul Gilbert instructional video I found out he was "alternate picking". I thought I was doing it all wrong. I had a hard time learning this alternate picking thing because "economy picking" came naturally to me. I first thought that I was the only one that picked this way.
Great! Bring Andy James to the magnet!
When a guy walks into a guitar competition with scalloped frets, it's probably best you sit this one out.
Love it and Joe is beyond awesome. When I first started guitar I naturally played using economy picking, until I read somewhere that you're supposed to use alternate picking. I had to train it out of me, and I haven't used it since!
I’m unlearning a lot of stuff I saw as “discipline” back as a kid, not realizing guys like Yngwie often have no idea what they’re talking about when they’re breaking stuff down. Watching guys like Troy who break it down to a microscopic level has been so enlightening. There’s so much legato and economy picking with some of those shredders that swore up and down that it was all alternate picking
0:33
Never saw/heard Chris Impelitteri doing any economy picking stuff in the 80's era, maybe later, but in the first EP and in Stand in Line I don't think there is any of that, only pure alternate picking and sweep picking.
i met him years ago at a local guitar show, he was pretty cool
Digging that the look of that ESP Strat clone with the reversed headstock. Familiar, yet different.
I am going to learn this
Joe Stump is the Shred Lord. His technique is better than YJM.
Fuck yeah, the Stratomaster himself!
Great video and great stuff. Joe Stump is such an inspiration to me.
I’ve been playing guitar for 9 years now. I’ve heard Yngwie and I’ve heard Joe Stump and I have to say Joe is less of a one trick Pony the Yngwie. Some of Joes songs are straight jams and while I’m impressed and somewhat of a Yngwie fan I prefer to listen to Joe as it’s not just strictly that neoclassical you get with Yngwie most the time, it’s got a rock blues almost vibe occasionally and Joe has created many awesome killer riffs that are subtly inserted into songs he’s next level honestly. He’s like Guthrie Govan minus the crazy tapping stuff, he plays exactly what he’s thinking as he’s thinking it due to complete fretboard mastery and borderline excessive practice. Just my 2 cents
Great info! Love how fluid Joe is with his technique. Like to see you profile Andy Timmons sometime!
Never heard of this dude but damn son ,his playing is clean af , this kind of skill level is insane
his playing is crazy it looks like he’s playing slower when he’s playing faster lol
He taught at Berkelee, my friend studied under him… unreal guitarist
what a great guitarist... never heard of him.. thanks for introducing him through this video. I am dizzy though. so much speed!!! 😄
To my knowledge, Chris Impellitteri is a huge alternate picking monster, Chris loves Steve Morse and Al Di Meola and his picking attack makes his style so aggressive. I never saw him use economy picking.
ive seen Chris hybrid and sweep but never economy pick scales
yeah never seen him doing that but even MAB do eco sometimes these days. So I guess he may have.
Same here, but in watching his REH video, he mentions how he always plays either 3 notes per string licks or sextuplet licks so he can start on a downstroke and end on a downstroke but in trying that, the only way I found that to play out was to economy pick. In recent years though, he uses alternate picking almost exclusively.
Robert Moore To play a three note per string pattern starting with an upstroke and ending the six notes with an upstroke you go: Down, up, down (switch strings) Up, down up.
That’s the definition of alternate picking, as he shows throughout his REH videolessons.
Chris impelliterri sucks
He is an yngwie clone who doesn't play anything in time
His version of since you been gone is the worst shred i have ever heard
Chris impellitteri is a picking monster
was
Världshav He is!
Check his newest albums!
He is a tapping/legato monster as well, listen to his licks on spanish fire
I hate impelliteri
His remake of since you been gone was awful
What should i listen to to change my mind ?
John McMinn his black ep, and stand in line album; on the black ep there is the most monstrous picking you’ll ever hear, some parts are crazier than mab’s
Love his articulation.
Joe stump is like all of the things I like about Yngwie and none of the things I hate about Yngwie
Any Shredders out there, listen to Shawn Lane, you will not be disappointed. Nothing against these guys but Shawn Lane is still unmatched to this day.
That starting scale passage ascending, I am trying to get down. I have the technique close, but the speed is still very slow. I'm going to make that a life goal just to get to his speed. That lick has always freaked my ears off, cannot get enough of it......so hard to do.
Are we re-discovering the fact again that we are over-analyzing too much and practicing not enough?
Maybe, but it's proof that we care. Sooner or later we'll start practicing with the incorporated knowledge that came from analyzing this great players.
These vids are teaching how to practice effectively to break through barriers folks would be otherwise stuck on.
Fretboard Burner not necessarily. If you’re practicing something wrong and not taking any new information, you’re just reinforcing bad habits.
@@kirandisley6288 Exactly. Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. We have to always improve how we practice and make sure we're not reinforcing bad habits, like you said ;)
@@DeathBringer769 Do you have a gerbil in your pocket?
Completely sick!!!!
legend speaking about legend, this is guitar history here
Next guest : Chris Impelliteri!
Troy, I have seen a lot of your videos, and I never comment, but this one was great for many reasons. Well done man! I wish you would do this with Yngwie.
xxArcanexx i agree - it sure would be great if Troy could sit down with Yngwie! One thing I notice about Yngwie's REH video: his playing is amazing, but his explanation of his technique is not so great. On his lesser known Play Loud series that he did with Young Guitar (Japan) in the 90's, he explained his technique a little better. Young Guitar also did a better job slowing him down (super duper slo mo!) AND with the Tab. They actually caught his Economy Picking technique, and notated it in the tab. Also there are 3 tapes: Basics, Arpeggio, and Classical Styleings, so each focuses on a different aspect of his playing. He talks about his influences, and the Stratocaster as well. I don't think Yngwie will ever break down his own technique as in depth as Troy does in Cracking The Code Episodes 8-10 though!
Exactly, just pay the $ and interview Yngwie, Troy. It would be epic as f***. 🐻
What pickups are in his guitar?!? And what amp is he playing through? That tone is killer!
