The journey to getting better at fast alternate picking after 14 years of doing it wrong! Huge props to Troy Grady for putting in the work to provide insight on how shredders pick fast. Thanks to his Cracking The Code series, I've begun to get some basic speed, and I'm sharing that process with you today. For a deeper dive into this, please check out his site/channels.

Can totally relate to your picking problems. While my legato has improved quite a bit over the last year, my alternate picking got even worse. I will try to tackle the issue once again with your video. Cheers man!
alternate picking is the hardest for me, definitely worth the effort though
Thanks for putting this out. I realized about three months ago that my "alternate picking" was really just economy picking. I had to learn this myself and it's killing me. I realized that i couldn't do it going up the strings but I instinctively did it going down. It was a total mindfuck and it reminded me of rage quitting Dark Souls
Your editing is always so good. What you're talking about is also easy to understand, unlike a lot of tutorial type videos I've seen. Great video, it's very helpful.
troy is great, most of my technique i learned from him
Dude thanks for posting more of these! I still use several of your tapping/string skipping licks from your old videos in my daily routine! Love your work man please don't stop! :D
I would check out Chris Brooks’ neoclassical speed strategies, it might change your mind about the downward pick slant. He goes super in depth on Yngwie’s picking style and it honestly changed the whole way I look at alternate picking
yea that guy is insanely good, i'd love to take a crack at his stuff
i have this book, really changed my picking.
Feel free to 2x me, i DO be talking slow
Great playing and lesson! And thanks for the goodies.
The link to NadIR Free Cab Loader points to the Ignite Amps - Emissary pack, is this right?
@@MrTubularBalls yes I believe they come as a package
Love your Lessons and exercises bro🔥Keep up the good work✨
Thanks to you and your amazing exercises i learned how to sweep, tap arpeggios, legato, and now i will work on my alternate picking. Do more of these, they are really really helpful. Thank you so much again!
@@dindrmindr626 What do you think that I never knew alternative picking exists before this? No, I was just worse at it.
Hey man, just discovered your channel and I like the approach, style and delivery of your lessons. The point that I'd like to make, and it's something I'm really focusing on now is that picking fast is only useful if your left hand and overall hand synchronisation is up there to match it. At speed, it's easy to pick when the fretting hand is in transit, muting the note. That fast, but clean, perfectly synchronised movement, where the fretting hand is planted already, before the pick strikes and moves through. On a single string, I find this harder descending like 4-3-2-1, where I'm effectively removing each finger on my left hand. As I increase the speed I eventually just get 4 mutes in a row! Final point. High gain tone makes this more forgiving. You can be a little off, and the note still rings out ok. On a clean tone, there's nowhere to hide!
Man call me dense but Troy's videos took me ages to figure out, but this simplified version helped it "click" for me.
I found this channel today and I liked it, thank you for sharing it, subscribed
Hey after long time, another lesson. Well done. Surely going to practice this🎸 I have a request, can you do a lesson on how to create long shred licks/runs. Like building some blocks spontaneously while jamming🍁⭕ Anyways keep it up🥁🎸🎉
Loving the free GP tab downloads.
I use DWPS. It feels more natural than UWPS because you need to beat gravity when you do first up stroke. But Andy James and Jason Richardson uses UWPS. Also this technique and pattern only works for even note string groupings. If you play odd note groupings, then you need to do economy picking or alternate + pull / hammer the last odd note of that string (Yngwie does that way).
I heard that you can do Two-way kind of motion too. Paul Gilbert for example.
@@zaidanp7258 Yeah but it's so hard. Michael Angelo Baito uses that too.
@@yigitalpdikmen331 Absulotely. I use legato and sweep for some odd number grouping. Switching between differently motion is Absulotely Tiring for my hand. Im still trying and practicing The Two Way way. I hope we can do it to!.
@@zaidanp7258 I hope man. Wishing you the best.
@@yigitalpdikmen331 Keep Shreddin!
awesome tone!!
Аааааааа спасибо!!!!!! Как долго видео не было, спасибо!!!!
Too funny you have the Lorna shirt on for the alt picking video lol. Great job as always man, time to level up 💪🏻
fav shirt ❤️
6:32 the only person's who plays incredible fast and barely moves his fist at all while playing is takayoshi ohmura, i still cant figure out how he does this, he only kind of moves his index finger and thumb, it looks soo smooth. If you don't know him, just search for some videos, you will be amazed.
Yup, ohmura is insane 🤯
Thank you brother for your work. I see you experimenting with some editing stuff :) It is really suits the atmosphere of your videos, makes them more original, which is epic.. By the way, how much time it takes for you to tune your floyd rose? I always tune it to e standart, I think you might have more guitars thus different tunings.. mm
As long as I keep same tuning and string gauge when restringing it doesn’t take very long
Great tutorial as always!. You should create an instructional for purchase and download.
True! I'd like to do a longer, more-detailed course at some point
Awesome content and edition. Diggin' into this. Can you talk about phrasing? 🤠
Fascinating!
Thanks for the exercises.
Love your vids man!
Gracias por compartir tus ejercicios crack , me encantan tus ediciones .
Great stuff super informative
Please make videos on tremolo picking
Thank u bro,goldy content as always, just one question plz, are u using monitors or cab? I usually use my headphones bt if i want to hear what i'm playing, wich one to use such I'm an amp sim user?
Thanks! I’m using ampsim through my monitors
Thank u so much bro, peace to u
Great video man.... I've been trynna master alternate picking as well. My question however is how do u generally practice? is it songs or excercises or both or something else entirely... I get stuck in rut while figuring out a a practice routine. thanks
I generally just noodle or play for fun, but in the case of alternate picking, I had to get more focused to make any progress. I’d say pick 1 pattern (or 2 so you don’t get bored) and just run that for 45-60 mins, making mistakes, and trying to analyze what is right/wrong. Do this every day without skipping any days. It’s painful and not fun, but eventually you make some progress and it becomes less painful. No skip days is key for me, hope that helps!
@@clinttustin definitely helps man... thanks... and keep making those videos they are really top class, new and interesting (unlike most content on YT).
I'll do that for the next few months (without skip days 😅) and reply to this thread when I'm there.

When are we getting an album of original music? 🙏😁
Alternate picking is what I've been doing for most of my years (a lot of years unfortunately) playing guitar. I'm still not a shredder by any means but alternate picking seems pretty natural to me. Economy picking, on the other hand, is a total mindfuck. I can't seem to get that mechanic to work at all.
If you’re good at alternate picking, that’s a win
that's a win economy picking just comes naturally to me, and i feel like i'm limited and have to work double on breaking the habit and alternate now
Seems odd to me that economy picking would be more natural to some people than alternate. Alternate is just very basic while economy is a more difficult mechanic. I guess I assumed that most guitar players, generally, would learn alternate picking pretty early on and that economy is more of an intermediate to advanced technique. I wish I could get it, but I'm just having so much trouble with it. Very frustrating
@@majesticpbjcat7707 I don’t know that’s just the way it is I obviously got basic alternate picking first but for fast scale runs economy picking always came first as I couldn’t go faster by alternate picking
I do some kind of circle movement with my thumb and index finger finger along with downward pick slanting when it comes to economy picking 3 notes per string ascending. I just saw yngwie would do something like that when he did fast three note per string runs, and tried it out. It seems to make economy picking “click” for me and felt like I could glide over the strings with minimal effort
very good thanks
What is the brand of these guitars?
Thanks 🤘
nice one of my idol fans here from philippines
Buena táctica Amigo
sickkk I wish I was this good at guitar
