      you sure about that? i've been playing guitar for about 8yrs give or take, an def not 24/7. and i can play a few of thier songs. alot of it is hammer ons, hammer offs, and pinch harmonics. can literally do it one handed really if you practiced 20 or 30 hrs trying to do so. i'd say give things another try and maybe go with G.O.A.T. or Euphoria since those are far easier than alot of thier other tracks.

      @moviebad109 2 года назад +56

      @@oicfas4523 not necessarily. Alternate picking a run that goes through multiple strings can get tricky. Because you may end up going opposite motion depending on the run.
      Like if you’re in a note on string 3, you’re picking “up” for the next note, but it’s in string 4 (down) the motion of your picking technique is taking you AWAY from where you want to be for the next note in the run.
      It’s why a lot of guitarists use what’s called economy picking. Basically picking with the thought in your mind of where you need to be next. You “economize” your motions so they’re more efficient.
      But, your pick direction DOES have subtle tonal differences to the trained ear. Which is why he likely recorded it that way. Playing it live is just another beast entirely. You need to be like surgically precise to pull off an alternate picking run across multiple strings. Or write it in a way that compensates your motions by going “up” or “down” a string depending on where your current pick direction is.

Music should always be a celebration of talent, and there are always going to be artists we all look up to and influenced by. I would think the music industry would be happy if we as creators did covers and gave credit to the original artists, buy the song from the artist to help them in their career, push awareness of artists/bands, and push sales! Love your work! ✌️
