    I’ve been following you for over 5 years, and have applied the knowledge you provide and my level of playing has improved tremendously. I have a strict practice routine everyday. And you are right it’s not what your practice it’s how you practice. Thank you for the hard work you put into these videos!!🤘

    You are an excellent teacher. I love how you talk about your own struggles, what you’ve done to tackle your struggles and demonstrate the results for all to see and hear which clearly show that what you are saying is not BS because the results speak volumes for themselves. I’ve played guitar for nearly 25 years and considered myself good and I’ve been told I’m good by everyone who has seen and heard me play. But , I never realized just how much I don’t know until I started watching your posts for the past year . Arpeggio sweeps of course being my favorite cus I just love the way they sound . And thanks to the advice you share ,,, I’m shredding the hell out of my arpeggio sweeps faster than I EVER thought I could and I absolutely love the way it feels as they just flow through my fingers. You’re the real deal bro🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸

    When I stumble across sweep picking techniques by other people I'm always amazed on the approach of those. It's true for you too. I got a completely different sweeping motion, pick handeling, muting techniques with both hands and I even include string skipping in regular sweeps.
    I started out sweep picking with no lessons, nobody could teach me this and the internet weren't a big thing at the time...at least for me, so I came up with very unique techniques for this by trial and error, teaching it to myself. Always a pleasure to see the same result with very different approaches from very different people. Amazing video, keep it up 💜

    I use some of your excercises even though I play jazz guitar; most of them are too advanced for me, but I tried the "spider" and my fingering and speed have improved after only a few days.
    I was one of those doing the spider wrong all these years!

    • @jfo3000

      I think it's Metheny who says "If I miss one day of playing I can tell. If I miss two days the band can tell. If I miss three days the audience can tell."
      Speaking for myself, I rarely miss a day. It's important to keep it going. It's a lifestyle.
      Just make a commitment to play 10 minutes EVERY day. And when that 10 minutes elapses you'll be warming up, making things work nicely, and ultimately keep on playing for a good while longer.
      If it's family commitments like young kids, get up an hour before everyone to have your own private time. That works!

  • @matiosmi137
    @matiosmi137 2 года назад +67

    A protip from my practice: struggle with a tricky part from a cover/something you composed? Make it into an excercise: record the backing track, transcribe the part in MIDI and program it in your DAW in increasing tempos. Of course it won't replace your technique excercises but it's still fun to master something that actually makes sense and which you can use right away

    • @jfo3000
      @jfo3000 2 года назад +4
