    The irony being that my guitar instructor was just talking to me about working on my hand syncrhonization, and i have been stuck trying to progress with level 5 of bradley's 1 min sweep tutorial. I think the universe is trying to tell me something. So thank you so much for your online lessons/tutorials. They have been really helpful to me growing as a player... and I can imagine many other people feel the same

      In my opinion, those questions were solved 1 century ago. Just check matteo carcassi, aguado, Paganini, sor, coste manuals . The list is long. The information was already there, and believe me, it's better explained, it your tone sounds good in acoustic no doubt it can sound great in electric.

      I know it's player preference, but is playing with your ring finger more effective than the pinky? (like, only use pinky when the fret is out of reach of the ring finger)

    • @SchecterIsKING
      @SchecterIsKING Месяц назад +1

      @@Ozen___ Personally I find it easier to use my pinky now. I didn't at first as I always used my ring finger and I neglected using my pinky badly so it became really difficult to use. My opinion is you should always try to use all four fingers when playing. It stops any of them from being weaker than the others.

    btw anyone who has trouble going up from 80 ~> 100 ~> 120 ~> 140 bpm, play to a metronome and practice 80 till you get it right, then go up by 5 each time, so you get 85, then 90, and repeat. if it starts getting difficult, increment the BPM by 1 each time. this is one of the more "efficient" ways in my experience.

    @Matthew_Klepadlo Месяц назад +6

    If there were only two things that guitar players could practice and if they want to become serious and professional musicians, it’d be these two things in order:
    1. Rhythm. Even legendary lead guitarists say 90% of the job is rhythm. Timing is everything. If your timings sucks, then your music sucks. Groove is SO important that it is likely the only musical element that can stand on its own (harmony and melody can’t exactly stand on their own like how rhythm can).
    2. Two-hand synchronization. Your shred chops will be limited if you can’t synchronize your hands. Fast shred lines? Sweep picking? Tapping? Even going hammy on the whammy!?! All will benefit from solid two-hand synchronization.
    If you don’t have either of these: forget it. You’ll never be a good musician. Good news: excellent practice makes excellent… so practice.

    i would argue that slopiness comes from the maturity of onesplaying rather than pure sync, which indeed is a valid argument. Having a well defined vibrato and adequate enough bends that meet the designated pitch as well as a sharp right hand that articulates phrases and runs well is even more importat. lastly , having the same velocity and power on your upstrokes as zour downstrokes makes everything a lot tighter.

    No disrespect, but this is one aspect where I think metal has really lost its way. Jimi Hendrix, hailed as the best guitarist of all time was about as “sloppy” as they come.
    Unfortunately, young guitarists today idolize the Vai, Malmsteen, Petrucci, Gilberts of music and it has created such an unrealistic expectation of theory based perfection that they overlook and don’t truly understand what makes it music in the first place. One’s goal should be to convey a message, tell a story, evoke an emotion, not to sound like a machine.
    All of that said, I’m sure this is a good tutorial for simply getting better and tighter at lead for those struggling and seeking that sound.
