Man, I tought you were the same person for a while, I think there might be some similarities, but this guy is an a whole another level (no offense brad)
I just love this exercise, not only does it sound fantastic, it's also particularly effective. My Alternative Picking was just bad, but now after a week it's a thousand times better Thanks and Cheers from germany 🎸
Hi Beanley, 1 minute is what it took me to realise it'll take days to memorise the patterns (no way I'm gonna be able to read tabs and play along directly, I'm fucked for starters on that one...), let alone the time it'll take to get to the stuff in the last 2 levels. Well, Christmas holidays are coming up, guess I've found a way to invest some time here... Thanks mate!
As an absolute beginner I wonder if this is possible at 60 bpm. Will find out soon - seems like a complete workout! Mostly for alternate picking though, yes? For other things like fretting hands one should also try other workouts?
I’d love to see a guide for when to use this versus economy picking. Some riffs I find easier to incorporate more fluid movement. But I can’t tell if it’s just because I’m more practiced with economy picking than alternate picking.
I've been running through this at like 0.7 speed and the playing from the vid is still so clean. Just checked it out at full speed again, amazing playing man!
Holy fuck! I'm going to have to go back to this video a few times just to make sure I get the technique down! That said, I don't know if it's the adrenaline speaking, but my fingers are already feeling much nimbler!
I've been practising similar exercises and my alternate picking technique and speed has improved a lot over the past few months but there is still one major issue I have with specific descending licks. (the one in Pantera's Revolution is my Name for example - around minute 3:34) and I have no idea how to fix it or what I'm doing wrong. I'm hitting all the notes but there is a lot of unwanted noise from the other strings which makes it sound very messy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
my arthritis is killing me,,,,but I'm not tapping out...even if it takes me months to finally be able to play this up to speed and not miss notes...only up to the 3rd phase...haven't even played all 3 together at 75% using youtube speed adjust...treating each phase as completely separate mini songs until I get them to where it is like muscle memory to play each...this is the only one I've found that isn"t straight up overwhelming as far as chord change difficulty and the arpeggio patterns are concerned, except for that last triplet pattern in phase 2...I'm wanting to simplify it to make it like in a repeating 6, like 12 14 16 16 14 12 12 14 16 16 14 12, but I'm not going to, even though it goes against what my 62 year old brain wants to lean to...old dog, new trick...ugh...back to work...thanks for the video, you evil British person, you...or maybe you're a good British cherub in disguise, haha ! Really though, thanks for this one, and hope you and yours are doing great!
as a self taught guitarist to be its totally crazy that alternate picking seems to be such a big topic. I really dont consider myself a good guitar player. I dont know many scales(i'm only very very quick with blues scale)..I cant really come up with solos that sound very varried or interesting...and i've been playing since I was 15 (32 now) but only in the last few years I hear ALTERNATE PICKING. never looking too much into it thinking its some kind of weird crazy guitar technique... so apparently i've been able to do alternate picking pretty much since I was 16 or 17. always played metal ( was a huge fan of thrash) so I guess thats kinda what forced me to have to play that way. thanks for making me feel a bit better about myself 😆. i'm not completely terrible after all these years
I've been playing self taught for a while too. Alternate picking is not just picking up and down dude. These exercises are meant to build hand synchronization. If you don't play with a metronome and do exercises like these every day you don't have it. Alternate picking is hard af to do correctly
@@enjoikeenan "If you don't play with a metronome and do exercises like these every day you don't have it." I'm sorry but that is ridiculous lmao. I did play obsessively much as a kid but I really do not need to exercise with a metronome EVERY DAY to be able to alternate pick. jump in the fire by Metallica? not alternate picking? I have been able to play that (albeit back then not SUPER CLEAN) since I was about 17 years old. I still play it from time to time because I think it's massively fun. like I stated above, I dont think I am such a great guitar player since I dont know THAT many techniques, but this one I am pretty sure of.
@@cyborgchimpy Quote the metronome and and completely disregard the part about hand synchronization. Oh wait that's right, you don't know what that is. I used to be just like you when I started playing. Thinking there was nothing better or harder than Metallica. Then I grew up. I've never played jump in the fire but I know it would take me all of 2 seconds to be able to figure out the simple chug rhythms to Lars brain dead beat. The fact of the matter is, Metallica is pretty simple, straightforward music. There's a reason we all started out playing it.
@@enjoikeenan dude...did you even listen to jump in the fire?...I didn't disregard shit, you are just a hack who's pretending to know what he's talking about pretending you even HEARD THE SONG AT ALL. the chorus isn't CHUG CHUG, its a part of the blue scale up n down...alternate picking.. you probably need to be able to sync your 2 hands together for that! but I guess that's not *hand synchronisation* right? bro. please you are starting to embarrass yourself. I really did not expect you to come back and answer after being proven categorically wrong. but here you are doubling down on how verifiably wrong you are. "I used to be like you when I started playing" like damn..dude you have no clue who I am or what I can actually do but you are THIS smug. no one said Metallica is HARD to play. that's just your weird ego problems inserting things I never said, claimed or insinuated. weirdo.
@@enjoikeenan dunno why my comment got deleted but I'll try to keep it short while answering all of that bullish*t. I didn't disregard sh*t. you just can't read between the lines. I said you dont need a metronome or practice everyday to be able to alternate pick. yes that includes the hand synchronisation. you are a hack and a liar. you haven't listened to jump in the fire. the chorus is not chugging, it is a part of the blues scale up and down. some people downpick, most people (including the original writer) alternate pick this. I guess you'd need to be able to *synchronise your hands* to be able to play this at speed right? right?.. you are also a smug narcisist with your "I used to be like you when I started playing". you have no clue who I am or what I can do lmao. no one said Metallica was hard to play or that the song I referred to was hard to play. the *fact* is that this is alternate picking. your weird ego problems just had to insert something I never said into the conversation so you could start talking about how great you think you are. it is almost cartoony. maybe..just maybe...hear me out... maybe..I'm good at some things you aren't good at...and maybe..it is possible..that I might have some things I'm not good at which you are good at..you know..like normal human beings?
Can u tell me why my biceps hurt n getting tired in biceps when I’m alternate picking in one string in a downward pick slanting angle but it doesn’t hurt when i do the same thing in a upward slanting angle please give me a tip I know im doing something wrong but I’m following what u said in this video maybe some other mistakes im doing thats why i notice my biceps getting tired faster
ngl im not an expert maybe you're using your upper arm too much to pick fast, usually it should be the forearm/wrist doing the work, not the upper arm i think you probably should check on picking technique videos or something
I've been told 2 different things to build speed, one is to practice at a speed in which I can play everything perfectly and to do millions of repetitions, and the 2nd way is to practice above my level even though I can't play perfectly and I will make mistakes, so I'm confused, one school of thought says that slow practice doesn't work and that you have to push beyond that level, the other school of thought is only practicing at a speed I can do perfectly, perfect repetitions, so which way is the right way ? Thank you
The two are correct, just use what you like best or works best. But I think they both work well. To play "O.D" by Polyphia, I started using the first method, and it worked well, I increased 1 bpm with each perfect repeat, starting at 30, i could start on a faster bpm, but you'd better memorize the sequence well, for that I recommend the first method. Once you memorize the sequence, the second method is more viable, at least for me, as it is faster. Just use what you think is best for you, after all, everyone is different.
I have been practicing, practicing, practicing. I've become incredibly good at speed picking, but I just cannot figure this one part out. No matter how much I practice, and no matter how good I get, a monocle and top hat just will not magically appear on me 🙁
get obsessed with Trash metal 😆. I never "realized" that alternate picking was such a big deal because when I started playing guitar I was a complete thrash metal head and its the songs I wanted to absolutely learn. if you wanna go crazy and ignite your wrists as training try "jump in the fire" by Metallica.

Really like this one, will definitely start doing this, thanks beenzley
Good luck with it man, have fun!
i really appreciate that the exercises you make are melodic and could pass as real songs. well done ol' chap.
it's been 4 days & i'm still doing this, i feel much better now in alternate picking. thankyou.

This is so beautiful! Thank you Beanley!
yea 1 min workout that is currently taking me all day to get through properly... love your videos Mr Hallsworth
Instant subscribe. Absolutely love your energy and simplicity.
Nice, looks like a great exercise to do. Saved to my to-do list.❤
Your lessons are fantastic.
Love how Sir Beanley manages to keep his sense of humor while teaching ❤❤❤❤
Beanley you madlad!!! I have to try this one.
Thanks for the exercise! I can pull this one off while waiting for...just about anything. Nice and concise!
Dude thanks from the Navajo Nation!
This is a great etude that sounds like a solo onto itself.
thank you so much man, i will learn this❤
Damn these exercises sound way cooler than leads in my shitty demos. Anyway thanks Beanly
Where can I find these demos?
very cool exercise and sick picking chops, Sir!
Merry Christmas, Bradley. I'm signing up again
You too squire! Hope to see you on the Discord server
Thanks dude! This is awesome.
This helped me out so much thank you!
Excellent !
I have seen loads of your funny videos but I didn't realise that you were an absolute monster on the old geet. Plus 1 to subscribers for you.
Tnx for this exercise. 🤘
This is very helpful, I'm probably comfortably a level 2 at the moment so this will really help me improve
It's fun to play - well done exercise. Merry X-mas
This is the fucking most helpful exercise ever!😂 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
That was sick
Epic thank you
really nice video mate, keep it up
Cheers dude!
30 mins pf trying this and my alt pick8ng is already mich smoother, props to bradley once again
*thanks for motivating me, sir.*
Been downpicking for a whole year now and have never tried alt picking, this is my first attempt on it and I WILL learn it, thanks Beenzley
Badass man,thank u
Thanks you sir from the Navajo Nation!
Bradley Hall is someone whose guitar playing I look up to
been trying this every day for two weeks, stuck between 50% and 75% speed near the end
I’m going to play this video for 1 minute a day to master alternate picking. Thanks so much you bloody legend.
Friggin Sick!
You're a gentleman and a scholar, sir

I keep coming back to this clip…it’s just exquisitely melodic and great fun to listen to. Might even try to play it one day🤥🤔
you got this
Your awesome !!!!
I have time to practice, I just don’t want to. I’ll play without practicing.
Per favore, si contenga
Yea that's basically it.
This is solid
I've been running through this at like 0.7 speed and the playing from the vid is still so clean. Just checked it out at full speed again, amazing playing man!
I start to lose control at those 16th triplet notes on 0.75x speed😢
@@ReezMo Yeah so real, palm muted as well is tricky
I’d achieve anything in life if I had a monocled man in a top hat screaming at me in a British accent.
Thanks for the pointers 🫡
tbh the hard part for me here is the left hand lol
Slowly…picking away at this and getting better every day 🤪
Can you make a video like this but for gallops and tremolo picking? I'd sincerely love that.
You should do a full playthrough of killing is my business and business is good album like you did with rust in peace
what pick do you use?
That went from 0 to 60 reeeeeal quick at the end there 😅
Any advice on where my thumb should be because it hurts when i try to play exercises like this
can't play from level 4 onwards
Holy fuck! I'm going to have to go back to this video a few times just to make sure I get the technique down! That said, I don't know if it's the adrenaline speaking, but my fingers are already feeling much nimbler!
Cool
Me:
Nice. Seems like an easy exercise to learn, and gradually increase the tempo.
Me 1 minute later: 😶
I wish I could finger the fretboard that fast
This is very Berth-ish but not 15 minutes long so i love it!
"play along"...Bradley... Ive been playing guitar for a week😂
How do i get to 20th fret on a classical guitar
How do u pick so fast without ur right arm cramping up?
Holy Shit, judging by the thumbnail, Beanley is currently going through the regeneration process. Let's see If we end up with another David Tenant
One minute, he said... 😅
Close enough haha
what can i do if my left hand sucks as well (i am right handed )
Im be very proud if i cn finish level 3
Thank you beanly one day I will not suck

Dude that requires like 3 years experience and a musical degree, if I knew how to play it I wouldn't need to practice XD
When you can’t even do the first level because of your left hand…
Master it in 2 minutes (0,5x speed), then, play at 1 minute
oh... my left hand doesnt work in this exersice :(((t
