Yea, I am 56, and grew up with monsters like Yngwie, and Steve Morse . Anton Oparin, is a true master. there is just no one like him on He is the best alternate picker on the planet! just discovered him recently and that's when i realized the possibilities of what is possible with well developed universal technique. I saw what I was doing wrong in my picking. so its back to the basics. I can still play clean and fast, but just started to work on my alt picking again because of Anton. His caprices open up new doorways to solo instrumental classical guitar.
I can tell you Anton’s guitar academy is worth it. He starts from the ground up in a way that is easy to understand yet practically scientific in detail. As an American, I never used the platforms he uses before signing up with his guitar academy but it’s legit and worth it
23:30 - That reminds me of a saying I recently heard from someone: "Practice makes permament, not perfect." I love it. In essence, whatever you repeatedly do wrong will become as permanent as whatever you repeatedly do right!
Anton is the only technically proficient player who is able to keep viewers engaged, Most of the problem with this comes subconsciously, in my experience ego is the thing that turns people away faster than anything. Yngwie is a PRIME EXAMPLE. I won't watch his videos because he talks about everything but the guitar. What do automobiles and hairspray have to do with guitar technique? He's a cliche. Destructive egos think having musicians who aren't very good in their band makes them sound better. Blissfully unaware that bands are only as good as the worst player in them. Anton knows how to meet people on their level and effectively bring them up to his level. And you are absolutely right, he is a true prodigy. A rare virtuoso and not only a master of expressing that instrumentally, but being able to explain that to the novice is Priceless
Dima, your journey mirrors mine. I'm a huge fan of Paul as you can see in my avatar, I actually built an exact replica of his double-neck guitar. A while back I had a lesson with Paul and he indicated that he didn't like my picking hand. He didn't mean in a bad way, just that I was resting fingers on the body of the guitar for stability. For years I could not understand how he was getting the speed using a "floating", technique. I found Andy Wood who gave a pretty decent explanation but it was not until I found Anton that I now truly get what is going on, and I am still working on it. Me being from the future of you making this video means that you must now possess the power of picking anything at will without resorting to legato. Thank you for making and sharing this video...Cheers!
Hey man! The replica looks epic! Hope you'll make a video about it. Loved the "Mini Shred" video of yours:) The pure wrist picking is a rare beast. The sheer speed/frequency of "wiggling" the wrist like Paul, Buckethead and Anton is astonishing. I'm not there yet, currently experimenting, fine tuning and testing the grip, wrist angle, and palm resting points, to isolate my weaknesses. Hopefully it will develop over time. Lately I've seen people who got decent results talking about very long wrist practice session, like 6-8 hours a day for a year straight, so I've been trying it as well on weekends. Seems to increase the wrist control and the stability, but only time will tell.
@@DimaPavlenko Thanks for the compliments! I may put together a short video about the construction of the double neck one day soon. I wanted to mention also that I am subscribed to the Paul Gilbert school with only about a week or two before renewal. No disrespect to Paul but I am now convinced that I am not the only one who did not get what they came there for, and that is the amazing picking technique. Thanks to you I will give Antons lessons a try! I've been playing for years and would love the confidence to know that my picking is available to play anything I want. Glad you are continuing the journey. Perhaps I'll upload my progress after the lessons start. Thanks again for the video, I've watched it probably four or five times now! Cheers!
You mentioned Troy missing only a couple things. Yes...straight line motion is one he doesn't teach, and also motion inflection point thresholds. (The points where rotation about a joint turns from upward to downward.) I discovered that myself. Nobody talks about that.
You mentioned that you just want to be able to play things technically correct and you don't care about feel... Totally understand what you're saying. However, this is a massive part of what makes Paul Gilbert...Well, Paul Gilbert. He is the most passionate guitar player out there. To this day he is still excited by the most simple things, bending strings for example. Until you develop a true want for this, you will never truly be able to replicate PG!
Yeah I did begin working in parallel on proper bends the past year inspired by him, definitely a lot of fun once reach some decent control and feel for it. I really love his intonation and early blues rock stuff. I'm using "Down To Mexico" intro as one of my daily routines and I wish to cover his "Twelve Twelve" instrumental one day, there are more bends in it than notes lol (ruclips.net/video/PK3KgVw2C2w/видео.html) Of course I know Troy's channel :)
2:23 this speaks to me so much....but i just kept trying after the 8 years your are refering to and thanks to the detailed analysis of right hand tehcniques made available by Troy Grady I feel that i'm landing somewhere the last four years. I"m my self a hige fan of PG. go and check my cover of Technichal difficulties if you feel like so
Thanks for making this video! I really enjoyed listening to your guitar journey. I particularly loved your "I don't care about playing with 'feeling'; I just want to shred like Paul Gilbert!" sentiment! Haha, I can definitely relate to that. You mentioned that you saw Anton Oparin's students videos pop up every now and then, and that's what convinced you to pull the trigger on his program. I tried searching for such videos, but couldn't find them. Can you please tell me where I can find videos of his students/their progress? Thank you!
Hey man! Glad to share it with everyone, we all seem to have gone through similar stuff :) Regarding Anton students’ videos, I think they were buried somewhere is the middle of some of his videos in Russian. Can't locate it right now, but I remember seeing this guy, Mikhail Popov, submitting videos back when I was subscribed to the school Telegram group: ruclips.net/video/zJzBXjadDvw/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/6AWuddjw41M/видео.html and I was thinking "is he seriously a student or just flexing on us?" lol. Turned out he was wrist picking for years before the school and took lessons to refine it. I don't know how much of it is from Anton vs how advanced he was. Anyway, he is still blowing my mind, although his technique does seem slightly more aggressive relative to Anton’s. Out of the 3 most known Russian guitar community teachers (Anton Oparin, Pavel Zaburuyev, Fredguitarist), Anton really doesn't have a dedicated video of his students. It is suspicious, yet after seeing other people "flying" over the fretboard there, I can only assume that the real reason is that Anton doesn't have any "test songs" like the other two have, built into the learning program. Anton's school is strictly "lets get your technique right at your own pace" rather than "lets make you learn one lick really well so you'd think you're good at something". I classified Paul Gilbert school as the second type, sadly. My best advice is to try whatever school you think is "the right one" and don't be afraid to try others, maybe even come back. The truth is eventually somewhere in between all of them. Few weeks ago I subscribed to Paul's school again because there is a huge collection of videos with his styled phrases and licks over there. So even if you don't submit a single video to Anton, I think the material in his lessons is super useful and worth the money and time (since it takes few days to understand how the school works, where to learn, where to submit, etc.). You'll just start noticing the same mechanics he is talking about, everywhere. Rewatching Troy Grady videos after that will be very funny ;) Different techniques are just different implementations of same picking mechanics/principles. The video I have about Zakk Wylde technique is exactly that - demonstrating and explaining how Zakk's technique implements the general picking mechanics.
@@DimaPavlenko Thank you, thank you! You've been very helpful, my man. I've subbed to the channel and really look forward to your progress and future recommendations in terms of lessons! I will check out your Zakk Wylde video for sure. One thing that I wanted to suggest to you was maybe trying out one of Troy Grady's player interviews since you seem to be in a great position to review them now that you've experienced and researched different teachers and their methods! I know you said it's hard to evaluate the value of Troy Grady's stuff, but the one lesson that really piqued my interest was the interview he did with Teemu Mantysaari. Teemu is apparently an excellent teacher, and Troy said that not only was he aware of UPS and DPS pre-Troy, but that he also had exercises to effectively teach both to his students. That really got me interested, and that lesson has been in my sights for a while, so maybe you can give that a go! In any case, good luck with your guitar journey, and I look forward to seeing more of it. :D
@@MagnusGoGo Thanks man! I have one unrelated video I've been procrastinating for a year, after that one will be a summary of my journey and the last details, I had to figure out in my wrist mechanics. At this point I think I found answers to everything I ever wanted and feel like I've reached the point where I just need to practice the technique I built. I'll check him out! Part of the video I'm planning will be discussing other technical players, I'll see what videos he has related to the topic. Eventually it is up to you to just go and start taking lessons wherever it makes more sense. The trick is to just do it :D
Anton loves Paul Gilbert. That's how he developed his technique. To be able to play Gilbert's stuff. Anton focused on the mechanics behind the picking. Who could blame him? Paul Gilbert was all about shredding fast and being super precise. He's a great player to draw influence from. Also, I believe Anton took that picking info from Michael Angelo Batio "speed kills" DVD. You have to play slow the same way you play fast. That's the MAB way
When you say that you should not rotate the wrist when muting because you want to play in a straight line all the time, do you mean that you should not use pick slanting when crossing strings?
First time ive ever heard that Paul Gilbert is a bad teacher but i agree that some great guitar players probably learned some of the key components when they were very young so it is so simple and so deep down in their brains that they don't even know how they do it. I think its hard to learn some things when older. For example you cant learn Perfect pitch after a certain age. And probably much more things than that. Ive like you also been struggling for years trying to learn how to pick like Paul Gilbert but for me it has never felt natural to hold the pick in my right hand like he does. It doesnt feel like the pick is steady between my fingers and it feels ok on some strings but mostly i cant get an angle that works on the lower strings.. So ive spent many many hours analyzing all of this and Im at the point of where you are right now so it was cool seeing your video talking about how no one have never really talked about all of these important details. I think most people that struggle with this need to analyze how they hold the pick and where they have their hand on the guitar body.
Thanks man, just searching for picking tuts for years, but couldn't find it though! Three fingers ✌technique with how to hold the guitar 🎸 is exactly what i need.. Hope i see your others opinion about this..
Thanks dude! When it comes to fast picking (or relatively fast) turned out there are a lot of details. It really depends on your needs, goals and how deep you're willing to go down the rabbit hole :D Good luck man!!!
? You are saying Paul Gilbert doesn't know how to teach. Wow. He has so many YT vids explaining his picking methods and waaaaay back in the 80s he had those VHS videos where he broke down his methods/ideas slowly so you could try and understand. Maybe you learned easier from a fellow Russian?
Thank you! I’m sorry but I don’t have any opinion about him😊 Anton talked about him in several videos, I personally stick to Paul, both in technique esthetics and musical preferences. I do know he is considered a prodigy with his own unique abilities. Technique seems to be very relative to the desired results.
Приветствую! Спасибо за видео, с удовольствием посмотрел. Подскажите, пожалуйста, медиаторы какой толщины желательно использовать при такой технике? Я понял, что вы предпочитаете 0,8, но что будет, если использовать, например, 1,5?
Cпасибо! Здесь я использовал медиатор Dunlop Ultex Sharp 1mm. Можно и 1.5, особо не важно, желательно покрупней. Главное держать наклон предплечья (так же известно как "играть в гитару"), таким образом интуитивно создаётся треугольная траектория переменного штриха. И проще начать играть от локтя. Запястьем (как Пол Гилберт) это отдельная тема :}
@@DimaPavlenko благодарю за ответ! Поясните, пожалуйста, что вы имели в виду под треугольной траекторией? Насколько я понимаю, при игре на одной струне медиатор ходит практически по одной линии
Извините, отвечал через приложение YT Studio, думал это комментарий под этим видео: ruclips.net/video/XHrwSAqnj18/видео.html Чем плотней медиатор тем сложней проходить струну, во всяком случае пока движение запястье и хват медиатора осваиваете. По своему опыту посоветывал бы не брать слишком жесткий. Для меня куда важней оказалось отработать мелкие движения запястья, в том числе в нескольких плоскостях. То есть в 3ёх углах наклона предплечья: в гитару, паралельно струнам и от гитары. Упражниния " в гитару" (как пентатоника Зака Вайлда во втором видео) дали самый эффективный результат, так как оказалось моим самым слабым местом. Там и опора нужна, для тех самых треугольных переходов (играя четное количество нот как в обычной пентатонике) и очень мелкие строгие движения запястья, чтоб уменьшить тот треугольник до минимума - от туда и скорость. Это выробатоло удивительный контроль на сегодняшний день (увы ролик с прогрессом откладываю уже долгое время).
@@DimaPavlenko Из-за предновогодней суеты никак не удается сесть и со свежей головой спокойно посмотреть ваше видео по указанной ссылке, попробовав это все на гитаре. А пока этого не произошло хочу вас поблагодарить за столь развернутый ответ! Это такая редкость сейчас. Еще хочу отметить, что вот это ваше видео дало мне ответы на многие вопросы, но не про технику Антона Опарина, а скорей про процесс обучения как таковой. Также оно дало мотивацию не останавливаться, а то до его просмотра руки у меня немного подопустились. Прошу прощения, что отвечал так долго и спасибо вам большое за то, что вам явно не все равно! И с Наступающим вас!
I am playing guitar for more then 15 years, and I can say that on whole YT there are only few players who got the PG style: Lee Wanner, Remy Hansen... and Anton Oparin. All others are like you said not so good guitar players. Everyone can play 1 lick all day and record himself when he is "in the zone" - even then there is no dynamics in that lick... Difference between all rest and Anton Oparin is that he could play with 14 years something that even Paul Gilbert couldn't play. I've watched some of his new videos, I believe that he surpassed Gilbert in the alternate picking by mile - today Anton can pick almost anything, he doesn't need to arrange so he could start with down stroke, up stroke, or so he could have 3 notes on one string...
Thank you for the support!:) Indeed, the electric guitar world is in a very strange situation - many players but almost no adequate teaching systems. Maybe because it is still a relatively young instrument, not like classical guitar/violin/piano with many decades and centuries of accumulated knowledge. Hopefully it'll get much better soon.
@@DimaPavlenko I've subscribed to your channel, and I hope so that you will post your progress regularly every few months. Wish you the best in your pursuit for mastery of alternate picking :)
Troy Grady has broken down the wrist technique used by Anton and others. Its a mix of USX and DSX which includes anchoring the heel of the palm on the bridge and forearm slightly supinated. The DSX part is the 'Al DiMeola technique' and the USX part is the 'Mike Stern' technique. Its also called '902' technique. Troy himself plays this very well. It is same as the 'figure 8' pattern of Anton.
@@jaym8908 That's uncanny, I tried this the other day, so that the movement over the string is the center of the 8 (the loop crossover) so you keep a closed cycle of motion energy where the pick naturally avoids the strings..
@@infinitesimotel Have a look at Troy's videos especially the Andy Woods clip. The motion is from the wrist and the pinky heel is 'anchored' and acts as the centralized position to change strings on down strokes and upstrokes. the figure 8 appears only when changing strings. Hop on over to troy gradys forum to learn more about dsx, usx and dbx (double escape motions)
@@jaym8908 I will, thank you for the info. And yes the 8 would be the string change move so that you always maintain an unaltered position and extend the figure depending on the string to change to, so the centre of the 8 always naturally avoids the string..
Thank you so much for share all this comments, there are tons of videos and players and it's easy to lose yourself especially when you are trying to find the best way to improve your technique. Do you know if Anton's pupils recieve the feedback of their challenges? I've just read in his academy's web that it costs $130 for answer to their students videos.
Thanks man! :) Can you post a link to the page where you found it? I see only the regular membership plan costs in the English site version. I did Ctrl+F everywhere and couldn't find any mention of "130". As far as I know and experienced - answering questions is part of the membership.
@@alandzavalamederos1783 It looks like an alternative (which I wouldn't recommend) to the regular yearly membership (subscription). I can speculate on this and say that it's probably an offer he decided to try either because people asked him about this option or he is checking whether he can create a passive income from the material he has. I guess people think the membership is some sort of commitment (it's not, it's just there for you to use at your own pace) and assume they are self-aware of their technique enough to do it alone (I thought I was, but sadly the reality proved the opposite). So, I wouldn't recommend it even if it's an option. As he mentions in the description - you'll have to send an email and contact directly about that offer. It's not the "official school", so to speak. Maybe after you used the membership for a year, got what you came for and just want to consult or advice on some topic/lick/song or something particular.
Do you get pain in your right shoulder after a while when playing sitting? I feel more comfortable standing up when playing. Its like I have to shrug my right shoulder to be able to get the right hand in the position i need to be able to play.
@@DimaPavlenko No I've always played Ibanez. Have an AZ right now. Maybe I have my arm in the wrong position or something. It works better if I keep the guitar on my left leg so I can tilt the neck like when I'm standing up. Also do you feel pressure in your thumb now when you hold the pick like Anton told you? I try to keep the thumb completely straight now to avoid moving it while playing but it hurts my thumb.
@@GabrielSkolderblad holding the electric guitar on the right leg is definitely not ergonomic, so according to my background in classical guitar you're actually using the much more convenient "classical guitar" hold. I suggest sticking some thin cushion (like decorative couch pillows) between you and the guitar, to add some "width" between your body and the guitar. might take few sessions to get used to, or at least see if you get anything out of it. regarding the thumb pain - I suggest exploring the "reverse pick grip", the one Paul Gilbert and Buckethead used in their earlier years (and many others "straight thumb players" like Yngwie use to this day). The core idea of it is you basically hold/push the pick "against" the thumb, rather than "pressing" the thumb on the pick - that's where the pain most likely comes from. So straight thumb, even borderline "reverse", replicates this "reverse grip" effect, which translates the full wrist range into pick trajectory, eliminating any thumb ankle inconsistency. Like a flamingo standing on it's leg forever, it uses it's bone structure rather then muscles/tendons to keep it straight naturally.
@@DimaPavlenko I'm sorry if I don't understand but when I look at Antons picking he holds the pick with a straight thumb. It's not bent or do I see it wrong?
@@GabrielSkolderblad indeed, but I believe the muscles he's using are slightly different then just pressing on the pick, to explore the possibilities I felt the reverse grip presents few interesting alternatives - the main one is the reasoning behind straight thumb. on one hand you can "just keep it straight", on the other you can take advantage of the aforementioned "flamingo" technique, after comparing and trying out for few days.
Still haven't been able to get any response on any platform. Could you do a video on what you did to minimize finger movements? I've been doing my best to implement whatever free stuff he has available including stuff from this video. Or would you be willing to get on a Zoom call? I've emailed and messaged Anton a bunch of times on all available platforms.
Hey Rob, sorry to hear that:( I plan on making a summary video sometime during summer, after it I'll think how can I assist and resolve the communication issues that keep rising in comments. Anyway, the core of the video (one of its topics) is closely related to the pick grip and how it effects wrist habbits. Following several months of frustration and a very desperate moment one evening - I considered what would happen if I'll start from scratch and literally follow Paul Gilbert steps as a kid, as he always described them. Specifically, the reverse thumb grip, which suddenly cought my attention as I noticed "straight thumb grip" is a common grip in many fast players videos (Yngwie Malmsteen, Anton, Gleb Oleinik, Sergey Golovin, Max Ostro). So, that evening I jokingly reversed the thumb and tried wiggling my wrist in different forearm angles for a few minutes. Surprisingly, everything Anton was talking about - clicked. The thumb gets naturally locked, so the only thing that moves is the wrist. Also the wrist range intuitively became narrower and I got the fast motion feeling everyone was talking about. From that moment I diagnosed few additional problems - that prevented me from comfortable playing with upward pick slant (I mean the forearm rotated outside, like the Zakk Wylde techinque video I made, starting with a downstroke angle). Since then, I used the reverse grip as a reference to fix some nuances in my "regular" picking grip habbits. That moment all the dots began connecting. I want to script the video properly, as it will probably be as influential as the "Zakk Wylde 2 Notes Per String", mostly for those who spent some time with Anton exercises and got stuck at some point (both speed and comfort). As a practical supplement to his training program.
Dima! First, happy new year... Apologies I didn't see this wonderfully made video sooner! Again, damn notifications lol. Lots of great stuff you covered and I will try to keep the questions as tight as possible: 1. Wrist picking- Makes total sense but moving the wrist in ISOLATION you will hit a speed block. Has Anton gone over forearm rotation? On the same note, activating the muscle on the top of the forearm area by the elbow joint. If you make a tight fist and flex your bicep, it is the muscle that pops out by the elbow joint on top if you are looking down at your arm... How do you push to higher speeds? For my wrist player buddies, that is the muscle they activate to go hyper Gilbert speeds lol. Its a wrist rotation and elbowish muscle activation combination. 2. Pick holding- EPIC. Makes total sense and I tried it for a bit and felt nice control. Interesting you don't use what Troy calls "lean picking." Please review this post when you can- forum.troygrady.com/t/advice-reasons-why-pick-is-getting-stuck-on-the-upstroke/1223 Lean is basically having the tip of the pick parallel to the strings dead on and then rotating horizontal left or right. It helps you pick using the SIDES of the pick. Smoother edge, easier upstroke. Do you do this or have you done this? Very interested with Anton's approach to the tip of the pick slowing you down (possibly). Lean picking is different than edge picking where you turn the pick with your thumb. 3. For string transitions I will not ask the secret but I will kindly ask if the forearm is a factor in switching? For me, forearm helps me get the height/distance on the upstrokes to go from string to string. Nowhere near mastering this, but I've gotten a lot better. The only other thing I can think is to physically just move your arm up and down to maintain that solid wrist positioning? Anton seems to move his elbow area a lot. 4. Like you with University (congrats!) I am in crazy work transition life mode and do not have the time to properly give Anton. With that being said, I will beginning next year and will be a member on his forum! If you can give any kind of guidance for #3 I can work on that area and maybe tighten up things. For me, I got rid of string hopping, but my upstrokes can suck at times :) 5. Again a huge thank you. This video was super high quality and I am happy to see your progress. Playing guitar is pure happiness. Best to you...
Happy new year indeed! 1) Wrist picking speed - it’s something I was wondering about myself few weeks ago, when I thought about learning “Wizards in winter” for a Christmas cover (saw this clip ruclips.net/video/pWBjl-jPcVM/видео.html many years ago and really liked it). But it has a very fast part in it around 0:31 which might be possible to play with alternate picking. After 3 days I’ve increased the speed by just implementing Anton’s string transitions properly + shallow picking + less wide picking. Those increased my bpm from about 80 to 120 in quarter notes. But the part is about 150 bpm so we’ll see what happens next. My current thoughts are that I’m still far from my speed limit because I’m still learning and thinking about the technique, and that “fast” picking is more about “high frequency” shallow picking. In some video Paul says people ask him how he plays Technical Difficulties so fast, and he said it’s like “scratching a dog” just scratching the string (not deep picking). Anton talks a lot about forearm rotation (in its place, not “elbow picking”) and it plays a big role in the thing that I couldn’t talk about in this video;) but not much as a “picking” tool on its own like the wrist. Anton’s first lesson on wrist picking does talk about relaxing the forearm and when wrist picking - the forearm does move a bit up and down naturally. That relaxation is important to change picking directions. We “throw” the wrist in one direction, then quickly need to activate the opposite muscle to pick the other way. Locked muscles can’t provide higher frequency. Here Anton explains why the forearm is not involved directly in picking ruclips.net/video/1RjcJaAgfic/видео.html 2) Pick holding - I really liked the idea of Troy Grady’s channel, but looking back I’m afraid he did as much damage as he did good in opening people eyes for subtleties of playing guitar. I’m currently editing a new video about Zakk Wylde 2 notes per string video, and I talk about how I find “pick slanting” term misleading. If I understood “leaning” correctly, I don’t do that anymore (I think it’s at 19:34) because it changes the tone of the upstroke too much. There are 2 reasons we get stuck on an upstroke: a) not holding the pick strong enough and not supporting it with 2 fingers from below, b) doing constant upward “pick slanting” for no reason. It’s complicated in text and this one deserves a video on its own so I guess I’ll make one😊 3) FOREARM IS pretty much THE ONLY factor in string transitions. I’ll keep this answer vague, so you don’t try it on your own, because you must nail the wrist picking before you attempt practicing, and there is an exact way to practice it. 4) MY BEST ADVICE IS TO START TODAY!!! I had zero spare time as well, and if you have 10 minutes a day - invest it in proper practice starting from now. Even if I had 5 hours a day - I believe my current level would be the same, because I had to change habits and it took weeks and months. I often missed important details and it took time to get them all together. Please don’t try stuff on your own, most chances you’ll have to unlearn it as soon as you start the school. You’ll find out how much you didn’t think about - pick angles, relaxation, muting, correct wrist directions, anchor points and movements around them, etc. And even worse - if it lowers your motivation later. We need a lot of it to handle the re-learning process. In my opinion, the first lesson is the hardest and requires months. If you start today - you’ll be in a much better place. You really don’t need to make dedicated time for it, give it whatever you have, and it will be more than enough, rather than wondering around. You can post some unlisted video on your channel if you want me to take a quick look on what you feel any struggle with, maybe I’ll be able to throw some terms and ideas from the school to help. And thank you very much!
Wanted to add regarding the pickslanting point in your comment. So Troy and CTC has recently gotten away from downward or upward pickslanting for terms. If you set up your arm positioning correctly, you drop into an upward escape motion (downward pickslanting lingo) or downward escape motion (upward pickslanting). With the proper arm set up, when you upstroke you should already have the pick free and away from the guitar body to then move to the adjacent strings. So yes randomly rotating your forearm either way in your set up without any forethought as to the big picture, is kinda useless lol.
@@ASI1811 Seems like RUclips disabled their messaging system, if Facebook is fine, try sending me a PM on my profile facebook.com/DimaPavlenko1990 otherwise I'll open a dedicated public page.
How is your progress coming along these days ? If you have the time it would be cool to see a video on your progress and on that paul gilbert run. Interesting comment about the les paul btw, I was playing les paul a studio and it was like having a boat anchor on my leg. I switched to a les paul modern instead with modern weight relief and it's much more comfortable.
I'm doing great (not guitar related haha) how are you?! :) You made me find the courage to record this video - ruclips.net/video/zMz6Q_yZOu0/видео.html , sorry I forgot the Gilbert run, it gives me an idea to try Gilbert and Malmsteen neo-classical runs. Should be interesting indeed. I've been pretty much working and practicing drums mostly, hopefully to be able to record simple "full band" covers. Thanks to the pandemic wanting to be a one-man band is less weird now. Yeah I offered my friend to use my Les Paul until I'll need it for videos, to let him suffer a bit.
@@DimaPavlenko I'm doing good, even better on guitar. I finally got those 2nps licks down 100% in March when I got comfortble picking with the floating hang thing and also putting my fingers down on the guitar body, now I can do it in my sleep :) You should give some Malmsteen runs a try, that'd be interesting to see. It seems you're making a lot of progress as shown in your new video, I never had the motivation to fully learn technical difficulties haha. Your fast runs are looking good in the video and also just your technique in general. My next challenge it to get this Batio lick down at ruclips.net/video/Q9xG8_4PCH8/видео.html at about 6:04 in the video. It's the hardest picking lick I've ever seen. Drums is a good idea at least it gives you a change from the guitar. At some point I might upload a video showing my 2nps licks progress so I'll link that at some point if your'e interested.
В основном по ночам, когда было свободное время. Практически каждый день, даже если чуть-чуть. Брал в руки гитару исключительно для занятий, если потом что-то "для души бренчал" старался делать только с новой техникой, как получиться. Иначе, вредные привычки пытались вернуться. Самое главное, пожалуй, было начать первый урок, а не откладывать на более «удобный» период (если нет серьезных финансовых или семейных обстоятельств). Пока не просмотрел пособие как советуют там заниматься и не попробовал - реальных графиков думаю построить невозможно, пока не знаешь, с чем имеешь дело.
@@DimaPavlenko просто интересно, если дефицит времени, и на гитару получается выделять только 30-40 минут в день, есть ли смысл заниматься по школе Антона?
@@urisths8325 Если готовы выполнять всё в точности как Антон говорит на уроке (+ параллельно смотреть нарезки на Фейсбуке по той теме которую проходите - постановка руки, хват медиатора, звукоизвлечение и т.п) - определённо есть. Думаю, это намного больше, чем у меня было, во всяком случае если устраивает уровень на этом видео и на двух остальных с отчетами на данный момент. Скорей всего ваш будет выше, зависит от того, как привыкли играть. Мне пришлось менять всё :D но не жалею. Даже если раз в неделю мог заниматься - всё равно того стоит. Это техника оказалась очень "robust", практически каждое занятие, даже с длинными перерывами, было как продолжение предыдущего. Почти не требовалось "разогреваться"/"вспоминать"/"привыкать" заново.
@@DimaPavlenko да, самое тяжелое побороть свои привычки и несколько месяцев постоянно следить, чтоб все было правильно )) С другой стороны по правой открываются прямо новые горизонты
I'm really close to joining after watching a video on anton saying he had english versions out. I was curious though, does he ever go into depth of learning the guitar music theory and working neck? how to play chords, strum patterns, etc? Or is it just purely technical for the right and left hand?
Mostly technical. For pure music theory - I would take piano lessons from some music academy graduate. I was always interested in technical performance, and when I tried learning a bit of theory - the guitar fretboard/tuning always seem to confuse and complicate the learning. Zakk Wylde plays a piano. I think it's far more useful for song composing as well. I think professional guitarists are going to the academy purely for theory, because I haven't heard of any institute that was able to teach technical skills making Gilberts one after another.
Hey! I started at the age of 14 on a classical guitar and yesterday I turned 31 (woo-hoo!). So I guess around...pfff...17 years :D In terms of progress (based on my personal view) on an electric guitar (which turned out to be a completely differen instrument) only about 2-3 years, to date. This video was made about 8 months after starting Anton's program.
А у меня наоборот в пш все более менее удачно получается, но я не котроллирую глушку струн, кога прибавляю гейна просачивается грязь и это ужасно бесит и из-за этого меня не покидает ощущение, что я просто в корне делаю все не так, в такие моменты хочется забросить гитару. Спасибо за видео, интересная история, мотивирующая)
Глушению левой руки я вроде более-менее научился у Гилберта в школе, очень советую, а с правой мне тоже не просто. Думаю потому, что сложно сразу всё в правой правильно делать, контролировать и обо всём думать. Может со временем пройдёт, если будут какие-то личные открытия - попытаюсь снять видео.
Когда я был подписан меня интересовала только техника, и в основном там вроде были уроки по техники. Про импровизацию помню какое-то видео (возможно на его канале вообще) в духе "импровизация - это накопленный опыт, знаний теории и отработанных приёмов". И, кажется, там же было выражение "наимпровизировал? убери за собой" :D По своему скудному опыту, чтоб по-человечески начать изучать теорию на гитаре - нужно найти способ выучить ноты на грифе. Иначе это пытка. Я потихоньку начал брать уроки на пианино и это значительно проще и понятней. Даже помогло выучить ноты на грифе. Заметил, что до этого не мог перечислять ноты в обратном порядке. Развитием слуха вообще не интересовался. Не знаю чего пытаются этим достичь. Если речь об абсолютном слухе то вроде все исследования показывают, что абсолютному слуху не научиться (можно только попробывать развить у детей с ранних лет), к тому же его все теряют рано или поздно. Можно только относительному но и его нужно будет поддерживать ежедневно. Теория важней и практичней.
I didn't dive as much into Guthrie but Anton mentions him very positively. I think Guthrie's music was just too sophisticated for me :D I'm a simple man. In terms of teaching I have no idea, the instructional videos I came across on RUclips were similar to Paul's overall and I don't know whether he had any teaching platform since. If you have any insights please share!
Just came across your video and seriously considering signing to his masterclass. That being said, I've tried to find some reviews but almost didn't find any. Also - are the lessons in english?
Surprisingly, even for Paul Gilbert online school there were almost no reviews when I tried it, and I think there are still none. I wouldn’t even care if they play bad, but at least to hear what effort they have put in learning and did it pay off in any way. I guess that's because it's not a “glamorous” topic to make videos about, most people are too shy to be bad at stuff, and it’s ok. But as you noticed - it leaves us with zero information to decide. Bigger guitar channels will never bother "re-learning" their technique as well. Just now I searched for reviews in Russian (currently he is mostly known in the Russian guitar RUclips community) and didn’t find any even there. I even fixed this video tags translation now, so thank you! ^-^ The Facebook and Telegram groups I received access to, are in Russian, but I’m 99.9% sure he works in parallel with Russian and English based groups (maybe even Spanish). He seems to have dedicated public pages and groups in English, probably that’s the reason. But you’re not the first one asking so I guess they didn’t make it clear enough. There are multiple ways to contact them just to be sure. Probably on Facebook is the fastest. If you have any trouble, I can ask one of his admins on Telegram, which added me to all the relevant groups. And you can comment here in case I’m wrong. If there are no lessons in English, my video is useless😊 lol
@@DimaPavlenkoThanks for the detailed feedback. Actually I've sent an email (as requested in the official website) and waiting for answer (still none). That's bother me a bit as I was expecting it to be much more responsive by now.
@@bigbena23 I sent a message to Anton on Vkontakte (Russian facebook) with the question and that you tried contacting them, I'll let you know if/when he answers. I think he has like 3-4 people at most, running this school, and he is probably the only one doing it fulltime. So some ways to contact any of them might be more efficient than the others. By the way, I don't know if now by default you can pay with PayPal on the website, but after I payed on some sketchy Russian payment system and they contacted me on Telegram - apparently I could pay with PayPal as well, if contacted them first. I just remembered that I, myself, had doubts about joining. Took few days and a bit of patience to get started.
@@bigbena23 Hey Ben! Anton responded on Telegram few days ago, I hope they answered you by now as well. If not, and you're still into it, he said there is indeed a parallel small English based group (with corresponding lessons in English). I'm sorry it didn't go as smooth for you as it should have.
Hey, i have a little question. Is it necessary to connect joints (i dont know if this is a right word) of index and middle finger? Or connecting tips of them is enough?
Hey! The general idea, as I understand it, is that we want to control the amount of grip on the pick by applying less or more pressure on it (the deeper we pick - the stronger we must hold it). The thumb physiology makes it a natural “clamp” from above, but the index finger doesn’t have “side muscles” to withstand the side pressure. Using finger tips and connecting them starts to hurt very fast (I tried it) so I re-watched the first lesson with few other students’ answers - and the key was connecting the joints and applying the pressure from the thumb mostly on them (you can pivot the thumb a bit to the right once you hold the pick and it will natural move the pressure point to the index and middle fingers connected joints/knuckles). At least during the first year with Anton use the connected joints/knuckles support, after that use whatever works for you😊just to understand why it is used. And please, take Anton’s lessons, there were far more details than I covered in this video.
@@karolkucharski4858 I understand, though even 20 minutes a day will bring you very far in 1 year. Consider starting as soon as possible:) Good luck!!!
@@DimaPavlenko I have noticed that I had problems with some micro movements in right hand fingers like you. I feel like connecting second and third fingers all the way help me to eliminate them and make the construction overall more stable.
Уроки да, но материал был на разных ресурсах. Взяло некоторое время понять что где и как пользываться. Первые уроки был упор на хват, штрих и работа с мышцами (напряжение/расслабление). Больше мне от него особо ничего не надо было, поэтому дальше только просмотрел но не вникал. Вроде была синхронизация, динамика, и т.д.
@@DimaPavlenkoso what did you learn can you maybe give us some tips most of us don't have the money to pay for online lessons it will very good if you help us, my main goal is to play technical difficulties by Paul Gilbert he is my favorite player give me some tip please bro i can't afford for online lessons
@@DimaPavlenkohow do you keep your picking hand relaxed while playing technical difficulties while palm muting bro i want to play it btw im playing on acoustic guitar maybe thats why it's a little bit more difficult but i know one day i will be able to play it in full speed acoustic the main riff,please give me a tip with a comment or maybe in future a video ❤
A friend of mine has been trying to get into his school for some time now, I speak russian so I left Anton a few comments about contacting him. I almost had him there, but then he didnt respond anymore... Doesn't he want to make money? I told my friend to download a VPN and try it that way, since I don't know how the things are with telegram these days... Any tips on how to reach Anton? When my buddy shows me his phone, the messages in telegram seem to not even be delivered. Why is he so extremely difficult to reach??? Someone please help us, my friends a killer guitar player, I'd really love him to get this course, he's been whining about it for months xD (dude, ill pay you if you can help us reach this guy lol)
lol I guess there are some problems money just can't solve 😅 Telegram is the closest most got to him as of last months, as far as I know. Facebook is blocked in Russia, you can try leaving a comment on his russian RUclips channel under most recent video, maybe that'll poke him. I try not to get involved in it directly because it seems a recurring problem, so not to take responsibility on his behalf, maybe someone would figure out why it happens from the inside and suggest him a solution, maybe he could use a dedicated (payed) representative for his international/English speaking group. That would be the optimal solution, because it's a matter of personal habbits and time, if he's trying to run all operations alone.
Думаю на сегодняшний день большинство русско-язычных преподавателей довольно расположены и осведомлены как раз для этого. Иначе они бы были не нужны Немало благодаря Ютубу и спорам на все гитарные темы. Поэтому могу только посоветовать начать заниматься у того чья техника/стиль/музыка вам больше нравиться. Вложить там как минимум несколько месяцев. Если ощущается прогресс - продолжить. Если не особо - можно и об этом с учителем поговорить, посоветоваться. Если чувствуете, что ответы повторяются и ничем особо больше не помогают - попробуйте следующего преподавателя. Который близок к той же технике/стилю. Все объясняют по-своему, иногда одно и тоже нужно объяснить разным людям по-разному. Я был у Гилберта, Фреда, а Опарин пока последней. Даже после него пришлось покопаться самому с собой чтоб понять что мешало. Об этом сниму следующее видео.
Ну хз как насчёт хвата из трёх пальцев, противоречивые чувства возникают-посмотрите на скоростную игру Мей Лиана,он двумя пальцами держит и наваливает будь здоров.Винни Мур тоже так же.Мне кажется условно с любым хватом можно скорость наработать,время только разное на это уйдет
В плане скорости думаю так же, даже сам Гилберт на быстрых пассажах (несмотря на смену хвата в последние годы) использует свой ранний хват из обучающих кассет. Я думаю, Антон поднимает тему хвата в самом начале по двум другим причинам. Первая это динамика - возможность играть с погружением, а вторая это педагогически/техническая - как инструмент для предотвращения движений в большом пальце у учеников. В конце концов выбор того, кто играет. Я решил, что в таком хвате есть своя логика и на время обучения стоит всё-таки придерживаться программы, иначе в чем был смысл идти к тому или иному преподавателю. Ко мне обращались несколько человек про технику Закка Вайлда (из другого видео). Один из них, несмотря на упражнения, указанные в моем видео и связи по Скайпу, игнорировал их, а по Скайпу постоянно интересовался почему у него не получается сыграть разные соло. На что он рассчитывал, я не знаю. Поэтому думаю действительно нужно со одной стороны довериться, с другой стороны проверять, пробывать и задаваться вопросами почему и зачем так. На пример, недавно обсуждаемая тема с огибаниями большого пальца при переходах. Правда или миф и всё такое.
У меня наоборот проблема в левой руке, не могу нормально расслабить пальцы, даже после игры они долго расслабляются. Играю уже давно, смог достичь темпа 140-150 шестнадцатыми вроде как чистой игры, но больше, изначальное состояние типо свежих ещё пальцев левой руки, не позволяет достичь. Может изначально природняя подвижность суставов плохая. Я ещё помню у меня в первые годы игры так было, левая сильно пережата. Может кто-то поможет советом,буду благодарен. Струны я стараюсь не пережимать, в том-то и дело, пальцы изначально как будто зажаты, не как камень конечно, но и не достаточно расслабленные.
The amp gain dial is usually around 10-11 o'clock (not a lot) but I use it with an overdrive pedal. The overdrive pedal is MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive. You can see the pedal settings in the opening shot around 0:07.
@@DimaPavlenko like a Brian may tone,. I have balckstar ht 40club, but l like Marshall tones, i no have more money for this.(pelxi...), Y have mojomojo, and ts9 Your tone not bad.
@@pulidomi As far as I know Blackstar was developed by former Marshall engineers. I should also mention the ISF knob is usually close to the "British" side (maybe it was all the way there), since it feels beefier to me. I was trying to replicate Paul Gilbert tone. From Paul's interviews and the pedals he used in the early days, he likes his treble low (especially because marshalls are so harsh), so his tone is mostly mids and bass, like the amp settings in this video ruclips.net/video/3lHFeogmnuQ/видео.html He also tends to like overdrive pedals with low end eq knobs, like TC Electronics "MojoMojo" (but it's a strange one with choking sound) and his early years "AC Booster". This combination makes the sound "fatter", so even the bridge pickups sound nice and warm. I got myself an "AC Booster Comp" of Reverb.com since the original wasn't produced anymore. But I think they have new RC Booster version: xotic.us/effects/rcbv2/
Жаль не сказал как Антон переходит со струны на струну, всё остальное я и так знаю. Дай угадаю: поворотом предплечья Антон меняет направление следующего штриха так, чтобы штрих вылетел из гитары наружу над струнами, верно?
Да + много деталей и специфических упражнений. Даже если кто-то и увидит его урок по переходам - без правильной основы, толку, думаю, вообще не будет. Просто по тому, что эти переходы расчитаны на изначально оптимальное преодоление струны по прямой линии. Если базовая техника на одной струне этого не позволяет - вся скорость умрёт уже там.
Not their strongest side indeed :D as mentioned in several other comments. Sorry to hear they didn't figure out such trivial communication - answering potential students quickly. If you're still into it - I tend to suggest people to send messages on every platform possible: the official site, email, Facebook, Instagram.
@@DimaPavlenkothanks, by the way I’m try to get better too, so you keep the pressure on your lick with the right side of thumb ? And have you gotten better on the past few years ?
@@Cognitoman I got better in my opinion, but did several changes, in fact based on Paul's early "reverse picking grip". One of the changes is instead of pressing with the side of the thumb I just move it higher towards the knuckle, which simplified the grip, prevented fatigue/pain and prevented my bad habit of "clinging" the thumb to the strings. But this is just one of several modifications I made, compared to Anton's teaching flow, hopefully I'll find the time and energy to shoot an updated video.
Почти уверен, что был урок, но для этого я бы посоветовал онлайн школу Гилберта, если английский не проблема. Там он очень хорошо объяснял, показывал и отвечал многим с простыми, но очень крутыми фразировками. Я даже табы пытался записывать (ответы на урок Pentatonic Chika вроде). Эту тему можно и на Ютубе освоить, только начав с вибрато как раз, потому как бенды чуть сложней, но в принципе просто зеркальное отражение вибрато. Главное понять, что вибрато и бенды по большому производится вращением предплечья + 3 пальца держат струну чтоб не уставать. Разница только в том, что у вибрато упор запястье под грифом, у основы указательного пальца, а в бендах зеркально упор большим пальцем сверху. Поэтому «блюзовый хват» именно так и выглядит, чтоб справляться с большим количеством вибрато и бендов. Глеб Олейник утверждает, что делает бенд пальцами, но я бы так не делал, во всяком случае пока не освоил обычный. Для легато думаю на канале fredguitarist достаточно материала тоже.
Indeed, there are good people with many insights, just as a whole I felt like it was the first time someone got it all together systematically in one place. With astonishing demonstration of possibilities as well 0_0 ^-^
@@DimaPavlenko lol I wish! He used to sell individual lessons. That would have been great! Btw, I really appreciate your in depth take on his course and technique. Thanks!

У ролика добавлен перевод на русский, соответственно субтитры, название и описание. Ютуб выбирает кому, как и когда какой вариант показывать, в результатах поиска или предложений для просмотра.
4:40 well, you totally glossed over Guthrie Govan. He can actually play AND his explanations are known throughout the guitar community as nothing less than amazing. He British and his grasp of the English language and his understanding of how to play various techniques is up there. But the difference mostly, I believe, is Anton isn't gigging and isn't writing songs so.... he spends his time.... teaching. Anton is one of the best pickers there is. But I disagree with your assessment that Paul Gilbert can't teach and there are MANY great players who DO know how to teach. Ever hear of Frank Gambale?
когда ж он закинет курс по своей технике на ютуб то. все равно он на торрентах уже давно. ну или перезапишет ктонибудь) вот это будет тотальный буст всего гитарного сообщества, наверное))
Без контроля и индивидуального подхода самого антона к каждому студенту эти курсы ничего никому не дадут, абсолютно. Все это давно известно, но почему то никто в мире как антон не заиграл до сих пор.
Возможно, когда ему надоест вести школу, сможет пассивный доход от рекламы получать. Я только за, но думаю, Борис прав, во всяком случае это то что было у меня с первым уроком. Пересмотрел весь материал и прошлые видео ответы остальным - пока не отослал своё видео и не получил ответ какие детали упустил, с места не сдвинулся. Уверен, что есть и будут такие которые смогут повторить и без надзора Антона, но думаю у 95% это не получится и совершенно не связано с какими-то личными способностями.
@@borisgromov4582 без контроля я не смог скачав с торрентов его уроки. а недавно снова взялся и смог. видимо в первый заход не сильно то и хотел, но скорее всего меня прост отпугнула подача его и формат. а потом увидел увидел пару типов которые учились у него и решил вникнуть)
Есть про левую, у меня просто руки ещё не доходили :D Сейчас умею только то, что почерпнул из школы Гилберта, и иногда вспоминаю пару принципов из видео (и одного урока) от Fredguitarist про левую руку.
Я уверен, что если бы ты вёл канал на русском - то подписчиков было бы гораздо больше! Слушать русскоговорящего, который говорит на инглише с русским акцентом - это реально тяжко )))
Я понимаю, но не особо стремлюсь к расширению канала и предпочитаю быть полезным всем кто находит эти видео на гране отчаяния. Им уже всё равно кто и как говорит, так же как было и мне когда-то :D главное донести суть. На данный момент, даже если-бы я дошёл до монетизации - большая часть русской аудитории, на сколько мне известно, не приносила-бы доход. Ведь для этого подписчики обычно и нужны кналам/блогерам, каторые зависят от аудитории и её локации.
Some good stuff here but a lot of bullshit too. Plus I don’t like the whole cult thing of playing on a string until he approves before learning string crossing. That plus hiding technique is sketchy. Reminds me of the old Gracie jiu-jitsu days where they held back on what they showed their paying students. I have no problem with my students sharing what I teach them.
Most students there began from single string exercise as that's Anton's recommendation, that's how he structured his lessons. I don't recall Anton declining any question or video submission if someone chose a different own path. All of the lessons were readily available, so it could be that I represented the somewhat "Soviet" strict approach of following instructions. The string transitions are one of the marketing and selling points of Anton's school, which was smart in my opinion, yet I didn't feel he was withholding anything from his paying students. If it was an in-depth video with my own take on his technique I'd gladly explain it, as long as it really adds significant value on top of it.
Сатриани я никогда особо не интересовался, у него есть онлайн платформа уроков по гитаре? На сколько я знаю он не активен как учитель для масс, и Стив Вай единственный "удачный" ученик кажется. Что вполне можно назвать удачей, так же как учителя Гилберта никак не имеют отношения к его технике. Я всё таки погуглил сейчас "famous joe satriani students" и на этом сайте www.thecapitoltheatre.com/blog/detail/10-of-the-most-famous-students-of-joe-satriani в разделе про Geoff Tyson якобы сам Джо говорит "Satriani stated that Tyson was one of two players that "graduated" from his lessons, Steve Vai being the other", и хоть разброс в учениках по уровням у всех преподавателей действительно разный - все таки такое утверждение не самым позитивным образом сказывается на его репутации как учителя гитары. Во всяком случае для меня. И это видео только моё мнение, у всех может быть своё и все могут также поделиться им. Старайтесь вообще не принимать близко к сердцу ролики на Ютубе, этот в том числе. Учитесь так, и кого, как вам кажется правильней. Мнение и вкусы тоже могут меняться со временем и с новыми данными. Поэтому я говорил о тех с уроками которых знаком: - Школу Гилберта проходил здесь: artistworks.com/guitar-lessons-paul-gilbert и конечно просмотрел 2 части официальных слитых касет на ютубе и к каждому альбому и него тоже были касеты/DVD с разборами произведений. - У Вайлда несколько очень ранних playthrough с заметками есть, например тут ruclips.net/video/IUkM2FK_91s/видео.html, и кроме как в интервью он особо не говорит о технике. - Мальмстин на мастер-классе, котором я был за день до концерта честно отвечает, что сам не знает (фотографии в ролике снимал лично на их концертах кстати:)
Проблема Антона Опарина в том что глядя на него не хочется играть. Он скучный, домашний ботаник. Интереснее смотреть даже игру Курта Кобейна чем Опарина.
И в этом он профессионал, поэтому к нему идут на уроки гитары, а не пения, написания музыки или как выступать на сцене. Кобейн не профессиональный гитарист, он певец, лидер группы, сочиняющий музыкант. Антон технический мастер на своем инструменте, абсолютно так же, как и "музыканты" классической музыки. Они профессионалы в исполнение. У него интерес к технике, у вас к музыкальности и представлению. В конце концов Антон выбрал свой путь, Кобейн свой (результат на стене). Я понимаю почему многие так высказываются и сравнивают, но тема раскрыта давным-давно, даже fredguitarist-ом, что это разные сферы. Если бы он играл на скрипке было бы, конечно, легче понять, что сравнение не особо корректно.
@@kiborgjohn1497 Музыка́нт (от нем. Musikant, через лат. mūsicus, к греч. μουσική (τέχνη)) - специалист в области музыки или тот, кто занимается игрой на музыкальном инструменте; занимающийся музыкой профессионально или как знаток и любитель. Так что вы искажаете определение исходя из личных вкусов и зачем-то привязав технику и обучение (о чем собственно в видео только и говориться) к музыкальному материалу/шоу. С таким обобщением в конце концов человек рискует ограничить свой прогресс сам себе, поддавшись вкусу и потеряя способность находить связи и различия, как их сочитать.

@@DimaPavlenko К содалению не к профессианальным музыкантам не к просто музыкантам Антон не имеет отношения, так как открыто презирает касту музыкантов как класс (имеющих образование и преподающих) и открыто призывает не учится в заведениях (с чем я в принципе с ним согласен). А к профессанальным музыкантам его так же нельзя отнести так как он не зарабатывает на сцене. Он репетитор. А вот Курд Кобейн как раз профессианальный музыкант, не смотря на то что не чего сложного он не исполнял. Вы путаетесь в терминах и определениях.

Hi there Dima! Great video! And happy to see you are making progress! Anton is an amazing player yes! All the best, Remy
Yea, I am 56, and grew up with monsters like Yngwie, and Steve Morse . Anton Oparin, is a true master. there is just no one like him on He is the best alternate picker on the planet! just discovered him recently and that's when i realized the possibilities of what is possible with well developed universal technique. I saw what I was doing wrong in my picking. so its back to the basics. I can still play clean and fast, but just started to work on my alt picking again because of Anton. His caprices open up new doorways to solo instrumental classical guitar.
I can tell you Anton’s guitar academy is worth it. He starts from the ground up in a way that is easy to understand yet practically scientific in detail. As an American, I never used the platforms he uses before signing up with his guitar academy but it’s legit and worth it
23:30 - That reminds me of a saying I recently heard from someone: "Practice makes permament, not perfect."
I love it. In essence, whatever you repeatedly do wrong will become as permanent as whatever you repeatedly do right!
Those little freaking Blackstar amplifiers sound great! Anton is an absolute BEAST.
insightful lesson, thanks for this share
Anton is the only technically proficient player who is able to keep viewers engaged, Most of the problem with this comes subconsciously, in my experience ego is the thing that turns people away faster than anything. Yngwie is a PRIME EXAMPLE. I won't watch his videos because he talks about everything but the guitar. What do automobiles and hairspray have to do with guitar technique? He's a cliche. Destructive egos think having musicians who aren't very good in their band makes them sound better. Blissfully unaware that bands are only as good as the worst player in them. Anton knows how to meet people on their level and effectively bring them up to his level. And you are absolutely right, he is a true prodigy. A rare virtuoso and not only a master of expressing that instrumentally, but being able to explain that to the novice is Priceless
Опарин отличный учитель. Очень хорошо объясняет. Постановку правой помог исправить. Играю сейчас "костяком Опарина"😊
Dima, your journey mirrors mine. I'm a huge fan of Paul as you can see in my avatar, I actually built an exact replica of his double-neck guitar. A while back I had a lesson with Paul and he indicated that he didn't like my picking hand. He didn't mean in a bad way, just that I was resting fingers on the body of the guitar for stability. For years I could not understand how he was getting the speed using a "floating", technique. I found Andy Wood who gave a pretty decent explanation but it was not until I found Anton that I now truly get what is going on, and I am still working on it. Me being from the future of you making this video means that you must now possess the power of picking anything at will without resorting to legato. Thank you for making and sharing this video...Cheers!
Hey man! The replica looks epic! Hope you'll make a video about it. Loved the "Mini Shred" video of yours:) The pure wrist picking is a rare beast. The sheer speed/frequency of "wiggling" the wrist like Paul, Buckethead and Anton is astonishing. I'm not there yet, currently experimenting, fine tuning and testing the grip, wrist angle, and palm resting points, to isolate my weaknesses. Hopefully it will develop over time. Lately I've seen people who got decent results talking about very long wrist practice session, like 6-8 hours a day for a year straight, so I've been trying it as well on weekends. Seems to increase the wrist control and the stability, but only time will tell.
@@DimaPavlenko Thanks for the compliments! I may put together a short video about the construction of the double neck one day soon. I wanted to mention also that I am subscribed to the Paul Gilbert school with only about a week or two before renewal. No disrespect to Paul but I am now convinced that I am not the only one who did not get what they came there for, and that is the amazing picking technique. Thanks to you I will give Antons lessons a try! I've been playing for years and would love the confidence to know that my picking is available to play anything I want. Glad you are continuing the journey. Perhaps I'll upload my progress after the lessons start. Thanks again for the video, I've watched it probably four or five times now! Cheers!
Спасибо! Твоя история очень похожа на мою) И удачи!;) Интересно будет пронаблюдать за твоим прогрессом)
Большое спасибо!!! И вам успехов^-^
Anton is a beast, I have no idea how he is not more widely recognised.
Shitty music, that’s how
Es porque todavia no hizo canciones
@@JesusVarassseems like he can play anything with a picking pattern, but when it comes to writing music. He just can't.
I agree Anton is the best guitarist
You mentioned Troy missing only a couple things. Yes...straight line motion is one he doesn't teach, and also motion inflection point thresholds. (The points where rotation about a joint turns from upward to downward.) I discovered that myself. Nobody talks about that.
You mentioned that you just want to be able to play things technically correct and you don't care about feel...
Totally understand what you're saying. However, this is a massive part of what makes Paul Gilbert...Well, Paul Gilbert. He is the most passionate guitar player out there. To this day he is still excited by the most simple things, bending strings for example. Until you develop a true want for this, you will never truly be able to replicate PG!
Oh also, go check out Troy Grady.
Yeah I did begin working in parallel on proper bends the past year inspired by him, definitely a lot of fun once reach some decent control and feel for it. I really love his intonation and early blues rock stuff. I'm using "Down To Mexico" intro as one of my daily routines and I wish to cover his "Twelve Twelve" instrumental one day, there are more bends in it than notes lol (ruclips.net/video/PK3KgVw2C2w/видео.html)
Of course I know Troy's channel :)
It's been 4 years. Can you play like Anton yet?
2:23 this speaks to me so much....but i just kept trying after the 8 years your are refering to and thanks to the detailed analysis of right hand tehcniques made available by Troy Grady I feel that i'm landing somewhere the last four years. I"m my self a hige fan of PG. go and check my cover of Technichal difficulties if you feel like so
Thanks!
Hey, how has your progress been since this video? Would you like to share it with us? Also, do you still recommend Anton as a teacher?
This guy is great.
Love this video
🤘🤘🤘
Most good guitar players can’t teach. If Anton can this is a rare talent. I’m becoming interested, but I’m not good enough for his level yet.
show!! great incentive!! how can I have a class with Anton Oparini???
show !!belo incentivo !!como faço pra ter aula com o Anton Oparini???
Thanks for making this video! I really enjoyed listening to your guitar journey. I particularly loved your "I don't care about playing with 'feeling'; I just want to shred like Paul Gilbert!" sentiment! Haha, I can definitely relate to that.
You mentioned that you saw Anton Oparin's students videos pop up every now and then, and that's what convinced you to pull the trigger on his program. I tried searching for such videos, but couldn't find them. Can you please tell me where I can find videos of his students/their progress? Thank you!
Hey man! Glad to share it with everyone, we all seem to have gone through similar stuff :) Regarding Anton students’ videos, I think they were buried somewhere is the middle of some of his videos in Russian. Can't locate it right now, but I remember seeing this guy, Mikhail Popov, submitting videos back when I was subscribed to the school Telegram group:
ruclips.net/video/zJzBXjadDvw/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/6AWuddjw41M/видео.html
and I was thinking "is he seriously a student or just flexing on us?" lol. Turned out he was wrist picking for years before the school and took lessons to refine it. I don't know how much of it is from Anton vs how advanced he was. Anyway, he is still blowing my mind, although his technique does seem slightly more aggressive relative to Anton’s.
Out of the 3 most known Russian guitar community teachers (Anton Oparin, Pavel Zaburuyev, Fredguitarist), Anton really doesn't have a dedicated video of his students. It is suspicious, yet after seeing other people "flying" over the fretboard there, I can only assume that the real reason is that Anton doesn't have any "test songs" like the other two have, built into the learning program. Anton's school is strictly "lets get your technique right at your own pace" rather than "lets make you learn one lick really well so you'd think you're good at something". I classified Paul Gilbert school as the second type, sadly. My best advice is to try whatever school you think is "the right one" and don't be afraid to try others, maybe even come back. The truth is eventually somewhere in between all of them.
Few weeks ago I subscribed to Paul's school again because there is a huge collection of videos with his styled phrases and licks over there. So even if you don't submit a single video to Anton, I think the material in his lessons is super useful and worth the money and time (since it takes few days to understand how the school works, where to learn, where to submit, etc.). You'll just start noticing the same mechanics he is talking about, everywhere. Rewatching Troy Grady videos after that will be very funny ;) Different techniques are just different implementations of same picking mechanics/principles. The video I have about Zakk Wylde technique is exactly that - demonstrating and explaining how Zakk's technique implements the general picking mechanics.
@@DimaPavlenko Thank you, thank you! You've been very helpful, my man. I've subbed to the channel and really look forward to your progress and future recommendations in terms of lessons!
I will check out your Zakk Wylde video for sure.
One thing that I wanted to suggest to you was maybe trying out one of Troy Grady's player interviews since you seem to be in a great position to review them now that you've experienced and researched different teachers and their methods! I know you said it's hard to evaluate the value of Troy Grady's stuff, but the one lesson that really piqued my interest was the interview he did with Teemu Mantysaari. Teemu is apparently an excellent teacher, and Troy said that not only was he aware of UPS and DPS pre-Troy, but that he also had exercises to effectively teach both to his students. That really got me interested, and that lesson has been in my sights for a while, so maybe you can give that a go!
In any case, good luck with your guitar journey, and I look forward to seeing more of it. :D
@@MagnusGoGo Thanks man! I have one unrelated video I've been procrastinating for a year, after that one will be a summary of my journey and the last details, I had to figure out in my wrist mechanics. At this point I think I found answers to everything I ever wanted and feel like I've reached the point where I just need to practice the technique I built. I'll check him out! Part of the video I'm planning will be discussing other technical players, I'll see what videos he has related to the topic. Eventually it is up to you to just go and start taking lessons wherever it makes more sense. The trick is to just do it :D
Anton loves Paul Gilbert. That's how he developed his technique. To be able to play Gilbert's stuff. Anton focused on the mechanics behind the picking. Who could blame him? Paul Gilbert was all about shredding fast and being super precise. He's a great player to draw influence from. Also, I believe Anton took that picking info from Michael Angelo Batio "speed kills" DVD. You have to play slow the same way you play fast. That's the MAB way
When you say that you should not rotate the wrist when muting because you want to play in a straight line all the time, do you mean that you should not use pick slanting when crossing strings?
does his method includes practicing at very slow tempos?
First time ive ever heard that Paul Gilbert is a bad teacher but i agree that some great guitar players probably learned some of the key components when they were very young so it is so simple and so deep down in their brains that they don't even know how they do it. I think its hard to learn some things when older. For example you cant learn Perfect pitch after a certain age. And probably much more things than that. Ive like you also been struggling for years trying to learn how to pick like Paul Gilbert but for me it has never felt natural to hold the pick in my right hand like he does. It doesnt feel like the pick is steady between my fingers and it feels ok on some strings but mostly i cant get an angle that works on the lower strings.. So ive spent many many hours analyzing all of this and Im at the point of where you are right now so it was cool seeing your video talking about how no one have never really talked about all of these important details. I think most people that struggle with this need to analyze how they hold the pick and where they have their hand on the guitar body.
Thanks man, just searching for picking tuts for years, but couldn't find it though! Three fingers ✌technique with how to hold the guitar 🎸 is exactly what i need.. Hope i see your others opinion about this..
Thanks dude! When it comes to fast picking (or relatively fast) turned out there are a lot of details. It really depends on your needs, goals and how deep you're willing to go down the rabbit hole :D Good luck man!!!
? You are saying Paul Gilbert doesn't know how to teach. Wow. He has so many YT vids explaining his picking methods and waaaaay back in the 80s he had those VHS videos where he broke down his methods/ideas slowly so you could try and understand. Maybe you learned easier from a fellow Russian?
Thanks for the great feedback man. Was pickslanting also part of Anton’s practice routine?
Теперь я принял решение записаться к Антону. Надеюсь у меня всë получится
Деньги на ветер.
How is the playing Now after all these Years after Anton??
Jon bjork ... possibly the best or at least one of the best .
Glad I found this video. One of my favorite guitarists is Paul Gilbert. Curious what you think about Guthrie Govan?
Subbed!!!
Thank you! I’m sorry but I don’t have any opinion about him😊 Anton talked about him in several videos, I personally stick to Paul, both in technique esthetics and musical preferences. I do know he is considered a prodigy with his own unique abilities. Technique seems to be very relative to the desired results.
Dude there is a Brazilian guitarrist called Roberto Barros his posture is kinda similar.
Pls show where to keep the index and middle finger while holding the pick...coz my finger is long...thanks ..
Pls show how to use right hand technique...like holding the pick..im always at mess ..
Приветствую! Спасибо за видео, с удовольствием посмотрел. Подскажите, пожалуйста, медиаторы какой толщины желательно использовать при такой технике? Я понял, что вы предпочитаете 0,8, но что будет, если использовать, например, 1,5?
Cпасибо! Здесь я использовал медиатор Dunlop Ultex Sharp 1mm. Можно и 1.5, особо не важно, желательно покрупней. Главное держать наклон предплечья (так же известно как "играть в гитару"), таким образом интуитивно создаётся треугольная траектория переменного штриха. И проще начать играть от локтя. Запястьем (как Пол Гилберт) это отдельная тема :}
@@DimaPavlenko благодарю за ответ! Поясните, пожалуйста, что вы имели в виду под треугольной траекторией? Насколько я понимаю, при игре на одной струне медиатор ходит практически по одной линии
Извините, отвечал через приложение YT Studio, думал это комментарий под этим видео:
ruclips.net/video/XHrwSAqnj18/видео.html
Чем плотней медиатор тем сложней проходить струну, во всяком случае пока движение запястье и хват медиатора осваиваете. По своему опыту посоветывал бы не брать слишком жесткий. Для меня куда важней оказалось отработать мелкие движения запястья, в том числе в нескольких плоскостях. То есть в 3ёх углах наклона предплечья: в гитару, паралельно струнам и от гитары. Упражниния " в гитару" (как пентатоника Зака Вайлда во втором видео) дали самый эффективный результат, так как оказалось моим самым слабым местом. Там и опора нужна, для тех самых треугольных переходов (играя четное количество нот как в обычной пентатонике) и очень мелкие строгие движения запястья, чтоб уменьшить тот треугольник до минимума - от туда и скорость. Это выробатоло удивительный контроль на сегодняшний день (увы ролик с прогрессом откладываю уже долгое время).

Прошу прощения, что отвечал так долго и спасибо вам большое за то, что вам явно не все равно! И с Наступающим вас!
I am playing guitar for more then 15 years, and I can say that on whole YT there are only few players who got the PG style: Lee Wanner, Remy Hansen... and Anton Oparin. All others are like you said not so good guitar players. Everyone can play 1 lick all day and record himself when he is "in the zone" - even then there is no dynamics in that lick...
Difference between all rest and Anton Oparin is that he could play with 14 years something that even Paul Gilbert couldn't play. I've watched some of his new videos, I believe that he surpassed Gilbert in the alternate picking by mile - today Anton can pick almost anything, he doesn't need to arrange so he could start with down stroke, up stroke, or so he could have 3 notes on one string...
Thank you for the support!:) Indeed, the electric guitar world is in a very strange situation - many players but almost no adequate teaching systems. Maybe because it is still a relatively young instrument, not like classical guitar/violin/piano with many decades and centuries of accumulated knowledge. Hopefully it'll get much better soon.
@@DimaPavlenko I've subscribed to your channel, and I hope so that you will post your progress regularly every few months. Wish you the best in your pursuit for mastery of alternate picking :)
@@SrdjanPavlovic11080 Thanks man!!! I really appreciate it, I'll do my best ~(˘▾˘~)
Troy Grady has broken down the wrist technique used by Anton and others. Its a mix of USX and DSX which includes anchoring the heel of the palm on the bridge and forearm slightly supinated. The DSX part is the 'Al DiMeola technique' and the USX part is the 'Mike Stern' technique. Its also called '902' technique. Troy himself plays this very well. It is same as the 'figure 8' pattern of Anton.
SX what? Also what is figure of 8?
@@infinitesimotel USX=Upstroke Escape, DSX=Downstroke Escape. When Anton changes strings it looks like its tracing the number '8 '
@@jaym8908 That's uncanny, I tried this the other day, so that the movement over the string is the center of the 8 (the loop crossover) so you keep a closed cycle of motion energy where the pick naturally avoids the strings..
@@infinitesimotel Have a look at Troy's videos especially the Andy Woods clip. The motion is from the wrist and the pinky heel is 'anchored' and acts as the centralized position to change strings on down strokes and upstrokes. the figure 8 appears only when changing strings. Hop on over to troy gradys forum to learn more about dsx, usx and dbx (double escape motions)
@@jaym8908 I will, thank you for the info. And yes the 8 would be the string change move so that you always maintain an unaltered position and extend the figure depending on the string to change to, so the centre of the 8 always naturally avoids the string..
Thank you so much for share all this comments, there are tons of videos and players and it's easy to lose yourself especially when you are trying to find the best way to improve your technique.
Do you know if Anton's pupils recieve the feedback of their challenges? I've just read in his academy's web that it costs $130 for answer to their students videos.
Thanks man! :) Can you post a link to the page where you found it? I see only the regular membership plan costs in the English site version. I did Ctrl+F everywhere and couldn't find any mention of "130". As far as I know and experienced - answering questions is part of the membership.
@@DimaPavlenko ok, I'll search for it and post it!
Hi Dima, is righ in the description of this video, ruclips.net/video/Q_7KCB7AmgQ/видео.html
@@alandzavalamederos1783 It looks like an alternative (which I wouldn't recommend) to the regular yearly membership (subscription). I can speculate on this and say that it's probably an offer he decided to try either because people asked him about this option or he is checking whether he can create a passive income from the material he has. I guess people think the membership is some sort of commitment (it's not, it's just there for you to use at your own pace) and assume they are self-aware of their technique enough to do it alone (I thought I was, but sadly the reality proved the opposite). So, I wouldn't recommend it even if it's an option. As he mentions in the description - you'll have to send an email and contact directly about that offer. It's not the "official school", so to speak. Maybe after you used the membership for a year, got what you came for and just want to consult or advice on some topic/lick/song or something particular.
chris brooks is another one of these amazing teachers obviously.
have you mute strings from your left hand?
Do you get pain in your right shoulder after a while when playing sitting? I feel more comfortable standing up when playing. Its like I have to shrug my right shoulder to be able to get the right hand in the position i need to be able to play.
@@GabrielSkolderblad I don't after moving to Ibanez RG. Do you play a Gibson Les Paul style or any similar body-heavy guitar?
@@DimaPavlenko
No I've always played Ibanez. Have an AZ right now. Maybe I have my arm in the wrong position or something. It works better if I keep the guitar on my left leg so I can tilt the neck like when I'm standing up. Also do you feel pressure in your thumb now when you hold the pick like Anton told you? I try to keep the thumb completely straight now to avoid moving it while playing but it hurts my thumb.
@@GabrielSkolderblad holding the electric guitar on the right leg is definitely not ergonomic, so according to my background in classical guitar you're actually using the much more convenient "classical guitar" hold. I suggest sticking some thin cushion (like decorative couch pillows) between you and the guitar, to add some "width" between your body and the guitar. might take few sessions to get used to, or at least see if you get anything out of it.
regarding the thumb pain - I suggest exploring the "reverse pick grip", the one Paul Gilbert and Buckethead used in their earlier years (and many others "straight thumb players" like Yngwie use to this day). The core idea of it is you basically hold/push the pick "against" the thumb, rather than "pressing" the thumb on the pick - that's where the pain most likely comes from. So straight thumb, even borderline "reverse", replicates this "reverse grip" effect, which translates the full wrist range into pick trajectory, eliminating any thumb ankle inconsistency. Like a flamingo standing on it's leg forever, it uses it's bone structure rather then muscles/tendons to keep it straight naturally.
@@DimaPavlenko
I'm sorry if I don't understand but when I look at Antons picking he holds the pick with a straight thumb. It's not bent or do I see it wrong?
@@GabrielSkolderblad indeed, but I believe the muscles he's using are slightly different then just pressing on the pick, to explore the possibilities I felt the reverse grip presents few interesting alternatives - the main one is the reasoning behind straight thumb. on one hand you can "just keep it straight", on the other you can take advantage of the aforementioned "flamingo" technique, after comparing and trying out for few days.
Still haven't been able to get any response on any platform. Could you do a video on what you did to minimize finger movements? I've been doing my best to implement whatever free stuff he has available including stuff from this video. Or would you be willing to get on a Zoom call? I've emailed and messaged Anton a bunch of times on all available platforms.
Hey Rob, sorry to hear that:( I plan on making a summary video sometime during summer, after it I'll think how can I assist and resolve the communication issues that keep rising in comments.
Anyway, the core of the video (one of its topics) is closely related to the pick grip and how it effects wrist habbits. Following several months of frustration and a very desperate moment one evening - I considered what would happen if I'll start from scratch and literally follow Paul Gilbert steps as a kid, as he always described them. Specifically, the reverse thumb grip, which suddenly cought my attention as I noticed "straight thumb grip" is a common grip in many fast players videos (Yngwie Malmsteen, Anton, Gleb Oleinik, Sergey Golovin, Max Ostro).
So, that evening I jokingly reversed the thumb and tried wiggling my wrist in different forearm angles for a few minutes. Surprisingly, everything Anton was talking about - clicked. The thumb gets naturally locked, so the only thing that moves is the wrist. Also the wrist range intuitively became narrower and I got the fast motion feeling everyone was talking about. From that moment I diagnosed few additional problems - that prevented me from comfortable playing with upward pick slant (I mean the forearm rotated outside, like the Zakk Wylde techinque video I made, starting with a downstroke angle). Since then, I used the reverse grip as a reference to fix some nuances in my "regular" picking grip habbits. That moment all the dots began connecting.
I want to script the video properly, as it will probably be as influential as the "Zakk Wylde 2 Notes Per String", mostly for those who spent some time with Anton exercises and got stuck at some point (both speed and comfort). As a practical supplement to his training program.
Rob - Have you managed to get a hold of Anton? I have been having the same issue. Sent a few emails and tried Facebook with no luck
Try midle finger support in pick grip.
@@sinke_hr2986 lol the most universal technique indeed
@@DimaPavlenko
Yes, it's crucial for upstroke picking and string crossing.
Dima! First, happy new year... Apologies I didn't see this wonderfully made video sooner! Again, damn notifications lol. Lots of great stuff you covered and I will try to keep the questions as tight as possible:
1. Wrist picking- Makes total sense but moving the wrist in ISOLATION you will hit a speed block. Has Anton gone over forearm rotation? On the same note, activating the muscle on the top of the forearm area by the elbow joint. If you make a tight fist and flex your bicep, it is the muscle that pops out by the elbow joint on top if you are looking down at your arm... How do you push to higher speeds? For my wrist player buddies, that is the muscle they activate to go hyper Gilbert speeds lol. Its a wrist rotation and elbowish muscle activation combination.
2. Pick holding- EPIC. Makes total sense and I tried it for a bit and felt nice control. Interesting you don't use what Troy calls "lean picking." Please review this post when you can- forum.troygrady.com/t/advice-reasons-why-pick-is-getting-stuck-on-the-upstroke/1223 Lean is basically having the tip of the pick parallel to the strings dead on and then rotating horizontal left or right. It helps you pick using the SIDES of the pick. Smoother edge, easier upstroke. Do you do this or have you done this? Very interested with Anton's approach to the tip of the pick slowing you down (possibly). Lean picking is different than edge picking where you turn the pick with your thumb.
3. For string transitions I will not ask the secret but I will kindly ask if the forearm is a factor in switching? For me, forearm helps me get the height/distance on the upstrokes to go from string to string. Nowhere near mastering this, but I've gotten a lot better. The only other thing I can think is to physically just move your arm up and down to maintain that solid wrist positioning? Anton seems to move his elbow area a lot.
4. Like you with University (congrats!) I am in crazy work transition life mode and do not have the time to properly give Anton. With that being said, I will beginning next year and will be a member on his forum! If you can give any kind of guidance for #3 I can work on that area and maybe tighten up things. For me, I got rid of string hopping, but my upstrokes can suck at times :)
5. Again a huge thank you. This video was super high quality and I am happy to see your progress. Playing guitar is pure happiness. Best to you...
Happy new year indeed!
1) Wrist picking speed - it’s something I was wondering about myself few weeks ago, when I thought about learning “Wizards in winter” for a Christmas cover (saw this clip ruclips.net/video/pWBjl-jPcVM/видео.html many years ago and really liked it). But it has a very fast part in it around 0:31 which might be possible to play with alternate picking. After 3 days I’ve increased the speed by just implementing Anton’s string transitions properly + shallow picking + less wide picking. Those increased my bpm from about 80 to 120 in quarter notes. But the part is about 150 bpm so we’ll see what happens next. My current thoughts are that I’m still far from my speed limit because I’m still learning and thinking about the technique, and that “fast” picking is more about “high frequency” shallow picking. In some video Paul says people ask him how he plays Technical Difficulties so fast, and he said it’s like “scratching a dog” just scratching the string (not deep picking). Anton talks a lot about forearm rotation (in its place, not “elbow picking”) and it plays a big role in the thing that I couldn’t talk about in this video;) but not much as a “picking” tool on its own like the wrist. Anton’s first lesson on wrist picking does talk about relaxing the forearm and when wrist picking - the forearm does move a bit up and down naturally. That relaxation is important to change picking directions. We “throw” the wrist in one direction, then quickly need to activate the opposite muscle to pick the other way. Locked muscles can’t provide higher frequency. Here Anton explains why the forearm is not involved directly in picking ruclips.net/video/1RjcJaAgfic/видео.html
2) Pick holding - I really liked the idea of Troy Grady’s channel, but looking back I’m afraid he did as much damage as he did good in opening people eyes for subtleties of playing guitar. I’m currently editing a new video about Zakk Wylde 2 notes per string video, and I talk about how I find “pick slanting” term misleading. If I understood “leaning” correctly, I don’t do that anymore (I think it’s at 19:34) because it changes the tone of the upstroke too much. There are 2 reasons we get stuck on an upstroke: a) not holding the pick strong enough and not supporting it with 2 fingers from below, b) doing constant upward “pick slanting” for no reason. It’s complicated in text and this one deserves a video on its own so I guess I’ll make one😊
3) FOREARM IS pretty much THE ONLY factor in string transitions. I’ll keep this answer vague, so you don’t try it on your own, because you must nail the wrist picking before you attempt practicing, and there is an exact way to practice it.
4) MY BEST ADVICE IS TO START TODAY!!! I had zero spare time as well, and if you have 10 minutes a day - invest it in proper practice starting from now. Even if I had 5 hours a day - I believe my current level would be the same, because I had to change habits and it took weeks and months. I often missed important details and it took time to get them all together. Please don’t try stuff on your own, most chances you’ll have to unlearn it as soon as you start the school. You’ll find out how much you didn’t think about - pick angles, relaxation, muting, correct wrist directions, anchor points and movements around them, etc. And even worse - if it lowers your motivation later. We need a lot of it to handle the re-learning process. In my opinion, the first lesson is the hardest and requires months. If you start today - you’ll be in a much better place. You really don’t need to make dedicated time for it, give it whatever you have, and it will be more than enough, rather than wondering around. You can post some unlisted video on your channel if you want me to take a quick look on what you feel any struggle with, maybe I’ll be able to throw some terms and ideas from the school to help. And thank you very much!
Wanted to add regarding the pickslanting point in your comment. So Troy and CTC has recently gotten away from downward or upward pickslanting for terms. If you set up your arm positioning correctly, you drop into an upward escape motion (downward pickslanting lingo) or downward escape motion (upward pickslanting). With the proper arm set up, when you upstroke you should already have the pick free and away from the guitar body to then move to the adjacent strings. So yes randomly rotating your forearm either way in your set up without any forethought as to the big picture, is kinda useless lol.

How is your progress coming along these days ? If you have the time it would be cool to see a video on your progress and on that paul gilbert run. Interesting comment about the les paul btw, I was playing les paul a studio and it was like having a boat anchor on my leg. I switched to a les paul modern instead with modern weight relief and it's much more comfortable.
I'm doing great (not guitar related haha) how are you?! :)
You made me find the courage to record this video - ruclips.net/video/zMz6Q_yZOu0/видео.html , sorry I forgot the Gilbert run, it gives me an idea to try Gilbert and Malmsteen neo-classical runs. Should be interesting indeed.
I've been pretty much working and practicing drums mostly, hopefully to be able to record simple "full band" covers. Thanks to the pandemic wanting to be a one-man band is less weird now. Yeah I offered my friend to use my Les Paul until I'll need it for videos, to let him suffer a bit.
@@DimaPavlenko I'm doing good, even better on guitar. I finally got those 2nps licks down 100% in March when I got comfortble picking with the floating hang thing and also putting my fingers down on the guitar body, now I can do it in my sleep :)
You should give some Malmsteen runs a try, that'd be interesting to see. It seems you're making a lot of progress as shown in your new video, I never had the motivation to fully learn technical difficulties haha. Your fast runs are looking good in the video and also just your technique in general.
My next challenge it to get this Batio lick down at ruclips.net/video/Q9xG8_4PCH8/видео.html at about 6:04 in the video. It's the hardest picking lick I've ever seen.
Drums is a good idea at least it gives you a change from the guitar. At some point I might upload a video showing my 2nps licks progress so I'll link that at some point if your'e interested.

Какой у вас график занятий по школе Антона? Сколько часов в день (в среднем) и сколько дней в неделю уходит на занятия с инструментом?
В основном по ночам, когда было свободное время. Практически каждый день, даже если чуть-чуть. Брал в руки гитару исключительно для занятий, если потом что-то "для души бренчал" старался делать только с новой техникой, как получиться. Иначе, вредные привычки пытались вернуться. Самое главное, пожалуй, было начать первый урок, а не откладывать на более «удобный» период (если нет серьезных финансовых или семейных обстоятельств). Пока не просмотрел пособие как советуют там заниматься и не попробовал - реальных графиков думаю построить невозможно, пока не знаешь, с чем имеешь дело.
@@DimaPavlenko просто интересно, если дефицит времени, и на гитару получается выделять только 30-40 минут в день, есть ли смысл заниматься по школе Антона?
@@urisths8325 Если готовы выполнять всё в точности как Антон говорит на уроке (+ параллельно смотреть нарезки на Фейсбуке по той теме которую проходите - постановка руки, хват медиатора, звукоизвлечение и т.п) - определённо есть. Думаю, это намного больше, чем у меня было, во всяком случае если устраивает уровень на этом видео и на двух остальных с отчетами на данный момент. Скорей всего ваш будет выше, зависит от того, как привыкли играть. Мне пришлось менять всё :D но не жалею. Даже если раз в неделю мог заниматься - всё равно того стоит. Это техника оказалась очень "robust", практически каждое занятие, даже с длинными перерывами, было как продолжение предыдущего. Почти не требовалось "разогреваться"/"вспоминать"/"привыкать" заново.

I'm really close to joining after watching a video on anton saying he had english versions out.
I was curious though, does he ever go into depth of learning the guitar music theory and working neck?
how to play chords, strum patterns, etc?
Or is it just purely technical for the right and left hand?
Mostly technical. For pure music theory - I would take piano lessons from some music academy graduate. I was always interested in technical performance, and when I tried learning a bit of theory - the guitar fretboard/tuning always seem to confuse and complicate the learning. Zakk Wylde plays a piano. I think it's far more useful for song composing as well. I think professional guitarists are going to the academy purely for theory, because I haven't heard of any institute that was able to teach technical skills making Gilberts one after another.

so if i have a cheap guitar , or gibson or fender i will not able to play well?
hi you talk about two fingers together index , and next one, but when you play there are separate .whyor just seems
Hi, For how long have you been playing the guitar?
Hey! I started at the age of 14 on a classical guitar and yesterday I turned 31 (woo-hoo!). So I guess around...pfff...17 years :D In terms of progress (based on my personal view) on an electric guitar (which turned out to be a completely differen instrument) only about 2-3 years, to date. This video was made about 8 months after starting Anton's program.
А у меня наоборот в пш все более менее удачно получается, но я не котроллирую глушку струн, кога прибавляю гейна просачивается грязь и это ужасно бесит и из-за этого меня не покидает ощущение, что я просто в корне делаю все не так, в такие моменты хочется забросить гитару. Спасибо за видео, интересная история, мотивирующая)
Глушению левой руки я вроде более-менее научился у Гилберта в школе, очень советую, а с правой мне тоже не просто. Думаю потому, что сложно сразу всё в правой правильно делать, контролировать и обо всём думать. Может со временем пройдёт, если будут какие-то личные открытия - попытаюсь снять видео.
Рассказывает ли Антон об импровизации, теории, развитии слуха? Или там в основном техника игры?
Когда я был подписан меня интересовала только техника, и в основном там вроде были уроки по техники. Про импровизацию помню какое-то видео (возможно на его канале вообще) в духе "импровизация - это накопленный опыт, знаний теории и отработанных приёмов". И, кажется, там же было выражение "наимпровизировал? убери за собой" :D По своему скудному опыту, чтоб по-человечески начать изучать теорию на гитаре - нужно найти способ выучить ноты на грифе. Иначе это пытка. Я потихоньку начал брать уроки на пианино и это значительно проще и понятней. Даже помогло выучить ноты на грифе. Заметил, что до этого не мог перечислять ноты в обратном порядке. Развитием слуха вообще не интересовался. Не знаю чего пытаются этим достичь. Если речь об абсолютном слухе то вроде все исследования показывают, что абсолютному слуху не научиться (можно только попробывать развить у детей с ранних лет), к тому же его все теряют рано или поздно. Можно только относительному но и его нужно будет поддерживать ежедневно. Теория важней и практичней.
@@DimaPavlenko Ясно, спасибо за ответ.
Anton is incredible. What about Guthrie Govan?
I didn't dive as much into Guthrie but Anton mentions him very positively. I think Guthrie's music was just too sophisticated for me :D I'm a simple man. In terms of teaching I have no idea, the instructional videos I came across on RUclips were similar to Paul's overall and I don't know whether he had any teaching platform since. If you have any insights please share!
Just came across your video and seriously considering signing to his masterclass.
That being said, I've tried to find some reviews but almost didn't find any.
Also - are the lessons in english?
Surprisingly, even for Paul Gilbert online school there were almost no reviews when I tried it, and I think there are still none. I wouldn’t even care if they play bad, but at least to hear what effort they have put in learning and did it pay off in any way. I guess that's because it's not a “glamorous” topic to make videos about, most people are too shy to be bad at stuff, and it’s ok. But as you noticed - it leaves us with zero information to decide.
Bigger guitar channels will never bother "re-learning" their technique as well.
Just now I searched for reviews in Russian (currently he is mostly known in the Russian guitar RUclips community) and didn’t find any even there. I even fixed this video tags translation now, so thank you! ^-^
The Facebook and Telegram groups I received access to, are in Russian, but I’m 99.9% sure he works in parallel with Russian and English based groups (maybe even Spanish). He seems to have dedicated public pages and groups in English, probably that’s the reason. But you’re not the first one asking so I guess they didn’t make it clear enough. There are multiple ways to contact them just to be sure. Probably on Facebook is the fastest. If you have any trouble, I can ask one of his admins on Telegram, which added me to all the relevant groups. And you can comment here in case I’m wrong. If there are no lessons in English, my video is useless😊 lol
@@DimaPavlenkoThanks for the detailed feedback.
Actually I've sent an email (as requested in the official website) and waiting for answer (still none).
That's bother me a bit as I was expecting it to be much more responsive by now.
@@bigbena23 I sent a message to Anton on Vkontakte (Russian facebook) with the question and that you tried contacting them, I'll let you know if/when he answers. I think he has like 3-4 people at most, running this school, and he is probably the only one doing it fulltime. So some ways to contact any of them might be more efficient than the others. By the way, I don't know if now by default you can pay with PayPal on the website, but after I payed on some sketchy Russian payment system and they contacted me on Telegram - apparently I could pay with PayPal as well, if contacted them first. I just remembered that I, myself, had doubts about joining. Took few days and a bit of patience to get started.
@@DimaPavlenko thanks a lot
@@bigbena23 Hey Ben! Anton responded on Telegram few days ago, I hope they answered you by now as well. If not, and you're still into it, he said there is indeed a parallel small English based group (with corresponding lessons in English). I'm sorry it didn't go as smooth for you as it should have.
Hey, i have a little question. Is it necessary to connect joints (i dont know if this is a right word) of index and middle finger? Or connecting tips of them is enough?
Hey! The general idea, as I understand it, is that we want to control the amount of grip on the pick by applying less or more pressure on it (the deeper we pick - the stronger we must hold it). The thumb physiology makes it a natural “clamp” from above, but the index finger doesn’t have “side muscles” to withstand the side pressure. Using finger tips and connecting them starts to hurt very fast (I tried it) so I re-watched the first lesson with few other students’ answers - and the key was connecting the joints and applying the pressure from the thumb mostly on them (you can pivot the thumb a bit to the right once you hold the pick and it will natural move the pressure point to the index and middle fingers connected joints/knuckles). At least during the first year with Anton use the connected joints/knuckles support, after that use whatever works for you😊just to understand why it is used. And please, take Anton’s lessons, there were far more details than I covered in this video.
@@DimaPavlenko thanks for the answer, unfortunately i don't have as much time as i want for his school, maybe some day : /
@@karolkucharski4858 I understand, though even 20 minutes a day will bring you very far in 1 year. Consider starting as soon as possible:) Good luck!!!
@@DimaPavlenko I have noticed that I had problems with some micro movements in right hand fingers like you. I feel like connecting second and third fingers all the way help me to eliminate them and make the construction overall more stable.
У Антона уроки упорядочены? Всмысле первый урок -посадка, второй ,например, про штрих
Уроки да, но материал был на разных ресурсах. Взяло некоторое время понять что где и как пользываться. Первые уроки был упор на хват, штрих и работа с мышцами (напряжение/расслабление). Больше мне от него особо ничего не надо было, поэтому дальше только просмотрел но не вникал. Вроде была синхронизация, динамика, и т.д.
Спасибо за ответ
are you as fast and accurate like anton now?
Nope, more confident thought :)
@@DimaPavlenkoso what did you learn can you maybe give us some tips most of us don't have the money to pay for online lessons it will very good if you help us, my main goal is to play technical difficulties by Paul Gilbert he is my favorite player give me some tip please bro i can't afford for online lessons

A friend of mine has been trying to get into his school for some time now, I speak russian so I left Anton a few comments about contacting him. I almost had him there, but then he didnt respond anymore... Doesn't he want to make money? I told my friend to download a VPN and try it that way, since I don't know how the things are with telegram these days... Any tips on how to reach Anton? When my buddy shows me his phone, the messages in telegram seem to not even be delivered. Why is he so extremely difficult to reach???
Someone please help us, my friends a killer guitar player, I'd really love him to get this course, he's been whining about it for months xD
(dude, ill pay you if you can help us reach this guy lol)
lol I guess there are some problems money just can't solve 😅 Telegram is the closest most got to him as of last months, as far as I know. Facebook is blocked in Russia, you can try leaving a comment on his russian RUclips channel under most recent video, maybe that'll poke him.
I try not to get involved in it directly because it seems a recurring problem, so not to take responsibility on his behalf, maybe someone would figure out why it happens from the inside and suggest him a solution, maybe he could use a dedicated (payed) representative for his international/English speaking group. That would be the optimal solution, because it's a matter of personal habbits and time, if he's trying to run all operations alone.
У меня много проблем с техникой, стоит ли записываться?
Думаю на сегодняшний день большинство русско-язычных преподавателей довольно расположены и осведомлены как раз для этого. Иначе они бы были не нужны Немало благодаря Ютубу и спорам на все гитарные темы.
Поэтому могу только посоветовать начать заниматься у того чья техника/стиль/музыка вам больше нравиться. Вложить там как минимум несколько месяцев. Если ощущается прогресс - продолжить. Если не особо - можно и об этом с учителем поговорить, посоветоваться. Если чувствуете, что ответы повторяются и ничем особо больше не помогают - попробуйте следующего преподавателя. Который близок к той же технике/стилю.
Все объясняют по-своему, иногда одно и тоже нужно объяснить разным людям по-разному. Я был у Гилберта, Фреда, а Опарин пока последней. Даже после него пришлось покопаться самому с собой чтоб понять что мешало. Об этом сниму следующее видео.
Ну хз как насчёт хвата из трёх пальцев, противоречивые чувства возникают-посмотрите на скоростную игру Мей Лиана,он двумя пальцами держит и наваливает будь здоров.Винни Мур тоже так же.Мне кажется условно с любым хватом можно скорость наработать,время только разное на это уйдет
В плане скорости думаю так же, даже сам Гилберт на быстрых пассажах (несмотря на смену хвата в последние годы) использует свой ранний хват из обучающих кассет. Я думаю, Антон поднимает тему хвата в самом начале по двум другим причинам. Первая это динамика - возможность играть с погружением, а вторая это педагогически/техническая - как инструмент для предотвращения движений в большом пальце у учеников. В конце концов выбор того, кто играет. Я решил, что в таком хвате есть своя логика и на время обучения стоит всё-таки придерживаться программы, иначе в чем был смысл идти к тому или иному преподавателю.
Ко мне обращались несколько человек про технику Закка Вайлда (из другого видео). Один из них, несмотря на упражнения, указанные в моем видео и связи по Скайпу, игнорировал их, а по Скайпу постоянно интересовался почему у него не получается сыграть разные соло. На что он рассчитывал, я не знаю. Поэтому думаю действительно нужно со одной стороны довериться, с другой стороны проверять, пробывать и задаваться вопросами почему и зачем так. На пример, недавно обсуждаемая тема с огибаниями большого пальца при переходах. Правда или миф и всё такое.
У меня наоборот проблема в левой руке, не могу нормально расслабить пальцы, даже после игры они долго расслабляются. Играю уже давно, смог достичь темпа 140-150 шестнадцатыми вроде как чистой игры, но больше, изначальное состояние типо свежих ещё пальцев левой руки, не позволяет достичь. Может изначально природняя подвижность суставов плохая. Я ещё помню у меня в первые годы игры так было, левая сильно пережата. Может кто-то поможет советом,буду благодарен. Струны я стараюсь не пережимать, в том-то и дело, пальцы изначально как будто зажаты, не как камень конечно, но и не достаточно расслабленные.
Nice video mate. Anyway please check Roy Marchbank and let me know your thought? 😁👍

agree with you on everything, troy sucks as well
How much os your gain im amp?
The amp gain dial is usually around 10-11 o'clock (not a lot) but I use it with an overdrive pedal. The overdrive pedal is MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive. You can see the pedal settings in the opening shot around 0:07.
@@DimaPavlenko like a Brian may tone,. I have balckstar ht 40club, but l like Marshall tones, i no have more money for this.(pelxi...), Y have mojomojo, and ts9
Your tone not bad.
@@pulidomi As far as I know Blackstar was developed by former Marshall engineers. I should also mention the ISF knob is usually close to the "British" side (maybe it was all the way there), since it feels beefier to me. I was trying to replicate Paul Gilbert tone. From Paul's interviews and the pedals he used in the early days, he likes his treble low (especially because marshalls are so harsh), so his tone is mostly mids and bass, like the amp settings in this video ruclips.net/video/3lHFeogmnuQ/видео.html
He also tends to like overdrive pedals with low end eq knobs, like TC Electronics "MojoMojo" (but it's a strange one with choking sound) and his early years "AC Booster". This combination makes the sound "fatter", so even the bridge pickups sound nice and warm. I got myself an "AC Booster Comp" of Reverb.com since the original wasn't produced anymore. But I think they have new RC Booster version: xotic.us/effects/rcbv2/
@@DimaPavlenko i like the tone of 80´s paul gilbert, now is more bass in 80,s
Жаль не сказал как Антон переходит со струны на струну, всё остальное я и так знаю.
Дай угадаю: поворотом предплечья Антон меняет направление следующего штриха так, чтобы штрих вылетел из гитары наружу над струнами, верно?
Да + много деталей и специфических упражнений. Даже если кто-то и увидит его урок по переходам - без правильной основы, толку, думаю, вообще не будет. Просто по тому, что эти переходы расчитаны на изначально оптимальное преодоление струны по прямой линии. Если базовая техника на одной струне этого не позволяет - вся скорость умрёт уже там.
зайди на рутрекер, там есть некоторые видосы опарина из его "клуба", в т.ч. и по переходам

@@DimaPavlenkothanks, by the way I’m try to get better too, so you keep the pressure on your lick with the right side of thumb ? And have you gotten better on the past few years ?
@@Cognitoman I got better in my opinion, but did several changes, in fact based on Paul's early "reverse picking grip". One of the changes is instead of pressing with the side of the thumb I just move it higher towards the knuckle, which simplified the grip, prevented fatigue/pain and prevented my bad habit of "clinging" the thumb to the strings. But this is just one of several modifications I made, compared to Anton's teaching flow, hopefully I'll find the time and energy to shoot an updated video.
@@DimaPavlenko so the anton technique to hold the pick doesnt work with you? but he acceppt that? or you quite the academy?
Он же учит как делать бенды, вибрато, легато и тд?
Почти уверен, что был урок, но для этого я бы посоветовал онлайн школу Гилберта, если английский не проблема. Там он очень хорошо объяснял, показывал и отвечал многим с простыми, но очень крутыми фразировками. Я даже табы пытался записывать (ответы на урок Pentatonic Chika вроде). Эту тему можно и на Ютубе освоить, только начав с вибрато как раз, потому как бенды чуть сложней, но в принципе просто зеркальное отражение вибрато.
Главное понять, что вибрато и бенды по большому производится вращением предплечья + 3 пальца держат струну чтоб не уставать. Разница только в том, что у вибрато упор запястье под грифом, у основы указательного пальца, а в бендах зеркально упор большим пальцем сверху. Поэтому «блюзовый хват» именно так и выглядит, чтоб справляться с большим количеством вибрато и бендов. Глеб Олейник утверждает, что делает бенд пальцами, но я бы так не делал, во всяком случае пока не освоил обычный.
Для легато думаю на канале fredguitarist достаточно материала тоже.
Спасибо
There are lots of good teachers on YT. You just have to weed out the shitty ones.

Чувак, зачем название на русском, а говоришь в нём на английском? Ну ты приколист))
У ролика добавлен перевод на русский, соответственно субтитры, название и описание. Ютуб выбирает кому, как и когда какой вариант показывать, в результатах поиска или предложений для просмотра.
4:40 well, you totally glossed over Guthrie Govan. He can actually play AND his explanations are known throughout the guitar community as nothing less than amazing. He British and his grasp of the English language and his understanding of how to play various techniques is up there. But the difference mostly, I believe, is Anton isn't gigging and isn't writing songs so.... he spends his time.... teaching. Anton is one of the best pickers there is. But I disagree with your assessment that Paul Gilbert can't teach and there are MANY great players who DO know how to teach. Ever hear of Frank Gambale?
когда ж он закинет курс по своей технике на ютуб то. все равно он на торрентах уже давно. ну или перезапишет ктонибудь) вот это будет тотальный буст всего гитарного сообщества, наверное))
Без контроля и индивидуального подхода самого антона к каждому студенту эти курсы ничего никому не дадут, абсолютно. Все это давно известно, но почему то никто в мире как антон не заиграл до сих пор.
Возможно, когда ему надоест вести школу, сможет пассивный доход от рекламы получать. Я только за, но думаю, Борис прав, во всяком случае это то что было у меня с первым уроком. Пересмотрел весь материал и прошлые видео ответы остальным - пока не отослал своё видео и не получил ответ какие детали упустил, с места не сдвинулся. Уверен, что есть и будут такие которые смогут повторить и без надзора Антона, но думаю у 95% это не получится и совершенно не связано с какими-то личными способностями.
@@borisgromov4582 без контроля я не смог скачав с торрентов его уроки. а недавно снова взялся и смог. видимо в первый заход не сильно то и хотел, но скорее всего меня прост отпугнула подача его и формат. а потом увидел увидел пару типов которые учились у него и решил вникнуть)

Привет Дима! Скажите а в школе говорится про левую руку? Ставить левую руку иногда тоже очень сложно поэтому интересует этот вопрос. Спасибо
Есть про левую, у меня просто руки ещё не доходили :D Сейчас умею только то, что почерпнул из школы Гилберта, и иногда вспоминаю пару принципов из видео (и одного урока) от Fredguitarist про левую руку.
Я уверен, что если бы ты вёл канал на русском - то подписчиков было бы гораздо больше! Слушать русскоговорящего, который говорит на инглише с русским акцентом - это реально тяжко )))
Я понимаю, но не особо стремлюсь к расширению канала и предпочитаю быть полезным всем кто находит эти видео на гране отчаяния. Им уже всё равно кто и как говорит, так же как было и мне когда-то :D главное донести суть. На данный момент, даже если-бы я дошёл до монетизации - большая часть русской аудитории, на сколько мне известно, не приносила-бы доход. Ведь для этого подписчики обычно и нужны кналам/блогерам, каторые зависят от аудитории и её локации.
So how do I take lessons if I can only speak English?
Anton speaks English very well
Some good stuff here but a lot of bullshit too. Plus I don’t like the whole cult thing of playing on a string until he approves before learning string crossing. That plus hiding technique is sketchy. Reminds me of the old Gracie jiu-jitsu days where they held back on what they showed their paying students.
I have no problem with my students sharing what I teach them.
Most students there began from single string exercise as that's Anton's recommendation, that's how he structured his lessons. I don't recall Anton declining any question or video submission if someone chose a different own path. All of the lessons were readily available, so it could be that I represented the somewhat "Soviet" strict approach of following instructions. The string transitions are one of the marketing and selling points of Anton's school, which was smart in my opinion, yet I didn't feel he was withholding anything from his paying students. If it was an in-depth video with my own take on his technique I'd gladly explain it, as long as it really adds significant value on top of it.
А как же Джо Сатриани? Почему его не поставили во второй столбец второй ряд?
Сатриани я никогда особо не интересовался, у него есть онлайн платформа уроков по гитаре?
На сколько я знаю он не активен как учитель для масс, и Стив Вай единственный "удачный" ученик кажется. Что вполне можно назвать удачей, так же как учителя Гилберта никак не имеют отношения к его технике.
Я всё таки погуглил сейчас "famous joe satriani students" и на этом сайте www.thecapitoltheatre.com/blog/detail/10-of-the-most-famous-students-of-joe-satriani в разделе про Geoff Tyson якобы сам Джо говорит "Satriani stated that Tyson was one of two players that "graduated" from his lessons, Steve Vai being the other", и хоть разброс в учениках по уровням у всех преподавателей действительно разный - все таки такое утверждение не самым позитивным образом сказывается на его репутации как учителя гитары. Во всяком случае для меня. И это видео только моё мнение, у всех может быть своё и все могут также поделиться им. Старайтесь вообще не принимать близко к сердцу ролики на Ютубе, этот в том числе. Учитесь так, и кого, как вам кажется правильней. Мнение и вкусы тоже могут меняться со временем и с новыми данными.
Поэтому я говорил о тех с уроками которых знаком:
- Школу Гилберта проходил здесь: artistworks.com/guitar-lessons-paul-gilbert и конечно просмотрел 2 части официальных слитых касет на ютубе и к каждому альбому и него тоже были касеты/DVD с разборами произведений.
- У Вайлда несколько очень ранних playthrough с заметками есть, например тут ruclips.net/video/IUkM2FK_91s/видео.html, и кроме как в интервью он особо не говорит о технике.
- Мальмстин на мастер-классе, котором я был за день до концерта честно отвечает, что сам не знает (фотографии в ролике снимал лично на их концертах кстати:)
Жаль, что не на русском😒
Проблема Антона Опарина в том что глядя на него не хочется играть. Он скучный, домашний ботаник. Интереснее смотреть даже игру Курта Кобейна чем Опарина.
И в этом он профессионал, поэтому к нему идут на уроки гитары, а не пения, написания музыки или как выступать на сцене. Кобейн не профессиональный гитарист, он певец, лидер группы, сочиняющий музыкант. Антон технический мастер на своем инструменте, абсолютно так же, как и "музыканты" классической музыки. Они профессионалы в исполнение. У него интерес к технике, у вас к музыкальности и представлению. В конце концов Антон выбрал свой путь, Кобейн свой (результат на стене). Я понимаю почему многие так высказываются и сравнивают, но тема раскрыта давным-давно, даже fredguitarist-ом, что это разные сферы. Если бы он играл на скрипке было бы, конечно, легче понять, что сравнение не особо корректно.
@@DimaPavlenko Вы все перепутали, как раз Кобейн был профессианальным музыкантои а Антон частник дающий уроки. Это разные вещи.

Так что вы искажаете определение исходя из личных вкусов и зачем-то привязав технику и обучение (о чем собственно в видео только и говориться) к музыкальному материалу/шоу. С таким обобщением в конце концов человек рискует ограничить свой прогресс сам себе, поддавшись вкусу и потеряя способность находить связи и различия, как их сочитать.

А к профессанальным музыкантам его так же нельзя отнести так как он не зарабатывает на сцене. Он репетитор. А вот Курд Кобейн как раз профессианальный музыкант, не смотря на то что не чего сложного он не исполнял. Вы путаетесь в терминах и определениях.
