  • In this lesson I cover a few key points to answer the FAQ “How do I get faster?”
    1. Picking radius
    2. Chromatics and Pentatonic exercises
    3. Avoid economy picking in early stages!
    4. Metronome and pulse especially for triplets
    5. Pick choice/choosing the pick for you
    BONUS TIP: Tone clean or distorted?

      Frank Gambale has a video where he uses economy picking and sweep picking as opposed to alternate picking and if you are advanced enough that's fine, but if you are in the beginner stages i would do as Chris advises us and pay attention to use alternate picking exclusively.. It can take many years to if not a lifetime to pick like Gambale so i choose not to put the cart in front of the horse!

    Excellent. I frequently have friends or their kids asking me for advice on learning to play. I unfortunately have zero patience (a flaw, I know). I usually recommend checking out YT videos, but now I'll specifically turn them on to yours. From one player to another, you not only have gifted skills on the fretboard, but also as a communicator/teacher. Hats off to you!

  • @kenlelon369
    @kenlelon369 9 лет назад

    A very good attempt indeed at the space-age-old problem of helping the masses shred. The most impressive lesson you teach me is just observing how relaxed you are, seeing no tension at all to restrict anything. Thanks for taking the time. BTW, the super-imposed tab gives your lessons the edge. More old school, please! LOVE IT!
