So allot of teachers want you to loop the index finger instead of pointing down. I naturally point down the pick like your showing but when your index finger points down I get index finger contact with the strings at times of fast power cords or playing irritating my index finger is this normal? When I loop the index finger I don’t get this contact but it seems less natural … please advise!

You do a really awesome job and I’ve lowkey really been hoping for a Patreon at some point so count me in 🎉

So many bots in these comments! Your intro bends and tone are not convincing me that your advice is worth my time. I skimmed the video but I'm pretty sure you didn't mention reinforced bending, which is absolutely criminal. If you want to show people that you really know how to bend then try showing some David Gilmour licks instead of these little vibrato bends.

Audio balance not amazing. I need to get like a 2nd monitor whole streaming setup etc. You can still learn a lot from this because I'm commenting on every error made! Hope it helps!

Was looking at videos. Some say letting your fingers hang is not ok. I tried other ways but that doesn’t work for me. I also anchor my pinky. Trying other ways feels detached from my fretting hand if that makes sense. It feels weird. Was teaching my daughter some chords. Wanted to see if my way of holding the pick is the right way. It’s hard to get rid of bad habits. The part about the bridge is more a preference I think. I am used to Les Paul. Tunomatic bridges need more space. With your wrist on the bridge it’s quite comfortable. I prefer it over strat type.

Absolutely Love your videos, very informative and educational, Thank You !

Thankyou...! Your video has changed my everything. Amazing information. I try to tell people about your plans and how much it has improved my guitar playing. They all think they already have the best habits. To bad for them...Yay for me.

Do you HAVE to practice with pinky finger? I haven't seen many solos bending with that Thoughts?

When you bend down do you use the inside 3rd of the finger and the outside 3rd when bending up? This seems natural to me

What an excellent review. You pointed out many things that most rewievers would forget to mention. Chapeau!

love the shirt

Nicely done Matt! Music done Wright! (see what i did there lol) 😸

tab is wrong for the first arp C major. should be 20th fret on high e string ;-)

ya none of this works for me. small bulky hands.broke my thumb 3 times. severe carpal tunnel both hands. i can only baseball bat hold. i cannot touch the low E with my thumb.

Excellent video packed with helpful tips for a new and intermediate and maybe even accomplished guitarist. Definitely going into my watch later pile so I can give it more of a critical eye and ear

very helpful... thank you so much for the insight.

this video is awesome the exercises are difficult for me tho due to having small hands hahah i think my pinky is half of his pinky but yeh i am not giving up thnx for the video

maybe no delay when demonstrating this 😅

You really do deserve a lot more subscribers, I am glad I found this channel, thanks for all the information! Your bending video was really insightful for me as well.

My biggest issue is when trying to tune between drop tunings and standard tunings. JEEESUS I need to retune my guitar like 50-100 times before it stays remotely in tune if I try to go to drop tuning. Not viable to do this live.

Very informative, sir ! That's why I switch to headless guitars, to kill the headstock string issue permanently .

This video is so detailed and I'm still very proud of it a year later, despite the little audio issues. (I always believe the true knowledge seekers will see past this). A lot of production lessons learned for me in this video. 🙂 I still use the same exercises with my private students and we still get the same awesome results.

Very nice. :)

I always wonder how some amaxing players have their thumb bent, knuckle down, C curve, Miyako from LoveBites comes to mind (for shredding) I tried that grip and it is like going across the grain cause of the pick tilt. Mind blown at how some people can play that way

What made you choose the Kemper over the Quad Cortex? or, said another way, was there a reason you didn't choose the QuadCortex?

Hi agree with everything, basically, but you forgot to address one important thing. You are resting the guitar on the wrong leg. It s easier to play sitted with the guitar on the left leg, that s the classical and correct way. I use right leg also like you if I am strumming, but in a in a classical piece , the guitar on the left leg allows you to have a much easier access to the fretboard and yo also don t strain your right shoulder. :) Good video man, and great advice for people who need to improve.

Excellent video!

I use fretwraps to store spare picks.

My ears preferred the DiMarzio pickups in the Sterling. My ears tend to like pickups with good low-mids. My favorite pickups are the DiMarzio PAF Masters

Many thanks for the great explanation!

how should i anchor my wrist in a gibson les paul? or an acoustic guitar? great video btw

hey could you make a video on how to do both picking techniques correctly or any guidance, i’ve been trying for so long and can’t get usx correctly. btw well done for the effort into usx and dsx it’s so shocking see someone do it

Thank you. This is 25 minutes well spent - packed with information, fully and clearly explained, very much appreciated. 👍

There's normal picking for people like us, and this is the video explaining it. Genius like van halen , marty Friedman etc has their way because they are freaking out of this world.

One company wants to force you to pay for updates after they purposely kept their device limited when they didn’t need to in the first place. The other company is renowned as the most realistic modeler and sends out updates FOR FREE. This is why I will ALWAYS be a Fractal user.

Best one out there!!!

The kemper us still no 1 out there.

I'm a beginner. I've been practicing with an acoustic guitar for about a month now. I have a beginner guitar book and the Yousician app. I also watched a few other TH-camrs that were recommended through online searches. The way you explain how to bend the rules, not break them, lets me know I'm on the right track. Thanks for filling in what I was missing. Not looking to shred on acoustic. Building better form

THIRD TIME watching this video, trying to break the 30 years of bad habit formed playing with an extreme incorrect left-hand position. Thank you!

I love my Kemper with paid profiles (e.g. MBritt). I am just using 2 additional effects to be completely fine. I do not see any chance to change in the near future.

how do you mute the string above the note you bend ? its like i keep hitting it and when i let go of the bend its ringing.

5:40 John is describing exactly what's happening with my JP100D but I dislike having to play with the whammy bar to get it back to tune. So I'm thinking of putting a wedge at the whammy block to keep it from bending back. It only goes out of tune if I bend back, not forward. I wish there was another fix. that's why I came on here
