First, you gotta get speed. Demon speed. Speed is what we need. We need GREASY, FAST, SPEED - Mickey (Rocky II)
your picking hand is phenomenal...the economy of motion is like none i've ever seen...even more efficient than yngwies'...that's the trick...
You're gonna eat lightning and crap thunder!
It is sooooo good to see you on here brother!!! Its pure joy to see you play!!!

Hi Rick do you use pickslanting?
This is the type of exercise that makes roommates and wives hate living with a guitarist.
Just keep it unplugged for this stuff. It use headphones
What about husbands
TRUTH!
Headphones
well depending on how u use these exercises the wife may not mind 👀
Rick, you're entering my life at the right time
"........... .sorry....thought you wrote wife.....sorry.
Hopefully not from behind

Rick is the ONLY TH-cam guitarist that I watch on a regular basis. I don't see that changing before I die lol.
he's certainly really good, and the lessons r very useful
He is definitely a phenomenal player and educator. Ben Eller is also quite the entertainer and teacher as well!
Another excelent work Rick🤘🤘🤘🤘🖤
Check out Roy Marchbank!
i'm in my 50's. I've been playing since 13. I'm fast and proficient but sitting at this wall for years now. This lesson is incredibly important for many of us out here. Thank you. God bless you Rick.
Evil Bach must be the secret to speed xD, thanks Rick!!

Recently started taking solo work seriously instead of just noodling and your warm ups have really been helping pinpoint weak spots in my playing. Really appreciate how you break things down and give good exercises to work on. Thanks dude.
Really nice to have Rick back semi-regularly in my youtube feed! Missed these lessons.
I have you to thank for for making my finger joints extremmmmmmely sore due to the fact that you’ve inspired me to practice for hours on end like I used to when was a kid.
You're an all-timer, Rick. More albums, please! Love your right hand.. so articulate!
this lesson is helpful for sure
Amazing lesson Rick. So, so simple yet I’ve over looked that Complete isolation of the problem areas. Practiced it slightly while you were showing and I immediately felt a difference. Thank you sir. 🙏
Thank you Rick for making a good job by teaching us in a good way!
My plateau is 16th notes at between 170-180 bpm...about 220 bpm for triplets. I can't wait to put these training techniques into practice. Thanks for the inspiration, Rick! I can't wait to see more of your videos regarding getting faster.

Agree ! But Rick Agraham Lincoln is british 🤣
I was literally about to send you a message with questions on string crossings and then you post this, thank you for reading my mind Rick!
Thank you for a great reminder to break things down into small chunks. Well done.
Thanks your Eric Johnson "Cliff of Dover" helped me a lot and now you're sharing this, you're the Man Rick, thanks
I like your discipline on the guitar Rick - it certainly pays off in a spectacular way.
thank you so much! you simply showed me this. i ran into too many people like mike angelo, that constantly shows off his speed, confusing me,. instead of simple, slow, and understandable.i guess some people have been so good for so long they forget how to slow down or talk basically to help people that are starting out. but you havent! ty again rick!
LOVE YOUR TEACHING STYLE.
Thank you, Rick for your videos! Such a great guitar content!
Thanks for the video, Rick! In 10 minutes you teach more than more teachers in 10 years!
This is an awesome lesson! Love it! Looking forward to more from you.
Oh man... I needed this so much!
Thank you!
Rick I'm so glad that you are doing EXTREEENLY WELL MATE! Love that new guitar too! From Fla. USA, get a band come on over!
i needed this right now
Great focused lesson Rick, Thank you.
Awesome tips, simple and efficient! Ty!
Love your teaching. I do have one request. Can you turn down your guitar volume so it is lower than your speaking voice?
The thing that helped me out the most with inside/outside picking was learning Glasgow Kiss (using strict alternate picking like Petrucci). The main riff is almost entirely inside and outside picking across strings as long as you use alternate picking.
Now, Where were you when i was 15-16 years old Rick???! 🤷🏻♂️. I could have practiced less. Progressed more.
Bless you 😄
Nothing like finding a Rick Graham video I missed. 🤘🏻😄🎸
Brilliant lesson. Right hand technique is something I really want to improve. I've watched a few videos from various sources but none have clicked like this one. Cheers!
Excellent! Great advise regarding focusing on the problem areas. Thank you Sir for all of your great videos :)
Rick Graham...one of the best technical and melodic players to grace the platform of youtube...is playing two notes...TWO! Lol Love you Rick 🤣
Thanks Rick! That was really helpful. Again, cheers.
Great lesson....this reminds me of some Paul Gilbert tips I saw years ago... I still suck at this stuff!!!
Great lesson thank you!
Beautiful guitar!
On a video, I heard you say relax. It sounds silly, but I was never relaxed. It's like a boxer who tenses his arms to throw a punch. You lose a vast about of speed. You also become tired, faster. I'm not a great guitarist and probably never will be but your tip to relax has been one of the greatest tips I've ever had. I'll also start incorporating these exercises and we'll see what happens. Thanks!
You sir are a great guitar teacher I will put your tips to use when I get more skills I will be taking you up on the Skype lessons! 👍🏾
This is a brilliant exercise
Muy bueno Rick!! Saludos desde Argentina 🎸👍🏼
Lol love the switch at the end of that run. I really didn't know you could alt/econo pick that fast..thought you were a legato guy! I am impressed.
Ah. Methinks this is more than can be done as one Ricky’s Quickies and mostly qualifies as one of Ricky’s TRICKIES.
Good Lordy thanks for returning
Surprisingly difficult to go between them like that. Thanks Rick, nice video :)
This is excellent, mate! Cheers!
Great lesson as always!
Thank you very much
this is very good advice and you will make me a better guitarist thank you
omg, awesome playing man.
Thanks For the great lesson💜🤘
I’ve noticed an important difference between economy and alternative picking.
Altenate picking is all about the continuous motion of whatever joint(s) is in use. The main challenge is accurately changing the down/up slant of the pick, to enable outside and inside picking. But the important point is that it is a fluid down/up with, in most cases, the wrist.
Economy picking, and I think this is very important, is NOT a continuous motion. It’s a start/stop motion. An example, 3 notes per string ascending.
- down (movement)
- up (movement)
- down (movement and stop)
- down (no movement)
- up (movement)
etc.
Since you can’t start/stop the entire wrist like that, there is simply too much momentum, I’ve noticed most, if not all, economy pickers are using finger motion (circular picking) instead of the wrist.
It’s very obvious in Rick’s playing. Slow examples seem to use the wrist more, but as soon as he speeds up, it’s entirely the fingers moving the pick.
It seems to me this aspect, the importance of finger movement in economy picking, is completely overlooked in instructional videos. I doubt those using the techniques are even aware that it’s not just their particular approach, but possibly a requirement for mastering economy picking at all.
amazing point. 100% correct
@@Ibanezguy2007
Thank you. I wish Rick had noticed my comment, I would like to know what he thinks. Personally I’ve given up on economy picking for now, if I’m right it’s not just about mastering the sweeping motion, but an entirely different way of moving the pick through the strings.
The truth has been spoken.
Thanks Rick. I was going to ask if you use dotted rhythms in your sweep picking practice in the last video but I didn't leave a comment, so I'm happy to see this mentioned here. I've found them particularly helpful in that area.
Thank you sir❤
Thank for all your awesome videos, Rick.🙏🏼
Thanks for all of YOUR awesome videos, Andy!
Bravo maestro 🤘🏻
very helpful lesson, Rick, thank you so much!
I tried to keep up with you, but my right wrist started hurting very quickly..
I think I'm a great example for what happens when you don't stretch your wrists..
Guys, make sure to stretch regularly! Take care everyone, stay safe

Reminds me of the transitions between the base riffs on Technical Difficulties 👍

Eco mode is where the speed is at!!
This is really useful advice for me at the moment.. all the parts I want to play, I'm stumbling at the string changes..
Best lesson I've seen in ages

great lesson! thanks
Cheers from Guatemala City!!!
Thanks Rick! I hope you're doing well 🙏🏼
That planting move you do also works with learning sweeping I believe.
Awesome
nice lesson man! I learned something for sure.
You are the playing GOD
Thanks for all your awesome videos Rick. Really appreciate your content! Forgive my ignorance with this next part...could you possibly create a short video simply showing different angles of your pick grip? I know it’s a silly request, but I can’t seem to find any videos of shredders simply explaining their grip on the pick. Does the pick come out perpendicular to your thumb? Slight angle pointing towards the nail? Slight angle pointing towards the wrist? How much of the pick is showing? etc...I feel like that would be super helpful and inspirational to lots of hopeful shredders out there. Keep up the great work!
This helped me realize that my inside picking is garbage, so I'll know what to work on.
That really helps.
I very much enjoy your tracksuits, also your guitar playing lmao
Hi Rick,
I watch your channel since some years. I think I started in 2016 (or 15?). Watched also your body transformation video.
This is a very essential excercise I was looking for a long time! Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge! I am actually an educated classical pianist who always liked to play guitar besides, but I could not find the time to build up my skills as a guitar player. I am very close in playing "Cliffs of dover in full speed" but still have some difficulties. Besides, that I also played "Eruption" quite well. I still suck in improvisation! That is my state of guitar skills. I developed a greater desire in the last years to become able to play well guitar in a band. Still don´t know which style. Blues might be essential. I allways thought of taking a lesson with you, just to get the best direction. Basically I want to teach myself, but I want to take from time to time a lesson, to get a more effective result.
I am working as a sound engineer in theatre and musical, but I make a training for IT right now.
Hope to take a lesson with you one day!
Regards

Hey malte, ich bin zwar nicht rick aber ich denke du solltest vllt mal jazz und jazz fusion guys wie tom quayle, martin miller, govan und vor allem greg howe abchecken. Schau dir an wie deren lines und phrasen aufgebaut sind und Versuch jede phrase auf kleinere Elemente/bausteine herunterzubrechen. Dann kannste die in der improvisation anwenden. Ansonsten check mal jens larsen ab, der kann viel dazu sagen wir man skalen lernt etc. Davon ab, du kannst praktisch in fast jeder musikrichtung shredden, vorallen jazz fusion, neo soul/ rnb und funk. Hoffe das hilft
You are the best…
awesome!
Really useful nuts ‘n’ bolts lesson. Thank you, sir.
I like the bit that sounds like the rail gun on a A10 Warthog. Genuinely. Rick, you're a phenomenon - and a great teacher. Thanks.

Hey rick just wanted to say that you should get on stage get out there more than you are! Because just like Eddie Van Halen rest his soul. Your truly gifted as a musician and a pioneer in new was and really could change the world with your playing ❤️
Thank you very much, Rick! I don't really aim too high, I'd just like to be able to play 16th notes at 160/170 bpm without generating tension. I've been locked at 130/140 bpm for a long, long time, hope this helps!

Glad you're feeling spiffy man!
Muy rápido para tocar mucha presicion grande rick
Sick bro
Great lesson. But besides the picking hand I find that I have this issue of lifting my fingers on the fretting hand to high up when I await to fret the next string or next fret position.
Thanks, Sir!
Very, very helpful!
I read the next article:
"A primate's ability to pay attention to, or tune out, particular sights and sounds is crucial for success and survival. Researchers looked into monkeys' eyes for insight into how the brain processes distractions. They found that neural activity and changes to pupil size in response to distractors can predict how well the brain helps focus on a goal."
Nice guitar.
My focus for this week.
it's a useful lesson def
Thank you. A video for shredding and hybrid picking please
I need hybrid picking lessons also. I cant seem to find any useful ones here yet
Great and a super close up video would also be helpful
This is awesome Rick! Love it. What tips do you have if you do these exercises but double pick the each note while crossings strings? I find this extremely easy to mess up. At slow speeds it’s easy but not very “interesting”, however, at higher speeds it becomes super easy to tumble all over, having notes ring out when they shouldn’t or miss a couple of notes. Any tips to tidy this up or clean it up will be very appreciated!
I was hoping this would be a chemistry lesson in synthesizing adderall
i don't know if rick does videos on that lol
Beat me to this comment haha

That's if you want to pick every note. I one pick roll fingers. Fingers stay close. Finger strength is important, what I do with 1,2 and 3, I do the same with 2,3 and 4. Also a finger spread exercise to stretch the muscles in the web of the hand. I practice with .10 play with .09, lightning.
🔥🔥🔥
5:18 Yea... I can play that!
Good vid
That’s a great advice to train speed with just two strings and then move up to the full scale. Whenever I try to speed up, the first two strings go smooth as Legolas surfing on a giant elefant, but when doing the rest of the scale it all goes Uruk Hai on steroids. 😬
i love the bach demon eyes
