Super clean Roy, virtually no pick sound too. I know the action on your electrics is super low but my goodness, that’s not the case with these acoustics and you’re still fast as lightening!!!!
Hey Roy, man I just discovered your channel and am an instant fan. I've been really delving into different types of picking techniques, and your bridge technique overcomes the problem of strings flapping about. I like that you designed a pick to compensate for the tone loss inherent in that technique. Mindblowing stuff, man! I look forward to checking out more from you. Cheers!
I hope you realize you're opening a new era in guitar community: there will be a before/after Roy Marchbank. Your technique is incredible, unbelievable. Now please write something that will mark all minds - a "hit" or whatever, - so that more people can enjoy your skills. Respect and cheers from France!
Hey Chris. Thanks man! I also have some music written available to listen here on TH-cam. Listen perhaps to Lucky Ferris or Flymans Knuckle or visit my website roymarchbankguitar.com for more. Thx for your positive comment, your support is much appreciated. Also .... look out for the news on an exciting new music series from Team Shawn Lane...Coming soon!
Hi Joe, your most welcome and a big thanks to Ed! You can read about the phatbhoypick and order through my website- roymarchbankguitar.com. I look forward to getting a pick to you. Thanks again for the support!
That's great and let's say unique stuff as always - thank you! Personally I'd like to incorporate some speedy nylon string stuff in to my music, but seeing that those strings on my poor old gut-stringer are trying to win the highest action award, I think it's not going to happen - then again I might be able to sweep with it.... I mean the floors! Cheers!
This is incredible! Picking aside, your fretting hand looks so efficient. Watching your electric stuff, I just assumed that your action was set so low as to allow you to clear the strings with the smallest amount of movement possible, but you don't seem to lose any speed with the higher action on the acoustic! By the way, what's with the lower horn on your guitars? Does it improve the weight distribution for you?
Cheers! I started cutting the bottom horn off my guitars around 30 years ago. I realised when I played 4 note per string phrases on the low strings above the 12th fret, the side of my fretting hand was always hitting the bottom horn. So I reached for the wood saw, cut it off and reshaped. Best move I ever made. I now have all my electric guitars shaped the same way. On my fretting hand technique. I’ve been working a system on economy of motion for as long as I can remember. The idea is to get the hand so efficient it doesn’t look like it’s moving much at all. Much more on this and Hybrid Sarod picking in future videos. Thanks for the support 😎🙏
Hi there, You are on the money! It’s exactly for those two things. I designed a 10mm pick with speed bevels to help alt picking (specifically the uppick) but also to compensate for the Bass lost picking so far back at the saddle. I also noticed if you pick far enough back at the saddle using a thicker pick the chirp almost disappears . The idea is to feel relaxed as alt picking is quite a cumbersome technique. Thx for the Q and positive posts bud! Slainte!
ahahah MONSTER!!!!! great choice the acoustic so no "stories" !!John Mclaughlin is gonna call You for some picking lesson ...ROY , .the fastest good guitarist on the planet !!!different pick ??
Same thickness buddy but the indentation in the centre of the pick is deeper for better grip so it makes it look thinner, especially when the material is acrylic . The deep indentation is a new feature on the design 😉
@@LawofThree AH ok THANKS for the info , this is sounding very interesting to me , please post info about it , i could tryit if you are selling them of course
You make this look so simple. Great camera angles, so clear and informative!

That's some CLEAN alternate picking, MAN
Just got turned on to your music. Can’t believe I haven’t come across you before! You’re unbelievably brilliant.
Wow. Such clean, crisp playing, even with the action pretty high!
Love the camera angles! Amazing picking as always!
cheers mate 🍻

Wow Roy, Ed DeGenaro turned me on to what you are doing. Thanks for giving us insight into your unique approach. Still want to try a Phat Boy

Cheers Kurgle! Get that bad boy to a luthier to sort the bridge out 😉 thx again for the support, much appreciated!
@@LawofThree Hah haa I think the poor guitar is beyond even the best luthier's help! Perhaps a new guitar...some day! Cheers!
Is that clear pick a new version of that phatboy? Consider it bought!

wow! subscribed!
are you picking so close to bridge for the tension in the string or the tone ? i enjoy picking further back but never seen this close.

Django is proud.
Hey Roy! Looks like your phatboy is now made of that stuff like a vpick?!
I’m experimenting with acrylic for the new Hydra pick Christoph.The phatbhoy is a tricky design to get right with this material.
@@LawofThree you making them in delrin now? Definitely the best material imho
@@patcampbell3570 Yes absolutely no doubt about it 👍
@@patcampbell3570 Yes absolutely no doubt about it 👍
What in the world are you picking with, Roy? Looks like a dadgum marble 😆
