The one tip you gave and the other video or this video was make sure to lift up your index finger and now I'm having the same problem I'm having with the pinky of not keeping it completely open and trying to keep everything close to the board as possible. Although I definitely see what you're saying cuz it is like I'm was anchoring my finger before which really definitely made it a lot more cumbersome I figured we just overcome with time but it does really change up your playing my lifting your index so that's a positive testimonial right there for a free guitar lesson
My biggest enemy is consistent practice. I struggle with inspiration and having energy to play. One day I’ll play 6 hours and not want to put the guitar down but the next 3 days I wont play at all. It’s a very toxic habit I wish I squished right when I started playing guitar 6 years ago.
That means you're what we call an "artist." An artist needs inspiration. In my youth I was in a band. We often got bored of "practice" so we changed to a jam session. Meaning freestyle improvisation with guitar, drums and bass. 2-3 people playing together but playing whatever they feel like playing can be really fun as long as it's all in one key.
@@jdogdizzle8473 that’s exactly what I do with my band now, but I wish I put less practice into guitar hero and played rocksmith instead 😂 but actually rocksmith isn’t the best way to learn songs because the way it works can teach you toxic finger shapes, but their technique teaching is great. Taught me how to properly bend along with teaching me scales. Jesus Christ I should probably get ADHD meds
I almost dropped it completely after only playing a year in 2004 and it sounds like your going through the same thing I went through..Mentally you’re telling yourself I need to practice more and I’m not good enough, when in reality you should be approaching the guitar the same way you did on the first day you ever played because that feeling of mystery and excitement of learning and not knowing what to expect but all you do know is you wanted a guitar to play and that’s all that mattered! That passion and love never goes away and you still have it in your soul and heart but mentally your mind is giving you a hard time and making you think of guitar now as a chore instead your place to get away and actually be happy and at one with the instrument..instead of being excited to pick it up when you see it your mind automatically says well that means I’m gonna have to practice for 2-3 hours and do scales instead of getting home and literally running to the guitar when you get through the door..I only stopped playing for two months back in 2004..Dimebag is my #1 guitarist and hero so when Dimebag died on Dec 8th of 2004 I had dropped the guitar two months prior to his death..when I got home and seen it on the news I cried and picked up my guitar immediately and began jamming Cemetery gates..From that point on I told myself that it happened for a reason and dedicated myself to continuing his legacy and paying my respect by making sure people remember Dimebag and the plethora of amazing music he left us with..Within’ in a month I had progressed more than I did my entire first year..Don’t let it happen to you man and music is a gift that should be embraced and always fun..don’t take it to serious and go back to your roots and the reason you started playing to begin with..I always put an album on that inspires me on the way home from work so I’ll be it’ll the zone and makes me wanna play..I’m telling you though bro you should go pick your guitar up today and play..what’s the worst that could happen? You have a jam session and get to play some tunes! WIN WIN bro
@@LogAsp11 oh dude lately it’s been my entire life. I’m a bassist in a band, and I have like bass solos and stuff and I still play guitar for hours a day purely because I want to. It was something I was battling but I found an opportunity to make it my life and I took it. Time I’ve spent with my band members have been the best of my life and idk where I’d be without them. I have the same birthday as Dimebag, August 20th. I was born in 2005, so he was gone by the time I was born unfortunately. But I love Pantera and have his signature crybaby wah pedal and I have a dimeoflage too. Actually have a Pantera phone case.
I’ve been playing guitar for some time now, and I always had trouble picking fast. Whenever I try, I end up either missing the string a bunch of times, or my pick catches and interrupts my flow with a big “TWANG!” I never really stopped to think about whether the issue might be in my picking angle and/or hand motion. I’m so glad I found this video, and I’m going to start using your tips in my practice right away! Thank you! 🙏
Very useful video! Your channel has taught me all the tips and techniques I need to get better at playing my guitar. I appreciate all the work and content you give us.
Bernth. You are a highly skilled and great guitarist, but I would love to see some technique videos for simple but chugging riffs or even melodic/ballad solos on your channel rather than just a lot of shred. Might be the wrong channel but I admire the amount of practice you've put in. It shows
Ibanez had a line of guitars that were designed by h.r. giger I think in the late 90s early 00s. I think there were rg and s series with that design actually.
@@thunderfox8896 sure is. Like the other person said, he did an RG series and S series. They come with the HR Giger cases as well. The RG version is absolutely insane
I've been watching your technique videos and greatly appreciate them. I've been going through hell just relearning how to pick without resting my pinky or palm on the body of the guitar. It's like I'm starting completely over! I do realize though that it will make me a better guitarist in the end. I appreciate your help brother. Not many musicians of your caliber care to help out us plebs. You are definitely cut from a different cloth! Wishing you all the best and success on your tour.
Think if it as up down might be the best tip I’ve heard. I sort of just vibrate my write and I just started learning sort of fast solos after a year and I always get caught not really picking strings on weird or uncomfortable runs. Imma go try it
With Legato I strongly advise to pick the first note very gently with the plectrum. This ensures your first note will have the same dynamics as the hammer-ons and pull-offs (hopefully!)
The things that helped me the most is only using a down picking angle, muting the string above and below with your index on the fretboard, and using a similar motion to the evh floating tremelo
Pretty sure they were designed that way, but I'm not sure. I know it's an engraved HR Giger Ibanez, but I don't know for sure if the corrosion on the knobs is by design
Not sure I follow the second tip. Should I switch that angle with every pick when trying to play as fast as you do in the sample (which I am not even close to being able to do btw.)?

ALWAYS focus on the fundamentals when learning techniques and have fun learning :) I always love spicing up my practice time with doomy, drop A riffs so I can have a balance.
Hmmmm....smooth dynamics with string changes. That may be a large part of why it seems like my runs sound slow. 👍🏻 More great advice from the shred master!
was playing for years with my middle finger, ring and pinky hanging down after closing my hand and smaller picks i notice a big diffference in precision, accuracy, and my wrist not feeling wore out.
You are very right for scales and doubling the position to get an even number ...which have been overdone and are not very musical. What about crosspicking...without the sweep. Then you will need the curve to a certain degree
Thank you. Very helpful. Would you recommend the same pick holding and hand posture for acoustic picking and/or strumming or more of a David Gilmour type soloing, as one example, for electric. I struggle getting your forearm angle and pick resting on forefinger "bridge" (curled in finger) because I have long arms and big hands. Holding pick this way, for example, caused constant tension on ligament to first finger. I tend to feel most comfortable with finger pointing toward point of pick using somewhere between the side and pad of my finger. But my accuracy never seems to increase. In short are there any peers out there with long arms and big hands that may have a video specifically dealing with that situation? Even my fretting hand, small or large radius necks don't seem to make any difference. My thumb is too long to put behind neck about even with second finger...impossible thumb position for me, so I do what everyone says not to and have it pointed toward headstock above fingers. 🤷♂️ If anyone else struggles with this please feel free to give any advice. I don't want to give up. I can play chords and keep time this way but mainly only on certain songs.
I haven’t used a pick since I’ve started playing guitar. I just strummed with my hand and did fingerstyle, now I’m trying to learn how to pick and I feel like I’m a new player again
For 1. think about Muhammed Suicmez, he played at extreme picking speeds while going extremely aggressive while picking, same with the insane genius riffs of his.
I have almost 900 hours on guitar. I first picked the thing up almost 2 years ago. My picking is still s**t. I spend more time f*****g with my strap length and my picks than I do playing I think. Was helpful... Did subscribe. I need all the help I can get.
Can you elaborate on how the first two tips work together? To me it seems that if you add the picking angles from the second tip to the flat motion from the first tip, it inevitably leads to the curved motion that you say should be avoided.
Crazy, I started playing at the age of 12, I'm now 30. I just now today learned that pick angles are even a thing people think about.... I just play and have never once thought about pick angle, looking back in hindsight though I've always employed pick angle just never knew it was a thing.
Started out as an acoustic self-learnt player, and my wrist is still suffering from it. Got much better and shredded a tad in the mid-2000s, but the one video I had got blocked by Sony :(
I've always had trouble picking faster. I think I use the first technique which is maybe why. But I have serious trouble coordinating my hands using other techniques.
I'm a rhythm guitarist for an indie band with no songs out yet and i want to get the right technique so i can make really heavy chugging/djent sounds. I'm not sure if this video will help ke or not.
There is no right or wrong... Just look how Eddie Van Hanlen hold his pick... I didn't know until I read about it... I always hold my pick like Eddie from the beginning... Felt natural to pick that way... Now i mix the middle and point finger like a glide the plektrum between the fingers... Very good if you skip the strings and doing big intervals... For me that is... Every hand is different... Relaxation and breathing right is more important as a human being... Like Bruce Lee said... Be water my friend... 🎼🎶🎵🎶🙏🏻
Is it bad that I use my thumb and pointer finger to do all the motion? Ive found a combination of that and the motion you are using gives stupid fast picking speeds but is it worth it?
I can't feel my thumb pointer and index. Any suggestions? It's been a problem since I started (11 when injured started at 13 playing), and I'd love a tip. I have some neuropathy from cancer too. Appreciate you
I'm having trouble finding where to place my right hand wrist. My past teacher told me to always rest it on the 6th string, and now it's a habit of mine, but I can't really pick strings this way.. where should it go? do I just not rest it anywhere?
Really nice tips Bernth! But I've got one question: In the second tip you talked about the Up and Down strokes and to wether escape them, but I don't understand how you play the riff right after it, because you don't switch betweem the two postures.
Challenge time!!!! Can u play a paul Gilbert guitar technics when he solo at Mr big live san fransisco 1992. I love when paul bit his guitar and u know, the sound is beautiful. U must play same very same with him in this challenge. Thanks. Take care. Always healthy and success.
I'm so sick of people trying to say what's the "proper" picking technique when you should really just use whichever technique requires the least movement possible. That's a really good tip for intermediate players, cause if I get that too much after 15 years, intermediate players might actually question themselves when they hear people push a 100% correct way to hold the pick. The reality is, everyone holds it differently and as long as you're not making it too hard to play, you'll quickly find efficient picking techniques that work for what you want.

Thanks man ur my fav. Easy to follow but I can tell you’re very knowledgeable.
Hi Bernth, the 1st picking technique perhaps will be effective for one note per string arpeggio with alternate picking. Kindly advise.
Hello Bernth, you need to little bit upgrade your guitar)))

Great tips. Killer video and you are a super fast player and very clean and smooth!!
The legato fluidity tip is so true. Especially when locked in to being fast or just intense its hard not to be aggressive with the first note picking
I been practicing small uo and down motions for many years
Look at the amount of corrosion on his guitar
Looks sick
Yea it’s beautiful
It's the HR Giger (Alien) model so it's fully intentional
Pretty sure they were designed that way, but I'm not sure. I know it's an engraved HR Giger Ibanez, but I don't know for sure if the corrosion on the knobs is by design
it’s tone my guy
Not sure I follow the second tip. Should I switch that angle with every pick when trying to play as fast as you do in the sample (which I am not even close to being able to do btw.)?

How far the gap among strings & fret board in your guitar ? @BERNTH
I hate how effortless good guitar plays make this look, very impressive
Crazy, I started playing at the age of 12, I'm now 30. I just now today learned that pick angles are even a thing people think about.... I just play and have never once thought about pick angle, looking back in hindsight though I've always employed pick angle just never knew it was a thing.
I don't know why I'm watching this. I learned how to do a power chord 6 days ago.
Started out as an acoustic self-learnt player, and my wrist is still suffering from it. Got much better and shredded a tad in the mid-2000s, but the one video I had got blocked by Sony :(
I use those same pics! They are the BEST!
i actually do a circular motion when picking. Like i sort of drag my pick across my strings in a circle
Thank you for sharing the knowledge , very much appreciated !
Great, Layne Staley is teaching me how to hold the pick
when it comes to playing fast do you recommend a thicker or thinner guitar pick
I've always had trouble picking faster. I think I use the first technique which is maybe why. But I have serious trouble coordinating my hands using other techniques.

Bro Your guitar is awesome!
It always feels like ive lost so much momentum trying to pick upward, once i get tremolos down I'll be able to play so many more songs
What about the right hand's palm. I have heard that your palm should not rest in the guitar bridge. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
question
Dis you have to use a Compressor to have the consistent volume on the Legato exercise?
There is no right or wrong... Just look how Eddie Van Hanlen hold his pick... I didn't know until I read about it... I always hold my pick like Eddie from the beginning...

Is it bad that I use my thumb and pointer finger to do all the motion? Ive found a combination of that and the motion you are using gives stupid fast picking speeds but is it worth it?
I've always done my picking wrong. It just feels much more natural to pick with my forearm rather than wrist. Going to change that now.

Really nice tips Bernth! But I've got one question: In the second tip you talked about the Up and Down strokes and to wether escape them, but I don't understand how you play the riff right after it, because you don't switch betweem the two postures.
The motion is so subtle on fast runs you can barely notice it. That's the hardest one to master because you need to practice it in faster speed.
@@jm7859 Ah okay. Thank you!
Thank you for this advice 🙏
Challenge time!!!! Can u play a paul Gilbert guitar technics when he solo at Mr big live san fransisco 1992. I love when paul bit his guitar and u know, the sound is beautiful. U must play same very same with him in this challenge. Thanks. Take care. Always healthy and success.

Clicked on the video for the picking tips, walked away jealous of that Giger Ibanez
Thank you bernth your tips are very helpful for me
Top stuff mate, top tips mate 👍 thanks
tank you bernth, my picking is getting better because of this video, so tanks
I'm so sick of people trying to say what's the "proper" picking technique when you should really just use whichever technique requires the least movement possible. That's a really good tip for intermediate players, cause if I get that too much after 15 years, intermediate players might actually question themselves when they hear people push a 100% correct way to hold the pick. The reality is, everyone holds it differently and as long as you're not making it too hard to play, you'll quickly find efficient picking techniques that work for what you want.
Awesome advice ,, very cool looking guitar
Fantastic player, well done.
Great advices, i'll try those!
I’m assuming this also applies to acoustic guitars too but could you let me know. Also cool guitar
This is actually good to know af
Does anyone know if he’s resting his hand on the bridge at all or whether or not we’re supposed to?
