This crushes Yngwies "masterclass". German precision at its finest. This is why i studied German in 88-91 and am still fluent. Wenn man genug Geld haben wirdt man kein Job in der Buro haben mussen. At my boring medical job i go thru my practice routine mentally for hours noting pick direction, sound and feel. At some level this is training my muscles. I did this all day and am exhausted and now i am remembering note sequences i worked on mentally and am enacting them with metronome on the guitar. I use various widths of picks the 0.6 mm nylon helps for a brighter sound and teaches speed rather than force although sometimes i use the tortex 1 mm though i find the sound more bassy. The thinner picks help me catch errors in my picking technique regarding string changes, angles of pick and pick direction.
Regarding filming yourself. I love this idea to get better. Which Angle Do you use to See the tiny Details? And Do you have recommendations regarding smartphone clamps or stuff like that?
if you work on alternate outside picking it will improve your fretting hand memory and your fretting. Picking influences how the fretting happens. That is why fretting with the left hand is "right handed".
Something that helped me a lot was to play the lick I was struggling with using alternate picking and legato. I also have trouble with fret hand. Once both hands were up to speed I could combine them.
Yeah that's great and all, but way too much technique practice in my opinion. Why not focus more on writing actual music and improvising? Instead of treating it like a sport.
I have studied Jazz Guitar in University, and when it comes to improvising I used the same methods. Jamming over a Backingtrack is NOT working on your improvisation, you have to learn arpeggios, scales, chords, Intervalls etc und you can transform these methods as well on that, like playing over a chord progression for example. And you can use this also for working on techniques like phrasing, Vibrato, Bending etc why not?
If a newbie like me read this, my question is how is one supposed to know how to write music when I don't know anything theory related, nor have the technical know-how to execute what I want to "write" That's like asking a skateboarder to grind a rail with his own falir when the dude is trying to balance on the board on flat ground.
Thank you Justin for another amazing lesson!!! You're the best teacher on you tube hands down!! Thanks for everything you have done for us 🤘🤘🤘🤘

😆😆
this is so wholesome lol love this attitude towards getting better
Very insightful, Thank you for this video.
Great insights, Justin!
Thank you for sharing this useful information.
Can you make a PDF of your 4 hour routine? That would be very interesting to see.
Justin is the best 😂 thank you for this
Trust the Process!

Thank you 🙏
Eternity's End is amazing. Every album has got better than the last too.
Thanks man. Appreciate these tips and ideas. Also you don't ever want to work in an office. It will destroy your soul and consume it.
Question, the Zen of speed picking is all about the picking hand? Strangely I struggle mostly with the fretting hand...😢

@@JD-vj4go I'm practicing legato to try to fix this. I have bad pinky fly síndrome 🙄
@@5zazen it's not working for me, unfortunately... Picking had much more developed than fretting hand...🥺
Nice JP Ibanez
what is the tool you have on your knee to rest the guitar?
it's a cushion you should get at sweatwater or Thoman, it brings the guitar into classical position without having my leg raised up all the time
that's what i was looking for thx!!@@justin.hombach
i put my foot of leg supporting the guitar on a 12 lb dumbbell.
I almost quit guitar this week
I know that feeling...I recently took about six weeks off from guitar and now coming back to it I'm feeling great.
@@subterraneanguitartech next time flip it upside down and play it with opposite hands
every dog has its day
8am.....you have no kids I guess....
