Hi, One of the best warm up or generally Technique exercise so far. i like the concept with Burst system. I make this exercise not much but my feel to Pick is so better after that. And that Concept brings me on other level by learn fast Shred songs. Best Greetings from Bavaria!
You're 110% right, the lessons about speed on youtube dont teach how they pick. Your lesson Defenetly is what i am searching for. Looking forward to purchase the lessons.
Hi Justin, I'm not really a prog metal fan but your playing style and tips knock my socks and shoes off! How cool is that? 🏎️ Great vids, super licks and even better playin! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🎸😎 Brgds JB C 🇦🇺
I'll start on the I'm too young to die hardness level. Great video! Kudos for playing that whole practice with no, or minor mistakes. That's a long passage to play so cleanly. Does your forearm burn when playing for that long at the bpm you were at?
Tbh I think I had two wrong rounds in this take.😅 Even I play this workout for one year now, believe me I even still do mistakes. Which is absolut normal, because it's hard to stay focus all the time and not getting numb in the end. You will improve on your numbness quickly but it sometimes depends on the days... on some days no problem, on other I just play bullshit there 😅😂 Nah, after practsing so much speedpickinh my forearm only burns when I play rhythm stuff for a long time... it's more my fingers on the left hand that burns
It depents, in this video the JTC/Ibanez Pick, sometimes the Dunlop Flow or Tortex... but I trained my picking so it's not weaker depending on which pick I use. So I recommend to use all kinds of picks and change them from day to day or week to week. And also use some bad picks which are only for advertisment purpose 😅😅
@@justin.hombach Interesting. Thanks for the quick answer! I like the dunlop small stubby ones but they don't sound too good, I think. But you seem to be right on the money with your approach. Technique is much more important than the guitar pick itself. :)
Hey Carlos, Thanks for purchasing. You should get an email with the access link for the page where the lessons are at. Please let me know if you got this or not. Maybe it‘s in your spam files?
Maybe I missed it, but how do I actually apply this two way pickslanting. Should I start with an downstroke using downward pickslanting? But then I'm trapped between the E and the a string after the 3rd note. Or should I roll my wrist and play the 3rd note with upward pickslanting? This is confusing...
Hey, yeah sometimes it can get a bit confusing. When you start and end with a downstroke, then you use Upward pickslanting. I personally have the upward pickslanting position right away when I hit the first note and then change as soon as I hit the first upstroke on the next string. The longer the line the more gradually you can do the change from one pickslant to the next, the smaller it is the more you have to do something I call „the snap movement“. The really important moment where we should have the right pickslant is when we are going from one string to the next. It‘s hard to explain via text but I think you are on the right track :) Check out more videos about pickslanting (like from Troy Grady as well) or my zen of speedpicking… und ich gebe ja auch online lessons, also schreib mich ruhig an wenn du welche brauchst. Besten Gruß :)
channel is getting better. I like the mo. You should handlebar it and wear an eye-mask and go for the cartoon villain thing! Instead of repeating yourself about pick slanting you should have gone into pick slanting in more detail. I totally don't understand what you mean and I don't change the slant of my pick to play three notes per string. I don't really slant my pick much at all tbh.
Hey man, I've done a full video about pick slanting in 2020 called Pickslanting debunked (I think, had to look this up :D ) Otherwise my complete course "The Zen of Speedpicking" is pretty much about Pickslanting. Because for me, it helped me with 80% of my picking problems... And of course check out all the videos from troy Grady and try pickslanting :) But to do this workout you don't necessarily need pick slanting. :) (But it will make a lot things easier :D )
@@justin.hombach oh cool, I'll check it out.Then you should have plugged that video in there - lots of guys will do that. "If you don't know what I'm talking about go back and watch my video on pick slanting.". I use either jazz picks or heavy normal picks scraped to a jazz pick point with xacto knife. I was just watching my hand and I do not slant my pick when I play.
@@benearhart1224 Thank for the tip, I will put an info card in the video. The video I mean btw is called "Pick Slanting Demystified". Yeah In the beginning I only did Downward Pickslanting. Pickslanting is something you need to work on with a lot of focus and consciousness, it's nothing that comes naturally. And therefore I create a lot of Licks and exercises in the Zen of Speedpicking to work on Upward/Downward and 2 way pick slanting.
@@justin.hombach I was just experimenting with slanting my pick and it's slightly more forgiving but I'm not sure your fundamental assertions are correct in that they don't account for unslanted picking. I'm all confused now Justin! I shall go watch your video and see what this "pick slanting" is all about....
@@justin.hombach So I'm watching "What is pick slanting?" and now that I understand what it is I realize that I have an entirely different approach to the problem which is that I pick neutral but then quickly lift the pick away from the string. So my hand sort of dances over the strings. This is the most brutal picking riff that I've come up with: E5 E6 A5 E6 A5 A7 A5 E6. That thing ate my lunch for weeks.
It's not, it's all up and down picking. It can hapen, that in the Workout I made a mistake and unintentionally play two downstrokes. Nobodys perfect, can hapen but everything should be played as alternatde picking... At least for me, you can use ecenomoy if you like 🤷 But this workout is f?to train alternate picking and pickslantig, so I would recommend this
Sry aber ich finds echt nicht gut wenn du mit Fretwrap ne Übung präsentierst, man sollte doch grundlegend sauber üben nur so lernt man es. Bitte auch nicht falsch verstehen, du zeigt ja in covers auch das du ohne kannst, denke es vermittelt lediglich einen falschen Eindruck. Ansonsten cooles Video
Moin, ich würde das mit dem Fretwrap gar nicht mal so auf die Goldwage legen, weil es dich nicht automatisch zu einem saubereren/besseren Gitarristen macht. Wenn man grundlegende technische Probleme hand (fehlende Synchro, keine Kontrolle über seinen anschlag, fehlendes durchgehender alternate picking) dann bringt dir auch ein Fretwrap nichts. Ich benutze fretwraps in meinen erklärungen hauptsächlich, weil ich ja rede und spiele gleichzeitig und meine Aufnahme die ganze Zeit mitläuft, wenn ich dann mal vergesse mich runter zu drehen und ich komm die ganze Zeit gegen die lehrsaiten ohne es zu merken, nervt das halt später in der Aufnahme (alles schonmal vorgekommen). Wenn sich jetzt andere davon inspiriert fühlen und auch meinen: Justin benutzt Fretwrap also benutze ich auch eins"... ist das ihr gutes Recht. Ob sie dadurch automatisch sauberer und besser klingen, obwohl es starke defizite in der generellen Technik gibt, wage ich zu bezweifeln. Hoffe du verstehst was ich meine, nur weil man Fretwraps benutzt heißt es noch lange nicht das man "cheated" und man eigentlich nicht so spielen könnte. Und so wie mein guter Freund Levi Clay immer sagt: "wenn du dannach gehst dürftest du auch keine Bünde benutzen". *btw: Im vollen Video rede ich an einer stelle über right hand muting, da fällt mir dann auch auf, dass es dämlich ist dabei das fretwrap anzuhaben und da nehme ich es z.B. auch ab, weil ja, in so einem Moment wäre das leicht paradox 😂😂

The doom eternal difficulty emblem is a nice touch

I'll have to try this for a couple of weeks. Requires a lot of focus.

Vielen, vielen dank, Justin!
Beste no problem 👌💪
Thanks for the tips! Subbed!

Just discovered you though the NWOTHM channel. Listening to Eternity's End and was thinking who the HELL is the guitar player!!! Phenomenal.
Hehe thank you 😮😊 Make shure to follow also the main guitar player from eternitys end Christian Münzner :)
Hey Justin,
nice workout!
I was wondering which kind of picks you are using?
It depents, in this video the JTC/Ibanez Pick, sometimes the Dunlop Flow or Tortex... but I trained my picking so it's not weaker depending on which pick I use. So I recommend to use all kinds of picks and change them from day to day or week to week. And also use some bad picks which are only for advertisment purpose 😅😅

Thankyou so much master justin🙏
Is that the msm1 guitar?
I have that guitar .
Thank you for this comment :) yes it is. Love that guitar
Hi Justin,
This is an amazing workout, but can you please make a tab for it?
I got it in 5 minutes even if my ears are thrash tbf
Do you play strict alternate picking here?
i have just buyed this lesson yesterday, when i Will get it?

@@justin.hombach voll cool! Bist ja aus Mainz. Bin aus Darmstadt. Wann kann ich dich zwecks Unterricht besuchen?
What model is that brown Ibanez with that syncroniZR bridge???
ut‘s the old marco sfogli signature guitar :)
@@justin.hombach that bridge is no joke. It's like the single lock floyd on ball bearings. Such an elegant design!

Are tou using Palm mute on your right hand in all strings?
Not in all. E, A and D after that I mute all the strings above the one that I‘m playing
Hi. Nice technique. Why in the explanation you talk about alternate picking but the example is economy picking?
It's not, it's all up and down picking. It can hapen, that in the Workout I made a mistake and unintentionally play two downstrokes. Nobodys perfect, can hapen but everything should be played as alternatde picking...
At least for me, you can use ecenomoy if you like 🤷 But this workout is f?to train alternate picking and pickslantig, so I would recommend this

Hey,
Try some of my workouts! I'm going through yours now, cheers!
Schade das Du keine Deutsche Video`s machst!😞
