I guess there are different strokes for different folks but I think this philosophy only applies to people that already have great technique. Babies go from not being able to move, to crawling, to walking, to running. Not from the crib to a sprint. Def seems like good approach if you are already experienced.
It does work. I would wrestle with certain parts of songs and then I started putting them together little by little at the speed to be played and I found that I not only learned it faster but it also improved the tech.
😮 Novice level and up: Muscle memory doesn't discriminate - it imbeds mistakes and slowness as readily as preciseness and speed. So, don't imbed bad technique - hard to unlearn. Best to imbed Slowly with Precision (and of course use chunking). Repeat the chunk, etude, riff methodically and technically acurate a minimum of 4 time in a row slowly, (like way slow - 40-60 bpm slow), muscle memory begins to take hold and the peice will eventually become part of your repertoire. Fairly, this should take mere minutes, half an hour. At this point, crank it up in graduated spurts to beyond what you can handle. Rinse and repeat for a weekend. Sure, you'll suck, but... slowing back down to your target speed will seem like cake. Oh, and relax all that tension in your hands - dang 😄
So chunking is great but if you identify a deficiency in your underlying technique you’ll have to address that first if you’re ever going to get your lick up to speed. I’m on this journey myself. I can play fast legato lines but my picking is terrible. Fixing that has involved a lot of work on basic picking technique which I neglected when I was younger. But chunking or speed bursts are a core part of my training regimen for building speed so maybe in a future video you might cover how chunking fits in with overall technique development. Keep up the good work!
First... Sweet assed guitar. Second... 👋😮👋 Face slaps to wake up those that just don't get you, they'll catch up soon enough. Third... Haters suck. Fourth... Rock on bro 😊
All true. Yeah I love this guitar. It is an Indo Ibanez they only made for one year which I don't get. And yeah....the haters will always hate but I am cool with that. That comes with having a youtube channel. Thanks bro.
Ah, stop, we're free wheel burning. I learned this in 84 . Let's try painkiller. I'm just messing with you. There are mostly kids. That dont understand. I learned to run when i was 12 years old in 77. Its fine now. I prefer chugging.
Dude.! . You just keep talking and repeating yourself. And to demonstrate your idea, at least play a proper lick or phrase instead of some random six note line. And that too sloppy with a horribly processed tone.
Don't really pay attention do you. See....I used the last little phrase I used last time on the previous video since this is a continuation. And funny about the "processed tone". This is from my fractal and the tone I get asked most about. So....I went to your channel to see how a pro does it and hear your EVH-ish tone....but there was nothing there. But you keep rocking bro.
Clearly you have no clue about running or endurance sports training :) You would spend a lot of your time running slowly to build base to run faster :)

Well this is meant for people who already have some skill but are wrestling with certain things. This is not for a beginner at all.
That’s how I learn stuff as well. You make sense to me. One section at a time.
Thanks brother.
I play and this is the way I do it it makes complete sense.
I know right!
There is a difference but your philosophy makes sense. Its about learning where the notes are first then increasing speed.

Oh yeah. Thats a great idea. Thanks for the tip. I will be doing that video.

Yeah I should have said this was not for beginners. I didn't think about that at the time. thanks brother.

I'm not saying your wrong about guitar tho :)
