    Thanks bud! Ive played a long time but never screwed around with lead until the past few years. It's great that my fingers can do it but I just need to soak in the quick knowledge. This is perfect!

    Hi Elmo. I'm a retired 59 beginner and I watch a lot of guitar channels and I think you're the best. I listened to your albums on Spotify, and you are not a good guitar player you're an incredible guitar player. You are very talented and should be making money playing. I listen to mostly rock and metal like Van Halen, Metallica and Megadeth and yes even some country. I like your style and your videos are honest. I heard about you losing your job, that sucks. Now maybe you can focus on music more, you're one hell of guitar player. My best to you and your family. I'm definitely going to look into your lessons.

    What an excellent package of licks. These are exactly the sort of fast licks I started out learning when I was in my beginner years and still use now!
    I reckon while learning the first time, clean is best way to start to make sure you aren't masking any bad technique. But since a lot of these licks are often played with gain, it's good to add OD and distortion so you can learn muting of the open strings you aren't playing. These type of licks generate a lot of noise on the strings, especially if you are bit sloppy, and that's something I had to spend a lot of work on to get clean, and (TBH still a challenge for me today at times).

    Great lesson Elmo. I've always wanted to increase my speed and dexterity in my solo playing. I've been a blues player for a long time now and I can be Eric Clapton but not Joe Satriani. This helped alot and I'll definitely be practicing those licks over and over. By the way I love how those Eart guitars sound, I've been looking all over the web to find one and I can't seem to locate any. Where did you get yours?

    • @MrPolevaulter

    @mike1967sam ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have never disagreed with you Elmo but this time I will, if you only or almost always play fast it becomes harder and harder to play slow melodic lines. I had to force myself to First - Never hit the ceiling meaning never play at my maximum speed and Two - Learn to serve the song and the best example I can give you is Ringo Starr's drum intro on the song "Come Together". Certain songs ask for slow melodic lines and in a moment of tension you can fit in a fast run, but that's it. That's why I don't really appreciate YJM, he is great, but after 5 minutes I get bored and like him there are many. Take care. Mike.

    • @MrPolevaulter
      @MrPolevaulter  ปีที่แล้ว

      I hear what you're saying, but I think you misunderstand. What I meant was it's easier on a technical level. Satch is a good example. Yngwie is bad in the sense that he CAN play slow stuff, he just doesn't want to.

  • @michaelknight4041
    @michaelknight4041 ปีที่แล้ว

    There's a world of difference between slurring fast scale runs and picking every note. I think of hammer ons/pull offs as two notes for the price of one, if you can pick once and get multiple notes for every pick stroke of course you can play much faster this way. Personally I think the right hand is harder to develop than the left, For me anyway. If you can it's worth it though, nothing sounds as awesome as fast clean runs where every note is picked.

      @MrPolevaulter  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My middle name is Juhani. I use it partly because of the Yngwie thing, but also because there's a famous Finnish singer by the name of J Karjalainen. So it's a bit of a play on those two.
