This is the best thing I've heard this week...PLUS!!! Finally a version of Lamb of God that I can play to my parents to explain what kind of music I'm involved in. Good job brother!
I was trynna learn Hourglass on my acoustic and you have inspired me to play it as clean and clear as it possibly can be. I'm absolutely thrilled by your playing. Thanks. Do you have tips on how to play better? My picking isn't as accurate and well-controlled. (Have always used my index nail to pick but it's a bad habit I wanna quit)
Thanks! So happy I could inspire :) Well for one thing, I swear by the Dunlop III guitar picks. They are quite small and hard, a bit uncomfortable for some people at first... But if you master them, they can allow for some seriously precise, clean playing. The picking technique I developed was just what I felt most comfortable with. I hold the pick between my thumb and index finger, then, I sort of turn the pick on a vertical angle so that on my downstroke the inside edge of the pick is making contact with the string first. It's kinda of hard to explain, but basically rather than holding the pick flat, I hold it vertically. Whether you choose to used the inside edge or the outside edge of the pick is a matter of comfort. Most metal players I know use the outside edge, so their thumb is essentially bent over top of the pick, where as I prefer using the inside edge which some people say looks funny. I hope this helped! If it's still unclear to you send me another message and I'll try to explain it differently. Thanks!
@@macktheriffer Thank you a ton, Mack. Your tip about using the inside edge has helped me tremendously. I can play twice as good in just a day. Not many people can bend their thumb backward (called double-jointedness) and I guess we both share that. Thank you very much. I'll be sure to buy the Jazz III picks soon as well. I'm absolutely rejoiced I can pick so well with your help. Also, fun fact, found your music on Spotify, and I'll be sure to listen to all of it.
Absolutely banger man, love it 🔥

They are hammer ons. I'm only picking the first note, then 2 hammer ons, pick again, 2 more hammer ons. Hard to explain, haha.@@knightsolaire5348
