I actually thought that this was about replacing the strings lol
Lol no 😅😅
PG can actually string a guitar using only one hand.
@@infinitesimotel Why do you think he brings a drill with him onstage? haha
@@infinitesimotel and only in 3 seconds lol
@@AntonOparinENG This is PG changing strings th-cam.com/video/OqjUlgzuyQA/w-d-xo.html on Andertons video haha
It's not a secret. So your video is not useful anymore :-D
Probably the most in-depth technique instruction I’ve seen! Amazing teaching
Watch my video about universal technique, I think you might like it even more. Thanks btw, really appreciate that
Hi Anton , would u know the reason for the slingshot effect, ? When I try speeding up my alternate picking my does a rest stroke I between the strings it’s gets stuck ?
13:15 - Wow! I can actually hear the difference between the two. That's impressive.
I’ve been studying Paul Gilbert for decades and this is this most helpful video I’ve ever seen regarding his shredding ability. Thanks and sub’d!
I honestly thought that was Paul Gilbert at the start.
Been waiting for this video for so long! THANK YOU!!
thanks anton for showing your prowess once again cheers
It's a real gift to have a virtuoso and a great connoisseur of the guitar like you explaining this kind of thing. But the best part is that you CAN demonstrate them, and that's a point that sets you apart from other guitarists. Anton, thank you for giving us all this information.
Thank you for taking your time to give us this info!!! 🤟 ROCK ON.
After trying to replicate it for years, I actually came to this same realization a few months ago. This lick sounds really weird when you "fix" the string skipping problem. I kind of like the "original" version for it's ferocity and aggresion. This is something I had to deal with because I played this lick using hybrid picking and it always came out "too clean", but whenever I went back to playing it the "dirty" way, with touching the string on the way back, it sounded a lot more "authentic".
Great video Anton! I remember seeing your cover of "Let The Computer Decide" in late 2000s. These were some good times, I'm glad to see that you're still around :)
Mann I couldn't believe it wasnt paul in the intro!! 🔥🔥
Thanks Anton!!! God bless you bro!!! Cheers from Tanauan City Batangas Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🙏
Your guitar sound is fantastic, your explanations are fantastic, your teaching is fantastic. Your playing is wow... fantastic! I'm so impressed with your playing and your skills!
👍👍👍 Keep on!
Great video Anton !
You really go in depth, awesome! Heard about you when you were a kid and now I discover this vid about 10 years later haha keep on shredding'!!
Anton still looking like kindergarten boy but ripping Frenzy like nothing. Insane!!
Regarding string skipping, PG makes a pretty big point in one of his videos about how he uses outside picking in the transitions to avoid hitting the skipped strings during the skip, but during the normal transitions he doesn't care about inside/outside (as you have to be able to do both anyway). I guess this supports the analysis. I'm not that good at string skipping myself, but maybe with a large pick angle out of the strings (Grady-style) it could be done fast with inside picking as well.
we love you Anton!
This is another awesome vid Anton..and I never knew you could speak English so well👌well done maestro
Your channel is amazing sir ! I've discovered it at the perfect time for me. Dig your content, looking forward to see more of that kind of video :)
Thanks man, appreciate that! I will post more!)
This video is so well researched and so interesting! Also, you're an amazing player!
I was always curious about that. Thanks Anton!
Clever!
This is what Troy Grady calls "swiping", I believe.
That's right.
That’s right….seems he figured that out with some other player AFTER he did the break down of Gilbert. He should go back and edit it or put a link to the swiping thing.
this changed everything to me, thanks man gr8 video!
Thanks a lot for this great video Anton !! very interesting :) can you show us next time how to play fast and got stability on one strings like the high E it will be awesome !!
Check this kid out. th-cam.com/video/7QoWHFjk2mE/w-d-xo.html
I thought it was Paul Gilbert at the beginning. Love it man
Great video Anton. Please make one about Kiko Loureiro’s alternate picking style
Amazing video. Thank you
8:34 HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA, u'r my master now!
top show de bola !!parabens
Great finding, thanks man.
Does Paul also utilize this muting techniquewhen blazing through scales?
Excellent video! What happened to your Kramer?
To clear up some confusion, he only shows that other technique as an example of how he used to pick and often explains its limitations.
Very circumstantial during times of revelations 🙂
Could you explain the exactly Kiko Loureiro´s brazillian Megadeth´s lead guitar? Please, do it. Thanks a lot.
I really want to understand Kiko Loureiro’s picking too. I think he uses crosspicking
Hello Anton, I absolutely love your videos, your technique is absolutely amazing! Is your Academy still available? I haven't gotten any response in 2 Months, I hope you're alright.
Arrrr im so fed up with myselft now im joining!
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone else talk about Paul's swiping technique. A lot of players do this. And it's almost like swearing in church if you're talking about people like Paul. I know exactly how to overcome this. There are several ways actually. Cheers from Norway! 🤘
Swearing in church? Why? :-)
@@davidhurley5032
Because Paul's technique is seen as absolutely perfect by so many people. I remember commenting on Petruccis technique once (he does the same thing) and I was asked: "Who the F are you commenting on his technique". Like analysing what's happening technically is a big no-no 🤷
@@sifka1607 nobody is perfect but these guys are as close as you can get. It’s not something to worry too much about. It’s a result of taking those huge strokes that he does, which is what gives him that intensity. Muting out strings we don’t want is something we all do and just as impressive at that speed as jumping over it. And it’s only on the turnarounds. He has plenty of licks that he’s clearing the strings completely. Dude’s got his stuff down and sounds great. :). But you’re right. Nothing wrong at all with the analysis. Always helpful! People often need to chill. Lol.
You can clearly see in the top angle video (Robert’s lesson) gilbert clears the string on the up stroke, however, you are dead right about the down stroke before it. I figured this out from the Young guitar video where he only plays TWO notes, the two on adjacent strings, and you can hear the down pick catches both, but the up stroke clears.
Great video bro and that’s kinda wild 😮 lol 😅
I can hear it! Thump thump thump thump. Very interesting how we overthink things lol
Holy fuck! I've wonder that for years, I can even do it too but thought I was wrong because I couldn't tell that he was doing that. I think troy even said it's called "playing through the strings"
After watching this video, I’m curious what you think about Cesario Filho’s playing
Thank you Anton, Great points. Are you familiar with a troy grady´s videos, where he explain how to approach changing string in great detail? Is your approach similiar?..thank you
Hello Ales. I've found out about Troy when he offered me to record my right hand and make a video on his channel couple of years ago, but I didn't do it and wanted to keep it to myself back then. He's a good researcher, but my method is a little different. All techniques have things that are similar and that are not, "God is in the details" as always. I have lots of physics of right hand explaining in my academy, haven't seen it anywhere yet, but i think it's critical thing for developing technique, it's like building an engine. Someone knows what engine does, but not everybody knows what each detail in the engine does and what it might cause to your playing in other aspects. That allows me to understand and explain what any guitar player can do with his exact technique and what he can't because it's just physics and laws that you can't avoid. My dad was professional sport coach and it allowed me to know a lot about how muscles work and how they're being trained.
I didn't buy Troy's courses to understand what he explains there, cause I knew everything I needed in my guitar playing maybe 12 or 14 years ago. That was a year when I played Paul Gilbert's "get out of my yard" on 6 strings, I had already finished technical information-base back then, so that's it
@@AntonOparinENG I don't think you'll lose anything (lesson money/business or otherwise) by letting Troy record your right hand. You're an amazing player, so I hope you'll reconsider someday. There's plenty of master players that understand physics/muscles but still gained new insight by seeing their own playing in slow motion, plus the obvious benefit for the rest of us. Sometimes guys (like Friedman) were convinced they weren't doing something that they actually were, for example, lol ;)
@@DeathBringer769 don't want to be rude or something, but I know everything what I do on the guitar, up to 1 millimeter... maybe others didn't know what that did until Troy recorded them, but I do and recorded myself thousands of times before and even in slow motion.
And btw slow motion camera won't tell you everything, especially on what's happening inside the hands and in muscles.
Let's be honest, you just want to know things for free. Just say it:-) and don't tell me what I will gain from that or lose. It's a simple manipulation to make me do what YOU want me to do for Free. Troy sells courses based on things other guitar players do, but didn't develop it on best level by himself as some of his guests did.
I developed my technique much earlier than Troy published his first video and I've actually developed it, not just recorded it from someone and then suppose how it might be developed. People who didn't develop it by themselves don't know all the pitfalls.
Again, don't want to be rude, just saying the truth
8:27 is when he gets to it
What about spiro dussias? Lots of thumb movement
Is the academy still open?
Is this muting technique specific to this lick only?
Dang, I thought that intro audio was Paul haha.
Can somebody help with the “touching” section? I dont get it. What is it exactly happening when he mentioned about touching the string?
he plays 2 two notes instead one
Frank Gambale use the same technique!
Great video. I wonder why after 35 plus years of teaching, Paul never seemed to mention this?
Sir, your acuity has impressed me more than Paul Gilbert's speed.
Do Marty Friedman next! Thanks.
Paul Gilbert talks about bending his thumb to change the angle of the pick to get the sound he wants.
Not on each note
О, Антон! На этом канале, наверное, нет мемов из "Иронии судьбы" и "Бриллиантовой руки"! 😄😄😅 😅 На 9:59 лучше будет использовать слово transition, ну это вообще при смене струн.
excellent!👍👍👍👍
Good tone, is a vst amp?
Yep, it's BIAS AMP vst
Hi Anton, what about Petrucci's picking? It is never discussed by any guitar teacher although he uses them way more often than PG with many different sequences and almost sounding like a marathon picking. I love both PG and JP but in my opinion JP uses them better. PG seems to have only a few picking sequence while JP plays it from 1st fret of E string to 24 fret of high e string with different paterns.
Thanks for considering.
Because JP is cheating and PG don't.. JP would play only 3 notes but pick it 100 times just to make it sound fast.. and that's cheating to me 😂
@@paulgilbert3139 I have to disagree. As I Am (and the entire Train of thought songs), Fatal Tragedy, Metropolis Pt.1, Erotomania, Glasgow Kiss outro, and many more where he did alt pick exclusively with various patterns, no pull off. PG is the ‘cheating’ one because he’d pull off the higher string. He admits it makes licks easier to play and to get different tonality.
JP usually plays tremolo picking on one note when improvising as a stepping stone before speed picking, like Reb Beach solo on Seventeen. Even PG does that too.
I’m a fanboy of these two so no point in arguing my comment. Just stating facts.
@@iganpparamarta8813 I'm not saying cheating at picking, but cheating at playing.. i know that PG was not picking everynote, but he can nail everysolo perfectly almost in every Gig.. but JP is different, even he is struggle to play the arpeggio intro of the glass prison, he often play like crap in another day solo.. and after i saw the G3 (line up: joe, JP, PG) few years ago, i knew one thing correctly that JP is a bad improviser
But players like Guthrie, Matteo mancuso, Alex Hutchings, and Andre nieri can eat both of them alive in jam session 🤣
@@paulgilbert3139 wow! I've been saying that for decades (JP is really really bad at improvising) and I just get hate in return. It's not being disrespectful. I am a huge fan! My dream guitar is the Majesty! and his arrangements and compositions are incredible! Hek, my favorite instrumental song is Glasgow Kiss! But I can't stand listening to him trying to improvise LOL
which finger touching what?
Anton Oparin - ENG truth, i have t agree. You are mean player with good analytic capabilities. CONGRATS!
Lwal... I was just practising that :-D
As soon as I saw this video, I realized that it was gonna be awesome. I am a huge fan of Gilbert's technique but I never realized this. He has tons of tutorial videos. Why do you think he never showed or didn't even mention this?
Paul never explained anything about guitar technique, what he says in public is about 10-15% from what he actually knows, he didn't want anyone to know what he knows, I think that's the reason.
He probably doesn't know he's doing it. At that speed it feels clean, so he doesn't know
@@quintinpace2627believe me, Paul knows what he's doing, that's why his technique is still one of the best in the world.
He wouldn't use such a professional muting technique when he's playing fast if he didn't know that he's touching the string.
@@AntonOparinENG hi Anton I remember having a (stupid) debate on youtube comment with a guy who said that Paul slightly hit the other string when crossing the string and I said no way because I believe a pro like him would pick very precise. But your video changed my mind. Spasiba.
@@AntonOparinENG What you say about the mute entrainment of the string when changing strings, Anton, is plausible. In the 2000s, a guitar great in my country tried to teach me the same thing.
An early acquaintance of Paul's, before he was more famous, told somewhere that Paul was a very open-minded, helpful guy with whom you could talk for hours about guitar details. Maybe he had experiences in "real life" that made him more secretive.
You Anton were an almost fully developed virtuoso even at a significantly younger age than Paul. Did you already know in detail what you were doing technically as a child? Malmsteen, for example, is someone who developed his technique according to body feeling and hearing, but not analytically. So he can't really explain his technique either. Wouldn't it be possible that it is similar with Paul?
By the way, it is a pleasure to witness your technique, which is probably one of the most developed in the world.
It's good to know even Paul does this because I noticed I did it too haha
I'm searching since 1984 how to realize this technique BUT through an ilimited melodic development PLUS an absolue dominion of all possible accent. I mean, imagine on to never get addicted to any scale form regulating the accents, the poorest and most repeated vice by almost 99.9% guitar players in the whole human history. I'm just dreaming, of course.
depoga abi ko c paul gilbert na.
Hands syncronisation is a gift that few players like Paul or yourself have. I have tried for years to play like that, to be never satisfied. To me is something that is there or not, that famous lick is key to know.
is hard work lol i used to think like this and ive been doing these pual gilber exercises countless times a day and i can play them fast now
Like guy in the comment said its hard work patience determination practice
Are you teaching string skipping in your class? Paul’s and your way of skipping?
Yes
Do you have lessons for this? Let me know
@@vishalky I've already said that
Alright. Can we choose just the string skipping technique lesson of 70$ instead of the whole bundle? I sent an email too.
@@vishalky unfortunately I don't sell separate lectures anymore. Only full bundle for $340.
Why is it people who teach fast 3 note per string alternate picking never mention this?
13:38 ahahaha
I would like to be your friend
Actually, voting is for anyone over 18.
So are you ‘swiping’ the D string on the up-stroke from G string to D string?
(Impressive playing, BTW.)
No, I don't. I use a little different technique and plus it's cleaner
@@AntonOparinENG I was referring to the Paul Gilbert example you were demonstrating. Is Paul ‘swiping’ the D string on the up-stroke from G string to D string?
@@guitarguy382 No, Paul is swiping through the (muted) G string on the downstroke before playing the upstroke on the same string.
Apologies, that would be true for a downward pick slanter. I was forgetting that Gilbert has a natural upward pick slant which would mean he does swipe the D string on the upstroke. Confusing stuff!
Troy Grady talks about it in the second half of this clip - th-cam.com/video/DZQo24WY7DE/w-d-xo.html
Bro, Yngwie moves his thumb at times too, it's no bad habit or tick lol. You're never gonna replicate their motion and play exactly like them. If it was that simple anyone could do it.
Lol so funny! if you knew who you're talking to. This guy showed Yngwie's trilogy and how to play it better and cleaner than Yngwie and now shows how to play cleaner than Paul Gilbert. I'm sure he knows much much better than you smartass
th-cam.com/video/_V_PXTr5REI/w-d-xo.html
12:50.
And yes, Paul's and especially Yngwie's negligence with their thumbs cause majority of their problems with synchronisation and quality when it happens. It's not their fault, it's just physics. They could make it even more perfect, but just didn't. It doesn't mean that they can't play guitar, they are still incredible guitarists and in the list of the best ever
Wow another secret from pg?
I thought he was a two way pick slanter.
I 100% concur that the actual technique is ALMOST irrelevant. I, for example, can play the exact same speed with 3 different techniques....because I tried using different techniques for weeks or months at a time. No single technique unlocked speed for me. In my experience, what can unlock some speed is learning how to pick specific licks that work with a specific technique, vs using the wrong technique on a specific lick. The most extreme example would be trying to do sweep arpeggios with alternate picking. Economy picking 'unlocks' speed for that specific technique.
THe Troy Grady era of slow-mo high res video analysis should reveal this:
1) there is no single technique that unlocks speed for all licks.
2) some guitar players create the majority of their licks based around their best/favorite picking technique.
3) almost all of this is done subconsciously and we are putting too much conscious focus on it because we think we are on the verge of some discovery.
Watch my "does universal technique exist?" It will surprise you that universal technique for all licks actually EXISTS.
And there's scientific explanation for that sir:)
Not really, he does this for percussion purposes. I mean, you don't really have to touch the 4th string when going up, because is an upstroke, the pick is freed and in the air and ready to hit the downstroke on the 4th string, by actually hitting the 4th string with upstroke like you say, it actually makes you slower because it leaves the pick in less than ideal position for the downstroke, it just doesnt make any sense for speed purposes, you hitting 2 strings with one upstroke and the pick is traveling 2 strings up and then having to pick down, rather simply picking up and then down, he does it for percussion purposes as he is into that shit which is why he picks with the edge and he said this before that for that particular exercises he does like to accent that upstroke
Paul is the greatest. His thumb isn't moving. His whole hand is. His thumb is closer to the guitar body on downstrokes to allow downward pick stroke escapes and his thumb is pivoted further away from the body to allow upward escapes. He's just giving himself more room. He is absolutely not picking deadened strings when speed picking. He warns against this in his artist works lessons. When strumming, yes. When picking, no.
All of your examples are palm muted. He doesn't always play fast when muted. That's the sound you're hearing. Not swiping a deadend string.
Watch:
th-cam.com/video/Q67YOVyqOYc/w-d-xo.html
I think you're right dude. The point in the video at 04:40 and if you open it in Video Lan (VLCj) you can close up on it - he seems to be cleanly hopping over that lower string to get to the point of hitting the upstroke on it. There's very little height, so its incredible conservation of energy, but you can also hear that the tone is clean - you would hear buzzing otherwise. Anton, I am sure I haven't studied it as long as you so If I'm wrong accept my apology, but in my opinion his pick is not swiping the lower string.
Intense Rock 1 alumnus, UNITE!
Paul does not hold the pick tilded backwards. The video you showed were out of context. He talks about when he first started out, and he Held the pick like that.
What?
no secret... long-ass fingers and arms and tall person = WAY huge advantage in speed. The angles are so much smaller for him than someone physically smaller. He's got that SNAP in his picking and it's just not as easy when you don't have his physical genetics. You, Anton,, also have long fingers and started off doing Gilbert style. Some people have more limber wrists and longer finger joints. Otherwise... you stay close to the string during alt picking then jump to the next string with a tricep contraction for lower string, bicep for upper and get there on time! hahah I saw your 11 year old vids. amazing stuff way back then.
Cool....you can play really really fast. Santana and a shitload of others did more with one single note than half an hour of your speed play. I dont understand metal one single bit. I know some people like it and that is cool with me. But it makes no damn sense. I dont mean the lyrics, costumes or their hair style. What i am talking about is the 32nd or higher tempo of a few selected notes on a single string using hammer ons and pull offs. What does it bring? Google thinks i am looking for a faster means to change strings apparently. I searched for "alternate string picking" and it gives me this.
To much talking . Less is more!
It costs 340 bucks haha
All right dude. You've convinced me that your technique is better than Govan, better than Gilbert, etc. etc. I also agree that alternate is more rhythmically precise and usually sounds better than economy. The problem is that high-speed alternate is fucking hard. ;)
What is the secret? Lift the pick away from the string = DUH =)) My guess is Paul touches the string even though it sounds a bit more sloppy 2 conserve energy & stamina 4 other parts of the show, like a singer will be as quiet as possible 2 get a similar tone 2 try & avoid injuring voice.
I would really like to watch you or any other guitar player in the world making it on the instrument and then I'll be the one who's gonna laugh😉
It doesn't conserve energy. It is just worse technique.
