    Fastest way to learn anything on guitar is to go for it knowing you're going to suck at it at first, but with enough repetition and focus, one day you'll get it.

    One thing I'm currently working on that has really held me back is the way i hold my pick. *BUT* , and this is a *BIG BIG* but. For me anyway. Dont try to emulate the exact way that your favorite guitarisy or teacher hold his picking hand. For me anyway, I've been learning that *my* wrist and hand stay more loose and relaxed with my middle , ring and little fingers kinda loosely touching the body of the guitar for some parts and then sorta tucked in for other parts. I've found that there is no *one* particular way to hild the pick at all times. Ive been playing for 35+ years and I feel im some ways that I've gone all the way back to day one. Its been a week now and I'm starting to get to where if i hold the pick the way i always have, it feels weird now. I wish there had been something like TH-cam around back when i was 15. Just so much incredible information just floating around for free these days.

    Noticing how you start with upstrokes, I deeply relate. Years ago I used to watch all these tutorials for fast alternate picking starting with downstrokes and never worked for me. It was one day that sort of came as a revelation that I was able to play those licks if I started with upstroke, and I never trained or practiced them like that before. It possibly had to do with my general way of picking or bad habits that are deeply engraved in my head, that just makes it easier for me to process alternate picking with an upstroke

    • @Jarrodpimental
      @Jarrodpimental ปีที่แล้ว +3

      This USUALLY depends on the angle you naturally hold the pick. Tip pointing up or down. And that has to be pointed out when someone tells you to start on a down stroke.

    That is probably the lick (Zakk Wylde) that changed my playing level altogether. I was in a plateau for so many years because I was self taught and never took lessons (much) and eventually I noticed after watching my favorite guitar players on video I started to see how their technique was completely different from mine. I started truing to play and make it look more like them. More structured, more controlled, less convulsive looking. Zakk Wylde licks, especially the first part of the solo for Mr Tinkertrain that is kinda similar to No More Tears. Then some Dimebag stuff. After a while I noticed I was able to play faster with less effort. It should look similar to water flowing when you play. To the point where it feels almost effortless. The more you try to force it and tense up, the shittier your playing will seem.

    I just wanted to say thank you. I feel like this is what I have been missing. I've been playing for about 15 years and to be honest. I suck. To a non player I am sure I sound like a pro but i have zero improv. I skipped a lot of the basics so I could sound cool lol. 15 years later struggling to find my groove I feel like this video was it. these simple tricks and patterns really helped me find my groove and travel up and down the fretboard.

    Hi Cameron! I had to tell you how much I appreciate this lesson for a strong personal reason: I like shred lines and wish to play them but everything I had found teaching some of them involved some very intensive left hand pinky work (especially pull-offs). Well, mine is busted with arthritis and it's just impossible for me to drive it like crazy as it results in painful inflammation. I've been following you for a good while and had noticed that you played extremely well with a nice aggressive drive yet weren't constantly using the pinky. A lot of the stuff that you just showed I can practice and so man, you're saving my life here!
