intro = HOLYSHIT
*throws guitar into lake*
Dude I met you through our common producer (Scott Atkins great guy and amazing producer)! These videos helped me loads, in particular the ones around sweep picking!! Rock on and good luck with the architects!!
Shawn Lane was the master of wide intervals licks
this guy KILLS!! I love diminished shapes, chords, but I could never figure out those rich, multi layered movements. they are kinda easy once you know the technique. Thanks shred alien!!
Marty Friedman says it's boring tho widley widley no feeling .
@@James-hh1lq yeah there is a feeling. the need to fuckin headbang
Josh, your videos are so on point, love ya man, keep em comin
between all your videos i have been given a dozen solid exercises to go and practise. great starting point to string skipping and sweeping especially for myself. thanks keep it up. im now inspired again exactly like it was the first time i saw dimebag
Was sleeping on this technique. The thrashy riffs in Servitude brought me back to reality, can play everything up to speed except the one riff with the string skipping, so I'm going to practice this until it's cake.
Probably the dullest video I've watched thirty or more times.
Damn my lack of ability, talent or both
Bloody superb lesson
Although sweeps can be very musical, these are far more musical I think. I am going to work on this more, you've convinced me. Andy James of Lick Library also has a string skipping lesson-but this is far better. I'm a student of yours now.Thanks for the lesson.
String skipping is very useful and a good technique to have in your back pocket! It will help you keep your riffs and licks from sounding every other one!
Unfortunately, all string skipping licks sound the same.
@@HunnysPlaylists it’s not so much about string skipping as it is about what you play with it and surrounding it. All techniques are just that. It’s what you play around it and the feeling you put into it
@@jasonstallworth all sweeps sound the same.
@@HunnysPlaylists All bends sound the same. All strumming sounds the same. All scale sequences sound the same. All chords sound the same. Context doesn't matter and all techniques are only meant to stand on their own. I am really smart huehuehue.
@@JonnyCrackers That's completely false. Bending and strumming are techniques.
Great technique. Bravo
If you play this at half speed, he sounds absolutely wasted.
Funniest comment of all time 😂🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂😂
hahahaha
Great lesson. Those stretches are rather demanding, but it's great practice. Thanks!
Josh is such a clean player, I jealous for sure
Awesome video! I've been trying to get a sound like this since I was a teenager!
Holy shit...I just realised who you are! One of the first gigs I ever went to was one of yours! I saw Sylosis at the Waterside in Newbury about 14 years ago, and loved your crazy lead note choices.
After learning how to play "jump start" by greg howe, i found that string skipping is very important technique not only for that song but in all shredding guitar song.
I found that my left fingers can do faster than needed, but my picking when string skipping is what prevent me from playing fast.
Thanks Josh, top shelf
Super cool. I've been playing several instruments all of my life. I can do slow melodic solos but I always hired a "stunt guitarist" to do any shredding. Only recently have I become interested in it (at 56 years of age) and this video is awesome. Thanks for posting...
awesome lesson!. something that helped me improve (:
"It's pretty easy."yeah, okay, FOR YOU
if you play like few years every day this thing wont be hard for you to learn
Damn!! Killer stuff! Sounds much better when you do it lolol but at least I have something new (to me anyway) and cool to work on. Thanks! 🤩
That string skipping from "Teras" is awesome!
Great lesson! \m/
Beautiful guitar. Sick color!
I see why there are only 118 comments. Great tips for beginning string skipping. So to practice I go!
You re a beast buddy, keep on shredding !
I was thinking about buying a guitar, learn how to play it, then i clcked on this video, the intro is intimidating i am still shook
thanks for the lesson man!
Would sound great in a phrigian improv. 10 /10. 👍 in my favourites now
I'm awesome at sweeping but not so much string skipping
Is that a 1979 silver bust les paul, the one Adam Jones uses? (Tools guitarist) Looks quite simalar. Thanks for the lesson it was a huge help for me!!!
Great help...✨
Dios te bendiga Josh!
Good stuff.
Can you make a video about masterin muting???
How come you went back and forth between string skipping on pentatonic scales. Then with diminished you only skipped one string and didn’t go back to the string in between the skip. Pentatonic was 6th string to 4th string back to fifth string. Can anyone explain?
Because he’s Josh and he does what he wants and he goes where he wants. Seriously though, I think for diminished it creates and builds up tension when you ascend like that and not return which it pretty awesome in sound. You don’t have to do it though, do what you want and mess around with it
Great sound in this video!! Are you using the camera sound or a Mic on the camera@ 0:29-0:51??
this guy is a monster.
Such a useful lesson holy shit
Josh, this is great but I can't physically do the stretch at 6:44 because my hands are too small XD
Matt Hughes
Reposition your wrist
Stretch your fingers individually
Practice Slowly
You can see, too, in the video that Josh comes away from his position on the D (First finger, seventh fret, G string) as he is fretting the next note F three frets higher with his second finger. Josh has big hands, but I'm sure a three fret stretch like that is at least a little taxing on even him. Allowing yourself to lose that anchor on the first finger may be what you're needing
You could always switch out your neck for a smaller scale length, or buy a different guitar as an absolute last resort
Thank you Jake, I will try that!
My hands are on the smaller side and when I first started playing guitar there was no way I could make that stretch. Over time my hands adapted and yours will eventually do the same. When I make a fist with both hands and then hold out my thumb and pinky fingers, my left hand's fingers can stretch A LOT further than my right. It just takes time for your fingers to "learn" how.
LOL you should join forces with that Michaelangelo guy . also it helps on a Les Paul as you can get such a low action that even my 5 year old nephew can do this lol
One thing I still don't know...
Play an ascending sweep with a downstroke but then skip a string. Would you use a downstroke on this skipped string (like a "bunny hop") or use an upstroke?
Is he muting slightly as he plays?
+Greg Melita if you're not listening open notes then he is mutting :>
I started with sweeppickimg first and perfected it in a month....Now 13 heats later I want to learn and perfect string skipping and I'd say I'm a good 10% in that doorway. Watching and learning
Could you do a lesson on alternate picking? That would be so sick
I think he is more of a legato guy. And damn good at it.
@Doogerio Houser Glad you called that out. His alternate picking is unreal.
Man that intro was wicked
Awesome
Please do a legato lesson!
sick!
YEAH OK MAN YEAH...FANTASTIC FINGERS ON NICE ESP GUITAR 👏👏👏👏👍👍👌✌✌🙃😄

Fucking flawless playing
Does anyone have tab for this?
good
Some of it reminds me of buckethead
I have had some rsi type problems where I tore a tendon in my elbow. This was almost 8 months ago and has not really been a bother for a while now, but I also have cubital tunnel in my fretting hand.
What would you recommend me to do into gewtting into these stretchy shapes because I generally play in a very relaxed position and do not do major stretching exercises or playing as much as I used to due to the fact I do not want to retear the tendom. But I love those shapes and the sound so I really want to be able to play them
You have to play guitar at a strap length that is COMFORTABLE for you.....not cool but COMFORTABLE.Example if your arms & fingers are long you might go with a lower slung guitar,shorter arms higher strung guitar.Work things out slow & do physical excersise
Damon Stewart Beleive me I have pretty solid technique and anything to do with human ergonomics I have always been careful to look at. I always warm up with stretches and 5 minutes slow playing before I start anything strenuous. And I always play at a comfortable height
4:40 6:45 7:20
So I am not seeing why the diminished shape is in fact, "diminished". It sure sounds like it, but can anyone explain why? The intervals I am observing are a min 2nd and Maj3. What am I missing?
boneous1 I don't know if you already figured it out, but I can help you: these shapes are not based on the diminished arpeggios/chords but on the diminished scale.
It's an eight sounds scale based on an intervals sequence of 1 semitone followed by 1 tone (ex: C - Db - Eb - E - F# - G - A - Bb) or vice versa (ex: C - D - Eb - F - Gb - Ab - A - B): you see minor 2nd and major 3rd intervals due to the symmetric nature of the scale, which allows to extract from it many different harmonic structures that can be repeated on different degrees of the scale. For example, C - Db - E and Eb - E - G have the same intervals between their notes, Db - Eb - F# and E - F# - A do as well, etc.
It may seems complicated, but if you play these scales on a guitar you'll see repeating shapes that make them very easy to visualize on the fretboard.
Diminished are a minor3rd i tervals. The scale.has 4 notes. And that shape he does usee 4 of them and 2 octaves. Then he goes up 3 frets(up a minor 3rd degree) and repeats
tabs?
4:20
Hard
Anyone got the tabs?
Use your eyes and ears

Your dexterity is ridiculous, i though this vid was gonna help me loads but I can't even nearly stretch my fingers over 9 frets at speed. Any tips anybody?
practice. practice. practice. metronome. play slow. slower than you think you need to
+Soul of Cinder cheers, but what i mean is I can't stretch my fingers that far. I can play fast shred but I cant stretch across so many frets, is there anyway to be able to?
One thing you could try if you don't already. Hold the guitar in the classical position. Like how you would have to hold a V shaped guitar. I find it much more comfortable that way and easier to stretch. Other than that, no. There's no easy way or cheat to get there. You just have to make it happen
+Soul of Cinder cheers for the help, i sometimes put my guitar that way for sweeping and you're right it does help. I'll try it for this too, probably genetically my fingers just wont span that far. I broke my pinky last year and it never healed properly so that doesn't help. Whats the shortest scale guitar? Ive got a gibson les paul which is pretty short, anything out there even shorter?
I believe the new Wylde Audio guitars are the shortest scale length I've seen at 24.6 inches. I too have the same problem, short fingers. I'm Also playing a 7 string so it's even more difficult lol. Another thing that could help I just thought of. You mentioned a Les Paul. The majority of LPs Jane thick chunky necks. A thinner profile such as a Jackson, Ibanez, or Schecter could help you out.
Happy shredding!
Where are the tabs? :(
I commented on this video and put a separate imgur link that contained a snapshot of each tab from my guitarpro file if you want to look for it. Or you can go to the tab I submitted to Ultimate-Guitar
tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/josh_middleton/ultimate_string_skipping_lesson_guitar_pro_2814329
When I uploaded it to UG some of the tapping notation got left out, so the imgur links in my other comment will be easier to read. I know your comment was from a long time ago, but I hope this helps!
Medio farolillo el chavo
Yeah...he’s *sobs*..alright I guess *sobs*.

I assume you have to be better than this to become a guitar legend.... But HOW?!
Samuel Abela nah, this guy is up there with any legend easily in terms of skill and talent
get on with it
👍🎸 \m/
You really like hypnotic loops don't you?
Intro = how to scare chicks away
Tabs, anyone? please D:
Use your eyes and ears.
Awesome vid man! I recently started a channel to help beginner guitarists develop new skills and techniques! Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!
666th like fkyea \m/
misleading title-these are exercises,not a lesson in skipping strings-which involves covering the picking mechanics behind it...
Who cares? Whichever way you slice it, this was really educational, useful, and it takes a joyless bellend like yourself to be find any fault.
you always talk sh*t like that or is it just an internet thing?get a grip,no need to well up.
wierd flex, but ok
Not a real person.
Jesus fucking christ dude.....
Why spend the first 50 seconds just to flex lmao
To show he knows what he's talking about and what you can do with the technique
pff.. childs play
