To those who struggle and find it boring to hit dumb 4 notes in loop for hours: 1. Your muscels need time to develop 2. your brain needs time to establish and optimize links that will allow you to stay precise and in sync 3. right hand has to learn to play i sync with left hand. And precise picking is as much important as hitting fretboard. Takes a lot of time too. 4. It helps you to learn to stay focused and in line when you want to get loose and start "improvising" While these exercises are booooring they do alot on background. Keep it simple.
wew... and i in my 38th thought i was to late to the party. Anyway it is superb to keep that enthuiasm to learn new things and skills regardless of the age. Additionaly it forces brain to develop new links and helps to keep it healthy.
I’ve been playing 15 ish years and have definitely skill blocked myself from not doing these things. For new guitarists, definitely practice the fundamentals! And keep rocking 🤘🏼
I found it weird practicing "1,2,3,4" so I tried it with a major scale and it felt alot better and I find myself playing through the scale faster, I never practiced with a metronone when I was first learning so I can play semi fast but completely out of rhythm. This video helped alot!
My problem is that after I make a bad note, I stop and rage for 10 seconds. I have to learn to continue, but I think this exercise is really great for a beginner. Thanks, man!
The mindset has to be to NOT CARE about failure>>> if you are NOT failing then you are not challenging yourself... so USE THAT FAILURE as a TOOL to determine at what speed you can play & not be able to play well>>> if you go just a little slower than that you will practice at your top speed & keep everything clean... this builds confidence & you see progress & then you make failure your friend not your frustration bcuz it helps you know what you need to practice & at what speed to OPTIMIZE your growth... so failure is your friend... that's the reason its called practice & if you challenge yourself then when you play live it is easy since you are not challenging yourself to fail LIVE! I hope that helped bcuz the mental aspect is huge if you are going to overcome every challenge & be a musician at whatever level you can achieve thru out your life & for LIFE!
My cousin teached me this exercise three years ago when I was learning to play the bass. It did wonders in my beginner hands. I'm struggling to play faster riffs on the guitar even after a year or so, I had forgotten how useful playing notes with a metronome like this is. Thank you man!
I will try this. I've been playing for a couple of year's but I seem stuck at one speed. If I try to speed up my fingers just seem to have a mind of their own and I mess it up. My pinky just don't want to do what I want it too. There are days when I just want to throw the guitar out the window and give up. I practice nearly everyday for a couple of hours each time. So will practice this and see how I go. My little finger tends to turn inwards I've tried many exercises for my fingers but had no luck. I don't want to stop playing as it's something that helps with being on my own most the time. Thanks for sharing.
Focus on getting finger independence first, when all of your fingers are capable to work independently gaining speed becomes easier and faster process ofc right hand technique is also important take few weeks of simply focus on getting fingers to work independently.
This is getting to be fun for me now. It's starting to make sense. Being a drummer, I have beats pretty well timed. Now, trying to learn guitar, I was as lost as an Easter egg in tall grass. Now I see some "view" before me. Thanks Owen!!!
i also do like the spider exercise but i will switch strings while doing it so 6 string with my index 5 with my middle and then 6 with my ring and 5 again with my pinky
No matter how lightly I play, I can't seem to properly alternate pick on my higher strings (the GBE ones that aren't coiled), the strings always slap into the pick when I'm trying to pick again and mute themselves, it's painful and Idk if it's me or my £70 guitar
Tried the free cheat sheet but video drops out too much. not sure whats up if its on your end or mine. im running at 10 mbs so that should be ample for video streaming. ???
Did ur metronome pickup speed when pick g went to dble time and back to slow when not, or was it a trick my ears play on me ? Could swear I heard an off beat tick but could be my ipads sou d not great either

In my opinion it's more useful to do this with different scales going through all keys because then you're practising your theory as well.
wait till people see singing excercises lol
Getting tense seems to be my problem, after getting tense I get frustrated. This video is helping me a lot. Thanks Owen.
Probably the best lesson on the internet on how to improve speed which is important to me as a 73 y.o. newbie struggling guitar student.

Good on ya! I'm 66 practice 3 hours a day... 👍👍

Well said!
@@GuitarMasteryMethod and thank you for making these lessons free! Really appreciated.
How did you learn to play fast without exercises? Just going for it until it was fast?
I found it weird practicing "1,2,3,4" so I tried it with a major scale and it felt alot better and I find myself playing through the scale faster, I never practiced with a metronone when I was first learning so I can play semi fast but completely out of rhythm. This video helped alot!

Thanks, man!
i usually rage longer time

Thanks for the exercises. I know this video is 5 years old but learning new things as a beginner never gets old.
Happy to help!
Great Owen, I love the way you can make me understand things easier

Great exercises! Just practiced! Will shoot to practice this daily. Speed is one of my biggest issues right now with my playing.

pinky finger not cooperating
Ringfinger for me
Make it!! Show that belligerent pinky who's boss!
REAL
It's the runt

Thanks Owen - helps a lot - breaks it all down - good practice tips.
I know this video is old, but it really helped me out. Much thanks, even though it's unlikely you'll ever see this.
This is getting to be fun for me now. It's starting to make sense. Being a drummer, I have beats pretty well timed. Now, trying to learn guitar, I was as lost as an Easter egg in tall grass. Now I see some "view" before me. Thanks Owen!!!
Hows it goin?
finally getting my groove better. going to practice the finger exercises n rythm great!
awsome lesson owen your lessons r great
Been playing since 1987. Never too late to learn anything. Guitar soothes me and excites me at the same time.
Great lesson Owen. I use it in different variations and speeds with the metronome on to get the rhythms clean.
Thanks, brother you explain very nicely good for a beginner(22nd day) like me
now I can pick up & down nicely :D
took only a few minutes to learn it
You are making me a better guitarist Owen, cheers buddy
@@GuitarMasteryMethod Just saying you make seemingly hard stuff easy. You have a great method of breaking it all own
Thank you for this lesson I was stuck and couldn't figure out how to play with a metronome
Rock on!
Thanks I tried this exercise and this tutorial very helpful for me I unblocked my hand and now I play very fast God bles you :)
Been trying to learn how to start soloing as I progress throughout my guitar journey. Thank you for the tips.
Great lesson, thanks! I struggle with going from one string to the next. I always have a little gap in the time.
Happy to help!
Thankyou...💖💖👍👍
Monster lesson Owen. Thank you.
I really love this was a really simple start to fast picking and a simple riff rather than something really complicated. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
@@GuitarMasteryMethod You're welcome!
Willie Well done Owen you make a small exersize sound great
1:30 I thought for sure you were gonna bust out hoobastank 🎶 I'm not a perfect person....🤣
Ive been playing 10 years. And yet these excercises are tough.
Ive always had trouble with this… for the past 20 or so years lol.. i can play little bursts of fast licks but I haven’t the stamina
4:23 sounds like “the man’s who sold the world”
God bless you for this Owen
Another great improving guitar picking lesson Owen
This is helping me to break out of my habit of being stuck with playing only the 4th notes.
Thanks you, very good
much needed info. Thank you
Thank You, Owen. You are my favorite.
Hi Owen Thanks for this great lesson

best exercise.. ty
Thank you too!
Very Good, thank you.

Q: Why do you appear to have a capo near your locking-nut?

Thank you Owen. that really helps me. Excellent :)

Thanks Owen!
very informative.
Thanks Owen great lesson
Cool speed bursts🤙🏼 John Petrucci calls it a Spanish Circle😅
Thx Owen! best regards to the Team greetings from the Netherlands Mate!! ps is this the Mexican EVH Guitar??
Thx again must be better than the cheaper Indonesian version I guess???
NGL, this workout really improved my thumb on my fretting hand.
Great teacher
i also do like the spider exercise but i will switch strings while doing it so 6 string with my index 5 with my middle and then 6 with my ring and 5 again with my pinky
Woohooooooo new level unlocked 🔓
It turns out my left hand has been fast all this time but my right hand wasn't plucking fast enough.
metronome starts at 100bpm if that helps anyone
Just realised my ringfinger is not really that well coordinated with the rest of the three, thanks :)
No matter how lightly I play, I can't seem to properly alternate pick on my higher strings (the GBE ones that aren't coiled), the strings always slap into the pick when I'm trying to pick again and mute themselves, it's painful and Idk if it's me or my £70 guitar
1:14
Are you from New Zealand?
Thanks , where r you from ?
Would it maker it easier if I changed the strings because mine are all really loose
It might help if you use 'heavier gauge' strings. These are a little thicker. :)
THANK U WATCH .
Question are your resting your palm on the bridge?
Tried the free cheat sheet but video drops out too much. not sure whats up if its on your end or mine. im running at 10 mbs so that should be ample for video streaming. ???
@@GuitarMasteryMethod i figured it out and thanks for the reply
bro is guitar jesus
I think i experienced a 50% increase in speed just after hearing the word "Relax"
What's the thing around the 1st fret?
@@GuitarMasteryMethod Thanks very much for the info - I've never seen one of those before!
Exact I was in this level
John Wick taking 🎸 classes in alternative World ❤️
What if you play pick-less?
Hi ... What is that on the neck near the nutt, it looks like wrist band?
IS THAT AN EVH WOLFGANG I SEEEE????
Did ur metronome pickup speed when pick g went to dble time and back to slow when not, or was it a trick my ears play on me ? Could swear I heard an off beat tick but could be my ipads sou d not great either
my left hand not working
it just takes time and patience. Keep up the good work :)
@@GuitarMasteryMethod
i had some few a years for speed licking practice but, my left finger still stiff, and finally i just play simple melody lol
Now i can play like Malmsteen (i can't)
Eres Jesús?
Pinky.exe has stopped responding
Down picking please Owen..
after +-30 seconds of fast downpicking my hand refuses to work
i go from horrible to slightly bad
Been learning piano for 17 years, but guitar fret pressing is getting the hell out of me🥲 tho just 2 weeks spent, will surely play good one day😌
Thank you so much great lesson.
great lesson thank you so much.
