New, intermediate, and self taught guitar players, hear me out - This is a freaking gold mine of knowledge that can save you years of frustration. Thanks Mike!
Absolutely. Needed this training in 1987.
I agree 100%, I've been playing for over 30 years, basically self taught, I wish this valuable advice was available when I first started playing instead of having to take the last few years to fix the bad habits and bad technique holes I fell into, I'm always learning something new thanks to great vids like this.
“Be consistent with your fingering” was the most broadly applicable piece of life advice I was ever given.
Your lessons are miles above every other channel on youtube. Super realistic and 0 fat added

a lot of great tips thanks, jeff Ontario Canada.
I watched another video from this fellow, it was so long winded, I didn’t want to watch another, even though it was great info. After watching a few more and this vid, this is pure gold, the sort of things new guitar players might never be taught properly, if mentioned at all… thanks!
Muy buenisima leccion , bueno fuera que traducieras tus videos , graciasaas amigo
all clear, the problem is being able to do it, when you have small hands and short fingers...
Great job Mike. This is PURE GOLD man.
I assume all these tips also for acoustic?
Wow, this is everything a beginner should know wrapped in one great video.
Great lesson! Thanks!
Damn I love this video
Thanks, Mike! You're very cool! 🤟
please make downpicking technique or lesson mike
look up strict alternate outside picking vs inside directional economy picking.
Thanks a ton for the mega helpful video!
I watched the introductory video and came away skeptical. I found the tips in this video very useful.
Great lesson. I’m a fingerstyle player looking for ways to improve speed accuracy and ear hand relationship. Thanks
Get a violin.
Great content a little, no a lot mind blowing, if you have or could make this in easy to hardest would be nice. To you I’m sure all appear easy to me headache in less time than finger pain. New subscriber🛎🥊
Amazing video, very much appreciated. I watched your Guitar Speed Blitz Video Master Class as well. Some really good pointers in there too.
Paul Gilbert does use fingers 1 3 and 4 for whole step scales
Bending the wrist that extreme is also dangerous
Priceless!
Amazing. Now how do I remember all of these when I play?
No kidding!
try strict alternate outside picking to train slow and directional inside picking(mike and tom hess) to help. Strict alternate helps big time in memory. Directional economy picking for fun and speed.
Use a 0.88-1 mm pick to slow down and get it right with a metronome.
Upstrokes to start note sequences from higher to lower pitches and downstrokes for lower to higher pitches as a rule of which way to pick a note.
Take it in small steps.
Paul's (Gilbert) elbow is not moving because he is relaxed, it is moving so that each finger is placed on the string in the same position relative to the fingertip. Also, his finger is "over the top" of the string on pull-offs because that is where it is meant to be (tip -muting)
I get the feeling that a lot of your "hacks" are simply are a result of you resorting to using the correct technique.
Yep. I couldn't hack it with sh*tty technique. So, resorting to using the correct technique it is.
Another priceless lesson. Thanks a lot 👍🍻
uauuuu
thank you soo much !
About the very last tip with the thumb, I feel like the finish on my guitar is sticky, it's very easy to control my thumb slowly but way harder at higher speeds when doing position shifts. Is it that my grip is still a little too tight or am I missing something?
examine how your picking hand is interacting with fretting hand. i found 1.5 mm too fast for my fretting hand with my fretting hand tensing up. i use 0.88 mm to 1 mm picks now.
@@5zazen I'm using a 1.2 mm but that wasn't an issue. I finally fixed the problem when watching Dean Lamb from Archspire play diminished runs. His hand is fairly relaxed but I noticed that his whole arm was very loose too. I would starting tensing up my forearm or biceps in the middle of fast runs. Then it was just a matter of realizing how relaxed the whole arm can be if you try and make it like a "wet noodle". The hand and fingers are using just enough tension to perform the required technique, it feels amazing.
My advice to you... Start your videos with you playing something. I was wondering, does this guy know how to play, or just talk about playing?... I did several searches and got my answer. I stumbled across your (10 year old) video while looking for answers as to why my old fingers won't do what I ask them to do anymore (I'm old), but your video touches on something I've been wanting to know for 40 years. How hard to finger the breadboard. How to practice correctly. How to play without causing so much hand fatigue. Best way I can put it is to say, some players dance on the fret-board with ballet slippers, and I play like I'm wearing combat boots... Since I just discovered your channel, I obviously haven't had time to practice what you preach, but I will surely start now. Thank you!
Love your lessons!
Hey ive used your directional picking tips they are excellent. I also use strict alternate picking to practice slow. I like the concept of pick direction according to note direction, ascending or descending.
My left hand fretting is very strong, i circumvented this a bit by using a thinner pick ,0.88-1 mm however there are divots in the frets.
Im using your direction picking on my left and right handed guitars i play both.
just keep in mind you add a slight delay using softer picks.

Thx for your comments. I started guitar right handed 1987, 2005 left handed. Only last month did i learn to hold the pick between side of index finger and thumbtip(thx Theo Ziras!) with picking hand c shape and palm on base of guitar(previous index finger tip and thumbtip is incorrect 1987-2023). Not one teacher ever corrected me, metal method, reh vids guitar player didnt help but perhaps i wasnt paying attention though. Ive learned directional inside economy picking last week and alternate outside picking. I use strict alternate picking for pick attack and slow training for note memory and creativity while directional picking is for speed and lessening frustration although its harder to keep time as im very explosive. I always use down picking for lower to higher tones and upstroke higher to lower tones to start note sequences as a rule but if im alternate strict picking i try to follow note sequences for picking direction and slant. I very much like Mikes training here its much better than i ever had in the late eighties.
I use the thinner picks the delay makes it easier for my fretting hand to keep up the slowing down makes error detection easier for example during string transfers. I also like the thin feel and the bright tone of thinner picks as i train with amp off. I like the pick bend when sweeping too. Now i use 0.88 to 1 mm picks. My recording on my channel i used a 1.5 mm pick which i used two decades. To me the 1.5 mm pick is dull sounding and transfers picking errors to the fretting hand plus its too easy to pick so again harder to detect errors which to me causes excessive fretting hand pressure i have divots in the frets on the right handed strat in part due to this. So the pick width and directional economy picking and alternate outside strict picking stops frustration, you can hear how strong my pick attack is in my videos.
My playing is getting better although i have a unique sound you can hear it in my videos theres a nice depth in my playing, again these videos were with incorrect pick holding and ad libbed alternate picking it still sounds good but im still improving.
I train daily on left and right handed guitars.
@@5zazen same except i play right handed guitars right and left handed/ upside down.
Being fast means nothing
