How To Improve Your String Picking Accuracy EASILY
Thanks, man!
Very welcome!
just subscribed. great lesson !
Thanks so much! 🙏🏼
I'm so used to upstroking the g string then sweeping down the b and e
A lot of players are too! Certainly nothing wrong with that. No need to change that, just get it as good as you can. For me, I see it as a missed opportunity to actually get a decent sweep in there. Three in a row! It CAN be tricky to hop that G string to do so, I’ll admit…..;)
The first downstroke on the G string trips me up. Have to consciously remember to switch to down stroke there.. all the momentum before then is all ups. Great stuff as always Kelly
I get that! Once you overcome that, you’ll enjoy being able to actually SWEEP across those strings. Otherwise, you’d only be doing two strings at a time before having to switch direction. It’ll sound better too…..thanks man!
How much would you say your guitar setup and effects impacts your ability to play sweeps cleanly at tempo? If you take away any EQ and effects and just run straight out of the bridge pick up or if you were doing them on an acoustic could you do them as cleanly or do you find amplification and effects actually make it harder to play without unwanted string noise at tempo?
Good question! Gain and effects can certainly make one THINK that they played it well. This approach (in the video) works towards us not needing to rely on those things so much. Always strive to improve your fundamental technique and you’ll be solid on any instrument.
I've always had BOTH sloppy left and right hand for sweeping. A friend of mine who is also a guitar teacher had an exercise for the left hand that helped. I never approached sweeping for the right hand like this. I think this will help.
I think I know the exercise you’re referring to. I might cover that one next actually… I think you’ll find this one just as helpful hopefully!

Thanks a ton!
makes huge sense ans sounds fricking awesome mate greets australia
Thanks so much! 🇦🇺
Hey dude , be checking this out later
Excellent! Lets me know how it goes 😎
You are a life saver
Thanks so much! Hope it’s helped!
☎ Isn't anyone going to answer the phone?!
😂
You are so correct Kelly!!! 👏🏻🎸👏🏻
Thank you, Heidi!
Started learning bending last week. Watched your video on improving the quality of bend. Thanks for your tips. You da man !!!!
Excellent Kiran! I hope the video helps in your progress!
Great video man thank you
Very welcome….thanks for watching!
a short and extremely useful video!!!!!
Thank you for checking it out!
Thank you! I just wanted to mention quarter note triplets suck :)
Haha! They’ll getcha! 😅

Very welcome, David!
Just found your videos on my homepage. Subscribed and bookmarked a few videos. Thanks for the instructional videos for a noob like me. :)
Awesome! Thanks so much…..glad you’re here! 😀
Thank you so much
Very welcome!
Curious what pick that is. Looks chunky and grippy. I am currently play the 2.0mm John petrucci picks which I really like but they are slick and hard for me to keep ahold of.
This is the “Nulclear Cheddar” from Swiss Picks. It’s a 1.80, and the raised holes act as the grip. Check them out at www.swisspicks.com !
Loved the way you just got straight into it. No intro music or ‘like and subscribe’. I subscribed. 😆
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Ive never seen anyone explain this as well as you do. Whenever someone makes a video about pull offs they refer to them as "flicks" rather than "slips" (they use more force to "flick" the string) and they only demonstrate on the high E string to avoid contact with other strings, and they never demonstrate how to pull it off (no pun intended) on other strings. I finally get pull offs now, minimal movement, just slips. Thank you
Yeah, the typical explanation never satisfied me either. Thanks so much!
Amazing practice tip mate!👌I will be using this to practice the intro of "Don't Stop Believing". There's a part where guitarist Neil Schon did this exercise slow before speeding up. SUBSCRIBED!🙏
Awesome! Let me know how it goes! 🙏🏼
@@KellyKGuitar It Worked!😀 I did it just right now after watching your video and I nailed it🙏.YT algorithm recommended me this video, and it's the perfect tip to what I'm learning. (please listen to the Intro lick of "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.) There's a relatively easy cool lick that starts slow and then goes to blistering speed, it becomes a bit difficult to play clean, but after 10 minutes. (2x 5 minutes focusing only on it, I can now play it up to speed.) Thanks again and cheers!👏
@2good2betrue3 Yes, that’s a cool lick Awesome! Those are some mighty fast results!
I found myself economy picking the first 3 notes in the A minor arpeggio, followed by alternate picking for the rest. That's how I learned to play that arpeggio and it feels natural to me. Am I missing out on anything by doing so? Edit: I should probably mention that the A minor arpeggio with the tonic/root on the 12th fret was the first arpeggio I ever learned.
That’s perfectly fine! This muted string method would certainly benefit EVERY picking method a player would choose for a particular lick. I just happened to focus on alternate for this one….:)
Great advice. Thanks Kelly. Be well.
Thanks much, Johnny. You as well….hope it helps!
Excellent! Thank you for sharing!
Very welcome!
India won the cricket T20 men world cup 2024 🎉🎉🎉
Neat this is how I learned them but it was two notes on the high E.
Hey, that could work too! 😀
Appreciate your video!
Thanks very useful. Would palm muting the lower strings also be an option?
Thanks! 🙏🏼 Yes, palm muting the lower strings is the only way to keep that set of strings quiet. The basic rule is that your fretting hand index finger mutes the strings higher (in pitch) than what you’re currently fretting…..and your picking hand takes care of the strings lower than currently being played.
i really love your idea for creating your own exercise, i will start doing it thanks . Did you pickup this chord progression from " The Final Count down " :p
Awesome, by all means! No, I didn’t realize that song had the same progression….but I see that it does. Funny coincidence!
@@KellyKGuitar I only noticed it cause I tried couple of rock songs progression/melody transfer to Trance tracks.... starting from main progression, taking it as arpeggio, and start doing an intro , play notes from the chords as a build up (via midi ) + Abelton Daw ...then the drop should be the main melody song + LEAD bass . and guess what .....your chord progression was my 1st trial in this project last year :)
Very cool!
It's been somewhat two weeks that I finally understood these harmonics. It happened that I was doing them with bare hand alone, but always wondered what I got wrong when using a pick. For my surprise, it was just the same goddman thing: One finger plucks the string, the second gentle touchs it nearly the same time. Same thing for the pick. It plucks the string, them your thumb smoothly touchs it. Never rotating the hand, as you said. Ever since I learned, couldn't stop playing Forsaken by Dream Theater. Still hard to do pinch harmonics going upstroke. 😅
Yes, it can be a tricky thing to understand! Upstrokes pinch harmonics ARE possible. Keep in mind, they still involve the thumb! ;)
I don't know why I never thought of muting during a bend with my left hand (I'm left handed in this case). I've been noticing that my picking hand is holding me back and I need to stop all the noisy sweeping, bending and arpeggios during fast passages with that. Thank you so much! So simple yet effective!
Very welcome! Glad it helped!
What's up man ,hope your well .
Hey Dave! All good here….hope you are too!
Love it. The topics you cover are so fresh for me! Thanks man
Thanks so much, Naush! Glad you’re digging these!
Thanks bud, finnaly solved my bending problem. I always muted the upper strings with my palm but it was really easy to mute the string I was bending when I did that. Its funny how simple the answer is. Guitar is such a fascinating instrument, I'm always finding new and better ways to do things, I swear its impossible to get bored of it.
You’re absolutely right; always a learning process on this instrument! Thanks so much, Cody!
I'm going to start practicing again, I haven't played much in years. I took lessons from you 25 years ago, I still have a binder full of all the tabs you wrote out for me
Oh wow, that’s amazing! Awesome that you still have the “tome” too…😀
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks Drew! 😎🤘🏻
Fucking simple, smart and straight to the point. A man of wisdom
Thanks so much! 🙌🏻
Is your strings very close to the frets or far away from strings?
Not too close. I don’t like them too be in danger of buzzing. ;)
Great content man🤘 Kind of an oddball question: I've been practicing Paul Gilbert's Intense Rock video legato section like its my religion. Probably about 6-8 hours a day and maybe 2-3 when I have work. Is it possible to burn yourself out from playing the same licks? I feel like I can get the licks slowly and eventually up to a close speed...but it seems if I step away to practice a song or anything else...its like once I go back to those licks, my fingers dont have it, and I have to start from ground zero. It seems like it's impossible for my mind and fingers to absorb these
Thanks so much! First off…..amazing channel name! 😂 The answer to your question is YES! It is absolutely possible to burn out on anything. Especially if you constantly push for speed. Of course, you want to test yourself, but I would be sure to spend longer stretches of time on “horizontal” gains…..controlled and playing for longer periods of time. Of course this will be at a lower tempo that you’re capable of, but this is a highly overlooked aspect to the development of the technique I suspect you’re striving for. :)
This is yoga! I don't bend that way on purpose. I did once and farted!
Oh you will! 😅
Great stuff here thx 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
as a beginner i prefer not warming up
It’s an inevitability. Whether you’re the type to deliberately warm up with specified exercises, or just play for a while…….everyone “warms up” whether they know it or not. ;)
I seriously cannot express how amazed I am by the instant effectiveness of your advice. Those pesky bends in the pink floyd solos were making me go crazy
Awesome! So glad you found it helpful!
Thumbs up. Nice approach and very useful and ( I'm not an expert) feels correct. And it's helped. Thanks 🙏
Thanks so much, Simon! Glad it’s helped!
