Thanks, man!

just subscribed. great lesson !

I'm so used to upstroking the g string then sweeping down the b and e

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

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?

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.

makes huge sense ans sounds fricking awesome mate greets australia

Hey dude , be checking this out later

You are a life saver

☎ Isn't anyone going to answer the phone?!

You are so correct Kelly!!! 👏🏻🎸👏🏻

Started learning bending last week. Watched your video on improving the quality of bend. Thanks for your tips. You da man !!!!

Great video man thank you

a short and extremely useful video!!!!!

Thank you! I just wanted to mention quarter note triplets suck :)

Thank you for this video, awesome 🎸

Just found your videos on my homepage. Subscribed and bookmarked a few videos. Thanks for the instructional videos for a noob like me. :)

Thank you so much

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.

Loved the way you just got straight into it. No intro music or ‘like and subscribe’. I subscribed. 😆

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

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!🙏

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.

Great advice. Thanks Kelly. Be well.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing!

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.

Appreciate your video!

Thanks very useful. Would palm muting the lower strings also be an option?

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

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. 😅

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!

What's up man ,hope your well .

Love it. The topics you cover are so fresh for me! Thanks man

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.

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

🤘🏻🤘🏻

Fucking simple, smart and straight to the point. A man of wisdom

Is your strings very close to the frets or far away from strings?

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

This is yoga! I don't bend that way on purpose. I did once and farted!

Great stuff here thx 👏👏👏

as a beginner i prefer not warming up

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

Thumbs up. Nice approach and very useful and ( I'm not an expert) feels correct. And it's helped. Thanks 🙏

The man with the best controlled fretting hand

Nice nuanced way to explaining tension

Always helpful lessons!
