I've noticed that technique in Steve Vai's playing too. At first I was baffled, and tried to emulate it, but it was really difficult. Then one day as I was playing I looked at my right hand in the mirror and noticed that I was actually doing it instinctively. It's one of those things that just happens eventually, if you've been practicing with the precursor techniques like using your wrist as a fulcrum for your picking hand ( as opposed to your whole forearm ) and resting the heel of your palm / top of your wrist on the bridge. The main key for getting to that kind of dynamic picking is keeping your right hand as relaxed as possible. It's not the kind of thing where anyone thinks "oh, time to wiggle my thumb around to pick these notes", it's just a totally natural motion. 6 years of playing is great, but remember that a player like Takayoshi has been playing since he was like 12 years old. I'm not saying that it's really important, you could become world class in 6 years if you practiced your ass off, but just don't be too hard on yourself comparing your technique to people like Takayoshi or Steve Vai. It takes a looooongggg time. Always improve!

烈奏ギター道場. It's a instructional book from Young Guitar.

evening ninja he does so many that very completely pointless if you didn't notice lol.

There's a very good use for it, at least I think. It makes all the sustained notes pop out with all that treble but gets rid of the pick attack.

@@HeartOfMetalx11 pointless he use it for bends and vibrato its so precise you could not tell lol

@@switchmusic3099 naw your eyes missed what im seeing i know the purpose but a lot of times he would flick it into position when it was already in that position. Its just pointless littlr flair to give to his playing. I play guitar im not an idiot.

@@HeartOfMetalx11 its a shame you don't get it

Leonardo Alejandro Reyna thing is his tone is so crap you don't hear the difference really in his switching because hes always playing so fast he has no real dynamics...don't even say he does either because he doesn't.and some of the switches he makes are pointless he will switch from neck top bridge and back to bridge before he even plays a note....hes still a great guitarist it's just he has no soul in his playing and his tone is crap too much reverb

Leonardo Alejandro Reyna but he does switch and switch back before even playing a note a lot of the time

@@HeartOfMetalx11 Hate comment much? Please post your video with better technique and tones.

@@awonderingoneil206 i could just dont feel like it. You have to admit this is washed out his reverb is on max everytime he stops playjng the feedback hurts my ears. And he switches his transitor switch then switxhes it back without even playing notes ...if he thinks thats some kind of flair its just pointless. . Its not hate its pointing out a fact.

@@HeartOfMetalx11 I feel judging him on a recording made six years ago is a bit harsh. Have you seen his playing since? It's awesome. His personal tone and technique especially with circle picking is immaculate. I will admit here that reverb sits a little off in the mix, But, he is using a amp lent to him here, not his usual rig. I'd expect some abnormalities you no. I think he uses Kemper profiling now.

agreed unf while he is a great technical player, as a composer he is really snore inducing. I have both of his first two albums and I can summarize them like this; uninspired. uneventful and non-risk-taking. Everything song on the albums sounds like every famous guitarist could have done them. There is no personality and worst of all none of the songs says anything. As I said I respect and adore Takayoshi for how great he is technically but he is not a musician that will go down in history for doing good music.

HotsDonutz Really? With songs like High Works, In a Rough State and Pleasant Surprise, he is uninspired. uneventful and non-risk-taking? Well, maybe "his style isnt my cup of tea" is a better summarization.

gungrave10 i recently discovered Liv Moon: killer stuff as well!!!

palikiro puti great player. but great tone......lol no way his tone is shit its muddy it doesn';t have enough treble. theres no dynamic to his playing and he just washes it all up with way to much reverb...his tone is the first thing I hated when I listen to him play.

You're just asking for liver failure.

Watch his video all day. Drank 31 beer... lol

WARNING!!!!!! never do this game with a Joe Stump video!
