This guy with his pink Hello Kitty guitar then shreds better than any metal head I've seen. Great vid!
Haha 😝
I would hope it shreds lmao, its a $1200 guitar
i use a cheap aliexpress copy which is hard to play tbh
@@bazokguitarLike Jack White recorded most of his White Stripes albums using plastic 20£ second hand guitar
@@maovi7652 And its sounds like shit, but some people like that, I dont though.
This works 100%. Doing these exercises since 2018.
Thanks for your comment!
You are one of the most efficient guitarists I've ever seen...your fingers barely move. Great lesson!
Wow, thank you 🙏
I watch Troy Grady explaining Chunking before but this video made it so clear to me. Thank you
1 week after doing this exercises in 30 minutes daily,, it's way more better than the other exercise!
Awesome! 🔥
This is one of the best tutorial of thousands video on YT!
Wow, thanks! 🙀
everything he has said is 100% correct, take notes guys.
I recently started trying the electric guitar at 56, for the first time in my life, without any prior knowledge and skill, a true beginner. This guy is so far ahead that his view on what defines a beginner is still miles ahead of an actual noob like me......
Keep going! I believe in you! 🔥
Be reassured because you are exactly in the right mind set! You'll be playing in no time ;) I started playing at 43, I'm 46 and just getting past intermediate-beginner level, never too old haha. At the level I'm at now I can see how "intermediate" is such a vast range before getting to advanced and it's easy to get lost, if you do, get a real physical guitar instructor at least for awhile to help out with that. Good luck!
I'm 75..20 years ago, Satriani said 'put on headphones and play the neck for a few years' I'm been practicing 3 finger bends for 20..half step, whole step bends.. today for the first time I said well if I'm bending up from the 10th to 12th fret on the G string, that's the tonic of a 'g' chord..or make it the 3rd of a (?) chord..play a lot of stuff slow for a few months to progress on that stuff also! Aloha
Very interesting concepts, thank you for sharing. Excellent production too!
Thanks!
Amazing! Thank you, definitely trying this approach
You got this! 💥
This, and even for advanced riffs, soloing and coordination, very fast stuff, you can do intense burst and intense exercises even if it sounds sloppy and you have a lot of tension, just repeat, if you feel your hands and arm sore it means that you worked very well because you actually used the right muscles, tendons etc... the key here after this kind of workout of method is to rest 1- 3 days of this exercises, you can use those days to practice another things (learn new stuff, harmony, theory, etc) after 72 hrs of rest, back to intense mechanical practice and prolly you will feel your hands easy and your limit is now higher, this is the overcompensation principle about stimulus, do several repetitions of intense practice and resting and you will notice progress and improvement in almost no time compared to just gradually building speed/tempo... thats how you do real progress
🔥🔥🔥
I'm glad somebody else is teaching groupings I'm going to tell you guys it really works he will excel your guitar playing I learned this in undergrad from my piano teacher
Cool, thanks!
You're welcome
Great stuff! keep it up!!
🙏
This is some of the most concise and correct information. Thank you! I'm inspired to practice
Wonderful!
great video man . keep going
Thanks, will do! 🔥
Great lesson! 🔥🔥
Thanks! 😃
Great video! Great tips! Great playing! Subbed.
Thanks for the sub! 🙌
Thank you so much for this video ❤️❤️❤️ i Will practice in this way for the rest of my life! Instantly subscribed 😁
Awesome! Thank you! 🩷
Thank you!
🫶🏻
Great advice thank you
🙌🏻
Works for a lot of disciplines. Did the same years ago lesrning pieces in the sax. Works the same in other hobbies too. Great vid.
Thanks!!! 🔥
One of the most useful and crystal clear guitar lesson.
Wow, thanks! 🔥
Thanks. That’s great advice.
💪🏻
Great tutorial, thank you for this..
You're very welcome! 🫶🏻
This is exactly what we do in classical piano technique - the part about relaxing tension at the end is key. Great video!
Yes! Thank you! 😻
Very good!!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this video, I really like the idea of Chunking as well as speeding up my picking.
Share your results! 🔥
@@bazokguitar I'll see what we can do. My wife and I set up a music room in our house, and we plan on starting jam sessions this summer.
sounds great! ❤️
Really cool. Good luck with the channel - it rocks :)
Thank you so much! 🔥
Wow.. Amazing.. Im definitely working on this.. Thank you so much brother ❤❤ just subscribed to your channel ☺
Awesome! Thank you!
Best advices!!
Thanks 😄
This guy directy to the point, more tutorial please
Sure thing! Thanks! 💥
GREAT VIDEO!!! Breaking things down into small chunks and then connecting them is key. It's something I figured out many years ago and my playing improved so much quicker. If only we had You Tube and teachers like this back then it would have shaved a few years off my skill development.
Thanks again for another excellent video 👍😎
Thanks Bro! 🔥
Mr Bazok, you are a legend ! 🤙
🙌🙌🙌
Good lesson
Thank you!
Bro that guitar rocks.
Completely agree, though it might be different for everyone. I know a lot of people follow Justinguitar and he usually advises that beginners focus on accuracy first to develop muscle memory and let speed come later. Didn’t really work for me because it just got me stuck whenever I tried to pick up the pace or use hammer-ons and pull-offs in place of picking. Now, I think that you need to just dive in and learn the movements at full speed. In fairness to Justinguitar, he is probably saying the same thing but in a different way.
Amazing video!! From my experience, what you're describing is not only effective but also somewhat inevitable - as in most great guitarists have at some point practiced in this manner, even if they never had the concept articulated for them, as highly technical music usually demands this kind of molecular discipline. I like the term "chunking" a lot!! I still think practicing structures at relatively slow tempos (or, more accurately - slow subdivisions) is extremely valuable for other reasons - fretboard mapping, developing time and pocket, gaining another perspective on the pick grips you discussed. It's important to remember that speed is not the only factor when deciding how to hold a pick. Also, a lot of music is played slowly.
Yes, you can't practice everything quickly, but guitar technique and other motor skills require such an approach to break through the wall. Thanks for the extensive comment :)
Dammit, this is too good! Bravo.
Thank you! 🙌
Nice Hello Kitty guitar and excellent lesson mate, Subscribed!🔥
Thanks!
You need more recognition!!!❤
I'm glad you think so 🥹. Please share this somewhere and help me 💜

where have you been all my life? In no time, I learned a song that I learned the old way for several weeks. Thank you so much!!!
🙏🙏🙏
Not blocked. Will definitely try this method. Thanks.
Share your results! ❤️

Hi Bazok. I hope you see this. I want to thank you for this video. It was a game changer to me. Everything you said unlocked my brain or hand, not sure yet. :) I took about 6h practicing what you shown here. For me it was important only play one note and after two, three and so one. It worked for me. And as you said: if you want to slow down because you can’t play, try to change the angle or something else. It was very important. Now I am playing much faster and clearer, specially on fast runs. My sincere thanks. 🙏🏼
Of course I read! And it's comments like these that I work for. I am glad that I can help! Share and feel at home here ❤️
As much as I love many of the popular CZcamsrs out there and they all have great content. In terms of playing fast .. and couple other topics you talked about … it’s the best most succinct..to the point video. And it actually is helpful. Actually it’s how I learned to play many things .. using chunking and it’s great. In not very fast and that’s not a primary goal of mine but I can see how beneficial it would be as well !
It's very nice to read such nice words! My goal is to strip the lessons of everything that is unnecessary. So that the time you devote to me (which is the greatest value to me) gives you satisfaction and the feeling of using it optimally. Good luck in your guitar adventure, and make yourself at home here :)
Was synchronicity of life this is XD. I was doing this today XD. Gonna do it more and more! XD
This man really knows how to practice. This is the way to practice most hobbies. Great video!
I appreciate that! ❤️
Gret vid! And makes me miss my HK guitar!
🙌
I totally agree with this method. It works 💯 but I want to add one thing if I may. The balance of the tightness you hold the pick. The balance of your fretting hand fingertips matching the picking hand stroke. A 💡 will go off in your brain when practicing a familiar 3 note per string pattern experimenting with different pick thicknesses. Try it for a month and you’ll become a sniper when you go back to old faithful. Feeling the strike of the pick per note CHANGES LIVES.
Great tip 💪🏻
Ty Sir ❤❤❤❤
🙌🙌🙌
to be honest, I like your method. its easy to catch it and study/practice.
Glad to hear that! 🙌
my man, so happy to finally meet somebody else who uses Takadimi system!
Konnakol is a beast! :)
@@bazokguitar We should perhaps add some words of gratitude to the Indian musical tradition who developed this very useful system.
I'll make a video about it :)
What a great video. I've been struggling with the start slow thing for a while, but made some serious progress recently (coincidentally practising Technical Difficulties). I'll start applying chunking to my Dream Theater passages, as that tends to be a worthy challenge.
Yeah! You got this 🔥
Good job
Thanks 🙌
Dude!! Very Rad lesson this will help me to finally be able to play that modal run section that Jake E Lee does on bark at the moon thanks man!!
Happy to help!
Bazok po ang... brawo 👍
Thanks 🙏
Awesome Dude! Aloha
🙏
Oh hell no one well one other named Tom saguto said basically same thing. I'm sold. New subscriber really enjoyed it
Welcome aboard! 🔥
I've been doing these subconsciously since I started playing guitar a year ago, I've improved a lot and these work very well! In addition, you should also train and play things that are harder than your current skill level, so you get progressively and naturally better in general!
Yes, you're right 🔥
This make perfect sense sometime in fighting game you do 15 very quick and perfectly timed input just like with guitar
Yup
I'm so glad to know that I was not wrong!! I have a tik tok video explaining this method and a lot of people said that I'm wrong, that the only method that works is playing slowly and increasing speed progresiively, thanks for this great video,you are so right!!
Glad I could help! ❤️
Kool, someone figured it out .... I learned how to play a similar technique in the 70s as a full time professional musician. Makes sense , break it down in bites or phrases . Also , if possible practice in the morning after getting a good night sleep . You'll be surprised how much better you can play and can hear notes or words in songs when fresh ! Good luck 👍😁
Very cool!
So true! I’m self taught and won shredding contests against educated musicians! Before even learning chords I would already break down some Iron Maiden solos into small bits and only play it slowly to memorize it. Then I’d go as fast as I could over and over with that one bit. I got so crazy about it that within 2 years I was playing Malmsteen Trilogy while still mastering basic chords for Beatles songs 😂
Awesome 🤩
Your next challenge… play a Malmsteen solo over a Beatles song 😂
I wished you had posted this video 25 years ago... But I'm glad you did it now.
I wish i knew that 25 years ago! 😄
Fajnie Bartku, że teraz dajesz się poznać zagranicznej publiczności jako świetny gitarzysta i nauczyciel :).
Dzięki 🙏
Thank you very much. Great video.Very useful advice. Ps Psycho by Muse,great "call". Greetings from Italy
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
Bazok, świetnie, że robisz content w j. angielskim. Tak mało Polaków to robi. Nie wiem czy to kompleksy czy o co chodzi. Życzę powodzenia na szerokich wodach anglojęzycznego YT.
Dzięki! 🔥
Hey, coincidentally after decades of being unable to play fast solos I started to learn the solo from cowboys from hell doing exactly this method, I haven't learned it yet but I'm progressing faster than I had at any attempt before. Cheers!
That's awesome! 🔥
This is the way
This is exactly what I do as well.
Great!
I didn’t realize how sloppy and inefficient my technique really is. I will attempt to correct this based on your suggestions. Thank you for the lesson!
You got this! 🫡
Cool...good stuff!
Thanks! 🙌
All guitarist should watch this video
Wow! Thanks! Please share and make it happen! 😁
I will try this as soon as I'm back home
let me know the results of the exercises 🔥🔥🔥
@@bazokguitar it work realy well to be honest , breaking faster part of song in small parts realy help with my speed , i still need to practice a tons but that was helpfull tips , il look around more of your video to find other things i can incorporate to my practice , Thx a bunch !
I'm glad it worked! 💪
Good advice. People get too focused on playing clean and "perfect". To push beyond your current limits, it'll get a little sloppy - but so what? you're just practicing. Same goes for difficult chords/chord changes as for picking speed.
Yup!
Great lesson! Man you’re playing is so clean. Good stuff
Thanks 🙏
Absolutely how it’s done. Small chunks. And then add a note or
Two until you complete the run. It’s all rhythm.
🙌
Bazok bro, can you do one for sweeps? 4-5 good sweeps that sound good together and has a good key.
Yup
Thank you im New I'm bought guitar classic this is helpful make classic guitar pls❤
Okay! :)
Thanks
Excellent video! I'm really glad I found your channel :) what pickup is in your Hello Kitty guitar? It sounds great!

@@bazokguitar thank you :)
no problem!
we want your studio tour.
Will do!
For the trickiest parts of a phrase or lick…usually string change or string skip I find this is the only way to get that part up to the speed of the rest of the part I am learning….just play that part even beyond the speed needed… suddenly the whole thing is easy.
Yup 👍🏻
4:16 that Muse riff was SOOO clean! Hot damn.
😄
I play classical guitar and can also play fast on electric even though I don't really practice, this is down to synchronization between the left and right hand. Accuracy is key.
Yep, accuracy and relaxation ❤️
I know it's clickbait but I still watch to learn new tricks and techniques
Please tell me if it was worth it :)
100% worth it! Great job
Thanks 🙏
Was this guitar from Hunter (agufish on CZcams)?😊. Nice lesson man! Thank you!
Nopeeeee, but similar 😄
Great idea, great work bro, what's the name of your guitar effect

I find that the first valuable thing to do is to watch troy grady video regarding pick escape motion and pickslanting. Without understanding which kind of pick orientation you have, also chunking is not effective on string changes, because the pick motion to escape the string could be the most ineffective one, no matter how much you practice it. Depending on the pick orientation you have some lick must be adapted to you and played reversing the stroke to gain speed (eg. up down up... instead of down up down..).
Then chunking is great, but as a second step
Theory of playing is good and valuable but experimenting is better. You can achieve optimal picking without knowledge. Just use trial and error. When you play at fast speed you eliminate bad habits intuitively 😉 With slower pace you can strengthen wrong angles and motions because at slow tempo everything works. Just trust the process and your brain 👍🏻
@@bazokguitar The problem is that there is no "wrong" angle or bad habit: DSX motion is better to change string on downstroke, USX motion is better to change string on upstroke. For instance, I've spent many years trying to play a frank gambale exercise (chop builder ex. 2) without success. I've also tried exercised ONLY that for a WHOLE year starting from a super slowly speed and incrementing by 0.25% each week. Still no way to play it at more the 87% of the real speed. After watching troy grady videos I've understood that Gambale is a USX player while I'm a DSX player. I've just reversed the pick stroke order, and that did the magic: I was able to play it at 95% without further training, and I feel that I'm not at my hard limit
@@bazokguitar Sorry, just to clarify my purpose is not to advertise other courses/trainings. It's just that the advice of "just practice slow, trust the process" to me didn't work and I wasted lot of times doing that. I feel the pain of other guitarist struggling like me on certain licks and exercise, and I've just realized that that struggling happen every time there is a mismatch between my DSX playing and the USX playing of the author of that lick, and reversing the stroke order made the trick to me. Then obviously is not enough: you still need practice, slow pace, chunking, care of the movement, but without that starting point I was simply stuck.
I see. I appreciate your comment! Glad you've made it and found the way. IMO playing slow and trusting the process is wrong. Fast trials are the key to good technique :)
Playing through a solo slow is essential for learning the notes you want to play…such as figuring out someone else’s classic solo. I don’t think he would disagree with that. His point is more about using full speed (or as close to full speed as possible) “chunking” to master playing fast. Once you know the notes you intend to play, slowed down repetitive practice at is not effective for developing the motor skills necessary to really shred.
Exactly. I thought it was explained enough and the context was clear. If not, I'm glad you wrote and developed my idea. All the best!
When you go from playing a note with the pinky to index on the next string, how do you not accidentally mute the string with the pinky? I have that problem and I'm trying to lift off the pinky after playing with the pinky, but still didn't correct that, am I looking at it wrong or?
Also I know this method works, but before this important step(asking about new techniques) do I have to focus on playing it really clean very slow first and then when that's out of the way, go for the chunky method? Thanks for the video!
Im not sure what do you mean.
You have to internalize every lick/riff before using the method. You should exactly know which finger goes where, what's the picking pattern and so on. Then you can play above your limits. Accurate repeatability is the key.
Yeah, I’m subscribing to your channel. Don’t try to talk me out of it!
Hello and welcome! 😄
Great lesson. ❤
Do you have a ta-ka-di-mi-ta lesson?
I’ve just started in English. Will be done in the near future 👍🏻
4:36 hey don't touch my scroll bar

Piękna gitara. Widzę że nawet przetwornika wymieniłeś LOL

Bending strings tutorial pls
My pick always gets hung up on strings when trying to alternate pick. Even attacking at a 45 degree angle. Is there any recommended string gauges and pick hardnesses that are better for that?
Nope, it’s just practice. Maybe you do sth wrong?
Search for Troy Grady (cracking the code)
yep, that's a great reference
