  • How do great players learn complex picking movements on their own? The amazing Oz Noy explains, in his trademark supremely chill fashion, how he finds his way through complicated picking sequences by searching for the smoothest possible motion. www.troygrady.com/interviews/o...

    The way he blends string skipping, alternate pickin and sweeps and makes it look effortless is really inspirational.

      He's super condescending, how can an attitude like that appeal to the people here? Why would an artist purposely ignore the intricacies of technical skill? He himself said that mechanics are a tool, so why is he so rude about people wanting to explore them more deeply?

      Andy Pollow He wasn't condescending. But he was trying to make the point that technique isn't an end unto itself, it's a means to make music. It's possible to be too concerned about the mechanics. These days too many people treat technique like an Olympic sport, much to the detriment of musicality.

  • @adamrasmussen9939
    @adamrasmussen9939 Před 4 lety +1

    One of the things that really improved my playing was memorizong many areas to play each conventional chord shape. Like a D shape played at the 8th fret instead of the 3rd is a different G voicing, or an E shape at the 5th fret is also a G (lazy barre chord) or an A shape, at the 12th fret is also another G, or a C-shape with the root at the 10th fret is another G chord, very similar to the previous D shape at the 8th fret, but with a lower root, and no B note from the high e string.
    Once you can do that, and then remember your basic chord progression for the particular key you are plating in you're all set. Learining to string them all together, deciding when to end the current shape, and where/how to start the next one and getting your muscle memory trained to just grab those little metal bars strictly by how they feel is like making magic happen the first time you do it, and then when the improvisational skill catches up, and you know you can confidently jam with 90% of radio music its like magic....again.
    Watching him lament the difficulty connecting them all hit me...hard. As a fellow non-sweeper (not a good one, anyway) I felt it.....right here (points to heart......with misty eyes). I can down sweep okay, but the upsweeps comtinue to elude me.

    I think this is the closest I've seen to my own approach. There's no real formula, it's just feel and following the path of least resistance. When starting fast runs I'm still not sure if I always start on an downstroke or upstroke. I have worked out that it's always downstroke on string change descending and reverse ascending.
