Do You SUCK at Picking? Here's ONE Simple Fix!!
➤ Grab the Lesson Reference Material here: www.guitarmast...
If you think your guitar picking sucks, don’t worry, you’re not alone.
Guitar picking was something I’ve struggled with for a long time before I finally realized what kind of picking practice and picking exercises are needed to get a good handle on that technique.
Now that I’ve discovered them and since put them to the test, I am passing down to you a picking exercise that will clean up your guitar picking in no time!
This lesson will be pretty straightforward, I’m going to show you a particular picking exercise that is going to get your alternate picking clean, even, and precise.
But while it’s tempting to work speed into picking exercises like this, we want to focus more on the precision and movement of our picking hand.
So I’ll show you this picking exercise and break it down for you, piece-by-piece, and go over the exact picking movements to get through each part. After that, all you have to do is repeat the picking exercise as many times as it takes to get the overall feel of your picking practice.
We’ll even go over a little hack to get your guitar picking much cleaner as you go across all of your strings!
By the end of the lesson you’ll have more than enough tools for picking practice to get your picking far, far out of the “suck” category and start making some serious progress.

How to hold the pick is such a basic skill, but most teachers barely mention it, even though for adult beginners it is really a challenge. I think we see too many possibilities. Great lesson, thanks.
If you actually look at the way you are picking, you may notice that not only are you doing as you said, but you are also angling the pick while you are picking. Which in turn will create a glancing motion on the string.
First thing I noticed too.
Me too... isn’t it funny how a lot of teachers say something but do something different so true in golf too
@@brianbaker5640 Just got my clubs redone and hope my golfing ends up better than my guitar picking, LOL!
Agreed - it’s an angle down PLUS a bit of a twist toward the bridge of the guitar that is actually happening here to keep the pick contact area to a minimum. 👍🏻👍🏻
Yeah I noticed that too As soon as he starts picking he automatically goes into a slanting motion
Great tutorial,just picked up an electric for first time in 41years.
Acoustic ruled me all those decades.
Eddie, you are one of the best instructors I have ever seen/heard. You take nothing for granted in ones knowledge and motivate me to practice practice practice with nothing missing in what and how I should proceed. Thank you so much and Guitar Mastery Method will retain me as a life long learner! Rock on Brother!
Literally me in the beginning
I have to comment that your teaching , speed (slow) , and explanations of what you are doing is amazing. I look forward to many more lessons from you!
I like the smile Eddie has after he picked it really fast..I have that same grin when I do something awesome as well.
I do suck at picking and I really like this exercise...you're a good teacher.
Great new exercise.
I'm a GMM student but I love to pop on utube and do these quick lessons .
Glad you like them!
Brilliant tips Eddie. Your lesson has got to be the best I have come across. And you hit the nail on the head when saying, "a powerful new exercise".
You failed to mention that aside from tilting the pick down you rotate it off horizontal from the strings to cut down friction. But as mentioned by some, "simple fix" is relative to if you can do the three note per string stretch comfortably. But a nice lesson all the same. Stay Well Groovy One.
i remember someone showing me a similar scale, but i can never get my pinky to cooperate with me. so i approach most scales differently, i use my 3rd finger in place of my pinky.
the only downside is, i have to stretch a little more but not too much.
Finally! A perfect picking technique video. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
great video, man. straight to the point. you saved the jokes and ads to the end. that is precious. thanks a lot. I'm a left-handed who plays right-handed. a few years away from the guitar made my picking technique real lousy. thanks again
Nicely done. It also looks like you're rotating your pick during play in addition to the slanting it downward. You might not notice it.
@@GuitarMasteryMethod Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. I'll give it a try and see what happens. Your videos have been a huge help.
Once again, Eddie!! You once again you show us why you are one of the best!!! Thank you for all you do.
FINALLY someone does a decent picking lesson! Everyone else just says "play this pattern" which does NOT cause a speed increase. I reached a peak of speed but STILL cant play faster no matter how many times I play the pattern. Now I am going to try that pick angle and see if it causes an increase! Alternate up and down picking did help, but ONLY to a certain degree. I can play my major and blues scales just fine without even thinking. In fact, I will watch tv sometimes while doing to purposely try to distract myself. To me if you have to think about it, it slows down. I want my hand and brain to do it my mechanical training, NOT thinking. I close my eyes also because to me looking slows a person down also. So, am I correct with my assumptions?
I also came up with an idea just now, the construction of a wedge on one side of the pick to force the proper angle without worrying about how I am holding it. Man if you play any faster you had better worry about your fingers leaving your hands, and on fire!!!
I like this exercise, because I gotta broken pinky, and it's really a good stretch for me. 👍👍 🎸 🎶 😀 🇺🇸.
thanks! i took this to the scales where i (in my 2.5/3 weeks practice) was finally trained with my left hand but my picking was alot of the times on the wrong string.. and had most problems on the picking side..🎉
Excellent lesson!! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas to everyone!!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all! 🤘🏻🎄
Hey, thanks for the video! Especially for the quality and camera angles, very illustrative examples!
Outstanding tutorial! Thanks!
You nailed it. Instant improvement for control and speed. Thank you for sharing that
Very good lesson even for advanced players. You teach with great smile and passion.
i do not know how i missed your lessons you are a great teacher and player
Thank you, Eddie. I got a broken pinky and it's a hard stretch for me. A very good stretch exercise. Thank you for this. 😀. 🎸 🎶 🇺🇸 👍👍
Great teaching Eddie, I'm probably too old to ever get that fast but i will keep trying..................
Thanks for all the great videos and help this year. To everyone there have a merry Christmas. Thanks
And to you as well, sir - Merry Christmas!
Keep picking.
Hey old guy. From another old guy, I'm in agreement with you. Nice comment sir.
Merry Christmas man
Thanx for the lesson Eddie! I started working on picking tek - can't believe how hard it is on the picking finger. I'll check back in a few months to report on progress.
Do you practice the picking tek?
Is there any progress?
@@dimitrisaivaliotis5616 Hiya Dimitris. I still do an exercise regimen every day and yes - improvement - I can pick @ 16th notes much better than before but still not at a pace that's anything to brag about. Will get back to ya down the road. For now? I can cleanly pick 16th notes @ 90 bpm.
@@NYC-SA-Mike Ok, next check up !! Hope it's going well for ya ! Play on !!!!
PEACE from Philadelphia
Great lesson as always and addresses yet another of my issues. Having a scale to follow is very helpful. Hope you can do a lesson on the disobedient , slow left hand pinky sometime, as this is one of my biggest issues slowing me down along with inaccurate picking.
Thanks cool tips. Definitely will be trying this! Cheers
Thanks you.
This is one of the best fast picking techniques on CZcams I've ever seen.
Thanks for sharing this useful lesson
Thanks Eddie! Having a tough time getting use to using my 2nd finger instead of ring finger going from the 7th to 9th fret. I guess it's important, or you wouldn't be teaching it like that. Gonna take some practice, and some getting use to. :-) Thanks again for the pointers!
Great lesson Eddie! Just taking the tips you gave, I can see a difference in the accuracy and speed of my picking. I think my biggest weakness is endurance when picking fast for extended runs. This is a great workout to develop endurance. I just move up one fret and play it again and repeat. Shameless plug! I recommend people sign up for Guitar Mastery Method! I'm a VIP member and love it! Eddie is a great instructor!
I am getting so much from these exercises. Thanks so much.
I love this step by step instruction
Sepceia the naming of the frets along with the note name of the string .
Excellent Presentation.
This is amazingly comfortable and sounds better quickly, awesome
Excellent lesson. Thank you Sir.
Great lesson Eddie! This is harder than it looks! But I can definitely see how it will bring results! Thanks!
Never too old to learn! I’ve been holding my pick incorrectly! Thanks!
Awesome lesson and thank you for sharing your tips👍👍💚
starting out as the slow boat to China with precision being the principle.....hope I get to where I want to go soon
Thank you this is one of my issues.
Bravo
Easy listening
Easy parctise
Easy finger to put on guitar bar
Bro your lessons are super helpful. Thanks
Speed picking practise...useful 😉 thanks Eddie
This angular picking becomes better with Jazz shaped thick picks like Black Ice or NYLOPRO.
THX a lot
I noticed you start out with your pic perpendicular with the string but then when you start to attack you twist your hand and you're not perpendicular anymore like you start out
He coverw that at the point where he talks about houw to hold the pick. rotate your wrist etc/
You are correct. His thumb overhangs a bit and when he applies pressure it naturally adds another angle..... not mentioned but seems necessary to reduce friction.
@@TrickyGomez I do the same exact thing when I pick. And I've also noticed guys that turn it the opposite direction. But if you're going to be putting out videos instructing people how to pick which I don't believe you should it should come natural to you at least do what you're saying
@@soloist2008 I pick that way too, but for some reason when I play certain licks I have to rotate the pick so that it's angled in the opposite direction as his or my fingers sort of cramp up and I miss the strings or pick too aggressively. I don't know why. I guess my bone structure is different or something.
@@JohnHWelch63 I pick with my wrist twisted like that all the time. But that's not what he starts out saying that's what I was pointing out
Look at how even his thumb flexes when he pick....Eddie you are the nuts!!
Great lesson, thanks! And this is why I am signed up with Guitar Mastery Method. They have all kinds of great lessons and taught in an easy to follow method.
Can i ask what is the logic of fingers 1,2,4 when 1,3,4 seems much easier? Or its just what I've already trained myself to. TIA
Great explanations and illustrations of downward slant picking.
Glad you enjoyed it
So helpful! Thanks 😊
Cool lesson!! Unfortunately my progress killer is arthritis.
Thanks...I'll b playin' w/5 FDP next concert 🤡. Really, enjoyed that exercise.
I can play some great stuff fingerpicking, without any real guitar lessons besides youtube. But I've never been able to play anything with a guitar pick except Wish You Were Here.
SICK SPEED Eddie ............ I promise I won't throw away my Guitar.........
Good information! Thanks
Thanks Eddie excellent tip that is something I have been having problems with
Great beginning for a 65, thanks any way . Can we have some tapping techniques on hammering tricks for bigenners.
I did as intro for 3 months and I improve a lot
Man that's some Paul Gilbert-level of speed ya got there!
Hot Damn brother! That was bad ass i appreciate the time you put into creating these videos. keep them coming!
Thank you for the lesson. Maybe it’s because I’ve only been playing 6 months and I’m getting on in years but I’m finding the level of concentration to complete a run is quite something, even at a snails pace 110 bpm. I’ll stick with it though 😊
Thanks Eddie.
You are an awesome teacher!!!!! Gracias!!!!!!!
VERY HELPFUL THANKKS EDDIE. ROB FROM OZ.
Thanks for this lesson. I believe this lesson will help me
Blimey Mate...Something is finally sinking in ...Wicked many thanks....😁😁😁
Can you tell me what white bobbin pickups do you have in this Les Paul?
Eddie, can we use fingers 1-3 -4. index - ring - little? or is there a reason for using 2nd finger?
Not sure why he does it but I also use 1-2-3 because then I am using my second finger for the middle note on the first four strings. If you use 1-3-4, then you use a different finger for the middle note on the first string. But you should do whatever is comfortable for you. There are a lot of great players who use different finger combinations. I hope this helps.
Great lesson for my pick ...to work it . Thanks a lot
This is awesome. I've been working on the 3 nps lessons of late. So this is exactly what I needed. I just wish that I would've seen this sooner. Anyways, perfect lesson by my favorite teacher. Thank you sir Eddie.😉
Would this be a B Aeolian scale?
Oh sorry, just saw that it's a B Dorian scale,hehe,still learning theory, which is my sticking point.😉
Really love that!
Hey Eddie, it's great to be called "kid" by a...well, from my point of view "kid"...🤣🤣🤣...please keep going, as everyone on GMM you're a real cool teacher! Horns up...🤘🤘🤘
Great information
Great Vid, thanks a lot! But I noticed something: at 10:00 - where you played as fast as possible - you did not move your wrist (like before). Instead you moved your whole forearm. Was that unintentional? Or ist "THAT" just the way, one could pick fast? Greetz, K-Os
@@GuitarMasteryMethod just had a closer look, and than I could see the movement. Thanks a lot :-)
...many thanx...very inspyering...! Sat nam & wahe guru B-)
Great lesson . thank you . im on it 👋👋👌👌
Ohhhh!!! Maestro!!! You did it again Eddie, good lesson. I like this one. 👍
Great lesson Eddie!! Just wondering, how long did it take you to play this exercise that fast; not the end part where you did it as fast as you could, but in general?
@@GuitarMasteryMethod I'm going to have to do the same thing! Everyday for several weeks!!! :)
Thanks for the lesson, it's priceless. you da man!!!! Cheers
Excellent, everyday we learn something, thanks. Greetings from Perú.
Nice Video!
Thanks for the Pick hand Closeup 📸...
Love the humor, and the lesson.
What if you have small hands. Any tricks you can give us would be great 😁
Your really use the scalping technique brother...but not so much when you did your maximum speed demo..confusing ! which is quite different from most other picking approachs ..that should really be explained to people trying this video out ...emphasis on economy of motion is another key factor in speed picking..otherwise an excellent tutorial.
Great video!
Thanks Eddie..
. great video!!
I cant pick with the sharp side of any pick..doesn't matter how big or small..I end up using the rounded sides!
thanks
i am really enjoying your lessons and be back for more...
Great lesson... Thanks
Thank you, sir
Great lesson!
It looks to me like you also were twisting the pick so that it hit each string at an angle. I didn't hear you mention that part...
That's fast Eddie, thanks for the lesson.
