    One thing I'm currently working on that has really held me back is the way i hold my pick. *BUT* , and this is a *BIG BIG* but. For me anyway. Dont try to emulate the exact way that your favorite guitarisy or teacher hold his picking hand. For me anyway, I've been learning that *my* wrist and hand stay more loose and relaxed with my middle , ring and little fingers kinda loosely touching the body of the guitar for some parts and then sorta tucked in for other parts. I've found that there is no *one* particular way to hild the pick at all times. Ive been playing for 35+ years and I feel im some ways that I've gone all the way back to day one. Its been a week now and I'm starting to get to where if i hold the pick the way i always have, it feels weird now. I wish there had been something like CZcams around back when i was 15. Just so much incredible information just floating around for free these days.

  • @brianw.6718
    @brianw.6718 Před 9 měsíci +10

    That is probably the lick (Zakk Wylde) that changed my playing level altogether. I was in a plateau for so many years because I was self taught and never took lessons (much) and eventually I noticed after watching my favorite guitar players on video I started to see how their technique was completely different from mine. I started truing to play and make it look more like them. More structured, more controlled, less convulsive looking. Zakk Wylde licks, especially the first part of the solo for Mr Tinkertrain that is kinda similar to No More Tears. Then some Dimebag stuff. After a while I noticed I was able to play faster with less effort. It should look similar to water flowing when you play. To the point where it feels almost effortless. The more you try to force it and tense up, the shittier your playing will seem.

    @ahind1234 Před rokem +12

    Noticing how you start with upstrokes, I deeply relate. Years ago I used to watch all these tutorials for fast alternate picking starting with downstrokes and never worked for me. It was one day that sort of came as a revelation that I was able to play those licks if I started with upstroke, and I never trained or practiced them like that before. It possibly had to do with my general way of picking or bad habits that are deeply engraved in my head, that just makes it easier for me to process alternate picking with an upstroke

    • @Jarrodpimental
      @Jarrodpimental Před rokem +3

      This USUALLY depends on the angle you naturally hold the pick. Tip pointing up or down. And that has to be pointed out when someone tells you to start on a down stroke.

    I love this video. This proves that there really are no rules for playing guitar. There are so many different ways to play guitar. Whatever technique allows you to play your very best, is the correct way to play. This is a real fact, and one that's sadly overlooked by so many guitarists. Any technical fingering can be adjusted or manipulated into whatever works best for that individual. This is a great example of that. 😊
