You are tapping into areas that no other online educator is doing. It's improving my playing. Much appreciated. Hope you can grow your channel. I will recommend it :)
Tension had stunted my playing for almost 20 years and your videos have helped me finally move forward since I found them at the beginning of the year. I can’t thank you enough Ben, no one is addressing technique like you. Keep it up!
would have much preferred to hear the guitar without the room mic, as much of the perceived attack now seems to actually be the acoustic picking sound. hard to gauge the actual difference this way. exciting concept though, definitely gonna play around with it. thanks for sharing!
Changing the pick can help as well. I used to use the same pick as you (dunlop ultex), but then tried the jazz iii tortex (0.73mm works amazingly well for my 7 string stuff) and it was so much brighter and defined. I do love the feel of ultex picks, though, so I hop back and forth between ultex and tortex ones.
In general, long periods of warming up normally mean you don’t quite have the technique down as well as you think. I might do a video on it soon - think of it in a more sport related way. Warm ups are essential for pushing the body beyond what it can normally do but are often not needed that much for exercise you can do easily. If you make your technique relatively effortless, you should have a high degree of consistency any time you pick the instrument up!

Great video
The color of the guitar is just stunning… And nice playing also
Munson guitars nailed the custom build! Great instruments.

Thank you so much for this, your videos are having more impact on my technique than the thousand videos on scales and arpeggios that are on CZcams.

This is true guitar wisdom. 👌🏻
@Ben Kerrigan warming is important. Is there any warm up routines that can be done before touching the guitar and can you make a video about it?
