"Mistakes" that aren't mistakes - swiping and displacement
Просмотров 17 тыс.2 месяца назад
"Good" swiping sounds good because the pick changes its path to graze the top of the swiped string instead of slamming through it. Displacement converts an "odds" phrase like a scale into an "evens" phrase - which easier for many alternate picking motions - by moving a pickstroke from one string to another and hiding the move with legato. Swiping and displacement are usually done subconsciously...

Many Bothans died to bring you this information: how ascending sixes is *actually* played. If you're fussing with how to play fancy arpeggios with alternate picking and you haven't verified whether ascending sixes has the correct sequence of escapes, you're doing it wrong. This is your first mixed escape / double escape phrase. Need help with your picking technique? Get in touch: troygrady.com

Here's a great one. As you may know, if you're a DSX player, this means your picking motion traces a diagonal path such that downstrokes "escape" and become your string switch pickstroke. The implications o...

The most common picking motions all produce some type of escape ( troygrady.com/primer/reference/escape-motion-reference/ ), where the pick pulls away from the guitar body during at least a portion of its travel. Does the angle of the escape matter? It can! NBA players shoot foul shots with an arc because approaching the hoop from above makes it a larger target. Similarly, approaching the targe...

Why don't we talk more about using a small amount of pick on the string. Isn't it important to have smooth attack? Yes! But when you film technique, the actual amount of pick attack doesn't always look like what you think it's going to look like. You'd be surprised how much pick can appear to contact the string while the attack can feel completely smooth and unobstructed to the player - especia...

No wah pedal? No problem! Here's a fun pattern that uses Gypsy-style strumming technique to simulate the sound of a wah pedal. You start with a downstroke that strikes the top two or three strings, followed by an upstroke that only strikes the high E string - to get the wah "click". The third motion is a downstroke that taps your index finger nail on the lowest strings, approximately E or A, or...

A few posts back we were looking at how you can simplify complicated phrases with pickstroke displacement. Here's another example of that. In this example I'm doing descending fours - the version that starts on a downstroke - with a really simple Zakk Wylde-type picking motion that should definitely not be able to play this line. Check out how cool this is. I'm using a 3nps fingering, so techni...

    I've been trying not to "string hop" the strings like a bird for the last 2 years straight after seeing this video, and I can not seem to stop it. I can play many things slow, good and relaxed. Once I try to do it at normal speed, my hand turns into a woodpecker, and I just can't stop it. I learned this way, and I'm about ready to give up, but I really don't want to. Above a certain speed my whole hands instinctively just rises up after every note I pick no matter how much I tell my brain to stop it. I just am at a loss. I've gotten worse since I've been focusing on this problem. Now I've started wondering if something is wrong with me and it's just not fun anymore. I want it to be fun. Otherwise, what's the point?

    Couldn't agree more. You cannot build up to playing really fast if you never actually play fast. Playing slow and working up is the tried and true method but if your goal, for instance, is to play death metal, you won't be playing death metal for a long long time with that method.

    *I will always be stumped on "economy" picking and this bizarre legend where some guy outright invented it lol!* It's quite literally the natural order of instinct to pick in this way and I had done it for in the decades before I found out some guy named it and claimed to invent it. WTF!? *It's the ultimate "I caught a fish THIS big!" story.* I think as a taught concept, it's relevant but as a fixed method with distinct pattern usage and a self proclaimed invention, that is pure idiocy. *What I am getting at is as you advance as a player, mixing legato, alternate picking, flat picking and sweep picking should be an instinctive development, but especially so when it's the blending of alternate, legato and sweeping.* How someone claims to have invented something millions of us naturally did without ever hearing about the guy in the first place is really pig headed and part of this "brand loyalty" culture putrefying the world today.
