"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

Tommo's new seminar ( troygrady.com/seminars/metronomic-rock-dsx/ ) is full of essential ideas that make the DSX picking style functional for everyday playing across a wide array of phrases. 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...

Escape Angle - Does It Matter?
Просмотров 28 тыс.Год назад
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...
Using "Less Pick"
Просмотров 32 тыс.Год назад
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! The "no wah" strumming pattern
Просмотров 444 тыс.Год назад
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...

This Should Not Be Possible: Displacement Fours
Просмотров 64 тыс.Год назад
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...
Is this picking gyspy picking or different?im kinda confused can someone explain me I want to improve my picking 😢or is it edge picking mixed with gypsy picking?
Why are so many people impressed by spreed when it clearly loses something .? Is it music? More like a party trick. I can play fast but if u don’t have a cap on your speed ur no better than anyone that doesn’t play guitar at all
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?
Malmsteen doesn't have many tricks except speed pecking . .Vinnie is versatile
22:35 is when he realized his superpower😂😂
teemu is playing by ears..not in tab..a lil closer to style of joe sat
Had Joe as an instructor for a couple semesters attending Berklee. Super nice guy. He was really informative when it came down to breaking down certain phrasing, and applications relating to the fret board.
It's insane how clean her notes sound
Another incredible video 🔥
Here from the future. In the year of our Lord 2024; the ernie ball prodigy 2.0 mm is the new king
Why is this video so overproduced and ever explanative for something that takes so little time to explain and so much unnecessary information??
Molly has an exceptional right hand, right up there with John Jorgensen. 😮
Troy dedicated his life to shred. I remember seeing this jock's videos from pre 2010. What a hero.
Just amazing!
Shawn lane always said to go as fast as you can. Then slow it up a bit to clean it up. Fast, Slow, Clean! Start over!
James Hettfield isn't interested.
I guess Troy is able to figure out how the piramyds were built
What is that red thing on your guitar neck? A industrial capo..lol!
every time i watch this ... i know what i'm gonna hear & see, but i'm still blown away. every time.
Amazing.
Troy is like a mix of Ben Shapiro and yngwie malmsteen
Amazing player and great job on the production and presentation!
Black Sabbath, black Sabbath record right behind her
Нихуя не понимаю , но очень интересно и полезно
This has got to be one of the best guitar videos Ive seen keep up the good work
Your a fraud buddy
Episode 2 contains some serious code cracking since it is gone
ive only ever used trailing edge
Excellent
At least it is all about, how often you play, how fast you practise, and how dynamic you play
360bpm? This is like 720bpm? 360bpm is much, much slower than this.....
i prefer for death metal jazz 3 but first of all i make it more sharp on sand paper. pointy is better practice to play more by feel.
Forgive me for being thick but what the hell is the contraption bolted to his guitar?
Fascinating analysis of one of the most amazing sounding players of all time. But in hindsight this technique literally destroyed Steve's right hand. So nothing's free is the real lesson I guess.
Looks like flatpicking?
NO NO NO it doesn't.
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.
Excellent video! Thank you!
These lessons are long winded yes - but I can 100% guarantee that they work!!
I think you should take pictures of 8 guest guitarists you've had on put them in squares with you in the middle and call it The Grady Bunch
This was 6 years ago, folks. 6 years!!! 🤯
I drive a white Freightliner!!! 🤗
When you play faster and naturally muting.
*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.
Nice work! Awesome video, way to actually show sound differences with actually proof, not flowery language
The Fender Mustang is a cool guitar. I want to get on of those early G&L SC-1's with the Jumbo MDF pickups, like I have on my early model 1986 G&L ASAT 3T Sunburst. I like the Jazz I and I want to try out the Jazz II, as both of those have rounder tips than the Jazz III.
What a typical boring American video, you could have explained that in under two minutes, I got so bored, I fast forwarded it to the end, for the exiting moment that didn't hapen.
I could never economy pick. For some reason it broke my brain
Cacophony was Amazing! The pair of the 2 guitars was just impressive. Instill hace the CDs.
I never knew it fellas but I'm a string hopper
