How beautiful!😍😍😍

I always wanted to learn neat things like this, so happy I picked my guitar up 9 weeks ago, wild! I love it!

How unique! Thank you and amazing job recording too! the camera trick and finger picking has me blown away😄🙏🏽💪🏽

I don't have the best control with that technique

if you tune down to f#, it won't be easy to play with anybody else.

The "wrong way" you show is actually the way electric guitarists with the best clean tone hold their pick, also has to do with angle but I can't elaborate because races don't exist

wow, I should thank you forever, this works great

agreed

When I first started playing guitar this was my natural way of holding it because I also play snare drum, I didn't know that this was the best way to do it!

Naw man. I been studing this. True its faster being closer to the pivot point of the wrist but you cant angle the pick naturally with that grip. Youll get sore and tired. I cant feel without my finger tips involved. So ima stay 3 fingered hettfieldish. Edit. I just did it I noticed, I do both. I can't palmate as good 3 fingered so I notice I slip into the 2 finger style to palmate.

why dont guitarists use banjo picks, they seem much more useful in my point of view

I was playing for family one night and my annoying cousin kept making comments on how I was looking at my fingers. I just said , “ yeah, so I know where to put them. He said all good players don’t look, till I showed videos of Roy Clark and Earl Scruggs

I must unlearn all I have learned - Yoda

this is silly. some guy explaining how other players should hold their pick. As if there's only one particular way to do it

Now, show me playing speed metal for two hours like that...

Would you say this pick is worth it? I've been obsessed with the concept of a single perfect pick, the only thing is the price.

Good patterns ❤

Pls add the tabs too

Ive been holding the pick wrong for 45 years!! Finally started to hold it this way and it's taken me an entire year to get used to. Right off the bat it vastly improved my tone!! It sounds much more full. It took almost a year of getting used to before I could use it at gigs. Im now 97% there lol and I'm starting to work on my speed picking.

What about pick by Pat Metheny,George Benson?)))

Alright but what if my finger is already ripped and I need to play?

Thanks friend ❤ Lots of love from 🇮🇳

MY thumb and index finger make an X, and I hold my pick with very little protruding to just tap or slap the top 1/2 of the string. I use 2.0,-2.5 black Jim Dunlop jazz picks (I play rock), and I drill 7-9 5/32 holes on the top 1/2 of the pick for grip. Works wonders.

Just watched your no fingerpicks video and then this, so going to subscribe as they were great instructional videos! I don't use fingerpicks, and love it that way. This speed video makes me want to play faster! Do you have any tips on speeding up your fingers on the picking hand? Do you just start off with a certain meter and then try to increase it to be faster and faster?

I say, just play and play and play, focusing on the clarity and tone and when you find it, it will lock in naturally for you. Everyone’s pick grip will be a little bit different.

hi! thanks for ur videos, helpful as always! what about shaun the sheep tutorial and tabs? its been three years now)))

Can you teach me how 😂.

I dont know. I think practice something else and circle back around.

Focus on playing well not fast

I used to not have a problem with accuracy until I got arthritis in my index finger. Makes my finger want to draw up and miss strings.

I was horrified when you said your nails were too long! 😫 Super super short fingernails feel painful to me! I don't care how they look. Its just the feeling

I hold it closer to the tip, because if its held on a round part of your finger, you can change the angle of the pick to get different tones. You can't change angle as far on the side of your finger. Sometimes I used two fingers or even the index finger by itself

This how I held the pick day one because I would watch other guitarist hold it this way and I figured there's a reason why so I've been doing it from the start

im playing with my fingers...

Wow! Sounds amazing

This won't work. You can't keep the people from coming to Idaho

I was looking for the slide that colton crawford performs for the song black lung by the dead south. He slides his fingers down giving that drop noise and I was checking to see how to play it.please and thank you.

Classical guitarist here who just bought my first banjo last week. It has been a very frustrating week. I watched this video and applied all the right-hand techniques mentioned. It is no longer frustrating. A must-see video for beginners.

love this

much better explanation than other videos, helps a lot thanks 👍

Pattern- 5 4 3 2 3 4 3 2

You're full of shit. Holding the pick away from you and you get a tinnie sound? You can hold the pick how ever you feel necessary.

Name?

My fingers don’t work right 😭

Thank you So much! As do my neighbors 😊

Eddie Van Halen had the oddest pick hold. It was bizarre .

Nice I have one and it's good but I started with daddario planet waves .50 mm

No. You lack control of the pick if it isn’t seated right above the pad of your pointer finger. This looks somewhat awkward. But to each their own.

Being a professional guitar is recommended this trick to you it is the perfect way of holding a platform I also hold it just like this in the starting I also face some problem but now I have started to adapt this new way of holding a platform this will help you to fasten up your strumming and also you will be really nice lead player

There’s no way people complain that their tuners don’t work without trying this first… I don’t believe it.
