Hahah, or worse, they don't give on-screen tabs, they instead walk/talk you through the lick one note at a time. Hop into my discord if you ever want to share some ideas of your own? Could be fun. The link is along the top navbar of my website alfredpotter.com

@@AlfredPotterGuitar i am not that good of a guitarist myself though. i think i currently have 1 random orginal (like 2min long) on yt. but heck yea i think ill join the discord thx

Absolutely. Electric guitar and playing with a pick is a very recent art form. We are only now beginning to understand how it all works, technique-wise. Hop onto my discord if you ever wanna hang out and discuss this sort of thing? The link is along the top navbar of my website alfredpotter.com

Hello, this is a compilation from the 130 or so youtube lick lesson videos I've made over the years. Also, the entire point is that there's no talking - just pure licks. These were made during a time on youtube where all guitarists would do is talk instead of actually teach licks, so I went hard the other way.

That is a good question, and one which is quite a mystery. Is index finger and thumb motion a flourish? As in, is it purely aesthetic? Or does it actually contribute to some people's picking technique? It really isn't clear. What we do know is that it's how we humans perform very small and very precise motions with our evolved "Precision Grip". Try to draw a small letter "e" with a pen, and you will notice how it's entirely index finger and thumb motion. So to summarize, it's likely just another instance where our innate, human instincts kick in when trying to perform small and precise movement. But know that index finger and thumb motions only work at slow to moderate speeds. You will need to develop pure wrist for fast playing, and then eventually elbow recruitment for hyperspeed.

@@AlfredPotterGuitar Thank you one more time by details and explanation! 🎸🙂

Hell, I'm just glad anyone listened to this at all

@@AlfredPotterGuitar This track Rocks! don't listen to beast....

It's interesting how it works!

Thank you for watching this

Thank you. I will message them now and ask. I usually get turned down a lot due to the world operating under nepotism (people don't work with me simply because they don't know me). But I like your suggestion, and I will see what they reply with =)

@@AlfredPotterGuitar Go for it! I'm working on fast shred, sweeping etc and your tutorial vids are a great help thanks

Hop into my discord and share some ideas? Would be cool to see

Cheers! Hop into my discord if you ever wanna hang out n chat with me and the community =) discord.gg/G9r65Uu6vY

You honor me, thank you. You have made my day

@@AlfredPotterGuitar Credit where credit is due! You are an amazing player. I'm binging all your vids as we speak.... thank you 😍

Thank you! But please check out my more recent album "Splendor of Sands" ;)

Hello! I recommend checking out the recent video I uploaded "The Slowmo Suite: Chromatics". It shows the motion and explains in depth. But above all else, definitely join my discord and you, I, and my community can have a good chat about it? There is much to discuss. You can find the link to my discord along the top navbar of my website: alfredpotter.com

It is very true

Hahah yeah totally

An old one but a good one!

@@AlfredPotterGuitar yeah man I was going through you videos and saw Steve Lynch. You inspire me dude, you're a hell of a player.

Thank you so much for appreciating what I do. I noticed back in 2011, when I began my online career, that NOBODY did this. It was all endless talking or being guided through licks verbally one note at a time (without tab on screen) and it made me MAD! I am still here in 2024 making such videos, though unfortunately, people mostly just want to watch junk tiktoks. Why is the internet like this?

Thank you so much. That was the only solo on the album which was improvised :) have you heard my second album, "Splendor of Sands"? Check it out on Spotify and let me know what you think. I think you'll like the outro from the 5th track "The Chronomancer"

@@AlfredPotterGuitar cool I'll check it out

Hahah, as a Kahler artist, I am going to be very biased in my response to this. But yes. They are the best whammy bridges in existence. With pro gear comes a pro price tag, but they are the best and worth it.

thank you, I will!

Hello. If you go to my website you can get video packs with 20 licks in each. There is Vol.1, 2, & 3 available for a total of 60 licks! Better yet. Each video download is just $4 alfredpotter.com/index.php/product

@@AlfredPotterGuitar do you have like free Bm Shred licks?

Thank you! This was my custom to celebrate my Kahler bridges endorsement. It was made by Ben Corkill of Ekho instruments here in New Zealand, and the airbrush paintjob was done by Warren Houston

Thanks!

A fun one =)

It's true! Economy picking can allow for a looser grip, but when it comes to alternate picking, I require a fair bit of rigidity and so I grip tighter

Haha yes, speed can do a lot! Hop into my discord if you ever wanna hang out n chat with me and the community =) discord.gg/G9r65Uu6vY

Hi Eric, if this question relates to matching the pickslant with an upcoming string cross, the only thing that matters is that if the final pickstroke on a string is going to be a downstroke: you must be using an UWPS. But if you are asking if, for daily practice in general, one should practice a particular starting stroke with a particular slant, then no: Practice everything! For example, for single-string tremolo practice, you should practice DWPS downstroke start, DWPS upstroke start, UWPS downstroke start, UWPS upstroke start. All of these appear in scalar playing and need to be developed evenly.

Thanks so much for your feedback and support. Teaching and helping means a great deal to me, so I appreciate your kind words =) hop into my discord (it's like a free chat room) if you ever want to hang out? I am in there everyday as I sit at my desk practicing. I think we could have some insightful chats and share ideas. The link is along the top navigation bar of my website alfredpotter.com

@@AlfredPotterGuitar great I'm checking it right now!

Thank you for watching and liking

@@AlfredPotterGuitar Surely, but I'm still stuck on the first passage after weeks. I can get it to about 150bpm before it falls apart.

@dendon3384 hop into my discord if you want to chat about practice and technique? We can get some idea of what's going on. The link is along the top navbar of my website: alfredpotter.com

@@AlfredPotterGuitar I joined your discord but also solved my issue. KZbin playback speed for the win. I didn't even know of the feature til now. Hearing it played slower (instead of just learning the notes) allows me to understand the picking and rhythm of what you're doing. I was getting lost on just following the notes. I'm okay on 1/2 speed and working for 3/4.

3/4 achieved today. 4/4 next.
