If your arm or wrist is tired , you have to stop? You not picking accurate this usually happens playing fast, especially fast. The reason fast players can play fast is they’ve worked at it , and found what works best for them.

Where can I get that guitar? 😍

Thank you

There’s nothing wrong with warming up, you think professional sports players just go out there at play without doing a few drills or plays first?

What guitar is this guys.

That thing you can't do, the trick is to just do it. Nah but sometimes you just have to try

I hold mine with three fingers. I’ve tried the common ‘correct’ way numerous times and for me personally it’s uncomfortable and unnatural

my pick gets stuck though even if i hold it angled?

1.pick tips on strings trembling 2.h&p to build left hand strength 3.sync both hands by 4212 etc 4.practice all time in same way in case without being aware 5.play 3+1 notes on 2 strings crossing 6.break stuff down and play from less to more 7.play 6 notes by 4 picking and 2 h&p on 2 strings 8.cross more strings but stop at 1st note every string like lesson5 9. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

TLDW: Just be faster lol but great advice on the real. You will inevitably get faster if you push yourself and practice with discipline.

Tq....i think thats my problem is fretting hand....Tq sir

When did Ricky Gervaise start making guitar playing videos?

i always hit the wrong string or more than one string

Honestly say I've watched hundreds of videos on this kind of thing and your videos are some of the best. A lot of videos will just say things like "play a chromatic scale to a click and gradually increase the tempo". What you do (and not many others do) is actually break down the mechanics. Im only starting out with your videos. I never realized how weak my fretting hand actually was as I felt i could move it around the fretboard what I thought was a decent speed. I realized my right hand was much faster and more accurate than my left,so im going through your videos to try and fix it,wish me luck 🙃

Sir i watch your all your instructional videos and i am a die hard fan of yngwie Vinnie Moore satriani petrucci Jason Paul gilbert marty vitto brata white lion...etc but somehow my both hands get stiffed m 47 years is it due to my age ? I do spider chromatic and other pentatonics scales n normal chromatic major scales....at some point of time my fingering gets smooth but my picking gets stuck... please suggest how to work on ..thank you i would appreciate your acknowledgement.. from northeast India

Ben - thanks - great lesson - wish I knew this earlier ;-)

You are a good of guiter I love you boss

Today I learned Floyd Rose sells entire guitars 😮

Omg thank you for such a realistic advice

9-46 is perfect for shredding!

You tell the truth.. There is no code to be cracked. Everyone who follows gurus who say they have the secret seem to have one thing in common: they haven’t got technique

Stop consuming content. Go read a book! :D

You suck. Shouldn’t be giving any advice on guitar. Maybe anything. Listen. The only thing you should be focused on is how it sounds, not how fast you are. That’s irrelevant. And I’m a blazing fast Player. Listen to Andy Timmons. He’s fast, but rarely plays that way.

only focus on how it sounds tbh i ain’t no god at picking but ppl say i’m good and i just focus on how i sounds

After watching these series of videos I've learned that I've been playing wrong for the last 25 years. I never learned the correct techniques, and I never did exercises. I just tried to play whatever I heard as fast as I could thinking that it'll eventually happen over time. It never happened and now I have a ton of bad habits and can't play any fast songs. Depressing.

Man that guitar is sick

“There’s nothing stopping you from picking faster” My hand not remembering which string I’m picking when I start to pick faster

thank you ben great tip!

Nice

What's stopping me? A hedge trimmer that *nearly* cut off my finger entirely lol

My movement is similar as the one you've shown, i felt it more natural and i kept using it..after 20 years of playing i must say that it is still giving me some troubles when i need to control each single note i pick..it's like aiming from long distance with an automatic rifle with a strong recoil xD How you solved that?

Ben, your inclusion of Timo Tolkki made me think: I would love your take on "Mr. Fastfinger" Mika Tyyskä. I miss his old Flash plugin site. Lots of great exercises and licks on there. I think it went away after Flash stopped being commonly supported.

Very nice

Char them all Ben🤟🏼

heavy strings are great for low tunings tho

Where can I watch it?

Practice with Miserlou so you can focus on the picking hand without getting distracted by the left hand.

He always had a habit of taking strange out of key notes and making the sound like they were in 5he key

I actually broke my arm. is the actual reason

This 100% dead on the money. Working on my legato and timing with my fretting hand has improved everything. My picking hand is fast, fluid, and locked in, but my fretting hand still needs lots of work.

I'm a lefty but i play right handed. My picking has always suffered. My legato is fine because my left hand is capable. I've basically been at a plateau for 25 years.

I've been practicing legato with my thumb behind the neck, which feels so foreign to me because I'm self taught and played the other way for over 20 years. I can definitely feel soreness which leads me to wonder if I'm just working out unused muscles or if I'm doing something wrong and causing more harm than good.

best Lynch note choice out there... kudos!
