check out my tremolo picking video, I use mostly my wrist only not my elbow. You need tom practice alternate picking everyday. that will help immensely. its a short video, also playing legato and other techniques helps.

Thank you. I'll make sure to check it out. I subscribed, by the way. Great content. 🤘💀😎🎸🎶

@@andrewz.3432 thank you

@andrewz.3432 yes it’s a 2005 Jackson Custom shop serial J6888 only 10 made red w white bioskull and black with red bioskull so 40 total they did the soloist like mine and they king V only, They all had the speed profile neck dimensions which does make a difference, IMO I bought it used in 2010 from music go round.

hey, have a good day

@@rodneybrown2364 good job, Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Thank you very much, please like and subscribe have a great day randall

you're welcome have a good day!!

if you ever want a lesson online or in person let me know it would be 40/hr but well worth it. have a good day.

I would buy a digitech jam man solo xt it’s a looper pedal and you can use it as a metronome. That’s what I use.

You’re welcome, practice as much as possible. 😊

Thanks it’s a 2005 Jackson soloist USA CS Serial J6888 speed profile unfinished neck Thru.

Thank you Dylan keep playing this can be achieved by anyone who practices the right way, have a good day.

​@@SK43853 What is the right way? I can never get this fast

@@Dalek-br6nu learn to alternate pick watch my picking hand very closely, you will see that I mostly alternate pick because it's a necessity in playing lead guitar. on the last video I did IMPROVISING over G major / e minor understanding the notes you are playing at fast tempos is the video that I took this short from, go watch it and slow it down to .50 or .75 and then you can watch closely and see what I am doing. please go look at my metronome videos those will also give you good insight to how I gained speed and accuracy.. thanks for watching have a good day.

@@Dalek-br6nu you can get that fast it just takes time.

IDK ill have to listen to it, thanks for watching !!!

he is sweep picking/ alternate picking arpeggios and most likely not picking every note .nice harmonies

EMG 81 in bridge 18volt mod !!!! AXE FX III

@@SK43853 love the 81. Had the mod for a bit and decided I didn't like it.

@@kevinerickson84 I like to push the pre amp signal that’s why I use 18 volts after that the VHT 2/90/2 TUBE PA takes over lol

sorry for other response I thought it was a different video here is the correct info 8/ 10/ 12 C/D/e notes on strings 9/10/12. f#/G/a look closely and 9/10/12. b/C/D you will see how the 9/11/12. e/f#/G. notes align from 10/12/13 a/b/C. string to string 10/12//14 D/e/f #. It's the 4th scale degree

@@SK43853OK, lemme see if I got this right... low E string, frets: 8(octave) ,10 ... A string, frets: 7,9,10...D string, frets: 7,8,10(octave)...G string, frets: 7,9,11 ....B string, frets: 7,8,10 ....high e string, frets: 8(octave)10 & 12?..... Am I close? ..I think that I may have been confusing the Lydian with the Mixolydian.

My example is E to E low to high

thanks , It's the 18 volts pushing the front end of axe fx III after that the magic happens in the VHT 2/90/2 TUBE power amp.

you are correct thank you

definitely minor, check out some other stuff but be prepared to see a shred fest!!!!!!!!!

@SK43853 its a joke cuz it's a minor

I appreciate that thanks D

I hope you understand it @darmilon1423 and it helps you out, thanks for watching please subscribe if possible..🤘🏻

thank you Mr..Phelps, have a great day

thank you Debra, have a great day...

keep practicing, you'll get there..

the basic pattern is in E minor 12/13/15 B string 12/14/15 E string then I do examples in dorian, Phrygian, lydian Aeolian /E MINOR

@ronwilliams36 once you know the modes all the way through all 6 strings from G to G you will clearly see all the little phrases I am doing and you will be able to identify the mode it is in. I move around a lot but they are all in the same key G major / Eminor.

yes I’ve been learning the modes for a couple of months- I can go through them slow - needy to do more metronome work- I’m having trouble with the ones with the big stretch - I like to use my ring finger for the big stretch but my teacher says it would be better to use my middle finger- thanks for the info.

Depends on hand size and what is more comfortable I use my ring finger so index 3 ring 5 pinky 7 When you are ripping around 17/19/20/21/22/23/24 frets you may change it up bc frets are closer

sure, I put up so much stuff that people need to learn. I will put out another soon. thanks for watching !

I would say at least 15 minutes a day with a metronome, the hardest part is knowing where to play and what Key you are in.these examples are mostly G major with the relative minor being e G MAJOR/ e minor

So it is the last six notes in each mode Starting in locrian Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian , mixolydian, aeolian then your back to locrian at 15/17/19 in the key of Gmajor e minor It may seem confusing because I’m starting with the 1/2 diminished locrian mode Please subscribe, music has no rules Mr. Williams that’s why you can try different things if it sounds good it is good @ronwilliams36

Usually the modes are in this order Ionian, dorian, Phrygian, lydian , mixolydian, aeolian, then locrian, hopefully I answered your question.

@@SK43853 yes it did - my guitar teacher was having me switch between modes on the bottom string kinda like you were doing. Good info - thanks

IMO it's best to learn the modes from G to G on the low E String, because you can see all the notes visually other keys will have open strings. take a look at a few other videos and you'll see what I mean thanks..

Most if my learning has come from years of playing but if I could suggest 1 player to follow and even join his academy it would be KIKO LOUREIRO, I did an 9 hour workshop with him, he’s that good😊

Thank you, I have more content but I don’t want to put out so much that people don’t listen. A lot of these lessons are based off of my struggle’s 🤘🏻🤘🏻😊😊

I agree I have bigger and stronger hands genetics… have a good day, please subscribe

Hey Vic thanks a lot, if you do it on your PRS most likely the notes will ring out better, my action is super low which leads to less sustain. That exercise will really help your hand strength, you most likely heard me play it super loud when I was living next door. 😊

in the key of Gmajor/ E minor you would think that all the modes would sound great but sometimes the chord doesn't sound very good when playing all 7 notes , thank you for sharing your knowledge, every shape has the same 7 notes G/A/B/C/D/E/F#. are the notes in Gmaj/e minor, thank you I appreciate it, Have great day. I added you thanks again!!

your channel is great, videos all are good. you play very well with lots of melody!!! have a great day, thank you for sharing your knowledge I appreciate it.

@@SK43853 thanks man! Have a great day as well and keep shredding! I appreciate the kind words!

thank you for watching. have a good day please subscribe !!

thanks have a good weekend!!

Im going to buy some video equipment soon..

I watch a lot of guitar content and one thing I like about yours is they aren't long winded. You get right to teaching. Anything over 10 minutes loses me, I'm a get to the point person. I like that you called out the frets on this one, it's tough to sometimes see what frets people are playing. I'm Ted by the way. I live in Ohio. Good luck with the video equipment!

@@mazzetti8667 hi Ted nice to meet you, check out the one I did tonight I edited done to 6/7 minutes but it’s good for soloing over Diads and triads. it's 6 :47 minutes its pretty good. thanks. again.

Thanks I added you too, , it will sound really good on a telecaster. Have a good night !!

thank you!!!

thank you, my style is from years of playing and watching other players with some lessons here and there, have great day.

thank you I need to find out what to buy never have done this before. thanks again

@@SK43853 I recommend getting a better DSLR or mirrorless camera like the canon EOS series and using the usb mode to use that as a webcam, and a stienberg UR22 audio interface. Your guitar tone sounds killer so I’m sure you know how to get that in tone, then for the voiceover mic use a random condenser mic like the ones Mackie makes

@@fenixlolnope361 thank you I’ll look into this stuff the fact I’m 53 and have never done this I appreciate your input😊🤘🏻

Just so you know when I played the example I played F diminished not F# my mistake so at the end of the video I show how I go from locrian/Ionian/Dorian and then play E minor chord. I’m a rocker but try doing a 2/3 peddle tone and then bring in the minor chord followed by Diminished chord So in the example I play 6 minor scale notes 6 major scale notes and 6 diminished scale notes it’s very important to never land on a note that isn’t the 3/5 because the they both really highlights the chord the 5 reinforces the Tonic ..

I’m Steve too Steve Kennedy please subscribe and thank you for the feedback I appreciate it. Have great day. so as I say often if it sounds good it is good like ingwie malmsteen says! So if you play a chord that may not be in that chord progression that’s ok as long as it fits and sounds good

If you don’t understand the modes try to watch these videos I break them down pretty good for players at any level.

@@SK43853 Thank you! I have subscribed! I will watch the video on ear training with the key of D major later today!

You’ll like that video I break down how to find the key of a song And that every major key has a minor key associated with it hence G major/ E minor G/A/B/C/D/E at the 6 th degree

thank you , have a good day. I added you !!

Thank you please subscribe, hopefully the material I’m putting on my channel helps people who are trying just not succeeding Just practice and you’ll get there !!! I just moved back from California I lived there for a long time. I’m glad it helped you out..

You will like the harmonic minor scale , to me it sounds more ear pleasing in they key of E

It plays very good !!

I have a friend named Bradford delaura that sold me the 2014 I had. The one I’m playing in this video is a 2010 I have the COA and you can see videos of Gus G playing ESP guitars like this one it has all FLAME inlays The newer ones had the GUS G FIREWIND logo as inlays

thank you, have a good day!!

I use EMG 81 only 18 v power to it. neck p/u unhooked/ I use a VHT 2/90/2 TUBE POWER AMP AXE FX III RED MODERN ...MESA BOOGIE channel monster 2500 surge protector 2- 4x12 1960 a marshall cabinets I think most likely you’re hearing the fact I have 2- 4x12 cabinets going Gives a very full sound. the acoustics I get from running 2 cabs is amazing.

That's a lot of speakers! Surprised your aren't deaf, haha. I have an AXE FX III, I like that Mesa setting a lot too. The 5153 Red FX is my favorite setting.

check out the end of my last video I show all my equipment.

great run thru, maybe I need a 4x12. just using a 1x12 now but have been happy with it...

@@mazzetti8667 that’s fine, I just like the full surround sound effects. like I said in the video I’m fortunate that I have all the equipment I like. The main reason why I use the 4x12 cabs is because I have the 2 channel power amp the has an A and B so each side of power amp runs I cab But if you only have 20/35 amp gear It doesn’t make much sense to have a 4x 12 cab

you're welcome, have a good night!

thanks have a great day..

I edited the one I just did on mixolydian. Thank you for watching it! yes they do evoke moods darker LOCRIAN or lighter LYDIAN. the major modes have major chords happier the minor modes have minor chords sadder. I did get to see a little bit of it .

Hey @dufusbug I uploaded the original Try to watch all of it because I show examples of how the mode matches the chord And I also play in a minor mode and you can hear examples of why it’s best to not solo over a major chord with a minor mode vise versus a major chord over minor mode…enjoy I really hope this helps you guys out
