04 - The Best Pick Slide - Guitar Instruction by Dan Precision

[@seanmcdonald4686]

88 Fingers Louie! Dude, sometime around 1995 or 96 I bought an 88 Fingers Louie CD from a pawn shop in Kittanning Pennsylvania for $1. It was my introduction to independent punk rock, and it opened up a whole new world to me. Changed my entire life for the better. Haha, I was just looking for different perspectives on pick slides and happened to click on this video not knowing who you were. Thanks man.

[@jlunch]

simple and to the point. Strangely, sometimes this stuff isn;t so intuitive so thanks for taking your time to share with us the goods.

[@kdc420421]

The angle part helped me. Now I'm going to help you. GET A VOLUMIZING SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

[@jpatologico]

I'm 47 and I've been doing pick slide I guess since the first day I pick a guitar. Never realize this could be subject of a lesson ...bit, You did it and You did it very good...like a friend: simple and clear . Great job.

[@doozle5132]

Tom Morello made a third of a career out of awesome pick slides....

[@xfxrxmxt1981]

When I was kid in the late 90 I was skate punk fan and this guitar effect intrigued me and I thought it was pretty cool

[@monmagog]

I mostly just wanted to hear a bunch of pick sliding. And that you delivered, thank you

[@justy256]

You gave me just what I needed.

[@crlguitar1]

Better description of how to hold the pick than some of the other demos I saw on KZbin. Nobody mentions about how much distortion is best for the slide.... Glad you showed how to stay away from the frets when you slide... Cheers!

[@ethanfowler1752]

out of the 10 videos I just watched just too see who teaches pick scrapes the best in my opinion, i love your teaching and skill, I love the video isnt 25 minutes long, I learned how to do a stellar pick slide thanks to your helpful video, and im a young guitarists determined to achieve pure mastery. Thank you for your musical dedication

[@marvindroid3865]

Why does mine sound like a horse

[@isaacsilva1034]

LOL

[@n1kk3l9]

Probably pushing too hard

[@killjoythefreak]

Lmao I was wondering the same

[@joeblough261]

A horse with no name?

[@ushnicyuvnikof2748]

Maybe you're using a strat?

[@worminator15]

perfect video dude short and quick, everything said perfect, thanks man

[@merk1003]

Killer demo 🤘

[@MarxistWerminism]

yo this tripped me out i just got into 88 fingers louie and i end up watching this video lmao

[@nirvanaaa671]

Très bon tutoriel 💪🤘

[@BrooklynAvenue]

I wish I could thumbs up twice, nice, simple, thanks.

[@valeskaparoni9645]

Quick video, clear and on point. Thanks!

[@patrickgimonnet1214]

Thank you so much for your help!

[@ArnoldwilliamDow]

Believe it or not I could never really do one correctly and you ended the mystery. Thanks:)

[@WIMPY86]

Descriptive and short :) You showed and telled me!

[@petter9078]

So good tips. Thanks

[@evancontreras9127]

whenever I pick scrape i always destroy my pick; the sides of the pick get rigid. what should I do?

[@evancontreras9127]

GaLaXY_DanKNeSs360 Noscoper thanks! I'll Definelty look into it

[@pandaemonaeonaeon]

@@evancontreras9127 What was it that you did?

[@kpomi8846]

SAME my pick gets messed up

[@milan1322]

Excellent tips! 🤘 And simply explained 🤘

[@mrpotato4441]

All that information in 2 minutes. I should have looked this up years ago!

[@sergeant_salty]

damn you have some very nice and consistent pick slides

[@sinahejratypoor8598]

The best video

[@dietcoke8114]

best pick scraping tutorial in youtube so far 🤘

[@alfaman4113]

Thanks for the lesson dude. Traci Gunns does a nice pick slide then comes back at it from the head and makes it sound like loading a shot gun then firing, but didn’t show how to do it. It’s on one of his KZbin channels on riff lords I think and the riff is from “ one more reason, check it out then maybe you can show us how he does it. Thanks man love your channel

[@ItsGevYT]

Yooo thank you for this!

[@kyegaming3193]

Thanks man!

[@RepulsiveEchoRecords]

Awesome!

[@warlivache]

Dude, I thought you were John Malcovic for half a video. Great sounding pick slide, thank you for sharing.

[@1thess523]

Thanks for this, i play a song where i do a pick slide but i move the pick across the strings (i do 2) with the tip and apply it as if i was putting icing on a cake instead of like you if you can picture what i mean. Your way has more grit which I like! I'm going to try it next time we practice.

[@jerry123456789101112]

Gojira does it vertically

[@Humanumikey]

One tiny little adjustment (how you showed the angle) made my slide sound so much better! thanks man..rock on!

[@nelsarsoza149]

steve?

[@yourbrownsaviour134]

hi mr precision..does pick width /size matter?

[@lermgerm]

fuck yeah dude!

[@guyfauks2576]

I can now play skate punk

[@francishopps6658]

I am curious as to how type 0 negative, did their pick slides and other " diving " sounds that was heard all through the song Christian woman, there are many how to vids for this song , but none of them seem correct

[@alfaman4113]

An 18 inch floor Tom for a table?

[@unsubscribe_kye]

I don't know anything about electric so this may be a dumb question, but wouldn't this damage the strings?

[@DanPrecision]

Pick scrapes will barely damage the strings. In my opinion, you'd get just as much damage from simply playing. It's definitely not a concern of mine.

[@unsubscribe_kye]

Dan Precision Okay cool. Thanks so much.

[@vinceur4910]

The answer is yes. Strings tend to explode in a centrifugal fashion, resulting into immediate death for the player. It explains the high death rate amongst rockstars.

[@Scottocaster6668]

Only if you were using a saw blade for a pick. Nylon/plastic vs. Nickel plated steel... I'll bet the steel would win!

[@Scottocaster6668]

@@vinceur4910 OMG 🤣🎸....... 💥

[@Magst3r1]

Heard it sounds bad with nylon pick, what picks do you use?

[@mmmka]

what kind of strings are you using?

[@DanPrecision]

I typically use DR and the ones in the video are the Neon DR. I also like their Black Beauties.

[@Scottocaster6668]

Thicker gauge strings, more distortion helps too Randy Rhoads had the best sounding pick slide.

[@johnellwoodtaylor4769]

I’m not a guitar player but I can say whatever Ted Nugent did on Stranglehold… That’s how to do a pick slide.

[@soullessSiIence]

It sucks because I don't like picks, so I'm gonna need to create my own technique using my right hand's nails

[@bryandowdall6851]

Esteban Aguayo you'll completely fuck up your nails lol. just saying

[@soruharaguni]

Naa don't believe it, I sometimes make it with my thumb (my nails are really tough for some reason) I don't get the same sound but it is a good one...

[@Me-ji7uq]

I guess it can’t be played on a classical guitar?

[@bcrumpty]

After two slides the pics are no good, they get filed down and it looks like a comb LOL I go with the grain at least you could use your pics more than once

[@propar_4269]

The only time... a man is allowed to cross his legs... is if he is playing guitar.

[@lumberfoot2004]

I cross my legs all the time. Its really comfortable.

[@RessurectTheRage]

@@lumberfoot2004 cool beans

[@Nizzon.]

That might be the ugliest guitar I have ever seen.

[@DanPrecision]

I love my Parker Fly and it plays fabulously! You should try one out!

[@dwarfyh32]

@@DanPrecision Agree awesome guitars

[@sinkhole6341]

not really the best technique especially when you have to play immediately after and you find that your pick is upside down and to the side.

[@DanPrecision]

That is exactly why I do my pick scrapes with the point facing up. That way, for example, if I'm scraping on the low E and A strings, and go right into a downward strum, I can hit those strings without even lifting the pick off those strings. If you are scraping with the point of the pick facing down, you really can't strum right into the lowest strings, unless you are picking upwards. Anyway, this is just my favorite technique, but it doesn't mean it will work for you. Good luck!

[@ushnicyuvnikof2748]

I cant stand that headstock.

[@DanPrecision]

I love it! It's streamlined, lightweight, and great to jam into someone's face while on stage!
