Dam, I really hope you get back to ypur old level

[@toddkissinger1440]

Absolutely love this guided practice. I’m 65 years old and all your videos are very helpful to my late in life guitar journey. Thanks so much.

[@johnpistotnik3536]

I like these , it is the gritty stuff that most don't show but is the real deal.

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Im glad you like it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@matthewpichou]

Like the guided practice. It quiets my tendency to overthink things and instead, let the groove take over.

[@Bikeadelic]

Great drill. I also find it helps to put your finger back on the pick board when you're done plucking and try not to move them. Then it's a challenge to remember to bring them back up in time for the next one.

[@dmyerstc55]

I am still doing this everyday as a part of my warm up. I love the key drills to improve your skills

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Nice! I appreciate your support! Thanks for commenting!

[@LittleSchrute]

Dude - this is so awesome. I've been having a hard time with some of the intermediate stuff that involes thumb independence and haven't been able to feel like i'm improving until finding this video!! Thank you tons.

Great practice for thumb independence. I'm using this daily.

This was great. Just what I needed. Thanks for making this available.

very good exercise. thank you

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thank you for your kind words, I'm happy you enjoyed the exercise!

[@jeromerice3448]

Thanks this is a great thing. I have never had a real practice organized before.

[@mettelyngholm4541]

This was useful to me as a beginner. Been playing for six months now and it feels like I have to start over and over again from the beginning 😂😂

[@michaelt2842]

I really like the guided exercises. Took me three days to make it through to the end. I'd love to see more like this. If I had one request, it would be a little less talking during the exercise itself. Like 20% less.

As always, your lesson is great and very useful. Do you have other lesson on this kind (highest level of difficulies, picking at the end", etc.?

One of my regrets in learning the guitar was to not learn finger picking. This was very helpful. Thank you.

More attack! Our last Zoom lesson you suggested a thumb pick. A friend gave me one a while back I never gave it much of a chance. Your right to suggest to try it and see how much can be done with it. I like the aggressive bass from it 👍

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Yea give it a shot and you might like it! Thanks for commenting!

[@fredericst-amand4246]

I've been looking for this kind of video for a long time but I don't feel it really works independence if you don't play any treble notes. Maybe some exercises with the thumb playing on beat and index finger playing triplet or quarter notes ? Anyhow great vid.

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks for watching! Maybe I'll try to add more of the fingers with some syncopation instead of just quarter notes. Thanks for commenting!

[@brucem.cameron1095]

Greta video

[@dmyerstc55]

This is a great lesson. Great strategy to get that independence. Thank you

[@dmyerstc55]

How often do you recommend doing this exercise in order to lock in that independence

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

It depends on how focused your practice is. It takes most people 1-3 years of consistent practice but with an extremely high level of focus you could get comfortable in a few months.

[@dmyerstc55]

@@FeedbackGuitarAcademy thanks for the reply. Getting this down is a part of my daily practice and I am adding this lesson technique to it.

[@dmyerstc55]

It would be great if you add the syncopation to this. But great and I appreciate the tabs to use offline. Thanks Heath

[@davidpatrick1813]

Thanks again … I came back to it but it would be nice to have three or four things daily for a week plus plus

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Thanks- Maybe I can do some more like this one. Ill see what I can do

[@juanpablogarcia2674]

Gracias!!! Tus vídeos son buenísimos!! Amo su música y que nos enseñes a tocarla es genial!!

[@bobpower8411]

Hello, this is great exercise, I use it daily. I was wondering what would be the next step in this learning process. Thanks for the great videos.

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Im glad you like it! The next steps, once you feel a little bit more comfortable performing this movement, would be to learn some easy ish songs using this technique. Maybe check out Lonesome Valley by Mississippi John Hurt. I have a lesson on that song and its a good place to start. 👍

[@jackschulte263]

Just what I was looking for! What's the next step?

[@robertlees8543]

That was a very good lesson. Can you maybe go to introducing some basic syncopation when you think it appropriate?

[@maildanielotero]

Excelente. Muchas gracias!!!

[@davidpatrick1813]

I do much of my own finger picking ... (need to get WAYY better) and the constant boom chick is/has been a problem where as I just play a base along the way ... I think I lack the discipline that makes it more natural later.. the last section was particularly interesting with three times then not... metronome paying all the time is really helpful but I forget to do it 99% of the time.. so I can tell this lesson will help. I have others too of course.

[@mikefox2379]

My Taylor is 414 Grand Auditorium. I love the head stock on yours! What model is it?

[@alandmcleod5988]

Excellent! Strangely I found my left hand hammering on the A chord in sync with my right thumb 😢 what's that about?

[@AmericanHinoki]

I'm pretty high and that was pretty fun.

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

lol- thanks for watching!

[@meanddevil5908]

Thank you. In fact, I have always wanted to buy your private lessons, but my English is not very good. I am worried that I cannot understand your teaching when communicating with you through ZOOM or skype. 😭It would be great if my English could be better

[@zanea.1116]

How am i suppose to palm mute the 4th atring without palm muting 1st through 3rd string????

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

You have to angle your palm a little bit so that it just touches the low 3 strings. And you can move it while you play to get the right sound. I hope this helps. Send me an email if you need more help.

[@kyleduesler9473]

How do I get a good palm mute?

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

I tell people to "karate chop" the strings right at the bridge (within and inch or less of the bridge) and then roll your hand over. A couple tips: 1. You dont have to mute all the strings at the same time. Usually you'll just mute the bass strings. 2. Keep the palm really close to the bridge and move it around a tiny bit while you play til you find the sweet spot. Its really close to the bridge. Hope this is helpful.

[@scotthartley8037]

What type of thumb pick are you using? Dunlop?

[@FeedbackGuitarAcademy]

Dunlop picks are good and I use those, but in this video Im using a Fred Kelly thumbpick

[@yudipitre5720]

My finger picking 234 not clear. 😞
