I’ve played guitar for years. Ever since I started checking out some of the practice routines, you’ve shown me that I definitely have holes in my playing. Thanks for sharing soooo many lessons to help me play better overall guitar!!!

[@7thheaventruth]

Thank you for all you do Steve

[@artist1138]

I'm glad I caught this about a month in my new journey of learning guitar. The very first exercise was a brain twister, but then I found the rocking rhythm and started becoming more aware of the space between the strings. This is gonna be cool.

[@kevinpflaum19]

Thanks so much for the tips and help Steve. This is really helpful!

[@Guitarzoom]

Hi Kevin! My pleasure! Glad to know the lesson was helpful. Any questions feel free to ask.

[@dustdevilz4771]

It’s my ring finger and pinky that always seem to have their own agendas so exercises like this can really help. Thanks!

[@lelandgaunt7130]

Legato is what's going to help that brother. That's a classic sign of weakness. Pinky and ring finger not working together and not able to keep time means you have serious weakness there. Like all of us had at one point. I suggest doing John Petrucci's legato exercises from Rock Discipline to start. You'll eventually want to add more and tailor the exercises to suit your needs. I think he gives 3 exercises that you have to do for 6 minutes straight without stopping. You both combination of finger practice, 1 - 2 - 4 and 1 - 3 - 4. You can do picking exercises for 2 years and not gain the required strength needed to do what you want. Just 6 months of legato focus and things will improve and you'll see results. I suggest you also use a clean setting on the amp or acoustic guitar when you practice the above. Acoustic guitar is hardcore, but boy, will it work.

Thank you sir

I am playing guitar less than a year and I am always happy to see any video from Steve. He has a talent to explain things in a very professional and clear, but simple way where you can basically start at any point and with any excercise you catch. You do not need all those theories and fundamental knowledge in music to get immediately into practice. I was never bothered with all that science behind the magic. I started playing guitar to play and not to transcript all that stuff before I begin to do anything I always wanted to. And Steve does that right as this should be. The same with songs. I can immediately grab anything done by Steve without hesitating if I will understand that or not... because anybody will understand it. it's a huge advantage of his lessons You do a great job, Maestro! Many many many thanks, Steve, for all that work!

There's some really cool overtones being created in the first and second exercises, sounds like a robot 🤖

[@arash2803]

I don't know why doesn't have more likes... No way...

[@nicoscarfo4486]

One of the best exercises to build alternate picking speed is this shape moved all over the neck, I believe this is one of Paul Gilberts exercises, you can hear this in some of his fast shred licks Dstring:10-12-13 Gstring:10 Dstring:13-12-10-12-13 Gstring:10 Dstring:13-12-10-12-13 Gstring:10 Dstring:13-12-10-12-13 Gstring:10 Dstring:13-12-10-12-13 you get the idea, start slow and build up speed as your fingers warm up, use all different finger patterns too and 2 to 3, 4 if you can reach fret stretches and so on Dstring:10-11-13 Gstring:10 Dstring:13-11-12................. Basically a 1-3-4-1-4-3-1 and 1-2-4-1-4-2-1 finger pattern This is an advanced exercise to help more with your alternate picking, the last note on the Dstring should be a down stroke, then up stroke on the G Dstring:10-12-13 Gstring:10 Dstring:13 Gstring:10 Dstring:13-12,10..................... Dstring:10-11-13 Gstring:10 Dstring:13 Gstring:10 Dstring:13-11-10.....................

Hey thanks so much for the comment and for sharing your feedback. Keep up the great work!

[@Levelheaded_Music]

Thanks Steve. I've been playing acoustic for 18 years on and off, but I've been playing a lot over the last few months and have improved more in that time than the previous 17 or so years. I had a fender electric guitar for a week, but I never played it once. 😖 I think I sold it for cigarette money like 15 years ago.🤣 I regret getting rid of it now because I have no electric to practice with. I've reached the point where I should be transitioning. Maybe my wife will be nice on my birthday.👍🏻P.S. I quit smoking.😂

[@Guitarzoom]

Good for you friend! You still have time to start over

[@JAHLife]

😂 love the story and proud of you!! I just started guitar 🎸 recently. Check out my channel to see my practice sessions. Follow along 🚀🥇

[@OfficiallyPlat]

😂Love it!

[@sole__doubt]

My story is similar, Ive been playing off and on since the late 80s and I also have learned more in the past couple years than ever. Its a testament to how useful and effective videos like the ones from Steve are for learning technique. You used to have to hire a teacher and hope that you have a good one that you get along with.

Your Suhr almost looks like Nunos washburn. Cool! What was the topic about? Just had eyes for your guitar! 🥰🤘🤘😜

[@Guitarzoom]

Hey thanks for commenting. Yeah this Suhr is awesome. Great sound and really easy to play. It's a Custom Modern Satin. 🙂

[@SuperArif1978]

If the sweep picking is 1 finger for 3 strings, can we replace it with 3 fingers, for example 1 freet has 3 strings pressed?

[@Guitarzoom]

Hi! Sure, if that works out for you, absolutely. Many times we have to find our own way to solving technical issues and not everything works the same way for everyone. Experiment with different solutions and find the one that works best for you. Keep up the great work and thanks for your comment!

[@SuperArif1978]

@@Guitarzoom thanx for reply,, that very helpful form me, i am sory my english not good

[@ruggie.74]

is it okay that i have to look at my right hand when doing the string skipping scratches, or should i really be avoiding that?

[@Guitarzoom]

Hi. Thanks for commenting. Yes, it's totally ok to look at your hands. You are building muscle memory at first and eventually you won't need to look at your hands at all. If you want to learn more songs, dig deeper into this and other topics check out this link. A great promo and a chance to win a $1500 Guitar Center gift card.

@@Guitarzoom Thanks so much for all your help and wonderful lessons.

[@shubamkumar7272]

I always stuck in the string transitions Will these exercises help me ?

[@lukeparraguitarstuff9698]

yes

[@Guitarzoom]

Yes absolutely! If you are having trouble moving from one string to the next, the best thing you can do is to focus on the exercises that involve string transitions. At first only practice the exercises that involve the picking hand like the one starting on 1:25. Another very important thing is to keep your muscles relaxed. Don't pick too hard because that will increase tension and keep the pick movement as short as possible. Once you feel comfortable with these exercises, add the fretting hand and work on the sync between both movements. Hope this helps!
