I've had a few lessons with some high level players. I am absolutely no virtuoso but Wes had me understanding things I've wondered about for years in an hour lesson putting him above all my other teachers. Cant wait to take more with him.

Dude same here. I had my first lesson with him last month and afterwards I just sat in my garage silent for a few minutes trying to comprehend how much I learned and how well he explained things in an hour that I couldn't fully understand in 5 years of guitar lessons and 10 years of me dicking around myself and googling. Absolutely unreal

Yeah his perspective and lessons on Riffhard have made my playing much more bulletproof.. the upstroke lesson was my favorite. All lessons on there are fantastic
@EricBgtr092 жыл бұрын
Yep, took lessons with him for a while and he’s an incredibly good teacher. I’ve always felt overwhelmed and struggled with theory on my own, but he makes it basically idiot proof and then builds on what you previously learned. Same with techniques, really well explained and constantly pushing you to learn new things while revisiting the old. Highly recommend lessons with him. Put in the work with him and I promise you’ll learn more in a few months than you thought possible. Guitar progress on fucking crack.

As a player heavily influenced by dime, Wes has been a beacon of hope in that regard. He worships Dime in the way he should and it shows through in his playing!

I’m conflicted about my right hand technique. I’ve always had an angled pick and fanned fingered method. Loomis is one of my favorite players and he was talking about how he is transitioning to a curled finger approach. I’ve been listening to other good players who say flat picking is the way to go too. Then I see Wes with his angle and fanned fingered hand and I think....which way is the most efficient way. I may be overthinking it, because so many good guitar player approach picking somewhat differently from each other.
@josuastangl71402 жыл бұрын
Both pros and cons. Closed can generate more force, open more endurance. You can switch between the two when necessary
@ATurnerC Жыл бұрын
Do them all, just be sure you know which whenever you track. I tend to lean towards the fanned out angle on faster alternate picking things, on super fast stuff I tend to leave my pinky under the bridge pickup to use for leverage to go faster and also not risk hitting my volume knob. On a lot of the medium paced rhythms I tend to hit flat but in chords I rarely try to percussively hit all the strings of that chord at the same time, I follow the strings more naturally now and it creates massive dynamics. For leads or more technical work like super aggressive down picking, my hand is closed. Find out what works for you just make sure that you know how you are picking it was tracking to get the best stereo signal. I always like the approach of, whoever plays the part best in a song, gets to record both tracks. Which I'd always fun because you may record the verse and the 2nd guitarist may record the chorus, and you might record the leads and harmonies but they have a dope sweeping pattern to add because they've been working on it. Makes the finer details super consistent.
