Arpeggio Sequence To Bring My Picking Technique Back

[@yonikup2865]

Tried playing it in my head and I still missed notes...

[@menamgamg]

To be honest a big part of playing fast is being able to hear it in your head. That's why a metronome and practicing accenting notes on the beat is really helpful!

[@markjohnson9485]

Lmao!!!

[@IshredGuitar]

This is one of my favorite new-classical scale runs and I learned it from Rick Graham. So I'm thankful for his shred knowledge!

[@GKboards]

You're the man, Rick. Can't thank you enough for your contributions to the guitar world

[@RickGraham]

Thanks, Todd!

[@monsterram6617]

Rick's shittiest day playing is better than 99.9% of people's best playing!

[@fernandomoreno7753]

An out of practice Rick Graham is still a million times better than me. Life isn't fair.

[@aykutaydogdu269]

Fernando Moreno Life is fair. He is million times better than you and me, because he practiced million times more than us brother.

[@JensHappe]

but maybe you have more personality

[@chumpymcchump5024]

I feel your pain

[@inakiaraluze4528]

Out of practice is just an expression, he has thousands of hours of practice.

[@hoasenfreak]

Who is your target group? Yngwie Malmsteen and co?

[@andresludmer]

you sir... are freaking insane!!!!!!!!!

[@RickGraham]

Back at ya bro!

[@andresludmer]

@@RickGrahami could never economy pick like that. you are a monster rick

[@menamgamg]

This is literally the first thing i'm playing after about 9months of no guitar because of depression. Thanks Rick for still being here ti inspire us :D

[@cosmicman621]

I understand...as do SO MANY others that we just don’t hear..know..about..Bright Moments 🌈

[@Dreamdancer11]

Even if you dont play a note from Ricks various exercises but just sit back and watch how he approaches picking from an efficiency standpoint...you have already learned a lot....

[@nocturcemanox6634]

All your licks help keep guitarists going Thank you very much \m/

[@guitarhero9147]

Hello Rick. I have been concerned about your health & I am so glad to see that you are doing better!!! I continue to keep you in prayer. God bless.

[@JohnJRevitte]

Nice job Rick!

[@joegonzalez5603]

Wow nice, and clean sound when you play.

[@HoradricGuitar]

“My technique is a bit shitty at the moment” Ok now you’re just showing off lol.

[@Voytoy]

You're undoubtedly the most important guitar player /teacher on KZbin, I look forward to every new video put out because I know I'll learn something innovative and amazing! thank you for taking the time to put these out and break complex parts down for people to be able to learn them and add tools and skills to their playing

[@neuk01642]

HOLY FUCKING HELL!!!!!! Fast is defined by that point where the frames per second on the video can't keep up with Rick's hands... mesmeric man, mesmeric!

[@bobby9847]

I love how simple your videos are. It really makes it easy for me to learn.

[@bobby9847]

By this I mean you don't fluff it up with "ok now 15th fret a string then 14th fret a string then 12th fret a string" You just play it without a bunch of confusing bullshit.

[@MichaelYork777]

I am 56 and have been playing for 44 years off and on but now that I am really pushing myself, after learning a lot of Zeppelin and Yes, Heart, and Boston, Kansas, Styx Cream, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Peter Frampton, Journey, and so on, to explore other Jazz Chords and phrasings, I find I am torn over using a pick. I can play "almost" as fast without a pick, but with just my thumb I lose the precision trill, but I also lose "Pick Click" which tends to make one either, carefully swipe the pick alternately between edge strikes and slanted strikes to "soften" the staccato pick sound that can develop as you do a run. Of course, just holding a pick and alternating with thumb, and for use in hybrid picking, is the best way, which is how I play, I was just wondering if "Pick Click" bothers you, or what do you think of "adaptive" pick alignment? I see you maintain a nice slant on the sweeps but when the staccato picking comes in then the pick click dominates, of course you have to use various thumb spots to minimize abrasion but it's so pleasing.The pick is still necessary.

[@WizardOfArc]

Your work is amazing... I’m in awe.... the dedication you must have had to get to where you are now is frightening

[@aleibus]

I had slowed down the video ready to start working... this is much much better, thanks !!

[@JPOliveiragtr]

Master! I learn a lot from your videos! Tnks!

[@ESPSJ]

dat tone. thanks for the lessons Rick.

[@Makinwaives]

Thanks Rick. I don't think I can ever do that but I'll keep trying. Really appreciate quality technique. Oh, Thanks for the Spanish Fly video also.

[@thomaszonkowski2115]

good to see you back Rick!

[@whatmattersmarshall]

We love you, Rick!!!

[@blujguitar6520]

Just spent the last hour playing this lick. It's really fun! The trickiest part was the turn around when descending through the scale. I love these videos, always fun!

[@SonOfEuterpe]

Rick is such a good teacher that I've stopped the video at 0:15

[@mikedixon8830]

This was a good one. Practice, practice, repeat.

[@Charnel.Flames]

That hybrid picking part (6:05) reminds me of Light of the Seven from the Game of Thrones (Season 6, Episode 10)

[@97stratocaster21]

This is just flat out, full on great playing. Thanks.

[@samuelmaia9612]

Awesome! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

I set my guitars on fire after watching this introduction.

[@jkguitarstudio1146]

Rick...pleasure always your lessons. Thanks ! Your are one of the best guitar players in this planet

[@KG-wp6gh]

Thanks for the tutorial and new ideas!

[@caryverhalen]

Thank you Rick you are so talented will enjoy learning this immensely

[@dorianponcela9680]

Even if you're an advanced player, this is extremely difficult. Anyway, it's worth practicing it to expand your mind. You always learn something new, even if you can't play it the same way (or even close). Rick is amazing and should be playing in the same stage as Paul gilbert, Guthrie Govan, Steve Vai and others.

[@malkavian6275]

Love you Rick!

[@ronniecoffey9945]

Dude that is Wicked !! Luv how agressive & bad ass your technique is, thx for sharing this one Matey, i've gotta practice this one

[@TkmMusicProduction]

Hi rick, do you play in any band ? Or compose your our songs?

[@MILLERTRANSCENDENT]

Man... killer technique I see

[@peatonpulse]

Out of practice???? I wish I played it in my best moment... AMAZING!!!

[@jameswcollett]

This is sick, Rick.

[@TheArgus1000]

Awesome lick! Will keep me busy for a week.

[@mustangtech331]

Picking exercise... hammer ons, legato, hybrid picking and sweeps.. which part was focused on bringing back your picking technique? Don’t get me wrong, it was cool and well played.. just didn’t see how it related specifically to picking.

[@DanAnderson_TheMaddestShredder]

Mad Respect Rick Your So Awesome My Brother. God bless you

[@guitarsolutionsmusicacadem6163]

Very useful lesson

[@DesignCourse]

What pick is that you're using? I'm blaming my pick for my economy technique sounding a bit muddy. ;)

[@RickGraham]

Its an old Andy James Dunlop signature pick

[@alexbaskov]

omg, Gary is also here! i thought i'm on a wrong channel at first :D

[@DesignCourse]

@@alexbaskov Nope. I'm a huge fan of Rick.

[@robertburks2187]

Awesome player. Awesome lesson. Would like to know where and when you perform live.

[@daltonetzler5485]

Thanks for posting! Great to see you Rick. :)

[@TowardsEternityIzharulHaqq]

nice lesson man

[@Mustafa-ou8qs]

Just a quick question, what key are the arpeggios in? Dmin to C7 is firmly in D minor but B diminished and A7 are not? What is happening here and how does it resolve back to D? I know that A7 is a secondary dominant but the B diminished arpeggio doesn't make sense.

[@baygeorgen5938]

Hey Rick, trying to practice slow to a metronome and I was wondering what note values youre typically playing with in this for example, and if you change note value, because I honestly cant tell

[@Kebbius]

Very great Rick!!! You are a great Master!! Which pickup do you have on the stratocaster?

[@arunidas5528]

a PDF file of the shred would be much appreciated. Thanks Rick.

[@SunilMungur]

Love your videos rick! And the 2 instructionals I bought are great! I would love to see how you would apply all your killer licks to a tune like donna lee or even something more simple like all of me.. have u already done something like that maybe?

[@caryverhalen]

Love this Rick! Ty so much

[@borka4319]

head off...👏👍🤘

[@BDaMonkey]

> Says his picking technique is shitty ATM > Melts my face off in the intro Can I have your shitty technique when you move onto something better Rick?

Do you write your stuff on paper before touching the guitar?

Thx, just burned all my gear. All jokes aside amazing playing.

[@jonathanpeters9271]

Hey Rick I love your videos you're an incredible guitar player. The only complaint I have is that in a lot of your videos your amp volume is so low that the strings themselves sound quite loud. No big deal.

[@seahorseforce]

He'll get in trouble if he turns his amp up any louder.😁
