That trem technique is textbook wrong. The write should be moving up and down, not side to side. Look at paul gilbert, his picking hand technique is essentially flawless, and he uses the same picking motion for alt and trem.

Love covers like this that prove that you don't have to have certain equipment to play exact solos etc. When I first started playing, I got so overwhelmed that if I couldn't use their exact guitar or tone or pedal or whatever that I could never play the song/solo. But things like this just prove that you can overcome pretty much anything with skill. Well-played and the whammy-less whammy sections were done extremely well

[@GuitarKingdom1]

Thanks bro! That's exactly yhe point, we just got accept what we got and do our best 💯💯🤘🏻

[@jeanlucbergman479]

Not exact, but don't pretend that he isn't using an incredibly instrument. On a Squier Strat it wouldn't be even comparable.

[@CrNcHyFROG5]

@@jeanlucbergman479 There's literally thousands and thousands of videos on KZbin showing people getting great tone from $50 Walmart guitars. Your argument doesn't hold any water. This video wasn't solely made possible because Les Pauls are great instruments.

Lol. Is changing the way one holds the pick somehow an accomplishment now? Other people can pick this fast without needing to lift up their wrist. The only thing that matters is the resulting sound, nothing else. You don't need to try and mimic everything a famous guitarist does.

[@orestispalampougioukis6043]
