Before I get to old and die I want to shred. I try and try and my picking hand just doesn't hang eith the feet hand. You frickin rock my dude keep shredding for those of us who wish we could.

[@oddfellowfloyd]

Here, here! I've been playing since I was 15 (24 years now??), & I've always had horrid tension in my shoulders & hands that I've tried for ages to rid myself of. My left hand pinky is drinking tea (pinky up!, haha), even though I've been trying to get it to cooperate ever since, and the faster I try to go, the more tense I get. I used to be able to play a little faster when I was in my early 20's, but I faded out of doing leadwork, in favour of composing & loving writing neat chord progressions & rhythms. I would love to be able to shred again...

[@jb-ro4ow]

Love ya Rick! Thanks so much for the incredibly useful information you put out.

This lesson is gold!! Thanks a lot,Rick

This was very helpful ,make me explore more licks and ideas on my guitar ,thanks !!

[@turbotunna3794]

So without being facetious here - the only thing I instantly got from this vid was that next time I mess up a lead line I can just say "haha - I've changed key there" 3:23 Another brilliant vid Rick, thank you... now to practice!!

[@russowings5351]

Excellent lesson.👍more hybrid picking plz.

[@canofpaint2336]

Why does my guitar not do that

[@thorndog100]

Your not using the same strings..Yep thats got to be it,, I also need to change my strings, then we will both sound like RG..

[@julioxt3]

Have you double checked if it comes with a Rick Graham? That could possibly be the issue.

[@yunyun508]

Should try a new one

[@AJGNW]

Straight up great lesson! Thanks Rick!

[@CMM5300]

Great lesson Rick! I like the extra notes. I think that will help me with the 5's.... as always thanks!

[@CMM5300]

Greatest Rick! Yes the best way I have figured out to play a dominate 7th arpeggios descending or ascending in a sequence of 5's is linear with 2 1 2. On the high 3 strings. there's a tremendous amount of forms to play the dominate 7th arpeggios and I try to practice them all. Linear, horizontal. Diagonal, diagonal reverse combining 2 forms.... so on and so forth. I'm hoping you have some guitar God secret I'm missing. I was hoping maybe you had worked on that type of lick and had something up your sleeve. Great lessons as always from an outstanding guitarist! Im always looking forward to your videos! Thanks! Cheers!

[@bryanlevi5226]

Rick I was watching your body transformation video and since I've started working out myself and I also play the guitar, how the hell did you find time to hit the gym that much and practice the guitar that much? Were they pretty much the only things you did? Now that I understand bodybuilding a little more I can appreciate how much time it must have taken and on top of that add the guitar too...I can only focus on one big thing at a time, either guitar or going to the gym if I really want to improve a lot. How did you do both?

[@skylar.simoncelli]

Step 1: Play guitar a lot Step: 2: Go to the gym a lot

[@CMM5300]

@@skylar.simoncelli I like to do set with weights then a set on guitar. Alternating..... that helps to do both at the same time. If your working out and practicing at home anyway....

[@skylar.simoncelli]

@@CMM5300 I've not done circuit training like that, I mostly stick to the classic split techniques like Legs & Legato, Tapping & Traps, etc.

[@kevinstewart8120]

what is your recommendation on PICKING arpeggios at high speeds? the glass prison is like the gold standard for picking arpeggios and it's insane to be able to pick that fast and that clean. any tips? how do you do that?

[@albertortiz1338]

Can someone explain the fingering. Plz thank you.

[@curtbrown9919]

Interesting! I've always tried to play diatonically, but I'm finding that a lot of my favorite guitarists use symmetrical finger patterns, even if it deviates from the key / chord shape. Hmmmmm!

[@merttalay9702]

This lesson is the beginnig of fusion soloing I think.

[@chipperhippo]

always walk away from an RG video inspired to try some new ideas

[@oscarestrella3512]

My hand gets stiff af and fatigue when practicing this techniques, any advises ?

[@gereonH]

i would recommend light or extra light strings and practice how soft you can touch the string before it starts to buzz. Do this reeeeealy slow to get a lighter touch. try to stay relaxed. Your muscles will start to use less force. At first concentrate your perception on your fingers and lower arm. Do this with really easy exercises in one position. Just 1-2-3-4 (fingering) than variations. After a while you can do this while watching tv or reading a book. This is a thing of muscle-memory, which has to be programmed. Make frequently pauses, because your motorcortex (a part in your brain that commands your muscles) needs some time to build new neurons and connections. And check how you hold your left hand: your thumb should be behind the neck, opposite your 2nd finger - like a classical player would do.
