Double Down Up Guitar Technique In Detail by Brad Davis

[@BradDavisMusic]

Hey guys, I am finally getting up to speed on all this awesome social media and will try to be more present for comments and questions depending on my production and touring schedule

[@MrEvanBacon]

I first saw this technique 15 years ago and I still am amazed by it.

[@DerekHerbst747]

Thanks Brad. Your Clips are really great, You're an excellent teacher.

[@someguy4505]

Looks like I have some practicing to do. Thanks!

[@BradDavisMusic]

Yes , I meant up on the fifth . Every now and then I will slip up, I guess it will keep y'all going!!!!!

[@tjaxx821]

Amazing double down up with right hand. But the way Brads left hand matches it, is also amazing.

[@toddbrooks1548]

Been working with Brad's book "Developing speed,accuracy and tone" - really a great resource . If want to get better at flat picking, it's silly NOT to have a copy. No affiliation, just a very happy "student".

[@shaunhopper11]

Innovator of a style. Astounding!

[@shaunhopper11]

This guy is SO FREAKING TALENTED!!!

[@RALPH7109]

Great lesson,you make it seem so easy.

[@DanC000]

thanks for this video Brad. gave me a new perspective...need to try it out now.

[@babilonex]

Seams simple but how talent and devotion one needs to be close to him. Great!

[@LUckybones25]

You are a fantastic instructor! Keep it up man.

[@behnamzadeh1936]

very good subject thanks

[@sachetsofrelish]

Beautiful.

[@googlesux1291]

love this guy

[@mohammadkaraminejad3435]

Amazing

[@jz4901]

Super playing, what a great sound. It seems that at slower tempos (tempi?), there is a lot of elbow motion, but at a higher tempo the technique changes automatically to more of a forearm rotation. The slow tempo practice doubtless helps establish the necessary arm placement and relaxation, but I feel that they're two separate motions and nerve impulses. Of course, it's all easy to talk about. 😛 Cheers and thank you for taking the time to record and share your knowledge! z

[@Teleman01]

I've been trying to learn this technique for 10 years LOL. I tried every way possible. I just can't get it. I'm a pretty good flat picker. But this one has me stumped LOL.

[@axesbowledaslove]

Tremendous vid, Brad. Thank you so much for putting it up. Liked, Subscribed, Awesomed!

[@ChrisArtOfWar]

Thanks for the insight, Brad! I've been doing a bit of this in my playing without even realizing it... haha

[@Mizmusic]

[@NearlyNormalSteve]

check out the video "double down up guitar technique" over to the right. He shows it very clearly there, its down on 6 to 5 down on 5 to 4 up on 5.

[@charliewelch328]

Damm this is good info

[@BradDavisMusic]

Coming soon!

[@Beepers3]

At about 31 seconds into the video, did you say up on the forth. should it be up on the fifth? I love your lessons.

[@JediTy63]

Brad, I use 38mm nylon picks.. In most hands it would be like playing with a piece of paper, but I'm quite heavy handed, and they really give when I play rhythm,, They seem to work ok while I practice this speed lick, but I don't want to cut corners with this technique.. What gauge would you suggest I use for optimum out put, when practicing this technique? Thanks for your comment bro' Ty.

[@theScytheofGod]

same here!

[@johnnywo33]

can you show us some stuff with the left hand? I think I have the double down up technique, I just don't know what to do with it.

[@lucascamenisch3619]

So, I understand the technique, but i dont really get what he is doing with his left hand to make it Sound like that. Is there a tutorial also?

[@PETERMARIAFLOWERS]

GRACIAS, MACHOTE, MUY BIEN. SALUDOS

[@yensilluap]

Brad - on the "up" you are hitting the A sting right? Rests on the 4th and comes back to hit the 5th?

[@johngilbert5875]

That’s true, I came up on the 4th for a day until it dawned on me to rest on the 4th, but come up on the 5th, not 4th

[@JoeyGirsang]

Your cool

[@NearlyNormalSteve]

Well, now I know what I'll be doing for a while.

[@a4amyli]

The simplest hardest thing

[@neildrachlen9149]
