Great lesson dude! The essential principles of solfeggio mapped out with strength and dexterity exercises all ultimately leading into the benefits of an enhanced performance which can then be used on the pentatonic scale! Bravo and thanks!

[@MrMixolydian7]

Thank you for this. I’m a pianist by trade and an intermediate guitarist who has struggled with pull offs. The way you filmed that segment clearly showed the right way to do it! I saw immediate results tonight! Granted I still need to practice the other concepts but your video helped me break through a barrier that has been the bane of my guitar playing. Thank you!

[@ericstolze8925]

Your right hand is extraordinary. Thanks for an excellent lesson!

[@Stephen-zx4uf]

Unbelievably perfect exercise for me! Gonna hop on your Patreon! Thank you! 🕊️🙏

[@MisterManuva]

Apart from speed, I think theese excercises are great for improvisation too. Giving a solo (or any melodic line really) more articulate rythm makes a huge difference between "boring and stale" and "groovy and engaging". Thanks for sharing them, I will include this in my practice routine for sure!

The hard thing is To be able To moving between the strings not in triplets when you play three notes per strings.

Your tutorials are great love from India ❤❤

Hugs!! Miss being in india!

This is the most instructive video i've ever watched about guitar practicing ! I'll practice that way every day ! I can do that ! :>)))

[@don911donny9]

Just begun to try and speed up my playing so perfect timing with the release of your video 😊

[@IIllIIllIl]

Fun video! Love the little bit of Konnakol that came out when you were discussing subdivisions, always helps me think of counting subdivisions more organically & I don’t hear it from many players

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Yea, I feel it's really helpful to hear them

[@gregdemeterband]

thanks so much! i FOUND OUT SO MUCH ABOUT MY OWN sPEED PLAYING, WHEN iT WAS SHOWN TO ME, i GOT IT...

[@andbenitz]

Great tips! I also like to use konnakol to help sing the subdivisions.

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Super helpful I feel

[@kjellbratt6301]

Cool!! Its like some legato in it to?And hold the pick soft, not hard

[@wachiravichamorndachaphon5257]

Thank you so much. I love you.

[@djmileski]

[@ohtravo997]

What kind of strings are you using? Idk if the first technique is even gonna be possible on my 13 flats

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

You can do it w any strings tbh

[@sebastianwei7721]

Pretty cool video, are you aware you’re doing exaggerated movements wrist with your left hand when you show legato stuff? I try to avoid sth like this cause students will pick up all your mannerisms. Sth that makes sense, is convenient, or just happens in a teaching session isn’t necessarily useful for the music or your students hands.

[@Davidz_Harp]

Harpejjist here thanks for the great content!

[@mr.k905]

Great video, great advice, honestly!! However, it is a complete misconception that being fast equates to being a great guitarist. It's exactly this kind of immature thinking that leads some to believe that complicated design is better than simple, that more spices make better food and that more words per sentence make better sentences/content. The opposite is true of course: making something really effective with very little effort is where real art begins. And this is true for any field of life. Once one arrives at this conclusion, the countless hours spent on getting faster will appear like a maaaaassive waste of time. …at least if true art is what you’re after. Speed is nothing more than a party trick in the world of real creativity. For some it takes a lifetime to realize that.

[@kostasjazz]

Great videi

[@Bronco-1776]

Fine if you wanna play like that but if you want to produce music with feeling and bend some notes to get it you'll soon put your thumb back to where it belongs on the side.

[@RishiDarn]

First comment and appreciate what you do for us myann!

[@RotemSivanGuitar]

Thank you!! ❤️🙏🙏 means a lot.

[@imNqt]

A Serious Question.... Why is it that A Lot of people See insanely fast playing as skill/Being good? I'm on a Whole different approach; If I understand the Theory and "Ear" for Music, I can implement it to almost everything, in which I can use a Metronome to increase the speed to Desired amount. I'm by no means a Good player; I've had 2 years of Community College lol...

[@barflytom3273]

imNqt. insanely fast playing is definitely a skill, you can acquire it in time if you really want it. but it's not enough to make good music, but it's good to have.

[@imNqt]

@@barflytom3273 I absolutely agree; My take on it is that it's Praised more in general than other skills - I myself, find other skills more helpful and looked past more, where as fast playing is the Kool Aid most people are gunning for. I whole heartedly though see fast playing as a skill, just not a skill worth more than others. Playing at 300bpm and don't know the scales, chords, triads, rythm or anything other than fast playing?

[@barflytom3273]

@@imNqt well said. cheers.

[@dannyhood4007]

Why is it traditional jazz guitar tone sounds plain drab? I could be wrong? My thinking on jazz guitar ‘TONE’

[@djmileski]

I can see what you mean. I chose to (try to /learn) how to play jazz in the acoustic because I like the beefier percussive element almost likened to a tenor.

[@MikeWh]

When technique tries to conquer music stay with the music.

[@arosalesmusic]

Frank Gambale is like no other, and he doesnt really alternate pick that much.

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

Not totally true: He alternates when picking the same string. It’s all about efficiency.

[@arosalesmusic]

He can alternate pick better than most guitarrists.@@JazzRockswithAdam

[@JazzRockswithAdam]

@@arosalesmusic Agreed!

[@chrrev1]

I'm always wondering about this seeming obsession with speed as a yardstick for a "good" guitarist these days... I mean, what, Govan? He might play fast but personally I'm not impressed, in the sense that the music doesn't do it for me no matter how fast he churns out notes... Jeff Beck on the other hand for example wasn't exactly a "shredder" but his musical did it for me a whole lot more... Now purely for practice I think it is one useful tool to work on speed, but it's never gonna be a goal in itself... Can one enjoy just one note

[@Silvertip1958]

IMO- the speed makes no sense. The best solos are slow to medium, with emotion built in. But that’s just MO.

But if you need a speedy passage, that's better if you can do it.

[@MrMixolydian7]

I hear you. There are exceptions within the Djent genre. Namely, Andy James and Al Joseph. Both guys establish compelling melody lines and then tastefully weave shredding within. Also true of Dave Bainbridge (progressive rock).

[@baruchdor]

When you can play fast properly it will be easier for you to play slow with conviction

[@Silvertip1958]

@@baruchdor very true. Terry Kath’s 25 or 6 to 4 solo is a good example of that I think.

[@JohnSmith-in1tt]

Check out some Steve Vai and Frank Gambale. You might end up rethinking that

[@ElroyMunson]

Hard to believe you appreciate those "shredders"... ZERO Melody and feel. Rapid Fire notes that happen to be in a scale are completely useless. Not music.

[@stefanoagostini_com]

very useful!
