Hi Alfred, did you ever bitten you nails on your left hand ?

[@zason3055]

Why is this channel so much underrated ?? It's much better than other guitar lesson channels

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

Wish I knew what I was doing wrong =\ Thanks man

[@louistech112]

Because he cares about his craft great teacher

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

I think it's because I make serious tutorials designed to actually help people instead of reaching for the low-hanging fruit and making joke guitar videos like other guys.

[@AlanGCarvajal]

@@AlfredPotterGuitar Well I'm happy you made these videos. I'll be working on these for a while :)

[@ajithav2011]

@@AlfredPotterGuitar your videos have helped me immensely. Thank you

[@dominikh.8148]

I must say, I really respect you as a guitar player, as you are extremely proficient on one hand, but also very good at explaining and pinpointing the most helpful excersizes. But I also pay respect to you as a youtuber: You reply to almost every comment, even on this video, which is now almost a year old with 48k views. Kudos to you man.

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

Well this is a nice message to wake up to! Thanks Dominik, I take great care in both developing my technique and also helping others to develop theirs. And as for the KZbin thing, I can't figure out why my channel following is small, but those who do follow me are real top quality people whom I love engaging with regularly with emails, comments and private messages.

[@bobhiggins77]

I like that you stress clean muting but didn’t mute anything while you were explaining things! 😉

Love the Symphony X masks on the wall! Favorite band.

[@gingervitus2377]

Very foundational for advanced guitarists can't believe it took me this to find this one! At least 14 years of playing and simple practices like this have been ignored! I can't be the only one.

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

I will keep on trying to reach people to help =)

[@gingervitus2377]

@@AlfredPotterGuitar Good on you man I'm so glad you're keeping it up after all this time. Teaching sharpens the stuff we already know, all while helping music evolve into the future into something unbelievable for our Earth! I learned the importance of muting, but actually practicing is a whole another story! Journeyman guitarists find it trivial at best.

[@ThonBauer]

Dear Alfred Potter, many thanks for this video. With your tip "gently unfret one note the moment the other begins", you have changed a lot about my technique point of view, honestly by doing this and practicing just less than an hour I am able to execute these diminished arpegios without using a sock or anything and I hear no loose string whatsoever. You just got a subscriber and a HUGE THANK YOU! YOU ROCK, MATE!!!

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

That's great to hear. If I can stop at least one person from using a sock/dampener then I'm happy! lol. Pleased to have you as a sub too, welcome!

Fantastic lesson, well explained.you should have far more subs as I think you are one of the best guitar teachers on KZbin. Your lesson are alway well explained and easy to follow. Best wishes from Liverpool. Dave.

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

Thanks Dave! I really don't know what I'm doing wrong regarding low subs. But at least I'm helping people and enjoying doing it =)

[@CAVERN1234]

Why don't you make a subscribe button, you can download one from google go to the video manager on your settings ,go to branding and add the water mark button to all your videos. I think you would get a lot more subs if it was on the screen as viewers would notice it more. Hope this helps with getting more subs for the fantastic work you do on these videos.

You are such a great teacher but sadly your other videos are not blowing views

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

Thanks. Yes it has really been a tough ten years trying to do this. People just don't seem hugely interested in licks and other similar tuition content. Most folks want memes and junk content loosely related to guitar. Sucks to see those joke guitar channels zooming past me but that's just the way it is.

[@swaroov9236]

@@AlfredPotterGuitar you can actually upgrade your channel..by uploading which are not actually meme, but it entertains the Audience.. Take an example: Playing Autumn leaves in The heavy metal style... By the way i actually don't like meme channels,i am actually interested in educational videos..

I know, man, I hear you. But it doesn't actually offer anything of substance. And so I don't want to stoop to that level. I will just keep on going with what I'm doing. I am glad you enjoy the educational content =)

[@damienfaust8732]

Your speed is excellent yet your fret hand fingers are pretty high. Do you have any advice/tips on keeping the fret hand lower to the strings?

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

My playing is gradually getting tighter in terms of fretting hand height. And it's by consciously focusing on it during practice. Watching the fretting hand diligently.

[@bobu5213]

How did you get that kind of sustain on your sound?

[@saadshah7857]

Probably a compressor. Also, gain will squish (compress) your signal a bit as well.

[@samuelrinconn]

hey man I got a question. When I try to hammer on on the 10th fret it won’t sound as loud as I want it too, any advice? Or something that I can do to make it sound louder

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

Before you even attempt any troubleshooting you must make sure your strings are nice and low. You can't effectively do this technique with high strings. Most guitars have high strings, that's why I am mentioning it. Statistically you will be a player with high strings.

[@runningwithscissors0911]

Thank YOU!

Awesome, your as good as, if not better than Tony McAlpine, great stuff

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

Oh man I am not worthy!

[@theorncampbell4432]

Thanks for taking the time to create this video. I could never figure out why my tapping licks sound so bad when I try to incorporate string skipping. The sea saw exercise taught me that I was pulling off when I should have been hammering! I've got one question about the exercise. When you are making your way back down the arpeggio and tap onto the 16th fret of the high B string. Do you tap only the 16th fret or do you put your fret hand in position on the 13th fret at the same time as the tap on the 16th fret? Tapping just the 16th then trying to pull off to an unfretted note is problematic for me. Cheers!

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

Hello =) Your fretting hand does need to jump ahead in anticipation ready for the tapped note to do its pulloff. If I am understanding you correctly?

[@theorncampbell4432]

Alfred Potter Guitar thanks! I noticed it a bit more clearly in lesson 2. I'm doing that lesson at a painful 100bpm quarter notes. It's a bit more difficult on the way back down with the fret hand muting. I'm trying to write some riffs by tapping out chord progressions. There are no good videos on the process. You'd get a lot of views for that.

[@jimmyjernigan9642]

WOW just WOW. Thank you sir.

@@AlfredPotterGuitar I thought strings altitude is individual for everyone. Didn't know mine are too high ty

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

Sorry, I should have clarified. You need to have low strings for lead guitar. This is especially true for tapping. You can't have most of the tapping motion's force being wasted on pressing the string all the way to the fret. The string needs to be so low that fretting takes very little force.

[@ZanDaMan_]

I can't do them on any string besides high E 😕 I pull down way too much when I do tapping so it makes it hard between strings

[@AlfredPotterGuitar]

At least you know what the problem is. Most guitarists don't know why they encounter trouble =)

[@jonathansargent8787]

Friendly advice. Ensure your hand is perpendicular with your fret board. Keeping that wrist posture will help significantly. Remember that you dont need to push the strings to the wood of the fretboard. Just light touching. Finally look at your string guage. It may be too thin but if you work on hand posture and touching the frets lighter you will be on the tight track:)
