One of the best guitar lessons I've seen so far ! Simple and to the point. No superfluous talk and absolutely goal-oriented. He tells you exactly what and why it should be done and what benefit this approach brings. Tom Hess is a totally professional guitar teacher Thank you Tom Hess👍

[@A20Y11]

Thanks for the lesson. Hand synchronization is definitely a critical element for growing speed.

[@rickrevoir1683]

Mr Hess . thank you so very much for your time and wisdom. You are a great teacher !!

[@valentinocimenti3340]

Excellent lesson as usual, thank you

[@jacebastian7192]

Most guitarists really do underestimate the importance of getting both hands perfectly in sync with each other. Thanks for the great reminder, Tom Hess!

[@tomhessmusiccorp]

Yes and my pleasure, Jace! :)

[@rickside9918]

Merci Tom pour les bons conseils. C'est apprécié. 🎸👍🎸

[@MARLONdaman]

WOW! He answered the big question after watching all these GUITAR videos!

[@tonymarchi727]

Got a feeling this is really gonna help. Makes logical sense.

[@tunefunds]

awesome lesson, so cool to see things explained in such basic and boiled down terms! super useful!

[@ziviaantjeverharius6165]

I haven't rrally played for 10 years Had been playing from 1980 11 years old but you open my eyes ears and mind. I find it interesting and plain logic. Where would I have been WITH internet back then. Who could tell me how Gilbert did it!!

[@paulaungiers8734]

Splendid video! Do have any videos teaching how to memorise guitar sheet music, so you have the routine for life, please?

[@CarloCabiling-p4b]

you have so many teacher

[@journeyman0001]

Thanks, Tom! This is perfect timing....lol, no pun intended. Makes perfect logic to lift in order to synchronize. Obviously, you won't do that for trills, but what about legato? How do you approach that?

[@jeffreymckeown]

By the way, it's me Jeffrey. I often come to your online courses.

[@yudipitre5720]

God Bless you. You are definitely 150% right. I don't have the hands synchronization yet.. Thank you

[@tomhessmusiccorp]

You are welcome, Yudi!

Hi Tom I was wondering if you and Mike could have a podcast 😀 or video on which way to hold the guitar pick is best I have been using your way and switching back and forth between the 2 methods I have never dropped a pick and both ways work for me ,I haven't played in 40 years and I am in week number 5 with a long journey left i just don't want to pick up a habit that could hurt my abilities down the road ,thanks Tom for all your free videos and suggestions it has helped a lot thanks.maybe theres people out there with the same issues as me deciding on what pick grip to stick with cause honestly both seem to work the pen grip method definitely gets me more playing time 🙃 the usual method does seem to give a little joint and muscle pain after a 45 min 🏃‍♂️ run but both seem to work 🤔 thanks again

[@adalbertusignatius4967]

Very interesting, I never thought about that 👍

[@tomhessmusiccorp]

Glad it was helpful, Adalbertus!

[@tgstk2]

great to see an updated version of this awesome lesson of yours! however it's 2 actions on the fretting hand , one finger on one finger off the frethand and 1 action is to pick.

[@SHENDOH]

My picking hand can't keep up with my fretting hand. I need to fix that..

[@jeffreymckeown]

I have already trying that for a view weeks. And I tell you, that you are absolutely right, but there is a negative side effect occurs. My fingers starting to move to far from the fretboard (or people call it flying fingers). Please solve my problem 🙏🙏

[@tomhessmusiccorp]

Hi Jeffrey, flying fingers is not a side effect, it's just a different problem that seems to happen for you. Check out my flying fingers video to fix it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5arhZh5gbNgqJI

[@stevedrake360]

Tom, do you use two-way pick slanting (Troy Grady method) when you go from one string to the other when you're not picking down-down or up-up? For example, do you use a downward pick slant when going from an upstroke on the D string to a downstroke on the G string? And then using an upward pick slant when going from a down stroke on the G string to an upstroke on the D string? Thanks!

[@tomhessmusiccorp]

Hi Steve. The term I use to describe what you are talking about is the pick tilt, not slant. When people hear the word slant, they often confuse that word with pick angle. I'm not saying that "you" are confused, I'm just making the point for others who may read this. To answer your question directly, no, I do not tilt my pick one way when ascending and a different way when descending.

@@tomhessmusiccorp Thanks for the clarification!
