Are you only putting the accent on the the E note on the low E string wouldn't it be Accents on the 12th fret B string and the low E on the low E string?

[@OzzGuitar]

@@satchrules101 Hey, what do you mean double picked notes?

[@satchrules101]

@@OzzGuitar I mean like when i'm playing 3 notes or 2 notes per string down up down up ...i always seen to land on down when i suppose to land on a up stroke or vice versa ... but its going by pretty fast ..its hard to see the mistake ... but its annoying .. i'm getting a lot better at fixing this problem... do u know why this happens?

Ok, now this has to be one of the really best videos on picking on the internet - superb !

[@beyondinfinity3876]

you are great teacher!

[@OzzGuitar]

🙏🙏🙏

[@tijntjeofive8219]

Thanks for the great lesson. The reason why people are not getting faster is mostly that they don't make small cirkels while picking with the wirst. They play up and down and with the arm and there is no way you can go faster then 190 bpm, even if you practice your whole life. You not see it are small cirkels when making very small motions, but this is the most important thing I ever found out to build speed almost endless .

[@gr8guitarplayer]

When my students get stuck at 190 16th notes, I say, "You're done. That's fast enough." lol Oh and, great stuff! Thank you. There's probably an old post of mine praising these tips also, because I keep coming back to you every time you post something on the Fractal forum.

[@brutalslam8443]

This was an excellent tutorial. Thank you. I'm going to trying out all of your suggestions. 👍

[@OzzGuitar]

Thank you!!!

[@MarkRhodesSongs]

I found this helpful. Especially the mention of playing with finger motion instead of wrist motion. I did both (without knowing it) and I think this is why I was inconsistent despite a lot of practice. Going with wrist motion (only) has also fixed the problem I had with the pick "turing around" in my hand while I played. I tried so many picks and grips but neither was the problem! (I'm back to using a Jazz III.) Thank you so much!

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

Yeah, I do that too and still haven't figured how to fix that. I mean, I tried locking all my fingers like Ozz, but then I feel uncomfortable and my hand feels pretty heavy and not so nimble as with my usual two finger grip...

[@MarkRhodesSongs]

@@Cthulhu_Awaken What made it all fall in place was changing my hand position. I used to anchor my hand on the bridge but now anchor with my wrist or forearm (near the wrist) on the face of the guitar above the strings between the pickups. Nothing magic about this. (I have big hands and a long arm.) But when I do this, it’s all wrist motion. 🤷‍♂️

Great tips! Starting with upstrokes (reverse) is a good way to solve inside-outside problems. You have some good student too. Have you found it challenging to maintain speed/clarity as you get older or even change guitars (I saw the Ibanez clip, it’s amazing)? Been playing for for 20 some years and some days I just don’t play as well as I wish. Thanks

[@downcode]

Hi Ozz, why do you say at 1:52 that you need to pick hard in order to improve / get faster? Is there any explanation for this? Thanks so much, this video is brilliant :)

[@OzzGuitar]

Sure guitar playing is like heavy lifting when you talk about speed so to improve your muscles you need to keep pushing your limits and increase the weights that you lift. As guitarists, we can pick harder, practice with thicker strings or practice with an acoustic guitar.

[@downcode]

​@@OzzGuitar Gotcha, I didn't consider that muscles need to be developed in the picking hand in order to play fast, interesting. My first though was that you suggested picking hard so that you can clearly hear your mistakes. Thanks so much !

Amazing video thanks ! ;) btw It seems like you keep your hand in the air and not resting on the strings am i right ? How do you mute the strings you don't play ? Have a good day !

[@OzzGuitar]

Nicolas Bernaerts Yes! Picking hand in the air but very close to the strings (1-2mm) and you will mute with your picking hand palm when it’s needed. Your fingering hand index finger will help to mute the strings below you playing.

[@nicolasbernaerts3646]

Thanks a lot ! I tried it but when i play on the high strings the lows make some noise really easily.. Do you use the inside of your hand ( below the thumb ) or the outside part to mute ? Thanks for your answers it help a lot !

Wait you change that Paul Gilbert lick to a down stroke on the high E string? That defeats the purpose of the exercise the picking is way easier?

Yes!!! and then I add string skipping to that exercise. If you watch whole lesson videos later on I advise practicing every exercise with reverse picking. So, you start learning from easy that's what I learn from 100s of students.

[@dashking5059]

Thanks for info... But i have been holding the pick in different way...not in traditional style...i usually hold the pick with my palm of thumb and somewhere between the palm and edge of index finger...will it affect my technique because i have been playing like this for many years and i can also some fast leads such as master of puppets kirk's solo, hangar 18 , etc. But i fail when i try to play malmsteem, petrucci and other fast guitarists

[@OzzGuitar]

First, you have to use your wrist that's why I usually lock my student's pick positions. So you can change your picking too it will take 2 weeks and you won't remember how you were holding the pick...
