Thank you mate.

[@slown3w]

12:39 I know there are no set rules nor right or wrong on how to pick and in what order (down/up) but why would you pick the last note of lick #4 up, since you anyway go down? Wouldnt it be easier just go with downstroke as a "sweep" since that's where you are anyway going next (high e string)

[@petemusgrove7422]

Having taught piano, I know the power of SLOW practise. Playing extremely slowly with a metronome is not as easy as people assume and imho it's possibly the most powerful practise method - start slow and the speed will come naturally. Don't practise mistakes - play slowly and don't increase speed until you stop making mistakes. Excellent video - anyone *can* play anything if they're determined and stick with it.

[@peterheinzelmann3335]

I agree but only to a certain degree. I played the guitar for over 20 years and I never learned to play really fast. Of course there were times when I practiced more, sometimes less. Since 1-2 years I am really working play fast solos and it truly helps. For some people it might work without specific training, for some it doesn't.

[@petemusgrove7422]

@@petemusgrove7422 Maybe it works for the piano and some other instruments. But for the guitar, I put it with this analogy: Running isn't fast walking.

I would have to say that this is definitely one of the better lessons I've seen. No unnecessary unexplained wanking going on here, only demonstrations of what was explained in detail. Straight to the point. I didn't need to go back and watch it at half speed, I wrote it all down, started practicing it, and walked away hopeful and not discouraged.

[@adamwuksta3255]

Hi Adrian, came back for a refresher after watching about 5 months ago. Wasn’t really using many hammer ons and pull offs in my playing, mainly picking every note. Found these licks quite difficult to begin with but just kept plugging away until the speed just naturally increased. I found that once I could get one of these licks up to speed any subsequent patterns were fairly easy to master. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and techniques it has been of great benefit to me.

While I absolutely agree with your opening statements about most shred guitar, that lick at the beginning had lots of soul. Don't know how this is the first time I've had one of your vids show up in my recommended list but your personality got you a sub before the lesson even started.

Well this is a way of exposing Kirk Hammett 🤣

[@amoneyshredder9513]

Pretty much, it’s not 10 licks , it’s one ....

[@EarthAltar]

Ha! Kirk stole them from Michael Schenker and Tony Iommi. This type of thing can be found all over early Sabbath and UFO solos, and was really a way bring the heaviness that Hendrix started. Albeit without his groove. The trick is to not make it sound like an exercise. Check out the outro solo on Robin Trower's "Too Rolling Stoned" for the proper way to employ this technique.

[@camaro5spd]

Hahaha yup add the wah and fuzz

[@Wargasm644]

Thanks for demonstrating the starting and ending pick positions. Too many lessons omit this critical piece of the puzzle . They focus on everything left hand and make very little mention of picking patterns. I know this can be somewhat subjective. But it’s nice to have a common starting point or reference. Update: the reason I mention the picking patterns is because it’s my Achilles heal. I play with a reverse attack . So I naturally start everything with an upstroke. For example, playing lick#1 is simple for me up to speed using inside picking. But when I play it the way it’s instructed( downstroke first) it’s like I just picked up the guitar as a beginner. So why don’t I just play it fast using my technique? Well, because most solos are written by guitarists that have a “normal” attack and hold the pick “normally”. While I can play this piece up to speed with no problem, transitioning to the next lick will create a speed bump in my flow. Of course I can dissect the next movement or lick and make it work with my awkward picking attack. But it will never be seamless until I change my pick attack and the way I hold my pick. A tough thing to do after years of being an oddball guitarist. When I write my own music, it’s not an issue at all. But learning other people’s music it has always been a slow and dreadful process. Mainly because most instructors don’t include right hand (or picking hand) mechanics. This has been a real eye opening experience for me. I have now identified my biggest issue. But being an old guy now, it’s a challenge that’s gonna be tough to overcome. Not impossible by any stretch. Just a real pain in the ass as it is very time consuming. But I think once I’ve mastered it, I’ll be pretty damn good🤘🏻

[@terrywitzu7874]

I never put much stock into playing fast, but always wanted to be smoother w/ swift licks. It's nice to mix it up and throw in some energy into your voicing's. Everything is achievable with patience. Some may find it amusing that it took me up to a month to learn Tom Petty's pull-offs at the end of American Girl (y'know climbing the high E?), but at this point it feels natural, and it's the end result that matters. Fellow slow-hand's - don't get discouraged. Everything that is new is hard at first, but through persistence it's always worth it. You're not just learning these licks, you're improving your all-around abilities as a player! Learning this "simple" exercise will open so many doorway's that you'll surprise yourself. :)

[@wickedlee664]

Yeah…I’ve played all my life and have been in bands and even made a few records. I can’t really play any of this “shredy” stuff. There’s guitar solos in most of my songs as well. I just always used more double stops and bends. I’m having fun with this stuff now though.

[@MrRoyobentoni]

Been playing for about four years. Nothing is easy. Like your channel.

[@markjackson7646]

Where have you been all my life? Adrian you’re perfect

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

Good teacher and concepts. His advice to start low and be precise and accurate and build into the speed is spot on. Drummers work on rudiments the same way slowly building speed accuracy. Then once you have it you can then use or adapt the lick as you see fit so it just becomes part.of your skill set. The same licks can be played slowly and tastefully.

Thanks for this, I'm just getting into some fast licks, and I appreciate the additional focus on the picking and the metronome suggestion. Not saying others don't focus on the picking, but so far most of the songs and ez leads that I've been learning online have just been focusing on the fretboard, so thanks again for this, super helpful!

[@rogerweafer2179]

Great lesson,this also teaches a great way to break out of the ONE measure lick mode into spreading the lick over TWO or MORE measures to give the listener more,but in a way, making YOU play less licks in the long run....so to speak. After all, with a few of these under your belt,you'll have something left to play in that SECOND song of the set!

[@jamesnocerino1787]

Hi, name is James and I am a classic rock / rhythm and blues, guitarist from the 60s, 70, I and not working any more, but have always been by the speed of many young guitar player’s I hear today. You have shown me the technique, and is much easier than it appears when watching the performance from a distance. So now that I found you and like the way you are approching with starting us out with easy licks, it is appreciated. My problem appears to be coordinating the right hand with the left is what I am having a problem with. I use to play surf music and double pick fast, but to synchronize the picking and the lick with my left hand has proven to be very difficult for me. Any suggestions for me on that note, other than go slow and gradually speed up?

[@dansteinbok7955]

When I first heard these licks, they sounded like they would be easier than the Face to Black outro. But in trying them out, they were actually more difficult than the Fade to Black outro lick, meaning that if you are looking for easy fast licks: Fade to Black outro lick.

[@fonagel]

Great video. Problem for me is that I always use my pinky when I solo in the lower frets to cover three frets (classic guitar approach). It's easy to use middle and ring finger from the 12th fret on to reach the third fret and get faster but I never reach that speed (so far) with the pinky....

[@siggyretburns7523]

I found that if you record yourself when you first start playing licks, or anything for that matter, and stash the recordings away, youll be glad you did. Most people after a while start thinking theyre not getting anywhere. They get discouraged, bummed out and the guitar starts collecting dust.. Thats when you pull out those recordings and match it to your progress. You will be amazed. (That is, if you practiced.)
