Jacksnax: Directional Picking & The Hexatonic Scale! The Secret to the EJ/Bonamassa Sound

[@JohnC-zm2qo]

@ the 7.00 mark, is when what Ive been searching for came together for me !! Therefore : SUBSCRIBED !!! awesome !!!!!

[@josephvega3763]

Great lesson and super fuckin great playing and tone

[@drewcunningham2]

That opening was stellar!! - great lesson also!!

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Thanks!!!

[@robertiola88]

Took me a few minutes to realize you were referring to rotating your right hand. Makes sense. Great sound and playing.

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Yep…that’s a big part of this speedy style. Knowing the pickstroke will be the same for the duration of the line enables you to go much faster.

[@JesseDanielSmith]

Great lesson homie! Thank you for sharing

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

My pleasure!

[@rh310]

Sounding great as always, Jack.

That's gold, man! Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Brazil!

[@RayDGoodwin]

Pretty darn clean man. Nice job.

[@sinister4lyf]

Very interesting tutorial! Love how you hold and execute your pick hand. Can you pls show us how you hold and slant your pick to play as clean as that.

[@kimbeadle5752]

Thank you, this is a really helpful lesson. Your playing is so clear and articulate.

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Thanks for the kind words! Playing slow and smooth is the key to clean technique. Take it easy until it’s super smooth.

Eric has made a 40 year career with this 1 lick

[@jeremiahlong222]

“Wankerey” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@alexchng]

Such clean technique. Magnificent playing. I can only hope to be half as good with twice the practice

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Play it slow and perfect for a LONG time

[@alexchng]

@@jacksnax4guitar460 thanks for the tip! You've earned a subscriber! I think I suffer from some kind of ADHD so I find it difficult to stay on task during practice. I enjoy noodling and playing the same junk over and over again. Cheers!

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

@@alexchng well…just play NEW stuff over and over! Then learn another new thing and play that over and over. I’m kind of nutty about this stuff too…I’ll run a line over and over again until it’s perfect. Then forget it and bring it out when it’s time.

Jack, just youtube stumbled onto your lessons. Great stuff. Do you do Zoom lessons?

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Yes I do! Jack_Devine at hotmail dot com Just shoot me and email and we’ll discuss.

[@underdogstudios9332]

awesome lesson, how do you make that 7:59 E note sound like that? cheers

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

It’s a harmonic. The side of my thumb hit the D string immediately following the pick and the string sounds an octave, or another overtone higher...depending on where you pick relative to the fretted note. Also called a pinch harmonic... Thanks for checking the lesson out, I hope you’ll subscribe and come back often! Jack

[@gnawbabygnaw]

Don’t let “downward pick slanting” escape ya folks. There’s a reason it’s the first thing this cat said. Went by pretty quick. Huge for speed. Thanks for the inspiration. Holyyyy sh!t and the Tone is Cool. 🤙🤙

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Boom!

[@darrenmuso2621]

Which direction do I tilt wrist??

[@rz0svp]

great tone! What Kemper profile are you using?

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

That’s the Victory profile that comes with the unit. I think it’s patterned off “The Earl”

[@alward5678]

Love this video and lesson. Great playing as well. Please tell me what Brand of delay are you using? Thanks Jack,.

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

It’s just the onboard delay in the Kemper Probably a simulation of an echoplex

[@aizmor2600]

There are words printer in the flow of the lesson..You play fast..Teach on a level which speaks to Old timers on a couch as well as all levels. Play guitar = play = FUN, RELAXED, no self judgement. Which is appeal to a non prideful player. What the words in the video say is oxymoronic to your presentation.But , Genius . Thank you…

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Which words does this pertain to?

[@elvisdolera6182]

Very nice tutorial but we need a tab to practice and copy your finger movements.

[@joshua0226]

What kind of strings do you use? I’m curious what type and if your action is low or high

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

Hi! I use EB slinkys on my strays and Gibsons. Or super slinkys on my Tele and shreddy guitars. Medium action… not super low at all.

[@alextaylor9186]

Hey Jack, thanks for the lesson, very clarifying. Great playing and fantastic tone. Just your voice is little too quiet in comparison to the guitar...

[@jacksnax4guitar460]

I agree! This was done before I figured out how to get the balance right. I appreciate the feedback!
