[@manfrombritain6816]

legato is easy, tremolo is easy, but changing strings while doing tremolo, especially when doing odd number of strokes per string... that's where shit gets really hard. at least for me

[@Jackwoodguitar]

That's part of the point of this exercise Once you get this down just change the amount of notes per string make patterns using 5's & 7's etc You could also mix up different groupings on different strins!

economy picking helped me play faster so quickly with the odd strokes

Economy picking is what greatly helped me with flipping between notes at an extremely quick pace. It took me maybe a year to get comfortable doing it completely but now its fun to just sit there and flip through notes at a very brisk pace. I have taught it to many people and it has greatly helped them.

[@Jackwoodguitar]

I'm all for economy picking

You could throw in for a 'D' part, a picking pattern talked about by PG; alt pick the first 3 notes, legato the last three.

When I was like 10 I played Saxophone and practiced with a metronome. Few years later I stopped saxophone and started playing bass, lost the metronome and never got another, which was a gigantic mistake. I only started using clicks again a few years ago (in my 40s now) I never should have stopped. beautiful guitar btw.

Nice schecter atx! I got a white cream one from 2007

[@MarkyMark577]

So B & C to me sound exactly the same. But supposed to just for picking practice on the C? Sorry, prolly dumb question. I'm a rhythm guitar player (obviously lol)

[@Jackwoodguitar]

This is a copy and paste but should clear it up So B is legato which in the case means we're picking the first note (5th fret.) & Hammering onto the new two notes In C you pick every note out of the 5 7 8 x4 Repeate this through the scale & strings But yeah it's just the picking The idea is that you work on fast hand sync around the fretboard

[@GreenGenerationTV]

Broooo I want that Schecter ATX so bad. I want the 7 string one that the dude in The Afterimage uses in the Onyx playthrough

[@Jackwoodguitar]

They’re so sick mate I’d love a 7 🔥

[@horrorshowbass]

Whats C part again?😂 legato and then alt picking?

[@Jackwoodguitar]

It's the two together so you sync them up

[@HairyManlyMan]

ive tried for atleast 5 sec and was like nah, never

[@SaintsCheat]

I don’t think ANY guitarist struggles to play on a single string fast (of that is their goal) . It’s practical picking, as in switching strings when playing and not just one string. I guess this may help someone who just grabbed a guitar so I can’t be too critical

[@Lo-Fictions]

I have a maybe dumb question but how do you make the amp sound like that when doing the fast picking? mine just sounds like a super grainy guitar I’m not getting the metal sound

[@Jackwoodguitar]

A lot of the tone comes from how I’m picking A lot of muting is happening If you watch my hand basically never leaves a string unattended Then comes picking with an angle I just use a 5150 preset, Mesa cab emulation & a drive infront with fairly low gain overall

[@FoxyAnimatorEJ]

That sounds like a metal riff 2:03

[@timothygary1]

I don't quite understand the difference between B and C. What am I missing?

You just popped up on my recommendations algorithm. Can you make a video explaining in detail the muscles used to vibrato while holding a bend? Simple explanation: bend a note 1 whole step and vibrato while holding it. I want a video of this breaking down with an explanation of which exact muscles you're using please. I've been playing for over 20 years and still can't tell if it's in the finger or in the wrist or a combination of both. Thanks!

When I tremolo I have a problem with I sounding like I pick really hard no matter what I do

[@alfiesolomon3531]

What's the brand/model of your guitar? looks nice really

[@cremedelamemesupreme1649]

Why is it that no matter how much I practice, no matter how hard (or how little) I try, I always feel like the pick gets caught on the string inevitably throwing off the flow? I can pick a handful of notes cleanly and quickly but then it's like some microscopic jagged edge of the pick or something just gets hung in a very subtle way and the pickstroke is thrown all off which ruins the run. I've never ever been able to get over this and I've been playing for many many years. I get a little better sometimes but I never seem to conquer this one specific aspect and it always discourages me into getting burnt out because I see people like this just glide through the strings like butter. I guess my pickstrokes are just ultimately uneven and I don't know how to make them perfectly even and silky smooth. Some people say to slow down but holy shit have I spent a whole lot of time playing slowly. I feel like I'm way way beyond the stage of needing to play slowly.

I just want to play metallica but the chords overwhelm me ;-; it's not even the speed, 4 years of doing something similar and I can't muster the courage to learn a song

[@YOUCANTDOTHATONTELEVISION]

Don't let it overwhelm you at all bro. Most Metallica you can manage with just 2 fingers. I'm positive if you were to just see what they are doing you will see how easy it really is. Websites like songsterr make it easy to play along to a track and see the guitar tab. You can do it bro. Just have fun

[@Jackwoodguitar]

What song do you mean? They tend to use a ton of power chords

[@ronsin9490]

I’m curious what song(s) you’re specifically looking to learn. Knowing Metallica there are probably a handful of songs very close in riff style that are a bit easier than what you’re having struggles with that would help you ease the transition a little more. They utilize a lot of variations of the same structural ideas and there’s no shame in mastering something “easier” to anchor your confidence down.
