Pay attention when he messes up. He's finding the finger transitions that are difficult or gave him trouble and redoing them in the moment until he smooths it out before he continues. It's important to practice CORRECTLY, there's no point in playing the easy parts over and over again at speed if those aren't the parts that are giving you trouble.

YES! That is so important.

Probably something about these recent videos allegating fakery on some guitarists? And he probably made this video for that reason too.

[@yanechiko552]

Wow he plays so smoothly yet he is tapping those strings really hard! Also it looks like a secret to such accurate playing is to practice without amp. That is biggest lesson I've got today.

[@yobrethren]

I watched a little while that there's basically 3 ways to train songs and playing with amp, it's clean, barely driven, and audibly distorted and overdriven to the point where you have to actively shut the eff down your guitar (strings, bg noise and others) so it doesn't sound as bad as it could. It practises your speed, accuracy and on-the-scene playing skills respectively so you train a lot more than just strumming/tapping/picking in quieteness. It's all personal preference though, and i also think that Ichika's unplugged training here has a place, it helps you sound better without any special effects, and trains your ears a little more i think

[@yosapgg3306]

i love how he just says hi guys and thats it

Bruh there's been so much outrage about fake ig guitarists, some of them, are actually fake, but I don't think this guy is

The reason people assume stuff is fake is because often guitarists will record their audio and video seperately. So despite being able to play it, their hands dont sync up with their playing and it looks weird. Some of ichikas old videos are like this.

Not that hard actually, try playing arpeggios with your right hand while muting the strings. At first your fingers may not know where to go, but try that for like an hour a day for a week or two. And be strict with yourself to actually do that for an hour. You'll find yourself being able to do that quite quickly
