No more WEAK FRETTING Hand!! (w/ Exercises)

[@montythemetalman]

You know the lesson is gonna be good when the teacher can do the technique while talking lmao!! Pure skill on display.

[@jwade848]

Dude i really think you were meant to be a teacher. You're approach to lessons really resonate with people along side with your pleasantly sounding voice haha no homo but this channel should be blowing up. Keep up the good work my friend!

[@firmans12]

Finally a videos for left hand. Most of youtuber seems to care more for picking hands

[@DaTLMusic]

I dont see fingers being curled mentioned enough when good technique is being discussed. One of the most helpful things i ever implemented. There are some exceptions like partial barres (especially in DADGAD) where your index finger is holding down the lowest three strings and nothing else but for the most part avoiding the bent backwards finger is SUPER helpful

[@Morganhain]

I kid you not i was doing these hammer on/pull exercises today and i started at 100bpm, ended up at 165/170bpm. For me thats insane! I usually get messy around 145bpm, but kept working on it, resting for a bit, working. This video seriously helped me understand how to improve, THANK YOU!!

[@gavinbrooks100]

Let’s goo!!! Great job! I love to hear that! Keep going! You’ll get stronger and stronger 🔥🔥🔥

[@darkonation]

This guy is FANTASTIC! Really like your videos homie. You have really helped me focus on my playing. I used to just jam all the stuff I know how to do fairly easily, but never took the time to actually sit down and understand what I'm doing and why. Videos like this help me take my playing to another level. I've never been able to play like I can now. Its an amazing feeling to know you've put in the time and work, then finally, it all pays off. 🎸

[@Aresmusic.official]

Wow! You're sharing some incredibly valuable information man! Thanks a ton!

[@enigma1247]

Dude...please do more long form videos. Please. Your the best

[@joerivera9106]

This guy is a Master of Guitar 🎸. This is so awesome. Please do the Angerty Video Game Nerdt theme. Please. It would make my day.

[@joerivera9106]

I wish I could do it myself. 😢

[@gregdemeterband]

The specific string grip is the MAIN aspect, for control....If you are not comfortable holding ALL the Strings at the same time, you will lack strength and ability to direct your fingers to FEEL the strings properly and move around comfortably. Also, there are specific PETTERNS in phrasing that are easier that others...that help CONNECT all the notes and scales you need for any type of shredding techniques.

[@lizardspawnofdeath]

I just discovered this guy's channel and am loving it. Sad to see he hasnt uploaded a new video for the last 6 months though. Where's he gone?

[@Deytrex]

He does alot of shorts now

[@trinerd]

Dude! This is a great lesson, really helped me break through a 100 bpm 16th notes plateau.

[@MrSmokeingood]

You’re one of the best teachers out there, the way you explain things is so simple and effective. We need more!!

[@AnujPoudel017]

This has proved to be, hands down, the best technique lesson for my guitar playing till date. 🔥🔥

[@hustonmann452]

I like how you stress the fundamentals dude. For self taught players like me, we’ve wasted so much time of not getting better because we didn’t have someone to show us the -correct way to make progress! Thanks dude!

[@robertkennedy5753]

What an amazing tutorial, thanks!

[@sk_lxr2920]

man, you're amazing. I love the way you explain things, and your tips are SO useful. thank you so much, really.

[@chriscook6828]

Great teacher! You make things very clear and easy to understand.

[@Olyxes]

Amazing! Please do more of this format!

[@wackojacko3962]

I really like the horizontal movement through the scale. Sounds awesome! 🙂

[@darthkang_]

Great video, really helpful!

[@oscarl2178]

Thanks Gavin

[@davidgerescher5527]

Excellent video! Excellent teaching!

[@MacMedaDestructionCo]

Totally relevant info. I’m on it. Thanks much

[@chcotydf1]

Thank you so much!

[@chrisculley3756]

Yeah I'm going to have to fire down on some other comments man you're f****** phenomenal teacher. You have a great demeanor explain things perfectly f****** a lot of guys out there and play and you can f****** play for sure. But they don't have a clue how to teach you definitely have a gift at it. RLTW 3/75

[@RikJSmith]

Thanks for the Lesson , Dude . Hope you're doing well . 🎸

[@gavinbrooks100]

Cheers Rik! Same to you!

[@MrJessterr]

Could you talk about flying pinky finger? Awesome content, thank you!

[@m3tal.]

Amazing video. Wasnt able to play even close to this before and now i can do it slowly, this video was not a waste of time at all thank you bro 🔥

[@nejou]

Wow

[@pippinisawesome52]

Hi! I’m a fiddler so my left hand is really fast. Still have things I need to work on, chiefly getting my strength back, so this is helpful! Where I really *really* need help with is my right hand! It needs to catch up! Think you could make a video about how to get your right hand faster? That would be so helpful (just like this one was!)

[@pendragon3434]

Really appreciate this, a rare easy to understand and exceptionally useful guitar tutorial on this topic on this platform. Random question but are you double jointed? I ask only because I'm double jointed and keeping my ring/pinky fingers curled can be a real challenge for me sometimes, both those fingers have the annoying tendency to lock up in that double jointed position and definitely not in the ideal curled position. Was wondering if you have experienced this (if you're double jointed of course but I'm fairly certain you are based on your fingers lol)

[@bentenpeterson]

Great video man. You explain this very well and with pretty simple words. New subscriber here. Keep up the good work!😎🤘

[@gavinbrooks100]

Thank you Ben!!

[@Nameless-iz3ko]

The "underside" works for me on higher strings. I struggled with solely relying upon the curled fingers. Smart use of both techniques can work quite well imo. Paul Gilbert also uses synthesis of both I guess.

[@massimodezio4506]

Hello Gavin good morning. Terrific stuff: very clearly and logically explained, Compliments! Would you mind to answer a question? Do you have a sistematic process to establish when it is time to go on from what you are practicing today to new stuff (basically pure technique)? My problem : I cannot normally bring my studies to the bpm speed i want to because it would last forever, and of course I have also to integrate new material in my routine. What are the signs you notice (or the process you use) to put that particular thing to the side (and maybe revisit it in the future?) and bring in new stuff to learn? i hope this make some sense :D Thank you in advance and keep rockin´! maxx

[@wackojacko3962]

Do you use exclusively Index Ring and Pinky? How about 3NPS combining Pentatonic box shapes? Like box-5 and box-1 of E Pentatonic pull-offs on high E & B strings. You know,...15P.O.12 P.O.10.

[@menandermenandros5532]

I have been a self taught guitarist for years, tried a few lessons and had teachers tell me things like I wasnt pressing down hard enough to get good pull-offs. Never sat right with me so I canceled. Simply realizing the pull-offs as pulling down and not off is incredible. Learning this would have saved me hours and hours of wasted play. Thank you so much!

[@HXD90]

They should be called pull downs honestly

[@TonyBurke100]

Playing electric guitar alone will weaken your fretting hand so we must pick up our acoustic guitar as often as we can. I know because it happened to me. Now I've got to go through the process of getting my left hand strong as it should be. A dreadnought with 0012 - 0053 gauge strings will do it.

[@maddypuneetofficial]

what should be the position of thumb behind ????

[@BradC604]

When pulling off things like the B and G string, are you muting the lower strings with the index finger, I find myself hitting the high e or just any lower string than the pull off string

[@gavinbrooks100]

Yes! Basically always muting the higher strings with my index, but also try to minimize hitting the other strings with your pulls as much as possible.

[@Tylerchaz]

Hey Gavin i just subbed. I was just wondering why my notes sound not clear and kinda thick? i just started and am kinda struggling lol

[@Cyber_Chriis]

The thing I’m not sure when thinking about „pulling down“ on pull-offs. Sure. On the high-E this works just fine, but how do I pull down on like the lower-E without hitting another note? :/

[@jordanw1649]

is this more for electric guitar like the pulloff technique? i have acoustic i think im in wrong place lol

[@dirbikejon1820]

Bit off topic but I'm pretty new to guitar. But my fret hand at the top of my frets begins to become sore( not my fingers). But in the middle on my palm But only above 5ish. Personally I think it's not good circulation in my fret hand. Any suggestions? Thanks love the videos

[@maddypuneetofficial]

How to keep thumb behind ???

[@snitel7149]

You make awesome tutorials. Right now im trying to play "tears in tge Rain" by Joe Satriani using alternate picking. Best wishes ❤🍀

[@WillCrawford0]

If you fingerpick it, it's a little easier to get the timing even.

[@drwoah7242]

Hey man this video is fucking nutty, thanks a ton ive been searching for an answer on learning how to shred and shit and everything have been, do this, heres the tabs, practice, watch my 400 note sweep pick, buy my lesson But ur like, heres the minor scale, heres how to shred, les fuckin get it I do got a question tho How u get ur guitar to be so quiet, when im doin this all my other strings are going nuts, tips?

[@robertcryderman6119]

Hey Gavin how do I get ahold of u for some guitar lessons.

[@madlobz]

Thanks for the videos! What pick and string gauge do you use?

[@TheRealxVincent]

Not gonna lie, I do be messing up with my index finger. I'm used to playing barre chords and drop tuned one finger power chords a lot, so it's kinda handy tbh 😂

[@cat_4664]

Are you CasualTF2?

[@HXD90]

Just teach me how to play soothsayer that’s all I want

[@naegleriafowleri2230]

my problem is the opposite my picking hand lags across strings

[@BrandonBone18]

Wish you made more KZbin videos

[@AbeE1theG]

I have a question, my pinky cracks and pops when using it sometimes when doing lead licks or exercises. Does this mean my left hand isn't that strong and i have to strengthen my left hand pinky by doing guitar exercises? I noticed that my right hand pinky doesn't crack when i do the same movement. But again my right hand is stronger.

[@AbeE1theG]

????🥺

[@AbeE1theG]

??????

[@RazanIsMe]

I suffer from a really weak fretting hand

[@bysykler4959]

Absolutely zero artwork on your walls…. Except ONE fish. 😂 Why?

[@Phobia115]

The ART is in his lap producing sweet sounds!🤟

[@bysykler4959]

Ok, sure. You’re right. But why the FISH??!! 😂😂😂

[@EyesSewnShut]

Bro when you curled your pinky but nothing else that's crazy
