And when you play Jazz, playing fast is even more intellectually stimulating as you articulate the changes. Coltrane was a shredder and no one doubts his spiritual journey with music, that was like his thing.

Just another skill in the tool box. Bringing it all together in the right song and making it work is the most important skill

"There are different kinds of feelings." Damn wish I said it long time ago when a guy, who was definitely beginner level even though he'd been playing for 10+ years, talked too much about feelings/soul in soloing. I love Gilmour (the epitome of feelings/soulful solos) and massive fan of Yngwie (the epitome of million notes per second soulless solos). I never care what other people like. I don't have to like what they like, they don't need to hate what I like.

Dude has a point! Technique can't hurt you if you're spending an equal amount of time listening and transcribing what you like.

But for real I don't understand why fast playing gets a bad rap when it comes to guitar, I don't see the same complaints with piano and violin music, why is this?

I think it's that there isn't really an equivalent meme of shitty players trying to shred popular 80s songs in Guitar Center for other instruments.
@apolloniusoftyana7049 Жыл бұрын
"why is this" I think its because the piano and violin pieces are fast and musical. Most of Shred (not all) guitar playing is playing fast just for the sake of playing fast.
@DaleFoleyGuitar Жыл бұрын
@@apolloniusoftyana7049 that doesn't make sense, violin and piano aren't inherently "fast and musical", as illustrated in the video "shred" has practical application, it isn't shred just for shred sake. If violin and piano are somehow "fast and musical" then what are the attributes that differ between those instruments and guitar that make it so?

Completely agree. A shredder can play Gilmour, but feely players often can't shred

There are ton of other channels dedicated to composition on youtube. Focusing on technique allows you to actually play those compositions. There are great players like Mark Knofler and David Gilmore and BB King that never plays fast, but the majority of the best players like Steve Vai, Satriani, Eric Johnson ect. do play fast as well. Guitar technique takes a lot of time to develop that's why it's so important to focus your time on. Ear training too is useful.

It all depends what style you want to play. It's like the olympics and there's a variety of events. All the athletes have some claim to health, passion for sport, and a competitive spirit. But the track runner doesn't go bulge up like the weight lifter. Some sports require more overall skills, while others require more specialized skills. But it doesn't hurt to be faster, stronger, within an acceptable margin of return for your time and efforts given your personal goals.

For example, Steve Vai and Kiko Laureio are super fast and at the same time very expressive players. Listen "For the Love of God" and tell me there are no "feelings"... *especially* those fast runs in the middle of the song... pure emotion.

I don't think there's anything "wrong" with fast guitar playing. With the car or motorbike you like to step on the gas, but not always... In my opinion, speed is a building block of solo guitar. There are of course many others and the aim is (for me) to put these elements in a balanced context. Mike is a speed specialist and in my opinion the best coach I've ever worked with and no, I don't get paid for that statement...

I can play 16ths cleanly and accurately at 180-90 bpm (plateau) - and it feels comfortable for the most part. Forget to relax the abs sometimes. Even so after 5 minutes of this I get bored. However, I totally agree with the Bugatti and getting dumped metaphors.

One of the best guitarist who plays with feel and emotion is Mateus Asato. People who says playing fast is not music, just go and watch his daily warmup and technical exercises and then come here.

I don't know how "feel" became equated with "playing slow". Carlos Santana is one of the best "feel" players ever. He plays a single note and you know its him. But he also has fast sections in his playing. And that's not to say that everyone needs to be able to play blazing fast, but you want to avoid the scenario where there's something you want to play, but don't have the chops to do it. You need good enough technique to play the music that you want to.

Look, it's really simple. Every guitar player, bass player , sax player, trumpet player, it's simple. Every player learns techniques so they can express themselves. It doesn't matter if they play fast or with slow hand feel. What matters is self expression.

You know I think allot of it has to do with the equipment itself.. I honk most of the shred guitars themselves sound terrible. The high output ceramic magnet pickups that are in most of them sound awful to my ear. I think if it’s guy we’re shredding on a set of low output PAF’s or paf style humbuckers somewhere in the 7 output area it sounds allot more musical and by extension has more “Feeling” to my ear. Those thin wide necks with massive frets are jut dont have enough wood to them to sound good. They feel like a toy guitar to me. It’s like a Bugatti like this guy said but sometimes they sound like one and that’s not musical to me. So I agree with this guy’s point that technique and feeling are not at all mutually exclude at all there’s tons of players with both.

He was asking because when you say "play fast", you demonstrate the fastest cleanest speed in the world, which sounds great. But when you say "play with feeling", you demonstrate the worst, mechanical, boring vibrato in the world. Curiously, same for Tom Hess, he would better not play vibrato at all. (all to my personal taste and opinion of course). So a reasonable person who feels that way will ask the question - does practicing playing fast actually kills the ability to play with feel, where feel in my understanding not yours. P.S. it is not intended to offend, amazing content where related to speed and optimal playing technique.

The speed vs. feel argument is so damn stupid, it could only occur to guitarists. Go tell a classical violinist or pianist that there is no feel in showpieces. Guitar players are truly stuck in some strange patterns of thought.

How do you teach someone to play with feel? That is literally impossible. Close you eyes and lift your head when you bend a note? Make an 0rgasmic face while you are at it? I feel like people who complain about no feel just don't want to put in the work to get better technique.

Speed is just a TOOL. By itself it is NOT musical. its only cool until you can do it. I dont understand why drummers and guitarists, are OBSESSED with playing fast...it does not make you a great player, it just makes you FAST. THERE is much more besides speed that makes a great player. Its like someone who can rhyme words is somehow an ARTIST? I understand you like playing fast, and you are good at it, but frankly it bores the shit out of me. Strictly my opinion, and i'm sure all the millennial wanna be's love it. KEEP up the good work...Pedal to the floor!!!!

An idea that is too old, no one listen shreders and if you listen todays music, shreder are extinct and a waste of time cause producers and plugins are more valuable in today's music. Also, Malsteem and majority of shreders don't have musical resources like dinamics, chords of 4 different notes, harmonics, different rhythms patterns, different harmonic structures, disonances, etc. A musical piece needs to be rich, not being a piece of sixteenth notes. And paganini is trash compared with chopin and mozart who is simple in his way to play
