I tried this with good results. I'd also add the following: After playing the phrase as loud as possible then play it as quiet as possible to build in the full dynamic range and grip requirements 👍🏻👍🏻

[@thanosp.8140]

Another excellent video! Your tips are among the very few online that actually get results.

[@TheManWithNoName686]

Amazing tutorial brother. This is illuminating, seriously

[@MarkBreton]

Dude, your videos are the absolute best guitar instructional videos on youtube. Hilarious and completely correct.

[@bllacklightt]

Thank you very much for these helpful tips!

[@leojosepila3005]

Honestly, of all the guitar tips, I only get instant result from the lessons you've uploaded. Thank God I found your channel.

[@arunkarthikma3121]

Yeah, this guy's thumb video literally allowed me to play all matter of chords and position changes, where it caused me pain and discomfort before

[@kefran2a]

it's good and gives freedom to learn new shapes and positions

[@thomask9577]

Great video and your production quality is much better (which I know is a pain to do). I will practice those tips.

[@suzinabxvcb]

love this new vid format

[@PeterScharf-vl4dd]

Great video really needed this to improve my speed thank you

[@DethMetalKicksAss]

Great video, thanks a lot!

[@chris5264]

Great suggestions.....all helpful. Thanks.

[@RFactor669]

Can’t wait to try those tests and see how I do. What a clear and logical way to gauge how I’m doing before trying to go faster and sounding like crap.

[@ankur7247]

Thank u bro I am following u for past 2 yr and finally I can say I have unlocked speed but have to practice more for complex fast licks❤...thank u

[@danzipori]

Awesome video Mike! 👏

[@HowToPracticeGuitar]

Thanks Dan!

[@PractitionerSeuss]

Hey Mike! I believe I had the pleasure of some 1 on 1 time with you while you were editing this. Excellent as always.

[@FlashyLight]

these videos are getting so much more funny!! 😂😂

[@Lucifurion]

Great video. Looking to get back into my Metal playing after years of having not played due to severe illness and this is exactly what I need to start getting my fluidity back. It’s amazing how much skill you can lose when you don’t practise or even just play regularly for a while.

[@H-TownAce]

Glad to hear you are doing better. Hope you are back shredding 🤘

[@5zazen]

Picking speed ive found is affected by pick width and how you pick in addition to how fast i can think. For example i can pick faster than i can anticipate what to play next. So if im doing alternate outside picking three notes per string the pick direction changes from string to string so i have to pay attention to timing as well as pick angle which affects the sound. Also the pick angles affect if i make mistakes in picking. For me using less force when i pick is the rule as when i play right handed, i can play left too, my picking is like a hammer so i focus on the tone quality and that varies too, say i use a 0.88, 1 or 1.6 mm pick they all sound and play very differently. I use the 1.6 if im trying to increase accuracy at speed and the thinner picks to see if what im doing with the heavier pick is accurate as thinner picks reveal picking inaccuracies easily. My main thing is how does it sound? The muscle stuff only fulfills my desire to practice so long. So mostly i find things that i want to sound nice then work technique stuff around that, always using strict alternate picking for arpeggios as well as scale sequences as ive found its easier to stay in time than economy directional picking. Ive done directional picking and ive found it feels akin to driving a car with no brakes, whereas with alternate picking the pick direction changes when using odd numbers of notes per string, even numbers say 2 or four it doesnt, but the pick direction is always consistent so i can focus on the music rather than the techniques.

[@deanpaul8478]

This is the best guitar video on youtube.

[@konzi]

greattips but the fast cut editing gives me a headache

[@shanhuang8912]

I have to say he can really really help you play fast

[@doobledoo]

Absolutely the best guitar teacher on youtube

[@mr.kiwisauce9580]

I basically start by only playing with my picking hand to get a hold of the tempo, I thought it would be a common practice

[@CustomTele52RI]

I would go back to work on getting SLOW 😎

[@sammydavis3796]

Tell me more

[@kingstonshotgunsports7456]

Where is that scale practice sheet/tab that I can download?

[@AnAntidisestablishmentarianist]

"How can less be more? It's impossible." Hard to argue with that logic.

[@user-jl2wd1it8h]

My name is Wang Peen Lo and our village really appreciated this video

[@hopesonhigh]

which metronome app are you using on this vid?

[@moutine]

Man i learned directionnal picking, but im worried, my brain can't do alternate anymore, which is okay anyway lol

[@Sebastian_Mroczek]

Had that problem, now I practice both. The reason is you will be playing things that simply don't use directional picking and will force you to alternate. Proof? Just play 2 note per string pentatonic scale, or "the one and only 1234 spider exercise" 😃

[@stonks693]

Thanks for the tips but it would have been helpful if you could give an example of how the exercise sounds

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

One of your best videos so far, Mike! I already knew some of these things before watching this video, but that’s probably because I had the natural tendency to do the correct thing without consciously realizing it until you pointed it out. But I also learned some new things here! Terrible tone, but excellent wisdom as always! …just like me, but with only some of the wisdom. EDIT: Why are you so mean to Greg 😢 he’s just trying his best…

[@someguy4505]

If I can just get one new idea from these kinds of videos that I'll put on while smoking a bowl, I figure it was worth my time watching it. His videos make me chuckle here and there :)

[@Matthew_Klepadlo]

@@someguy4505 A whole bowl? Are you sure you’re not a bass player 😏 (This post was made by the bass player gang)

[@ajadimebag1084]

I just need a electric guitar.

[@stefanfilipov7254]

The biggest problem is consistency. For example I can Nail some of the hardest Petrucci solos after not playing the guitar for some times at all, other times things are just not happening.... The only consistency there is, your body failing your mind again and again :)

[@shayntaylor8058]

What the FUCK. Thought this was bullshit click bait. Changed the way I was sitting and BAM I was hitting notes I always struggled to hit. Jesus I feel stupid. Thankyou!

[@jorgegv5077]

6:09 is the golden number 😄

Sir I’m sure u know this by now but ur arms look pretty nice can we get a workout routine. Man has some pythons

[@COTG666]

Use a stiff pick, hold it so only the tip is barely sticking out, and practice 4 hours a day, every day, for 10 years. Some people will be super shredders, most will be average, and some will end up playing blues.

[@cunjoz]

just record the video slow and speed it up in post lmao it's easy what are you talking about

[@Gamblegearbox]

Pretty awesome content hidden behind a clickbait style title, almost ignored it.

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

You look like the dad of the nurd Stevie T.

[@clemclemson9259]

why should this be illegal?

[@HowToPracticeGuitar]

Because all good things in life are either illegal, immoral or fattening.

[@mylogify]

This video should be illegal

[@HowToPracticeGuitar]

Yeh bro, that's why it's in the title bro

[@mylogify]

@@HowToPracticeGuitar yess watching the video now! Nice video! I am new to the channel 😀. Cheers

[@yesseru]

Not as illegal as the children in my basement who I force to practice 10 hours a day so I can create the next polyphia.

[@MakerTrends]

@@HowToPracticeGuitaryou actually put “getting fast THIS easily should be illegal, not, “this video should be illegal”. 😂 Very well explained video though, the best I’ve seen on speed picking.

Great stuff Mike! Thanks!

3 minutes into the video and i have learned nothing.
