Thanks for the lesson my playing has been changing. Getting more clear and fluent in arpeggios and sweep picking 👍🏼

[@jorgemontufar7186]

you're the best guitar instructor!

[@Danumurti18]

It works! Damn all this time I thought that perpendicular is the only correct way

Full Metal Jacket guitar method!

Extremely helpful video. Great instructions with lots of meat and potatoes. Some just talk to much...but you walk us through exceptionally well!

[@kalelxchugchug9469]

Itwas very in formative as well as anazingly effective.ive already gain a lot of incredible results in a month by just following your videos.i hope you do a video about eliminating string noise everytime i raise my freting finger on every note.parlicularly on string 1,2,3(ebg)..thanks.more power to you!Godbless

[@michelsen2297]

Excellent. Thank you.

A big ah ha moment for me here. Have been caught in the classical grip for a while and found it slows me down when trying legato.Will try this.Have you any small tweaks regarding descending lines over the 6 strings with the pinky leading?My pinky tends to curl too much and is inconsistent when trying these,but i have no problems when ascending the same lines.Thanks for these great vids will check your course out.

Thanks a million!!!!

I realize I think I was forcing the perpendicular hand position sometimes

[@carl_anderson9315]

Satrini and EVH use that position almost all the time.

Thanks for this, Mike. Just a quick suggestion, it would be more convenient for us if we didn’t have to continuously enter our name and e-mail every time we request to view one of your videos. One sign-up should be sufficient. Just some feedback from a user! Thanks again.

[@DavidRavenMoon]

This is how I’ve always played. Probably even a little more slanted. I see videos of people playing with perfectly perpendicular fingers and I can’t understand why they do that.

[@hermanodejesus7264]

PERFECT👌🏽

[@Swift016]

What in the fresh hell is up with John's index finger (6:44)? It's almost completely on its side half the time. I'm a bass player so I haven't studied him closely (love DT though), so I've never noticed this quirk in his technique. Is this a thing that some guitar players do? I play a 6 string fan-fretted bass and I REALLY struggle with finger positioning on the low frets on the low strings. I wonder if this technique would help, but it looks bizarre.

[@hellowave4546]

What Ibanez is it?

[@TheN8w]

Looks like an rgt42. I think I have the same exact one, but without the active pups or actual fr trem.
