WhyISuckAtGuitar.com - Reducing Fretting Hand Tension - Part 3

[@jamesrobinson529]

Undoing over 30 years of bad habits is one hell of an ego destroyer. But by using this method, I am noticing great improvement in lessening tension.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

so glad I found this as I can undo the bad 2 months of tension easier than 30 years of bad habits

[@zenermaniac2571]

How are you getting that smooth distortion and sustain? What pedals and amp? In other words, how to emulate your sound? I’m new.

I will admit it is a bit disheartening to play slow, but I have something that give me some perspective. Check out the band Sunn O))). There are a bunch of videos of them playing live and many of their albums are up as well. They play extremely slow, and yet they have a huge cult following, myself included.So compared to them, when I'm playing at 30-40 bpm, I'm blazing fast. Thank you for the video and coaching. Hope to see more postings soon. Cheers from Brooklyn.

It's the prelude from the third cello suite. The key on guitar is A major. I've got my own transcription. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

[@Whyisuckatguitar]

Have you checked out my most recent video on the "Other Fingers Method"? I cover this specifically.

[@kenwilson5627]

What i find very different here is your thumb position in these three videos. Many or most recommend the thumb behind the middle finger which is very different than you and would produce lots of hand tension.

[@stephjans6411]

is it possible to give us the tablatures for those exercises?

[@francoistremblay7525]

sériously you should have mention to play that with a clean tone and a metronome and no distortion which i beleive is the best way
