So yeah Ben I probably commented enough on this post but this has been the most helpful one and especially free that you've given out. I know there's other exercises online about speed burst but this one really clicked with me. I inched up past 130 and then I decided to see if I could just tremelo a pick at 150 and I could so I guess I'm getting there thank you
@@blakegilliam8223 That's great, Blake - well done for putting in the work!
Im so much faster thanks to you. I can pick at 180 for 5+ mins constantly, bursting at 200-210; now am working on stroke consistency at the steady 180 and trying to go higher. Want to be able to play all the metallica solos and van halens eruption before i kick the bucket. Goals
That's brilliant!
Shaun Baxter and Shawn Lane have both mentioned this approach over the years, it's very effective as long as you can successfully determine the causes for your technique falling to bits at much higher temps, be that crossing strings with an upstroke whilst ascending or whatever the problem might be.
Good stuff :)
I can confirm that this bursts technique works. I remember 2 years ago when I started practicing the guitar again, that it brought me actually quite fast to do a few repetitions even at 200bpm with 16th notes. I'd highly recommend everyone to do this type of practice, both for right and left hand.
Thanks man, good to hear your experience with it
You are the personal trainer of guitar playing 😅
That's good to hear!
I'm on this, thanks Ben
Thanks Ben, great advice on using your time more effectively while keeping motivated
You're welcome, duder 👍
As simple as this exercise seem to be, it has really helped a lot. Thanks a lot Ben.
That's great, I'm pleased to hear that, Nikolaj!
@@BenHigginsOfficial gonna check out your picking course within a few days. Really encouraged by the progress. Actually allowed me to make massive gains on a Ben Eller exercise too instagram.com/p/CGiRbVBpMZs/?igshid=653e1tbafz6n
Could only get to 127 bpm and maintained 3 to 4 reps, actually felt awesome, long way to go though any progress is good
In so many areas of our lives leaving the comfort zone is seen as a good thing to develop our skills. For some reason, people have fear to say that when it comes to guitar playing! I had that fear too before knowing Mr. Badass (aka Master Higgy). I was convinced that the only way to get better guitar player was to play with as much perfection as possible all the time! Now, I Know that is a myth that is locking so many guitar players in the darkness! Thank you Master Higgy to teach us not only what to do but also how to do it! This is why epic guitar gains happen after watching your lessons and comments! Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words Sir Francisco! As you know, it's all about giving yourself permission to go into the ultra zone and claim those #GAINS!
I needed this. Tyvm 🤘
Awesome 👍👍🍩🍩
I totally agree with you. That is a great way and it is working for me.
Glad to hear it!
This has been one of the most helpful tips that I have learnt from you Ben. I think the time to recuperate and rest is very important for the hands at tempo's which you are not comfortable at. Fanstatic tip and it's something that I recommend to everyone. Thank you so much.
Growth happens only in the meristem! Got to stay in that zone
Good tip
The first exercise/riff is "Whistle While You Work" , for all you dwarfs out there.
You are so on to it here. Even Shawn Lane has said that he found it easier to learn a lick as fast as he could, but then ease off a little on the speed to tidy it up, or more accurately, he would first go super fast even if messy, and by sustained effort over time would maintain the speed but tidy up his playing to a clean technique. Your ideas take this a stage further by having the small bursts, etc, but you conclude or imply in this video, something I've always found a logical catch 22: what you spend the most time doing you'll absorb into the back of your mind and tend to reproduce when you perform ( so slow and plodding, like a scales exercise) but how do you find where your hands should be or feel, is probably only possible by going fast; BUT how can you get to go fast to feel the feel! Nearly impossible!? You come up with a good solution to that here, so good for you...this goes without saying but the longer I've played slowly the more I worry about the bad habits I' ve been getting away with at comfort zone level, because it stops me from finding the speed when I want it because I've repeated dunt-dunt-dunt so much both hands are atrophying and mentally programming me for a low bar in the speed playing. This approach may help me get over that catch 22 and start playing more than just a musical but sloppy playing style( O-OH! Too late that's how I play now) Guess I'll have to try something fast and tasteless ( I'm being serious here), as a way to advance my technique by means of a sneak attack, and shake up that thing you mention about freezing and being afraid of tension and taking a chance. My old friend Pete R. Used to say " take the drop, it can only go two ways, if you don't take a chance you'll never win". I'm starting to see a glimmer of hope after so many years of trying to make it simple and clean. Yee ha!(and thanks)
I want to go to the Ultra Zone where all the speed is
That intro music might very well be the most majestic thing I have ever heard on guitar. Is this something you wrote or is there a name for this song?
Sure, you can hear it here ua-cam.com/video/Wy8mEI4MyT0/v-deo.html
So does this mean that there's an area that is too awkward to play in and it's usually skipped by most players? Talking abkut BPM
+++++!!!!!
Do you feel weaker now you have short hair?
🎸 LoL !! 🎸
You can practice golf, hitting a baseball, bowling and alternate picking for a million years but without proper mechanics it's all a waste of time. Unlike other instruments where technique is job 1 (just watch Pianist magazine videos with Brad Fitch) guitarists want to believe that playing the guitar well is all about some mystical vibe. This is why so many kids quit taking guitar lessons; they can't execute the simplest physical techniques necessary to play the instrument. Ten year old piano students where I teach are killing it while adult guitar students can't make a Barre chord to save their lives. The mind set surrounding the guitar is pathetic. Everybody wants to be Randy Rhodes but few understand or want to develop the necessary control and mechanics. There is no magic exercise you can simply play a million times to be great. Great golfers have great coaches and they spend time analyzing and perfecting the smallest details in their stroke. Guitar teachers and students don't think that's cool...
How does one learn the proper technique and mechanics
