Guitar technique progress (almost 3 years)

- Picking as fast as I can staying decently clean, and playing 7th arpeggios in E Minor. 2-1-2 arpeggios are nice to practice for economy picking.

Wow this is really great stuff! - you are not afraid of the exercises and necessary work to have control over the notes and articulation - you have awesome tools already :) As you develop your own unique voice on the instrument (and others) you won't have many technical limitations - you have been studying The Right Things :)
Thanks!
After watching some of your stuff, I might start uploading general practice to UA-cam too. I've been playing for about 11 years, but you've shown a lot more dedication than I have, which is probably why you're so much better than I am right now. Keep up the good work; you're an inspiration.
How you been playing for 3 years and shred this hard! Subbed
Thanks!
amazing!
Thank you deathmetalfan
That is so clean!!
Thanks!
congratulations man you improved very quickly in a short time
Thanks!
PINKY"S ARE FOR FOOLS FOO
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Literally.🤘
SLAYYYYYYYYYY KING, awesome fingering, YOUR SO TALENTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You too dude! Can't wait to do our Death Metal project!
Yeah, keep it up bro ❤❤❤❤
W progress
someone tell him he does have 5 fingers
Most people don’t use their thumbs.. so 4. And you only need 3 at a time for 3 note per string scales.
@@JacobGenestGuitar try playing without the thumb ;) and a racer x song with just the first three
I have never seen Paul Gilbert use his thumb for racer x
@@vladx3539 and I do still use my pinky, just not for things I don’t need it for. I use it for arpeggios and when I need to stretch my hand out more, i use pinky instead of ring finger
@@JacobGenestGuitar thats cos its behind the neck 😂
imagine 3 more
Well done. Next, incorporating the little finger. That will absolutely come back to bite you later otherwise. Keep up the good work.
Great. I'd suggest ditching the classical hand position now. The bigger muscles are involved when you use the so called blues position. Better control etc
Well it sure is cool to see you here man! Thank you for the tip!
Hey I like you’re shredding the only thing i noticed which is a downside is you’re not utilising you’re pinky as frequently as the other three fingers and I don’t mean any offence in any way shape or form but you would be able to hit a lot more further away notes utilising the forth finger on the fret board
Yeah there's like at least 50 comments on this channel about the pinky, no problem.
Hell yeah dude! Keep on shredding cant wait to see ya in another 3 years! Also i gotta say im so sorry that the guitar police/weirdos have found this video 😂😭
Lol yeah its alright, thanks🤣
noice to see ya here mate
If you’re saying you’ve only been playing for three years you have a very rare talent that would probably put you near world class players if you continue at this pace… in my opinion. Wow, I wish I could do this after only 3 years of playing!
Thanks a lot, I really hope I can get there lol, but there’s a long way to go!
@@JacobGenestGuitar Keep shredding! I wish I had youtube when I was first learning, such a great resource!
Careful of that wrist mate, try and keep the bend a bit less to avoid an injury.
Fantastic. Why you don’t use the little finger my friend?
Ringfinger and pinky finger have a common tendon or something. So playing scales with them together is often sloppy. Just use the pinky with index and ring-finger
Thanks!
I use my pinky finger usually for arpeggios, or when I’m on the lower point of the neck where it’s awkward to stretch your other fingers for things, since the frets are bigger.
how do you study? what do you practice?
My practice has always been improvising over a backing track for fun, but since I like to shred a lot, it’s basically technique practice since I’m doing it so much. I don’t really study the scale shapes, I kind of already have them down from improv. The arpeggios are harder. The reason improvising has helped me so much is because it benefits technique since I shred a lot during my improv, so I get cleaner, it helps me to pick better notes too, because when you make mistakes a lot, you start to fix them and pick more good notes.
Great progress,but learn how to use your pinky, it's a must.Just because it feels hard and uncomfortable doesn't mean you should avoid doing it
Yeah I just do a lot of 3 nps picking stuff where I don’t need it. I usually use my pinky’s for all arpeggios, and I switch my ring finger out for my pinky when the 3nps scale is on the side of the neck closer to the head of the guitar, since the frets are much bigger. But when I’m playing where the frets get smaller, my fingers get too crowded when I’m doing 3 notes per string patterns, especially when the patterns are so close together.
@@JacobGenestGuitar I recently started doing that three finger playing as well lol,I'm your total opposite I always use my pinky.But there are some licks that just require your technique.Just find a balance between both, that's the best way.by the way the synchro is a lot better when using that finger combination than using your pinky.I realized that when I first learned yngwie's triplets one string pattern
@@JacobGenestGuitar also an advice, don't listen to internet trolls,that want to elevate their self worth by bringing your playing down,like that dude who said he can do this better than you although he played for 10 months, anybody can learn to sweep pick and shred in just 10 months.Don't let such comments discourage you.he's just salty
@neoclassicalfanatic8416 yeah there’s quite a few people who comment and try to seem like they’re better, but I’m aware that they most likely aren’t since most of them haven’t uploaded a video, even after I asked them to upload one to show their “amazing playing”, lol.
what kind of monster practice routine are you sniffing?
Improvising over backing tracks, and sometimes just going up and down scales and arpeggios over it. Sometimes going over those without. Lots of shredding all the time.
which guitar is this?
BC Rich Warlock Extreme with Floyd rose, Black Onyx
What guitar is that?

Economic picking?
I use economy for my 2-1-2 arpeggios, which is 2 on 1 string, 1 on the next, then 2 again on the last, which is shown here with the 7th arpeggios. I use economy on all of my descending scale runs too. It definitely allows me to go faster without worrying about my fretting and picking hand line up.
I've Been looking at the S for years now and though I'm sure my neck-hand is fast enough and I understand the concepts of economy picking, pick slanting. and all that, I still don't get it. I can only watch one hand at the time so I watch the picking one which is doing the S I don't understand. You came up under one, went down on the next under it, and then down on the next under that one. That's three F-ing hits so you're supposed to get 9 notes out of that ? One to three notes a strike ? It's always hammered on triads too ? What's that 2-1-2 mean ? Is that a string striking pattern or two notes on one sting, one on the next, and then two more on the one after that ? What's really going on here ? LOL Gimmie the skinny man cause I am confused as F ! I don't quite understand the objective, what I'm supposed to be trying to do.
2-1-2 is just a pattern for 7th arpeggios. So for example, 2 on the E string, 1 on the A string, 2 on the D string, etc. all the other stuff like pick slanting, I’m not sure about as I don’t ever look at the pick slanting.
I think everything I did should have been economy picking, every note picked.
Gotcha. I hit, one note: 7th arpeggio strike pattern. I saw some Russian guy demo-ing that in slow-mo I think; but I didn't really know what it was at the time. I'll look more into those 7th arpggeios and see how I can get on with them. Thanks for getting back with me so soon on that man.
hey man as a guy who’s been playing for 10 months and can already do all of this fairly more clean, i’m not bragging i’d just rather constructively criticize nice tone tho btw, im planning on going to AIMM in atlanta for guitar concentration i can sweep pick legato well anything rlly only thing u got me on is economy picking never learned that yet, i really do think u should use ur pinky a lot more!!!! it would help a lot man i see it hanging off and not close, however me and u are the same in one aspect we love the guitar techniques it’s wonderful it’s an amazing instrument!!!
also ur thumb on ur pick looks a bit cruised the closed hand thumb should be a little like how do i say this an upward hill while urs is hitchhiking a curve the knuckle should bend up that one change leaves way more control don’t hold the pick so hard!!! but this can be maybe because ur pick is super small i like using 1.5 pretty decent sized ones not like jazz pick level tinyness sorta like a dunlop size
Yeah everyone says I gotta use the pinky. I use it mainly for when I need to do a stretch for the bigger frets and arpeggios. Cool that you’re going to music school, and that just in 10 months you can do better. I’d definitely like to see some videos from you, 10 months and that much progress is unheard of. Thanks for the tips too!
Also how much do you practice everyday? I’m wondering if that might be why, I only spend about an hour or twoeach day, some days I don’t even play at all.
@@JacobGenestGuitar lol dude i’m tossing in like 4-5 but also i do go to high school and im in jazz band and also regular band where my band director lets me play guitar etc during jazz band its an experience (ik how to read sheet music etc) but not on guitar like i have no knowledge big knowledge of chord theory, cause yk in band as a sax ur not playing a chord u might be a note in a chord with ur bandmates being the other notes to form it but u urself can’t make it like a piano etc
if you can't economy pick and you're just legatoing this kinda stuff, I wouldn't say you're doing it more clean dude. There are huge number of 3nps runs here where he's picking every note which pretty much requires economy picking or 2-way pickslanting. This playing is good by any standard, let alone a dude who's only played for 3 years - I'd love to see your attempt at similar licks.
and no small finger ? lol!
Yeah I use it mostly for arpeggios and on scales with bigger frets
with ur playing i recommend u stop using all ur fingers
@@deathmetalfan LOL THAT SO TRUE!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@JacobGenestGuitar good if it work for you, my guitar teacher show me a strict way to use my fingers for scales, so I am use to take my little finger a lot, I had also a diagram for that which was something like 1-2-4 or 1-34 or 12-4 etc 4 is the little finger always,anyway good job!
Thanks!
3 years and still no pinky smdh
Yeah I really don’t know how to use my pinky. Maybe you could post a video of you playing guitar with your pinky, so I can watch and learn! Let me know once you’ve posted so I can watch.
@@JacobGenestGuitar Start playing barre chords with your pinky, the reason it feels awkward is because your pinky has no reason to have any strength to it, and thats a super easy way to just passively build strength and dexterity in it. Alexi Laiho is who i picked that up from. Heres a link so you can see how hes doing it. ua-cam.com/video/n7FgjfcKuuo/v-deo.html
youre a good guitarist, but youd be a monster with your whole hand and having like 4 more frets of reach.
imagine how much better you could shred if you involved your pinky.
About 1 finger
