Here's how you do it. You practice...a lot! If you're not willing to put in the time, it will never happen. You have to practice and you have to practice several different techniques that encompass alternate picking...once again...a lot!!!
I love the look of the fret markers, phillips head screws, well yeah the lesson is awesome too!
I gotta get the Pozidriv version of that fretboard :D
Great teacher !
Always good to be reminded of this stuff
Very helpful! This is the first thing my teacher wants me to work on besides chords believe it or not.
Good Stuff Steve! Thank you! :D
Thank you! I thought the goal was alternate picking- thanks for opening my mind to understand that many pickings patterns serve various needs. Love the way you teach! 👏🏼
Steve. I've learned so much form your videos I really appreciate what you do..
Great stuff Steve!
I've just started practicing downwards pick slanting to alternate pick towards and away from the strings instead of picking inside of the strings and getting stuck when you wanna make a clean string change. Totally opened a new door for me and my speed and accuracy is improving on a weekly (actually daily) basis. I'd highly recommend looking this technique up. Pick slanting (not edge picking that's something different)
I think you've helped me solve my swishy sound problem. I've definitely been over exaggerating the angle. Thanks!
Hi Steve!! Greetings from Norway, thanks to you- i’m for the first time starting to really get fast at picking with control. Actually an hour after I watch this, a new world open up for me. There are much to work on, but a big spark lighted up here. Many Thanks for this video lesson, as always first class teaching 😁🤘🤘

Lovely
Just starting to learn to use pick. Never needed one when I played acoustic, but finally realised it would be useful for my electric! This lesson will really help. Thanks Steve, as always!
Same. For acoustic I always played finger style or used my thumb for a few licks. But now I’m trying to learn some solos on my electric and I need alt picking
I thought it was interesting about the stiffing up your muscles part, it doesn't only make your guitar playing harder, a lot of other general activities are also affected by this.
It's hard to loosen up once it has become a bad habit, but it's great to hear the issue being adressed by a professional.
Steve Stine is one of the very best teachers on the entire Internet!! Steve knows his shit !!

What 3 emg's are you using? best guitar teacher i have come across. Thank you, and i'll be buying lessons from your site soon.
Good video. Do you have a video on how to utilize a scale and create all sorts of licks from it? I think the technique is called phrasing.
You highlighted a point that I have always noticed about myself. My upstrokes sound completely different to my downstrokes. My downs sound really nice and smooth and my ups are very bitey/louder definition and scratchy. Im trying to work on my pick angle now as we speak, but its really hard to tell my brain (stop holding the pick the way you have been the last 10 years!) I think I developed this bad habit from years of just playing metallica/hetfield style, everything downpicked. Its my own fault really, I should have broadened my musical horizons when I first picked the thing up, but back then, it was all about impressing my friends with puppets or fight fire with fire!
Airtrooper719 XBL i get you bro.. thank god i focused more on Megadeth and Dave Mustaine which is much much much more complex still needed year and a half to really get into Dave's picking style
Fight fire with fire is speed picked so up & down strokes
I've never used a pick, so I'm stuffed! But I still love watching Steve's lessons, as there is so I can and so learn from him - he's the best!!
My alternate picking is so terrible and is extremely limiting for my playing. The biggest problem I've identified is my upstroke is very choppy and uneven. It's very ingrained into my muscle memory from my early years of all downstroke thrash metal riffing and copying Dimebag's lead style (lots of legato). Also my thumb and pointer fingers move a lot when trying to alternate pick. It's pretty accurate for lead playing but not conducive to a strong, aggressive rhythm pick attack. My left hand is years ahead of my right hand development. So damn frustrating.
Chris Peterson I have always alternate picked from day one but i can't downpick at speed to save my life. Goes to show practice gets ingrained
Chris Peterson I guess quick tips: use jazz 3 picks, use very small movements at all times the heaviness of your picking comes by how hard you grip the pick. Also check out a guy called Troy Grady who literally has PHD in alternate picking methods
That's why they say to focus on your right hand from the onset...
Chris Peterson just keep working on it and you got it man! You got this. If you practice hard you can get there in no time. That’s what I’m trying to do too! Wish good luck on ur journey man! It’s been 3 years and would love to hear a response :)$
@@loo524 I have trouble alternate picking it drives me crazy it's my weakness
Huge help man. I've been putting off alternating picking.Its been 5years
Don't expect too much. It has to be learned young, otherwise the brain and the muscles are not plastic enough.
What's the guitar model called? I love it! Great lesson.
Cool
I was thinking good after playing guitar for 49 years. You're pretty much who you are and that's the way you swing the hammer.
Go with your strong points.
I probably still wont learn how to alternate pick but this video was still very helpful, unlike most youtube guitar instruction vids
i notice that, great finger drill.
how about economy picking? I naturally will play with economy unless i strictly force myself to focus on alternate.. . i learned mostly economy since i started... is alternate something i need to focus on and re train my brain?
Sir which is the best choise Boss GT 100 OR POD LINE 6 HD 500X
what angle are u holding the pick? up or down?
I used to play guitar, gonna pick it back up, I had no idea up picking was called alternate picking, just thought it came natural, or it was used when playing a lick thats too fast to only down pick. Never really had to practice it..it was kind of always just there
tq.malaysia.
Chuck shuldiner is literally the alternate picking god
I've noticed I have a major problem doing the death grip on the neck. I don't know how to break myself of it.
Whats the best way to hold the pick for fast alternate picking thats also easy to switch strings with? Not necasarilly trempicking. But im just wondering what the best way to hold it is for. Alternate picking...in general
I've just started practicing downwards pick slanting to alternate pick towards and away from the strings instead of picking inside of the strings and getting stuck when you wanna make a clean string change. Totally opened a new door for me and my speed and accuracy is improving on a weekly (actually daily) basis. I'd highly recommend looking this technique up. Pick slanting (not edge picking that's something different)
Shred on Mc shredder....... finally somebody who knows what picking actually is and it's not economy or easy picking its (alternate picking!!!)
Thanks for watching! :-)

I once had problems playing fast and found a solution on my own. After watching this video I have to say that my alternate picking is sick as fuck.
This guy is a fantastic teacher. Bottom line.
My problem while alternate picking is, hitting the wrong strings and sometimes, getting stuck while picking and thus ruining the flow. Any way to overcome this problem or exercise?

I cant alt pick slow enough for my left hand, i try but my right just speeds up to coponsate for the choppiness of the slow alt picking leaving my left or fretting hand in the dust and ive spent the last two years trying to get around this but cant. I even quit for a year once when i got so discouraged
Dalton Pearson How long have you been playing?
This is why I do not advocate alternate picking for people who have been playing for many years. It can be counter-productive.
i used to do the downpicking only but now i am getting used to with alternatepicking and i wanna play blues with downpicking only why i cant do that ? :'(
He is palm muting.
My pick gets stuck on the strings when I do upstroke picking. How do I fix this?
Try to play slower I guess'
*GET A NEW PICK*. Older ones will get ridges in the sides of them if you use them a lot
Raven de Leon Don't forget to angle the pick to extent
Alternate picking has to be learned when you are young. How old are you?
You may want to try a Dunlop Stubby pick 2.0. They are small with a sharp point for one thing which makes for a good attack on the string. Secondly, the best way to hold it would be to just expose the very tip of it between your thumb and index finger. You won't "dig" into the strings and only the very point will make contact making it easier to do
Is that a Ibanez Jem90Ham
It's the Ibanez Jem 7DBK Textured Black (1999)
Steve
Im like this close to mastering 240 bpm
Thanks for watching! :-)

That’s one sexy Ibanez Jem
Do you teach "circle picking"?
I have met many good guitar players who can't alternate pick for anything. It seems so strange to me. From almost day one, even before I knew how to play notes, I picked up a guitar and alternate picked the hell out of it. It's like I was born to do just that. I'm not a good guitar player, for the most part, but I can alternate pick as fast as anyone on the planet.
try playing a solo with the alternate picking and hear how it sounds. If you're not good at guitar in the first place, you're probably doing it wrong.
My friend Jared in high school was similar. Instinctively started alt picking from day one. Being a big Metallica fan probably helped that inclination! Haha
From
2:14 that's the Paul Gilbert's way
It sure is!
If you get chased by a dog its probably better to have two legs..lol... :)
Damn, i started playing with no pick, just my fingers, and did that for 10 years, and now i am screwed, i have to start from scratch, from how to old a pick... :-(
I feel you man. I've been finger picking mostly for 2 years already since i play on an acoustic.
Dude talking about how master the alternate picking,but cant show actual alternate picking example,at least dome fast run
FIRST
I have been playing for 16 years and I can't alternate pick. My wrist is too stiff. It has to be learned when you are young.
I have been trying various techniques for years, slow, with a metronome, different ways of holding the pick and the wrist, but the harsh reality is that beyond a certain age/level of ingrained habit, it will be extraordinarily difficult
prohibitively so. Every classical music teacher knows this.
I cannot think of one virtuoso (or just a really good player), who did not start young and have access to the knowledge that is necessary for these kinds of advanced techniques.
I say this because I have seen some really good musicians torture themselves trying to achieve the unachievable, when they could have been playing in their style, with their voice, and expressing their musical vision in a way that nobody else could - not trying to impress with hard-to-master techniques.
If you are reasonably young and/or just starting out, go for it. If not, please keep your expectations within the realm of the realistic.
Advice from an old muso, take it or leave it.
Matt Gilbert that sounds weird, how old were you and how much experience did you have before you started practicing alternate picking. Because if you had played for a long time downstroke only, it will take really long to break that habit and make alternate work, but its not impossible, unless you.are like 70 years old
I disagree. As you get older, it is more difficult to learn new things due to force of habit and other issues. You also don't have the free time a youngster has to just sit and play and play and play. I completely disagree that you can't learn various techniques. You're mixing two things. Virtuoso players almost always start young.
That has nothing to do with the ability to learn a new technique.
Django Reinhardt was already a recorded guitarist at 18 when two of his fingers on his left hand were paralyzed from burns received in a fire. With two fingers and his thumb, he re-learned how to play (with no instructor) and went on to re-define Jazz guitar. All those super-fast runs and clean playing were with *two* fingers on his left hand.
