Hey, just a heads up this Patreon link isn't working. I think it's because the guitar emoji is attached to it. When I click the link it shows a "Not Found" page and the emoji is there in the URL bar :)
@@lancemc9298 Thanks! Just fixed it 👍😁

You are my favourite guitar instructor.

No lie, man. I have tremendous respect for the fact that you are filming yourself making mistakes during practice. It not only illustrates your point, not only shows your viewers that it's okay to mess up, but also takes a lot of humility to make yourself the example. I appreciate you, Jamie. Love of Christ is coming your way.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Great lesson. I also found that a tip from tomshreds which I don't see many guitar teacher speak on is how hard you push down on the strings. A light touch is key to speed as tension is the enemy of speed.
Your emphasis on switching between slow, accuracy-based practice and fast, get outside your comfort level practice is I think really key here. It's what will most likely lead to speed gains that are clean in the long run.
What an amazing lesson! Thank you.
Thanks for the lesson Jamie !
Thank you for the lesson. I really needed this.
I’ve been playing over 30 years and no matter what I’ve tried, pick slanting, resting my picking hand, lifting my picking hand, metronome, etc…..I’m still stuck in second gear. Truly frustrating.
I had this same problem too. Playing a long time and couldn’t get any faster. I found an easy and fun way to overcome it.
I had to disconnect my brain! It was getting in my way. I know it sounds really funny to say (and to read).
It’s really more of retraining the brain.
I was stuck in a rut overthinking. The connection between my brain, ears, eyes and hands was slowing down my playing.
Here’s the easy way to do it:
You’ll need to repeatedly play with headphones on. Turn on a movie that you really want to watch. Turn on the closed captions and read the movie while you practice riffs, licks and play songs. Play for entire movie. It might take a few months of this, but you WILL be able to break that plateau like this.
What I, and the several others who have used this method have found, is that you won’t need your eyes to be watching the neck while you play and your hands will just start doing exactly what you need them to do. In no time you’ll be shredding the neck at the fastest possible speed that your muscles and nerves can manage.
@@genespliced Thank you, I’ll give it a shot!
This sounds like something I do. I practice with a 500mS or greater delay, mix at 100% so my original notes don't come through the amp, only the echo. Turn the TV up loud enough to not hear the guitar acoustically so I only hear that delay from the amp. When I can't hear the parts that I stumble on while executing them, they are clean, meaning the delayed part is perfect.
I think that not knowing (hearing) that the tricky part is "now" makes me not aware of it and play smoothly right through it.
The trick is then to do thus without delay and loud TV. Maybe try for a few months like you suggested!!!
I'm always stuck in second gear.
It also hasn't been my day, week, my month, or even my year.
@@user-ri5fe7ti6i Ha!! That’s a good one! Who knew “Friends” were all frustrated guitar hacks?!?
Great analogies, I never thought of it in those terms. Nice job!
Excellent!
Thanks Jamie, spot on. I've been practicing that same run. Boy do I have alot of work ahead.
Awesome advice (JR) 🤘
Thanks for the advice! Sick guitar!
Thanks! :)
thanks for the video
The best advice: pushing your hands out of comfort zone❤🙏
finally a youtuber who is insanely clean but also shows mistakes!
When you show descending part, you do smaller phrase. That's looks like chunking (kinda speed burst) - the method that really works🤘🏼
I love this excersise, I have been living off it since it came out. It would help a lot for the more beginners if we had pov footage to see how your fingers move on the fretboard because I've been struggling moving between strings
Aside from the doing the chromatic scale are there any other patterns you found to be useful to implement into this practice session.
It’s important to have variety! I use a chromatic exercise as a simple example that most people have probably tried. But I would do the same thing with scales, sequences, lines from solos, anything you’re trying to get faster with!
Martin Miller also spoke about this here: ua-cam.com/video/6Ft6p6dqWWY/v-deo.html. TL;DR: the way you play at speed, when you can't control every single finger, is completely different from when you play slow. You issue bundles of motor commands and only can sync at every N-th note, rather than issuing individual motor commands and synchronizing every note. Therefore you can't learn to play fast by practicing slowly. You do have to do both, actually, but to play fast you have to go fast. To play fast at a certain tempo you have to go past that tempo so that the target tempo feels "easy" afterwards. Drummers do this too: they routinely practice at +10-20 percent BPM so that normal BPM feels easy.
I really want to learn under you
The computer background shifted to the hill and I kept watching for the jumpscare
Best guitarist on UA-cam most likely
I know exactly why you're the only guitar player ive subbed
there is a big 7th string on this guitar wich screams: "hit me! hit me man!"😂
I know when I'm working on a new drum pattern, I'll speed up and slow down as I'm doing it; that's just because I might like it better at another BPM!
I kind of like doing a couple measures of 8th notes and then a couple measures of 16th notes with a pattern. What do you think of this approach?
I believe there's a limit and you are it.
One of the things I always find to be a struggle is remembering a piece of music or exercise when at speed. Of course, if it's something relatively sequential or straight forward from a theoretical point of view, it could be more of a technique issue at high speeds, but remembering a piece is an uphill struggle as well. But the "brain/memory" thing I often find to be a hill to overcome as well - I might be able to play a piece at say 80% of the speed, but pushing it beyond that I feel like I start to forget what's coming up next in the piece, as I have to think faster as well.Perhaps then that's just a matter of burning a piece to memory enough times slowly though...
The thing with this is that practicing speed and learning a piece is totally different, you will never have trouble remembering what's next at speed if the tempo is below your limit, maybe the song is above your level and you need to work on your chops first and come back later, it is not that you have to think faster is more that your body is too stressed trying to keep up and therefore there is not enough compute power left to actually remember the song.
I been practicing for so long thinking i could use the same slow alternative picking motion, and eventually i would be able to use it at whatever speed i want. Fail. Ive realised you have to have that fast wrist twitch for speed attack, and its a complete different technique.
yes...
Love this, im tired of people parroting the old "to get faster practice really slow with gradual increments of 2 BPM", slow practice has its place but if you need speed this is the way to go.
Hmmmm.... let's all watch how fast u can play?...zzzzzzz
Don’t forget to subscribe! 😁
Maybe keep your fingers nearer to the fingerboard?..not lift them as high?..just saying
