      @@BenHigginsOfficial - May I ask what pick you use? I know speed isn’t in the plectrum, but I’m still curious. I’ve been using a perfectly triangular pick made of … Delrin, maybe? … and of an undetermined gauge, but it feels really sturdy. I like it, but I may try finding a lighter-gauged one, so I can hold it more firmly without getting all jammed up in the strings.

    My wrist motion was very similar and I can now see how that dragged me down over the years but what is working for me now is pick on string - pushing through strings -accenting and breaking problem areas down to the smallest possible denominator - things I never thought of in the past until brought to light by Lord Higgy

    • @QuikdethDeviantart
      @QuikdethDeviantart Рік тому +19

      You may be digging too deep. His floyd rose guitar has a raised body beneath the picking area to prevent just this. But since 99.9% other electrics don’t have this feature, just practice “gliding” over the strings, don’t dig too deep… you’ll probably find there’s only one or two spots where you’re tripping up creating that delay. Create exercises for yourself around those spots, and you’ll overcome them in no time. And metronomes can be helpful, but bursting also needs to be practiced, going from 0-100 in a burst… try it!

    • @Charzilian

    I found this exact advice by Ben around 4 of 5 years ago, from some of his older videos. I'm telling you Ben this advice was life changing. Remember how you said to wiggle your picking hand in a sort of like hand shaking motion, and then turn that motion on its side and just try to get it as loose and fast as possible? In less than a week I was already nailing the exercise that I was working on. These days I can just shred away any alt picking licks that I want. Thanks a lot Ben!

    I was told by fancy guitarists for over a decade that I have incorrect strumming technique (it was once compared to skating mongo, which really made me nervous since I used to skate and skating mongo not only looks dumb as all hell but also puts a very hard cap on your abilities no matter how much you work it, which is a big problem if you’re like me and want continuous growth/improvement) , so I finally started really working on changing. A few years in, I finally strum “correctly”, only to find that the music I’ve always played (punk/garage/rockabilly/etc.) is full of guitarists who pick like I used to bc that’s the most practical or only possible way to play some kinds of styles.
    The lesson here is, don’t let the “right” way scare you out of YOUR way, bc your way may work better for you-unless someone tells you not to skate mongo, you should always listen then because they are right and you will always be wrong about everything in your life so long as you think it’s ok to push mongo.

    One thing to keep in mind is that if you choose the most easiest way of picking now, it might come to bite you back in the long run. I had to completely re-learn a new way of holding the pick after 10 years of playing, because the nerves in my hand started to get pinched time after time. Then I took a year to actually just focus on my picking and picking speed and I've gained some really nice results - now I feel that only thing that is holding me back is the ammount of practice I do.

    Deceptively good advice. When I was starting out I got in the habit of using a lot of thumb movement, even sometimes only using thumb movement to pick some notes, and this was always considered wrong technique. Then 15 years later I learn Malmsteen does it. If it works and it doesn't cause you injury, do it. And you can always learn another way later if you want or need to.

    What helped me most was doing short bursts of say 4 notes with a pause inbetween, and doing it rhythmically like a snare drum roll. instead of just a constant stream of notes. Then resting if when i started to tense up.When I got used to that I just upped the amount of notes that were in each group.
    Right hand muting can be applied to really focus on the attack of the note and also holding the pick at a slant to get a bit more bite or friction on the string helps .
    A big difficulty im still working on is jumping strings and syncing up the left hand.

    Well, my problem is that I can do trills (speed bursts) on one string, but have no idea how to apply this when picking different strings. This is where I'm truly stuck. Not only it is more complicated for the right hand, but also requires certain synchronization with the left hand. How to gradually come from tremoling on one string to actually playing fast phases is a mystery.

    Rely on hammer ons and pull offs and trust yourself is the best advice anyone can give truly. I’m still not the best myself but if you’ve made it that far on guitar you know about practice

    Personally, I found that picking from the wrist slows me down. However, if I hold my wrist still and move my whole forearm up and down (as he does in the video), I can pick much faster.
    Also, I found that twisting the pick slightly so it doesn't hit the string squarely (again, as he is doing in the video), speeds up my picking.

    Man I needed this. Been working on my triplet all night and I’ve been worried about how fast I can do them vs how I shouldn’t worry about it at all.

    That's why I've gone back to holding the pick like I did as a beginner. Feels the most natural, "proper technique" be damned.

  • @soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342

    Just go for it. Try! Even if you think it sounds off or bad or whatever. Keep at it. It will shape itself into something you love and others will love eventually.

    Dude, as simple as this video is. It totally changed my ability to pick fast in I’m not even joking.. 5minutes. I can actually pick fast now that I’m not worried about how my wrist is moving.

    For me there are a couple of things to understand about fast picking: first obvious, the way you pick fast is not the same motion when you pick slow...so, like the big Mr. Lane said with that sweet little angel voice he had, practice slow, AND fast, even if you can't make it sound good. The thing is that you have to be aware that you are sounding ugly so you can perfection it. Cause if you think you already are picking fast and good, you will never get to the right point.
    And the other thing for me is, no matter the grip or the kind of way that you hold the pick, you have to do it with firm on the fingers and loose on the rest of the arm (starting with the wrist). For me, it worked so much, and i think are the basics for picking technique. Cheers!
