So awesome. Just ordered your book. Been playing for 35yrs and this will be a fun project to renew my guitar playing!

[@TseliosG1]

Matt is a guitar beast!

[@HelloSpyMyLie]

That guitar has some sustain!

[@violaobrasileiro]

Great explanation and also great technique. Thank you!

[@benkim2016]

Wow none of my teachers showed me this tech. Thx!

[@marcoberini5020]

That’s a loooong saddle! I guess for adjusting with humidity, tension, strings changes and such... good idea!

[@georgesmith345]

That's awesome (-: I'll be checking that out soon 🎸✌️🤘👍

[@dharmaguitar]

His book has it all, read it a few years back. Highly recommended. I bought a few for friends in the UK. I also use pim, mip and ipm.

That was lovely.

Amazing technique and musicality! Thanks Matt and Strings By Mail. Just got your book today in the mail. I too have a question about using rest strokes or free strokes with this technique. It's hard to tell, but from the video it appears that free strokes are used ascending and rest strokes descending, though I may easily be wrong about this. I'm also not clear on the "frest stroke" as mentioned in the book. Any additional info on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Also, as mentioned earlier, it does appear that the thumb is on the third string while the first and second strings are played. And it's just in the air while the 6th string is played.

NICE!!!

[@tr3ndkiller]

Hey Matt, thanks for the video lesson! It helps a lot to see the technique performed at a slower tempo. In the book I think you say that you play rest-strokes but as far as I can tell from watching this video, your fingers look curled up like you're playing free strokes. Do mind clarifying if you let the fingers rest on the adjacent string (where the thumb is positioned)?

Nice!!!

novo conceito a ter em conta

[@samlee2562]

I wonder how much he still shreds heavy metal :)

[@danjonesguitarist]

Hi Matt, firstly, congratulations on a wonderful video. I am a classical player but I play a lot of jazz too. I've been into the 3nps technique for years and I can also play tremolo so putting the two together should be straight-forward. I was wondering if your book has detail for nail shape? I'm almost tempted to play off the 'wrong' side of the nail. Thanks for posting.

[@baldassarreiarussi6729]

Why did you choose the "ami" combinaton and not the most instinctive "ima" when ascending scales?

[@nomore2001]

My guess is ami feels more natural if you do tremolo primarily with a pami pattern, but its probably subjective. I find ima quite difficult, but I want to aim for total dexterity and comfort with all permutations.

[@EricSkyeMusic]

Supercool! Matt, are you using the same "a ,m, i" technique if you were to, say, play an arpeggio or scale across all six strings that might have a mixture of one, or two, or three notes per string? Or have you worked out a large number of different scales in the three-note-per-string pattern?

[@MattPalmerGuitar]

Eric, I generally arrange all scales 3 notes per string. I also have worked out the combinations that work for other cases. Best way is 3nps & ami.

[@sargijapunk]

+Matt Palmer How do you arrange scales through 3+ octaves (for example E-major, A-major) from 1st to 12th fret, where number of notes does not go equal on multiple of 3, or generally runs where number of notes is not multiple of 3? How do you go crossings in those cases where you have to break 'ami' pattern?

[@MattPalmerGuitar]

+sargijapunk much depends on how many notes are on the initial string, and the string where the change of direction occurs. Pretty easy to work these out with the right information. There are entire chapters in my book that cover all these problems in detail.

[@musicavariada6975]

Maestro no llego a distinguir que dedos de la mano derecha emplea para Pulsar las cuerdas, usa Índice, Medio? o Índice, Anular?

[@damianlita430]

Yo creo que llega a tocar con 3 en un momento, la técnica de 2 dedos es muy característica de flamenco pero en clásico en visto usar 3 muchas veces, de todos modos tiene una técnica magistral

[@macleod41069]

Is this free or rest stroke?

[@benkim2016]

Free

[@theprogwalrus7564]
