Here's Example 9A from my first book, "Neoclassic Speed Strategies".
The etudes in the last three chapters of the book combine the ascending, descending and single-string strategies covered earlier on.
I'm tuned down a half-step on this Japanese Yngwie Malmsteen strat.

This is the best instructional book on the market when it comes to speed picking - thanks so much Chris!
Thank you very much
My book arrived today...!!!😊 I'm psyched 😊
Excellent. Get to work!
I'm waiting for this book to arrive in my local post office 👌🙏
Excellent Chris 🤘🏻🕶🤘🏻🎸
This book just arrived today, excited to get into it! Been playing for a long time but have wanted to tighten up my picking hand for a while. This looked like a good place to start my journey into the neo-classical style. I'll check back in with you after I've had a few weeks to dedicate some time to it.
Excellent! Enjoy the material!
@@ChrisBrooksGuitar Wow. About a week into it. First night, I read it straight through, front to back, without picking up my guitar. With a good understanding of what's going on, I started playing through the exercises in chapter 1. Now I have a handle on what my picking hand is currently doing. I'll check back in a month or so, let you know how it's going Great job, Chris!
This book is amazing! I'm not sure if I've got much quicker yet, but it's got me paying serious attention to what I'm doing with my picking hand. I have so much more control over what I'm doing as opposed to my previous mechanical up-down-up-down that I've been doing for years now. Almost through it all now, but I think I'll likely just start over at the beginning and run through it all again!
Awesome to hear. Thanks for reporting back!
Still going strong! I spend about 25% of my overall practice time going over this book, the rest of my time is put toward other techniques, learning songs, writing, etc.
I'm still seeing gains from the time I spend with the book, and I do my best to spread the word. Thanks again, and keep it up!
Bought your 3 books compilation. Prob gonna take a year to master it all
Thank you!
Got the book along with your recent alternate picking book, brilliant mate 🤘
Awesome. Thank you very much. Hope they bring you lots of breakthroughs.
Amazing :)
Awesome
Chris, thoughts on the importance of pick slanting?
The pick slant itself is nought more than a visual indicator of what might be happening mechanically and in terms of escape path - but even then, not always. The important thing is to have escape/motion paths that support the maths of the lick being played. There are a couple of ways of doing this: 1. learning which motion and escape path works best with what sort of lick and refining the motions to serve the lick best or 2. Finding out what your optimum picking mechanic is and building vocabulary around that motion path. Yngwie is a textbook example of this, tooling almost every lick to suit his wrist/forearm motion and upward escape path. The pick slant doesn't make the picking possible, it merely indicates visually what might be the case mechanically. In his case, it's the fact that the wrist-forearm combination is optimised for upward escape string changes. Al diMeola is an example of someone with the opposite preference and a downward escaping wrist mechanic. Al's grip and wrist placement have a lot to do with this because it's oriented in a very different way to Yngwie.
There are players who use both escape paths more liberally, but a supposed two-way pick slant is not the obvious giveaway it seems, because then you have cross-picking that involves some wrist extension in alternating escape paths without requiring any change to the visual of the pick slant. There are plenty of players creating workarounds for their non-dominant escape path that don't involve flipping the angle of the pick every 3 notes. These include slight modifications to pick grip that setup leaving the string after downstrokes or upstrokes without any drastic change to pick slant, including secondary motions that support one's main picking mechanic - a get out of jail card every time your main way of playing isn't optimised for the maths of the lick, or adding flexion and extension of the wrist to the common deviation moves.
@@ChrisBrooksGuitar cheers Chris, bought your yng way lesson pack and am working on the pick slant presented in the video and my picking is getting a lot more accurate with less open string noise!
@@ziggybongwater7915 excellent! That's a good sign that you're on the right path!!
Hi Chris, ive bought your speed strategy collection, im a intermediate player but not when it comes to speed on my left hand. Even some of the early examples are tricky to me, so do i stay at the first exercises until i master them or will there be left hand drill exercises to improve speed later on? Im not sure how to approach improving enough to keep up with the book. Its great content though and really enjoying 🤘
Heya. Spend as much time as you need on the basics, but don't wait for mastery per se. You have to keep pushing ahead too. If the fretting hand in particular has trouble, like separating the notes or keeping them in sync, you might need the Speed and Coordination book to run alongside the other things you're working on.
Thanks Chris, appreciate the help 👍
I bought your book on Kindle , just trying to wrap my head around pick edge off set. I am left handed and believe I do DPO. and already use Outer edge. How can I know if im in the right position. I already use under 45 degrees.
The proof is in the doing so if you can escape the strings with the clearance you need, that's where confusion ends and the work begins. It's ok to use angles as a visual guide but the most important thing with that strategy is is the escape path of the pick i.e., where is it going? Is it leaving the string with lots of clearance to arrive at the next string or getting stuck between them? Is the picking motion itself nice and straight and logical or is u-shaped and inefficient? These are the things that will matter most during string changes.
Hi Chris,
I have ordered the book. Is the whole book based on Eb tuning? 🎸
I played the audio in standard because the publisher asked for it
@@ChrisBrooksGuitar Thank you for the quick reply! ..man, you're fast, haha! 🤩💨💨💨
Is there and video lesson with the book?
I already have a separate video course called The Yng Way.
End on 12, sickk
