Taking a lesson ON STAGE?? A brave soul that one is.
3 minutes in and I just realized how long this dude's beard is😂
this is how pianists and classic guitarists have studied for almost 300 years, right hand and left hand
Vincenzo Marano that's true, and drummers as well, who also must practice independence of all four limbs.
That's what i thought! Pianist style.
better late than never
Banjo players do this as well, practice the picking hand independently ... a lot.
And still most guitarist fail to do it that way.
what's up the downvotes. i just practiced this for an hour and I've already noticed an improvement in speed.
Really? I think that tip was so amazing and I'll try it too
Does it work w any type of notes like if I playb blues licks
@@guilhermecruz951 pay attention to the video not the downvotes
Just lazy people who think they know it all, I guess.
Some people cannot be taught....or refuse to learn.
I know a few.
guess i need a higher processor for my brain
mine's slow
That is correct. I love how this master knows his stuff, only if more teachers understood their stuff like this man instead of blaming students for not studying enough. Sometimes it is just a matter of studying it in a better more efficient way. Following this channel from now on. Finally youtubes algorithm suggesting something awesome.
Just like Math..Math is not hard the way they teach you to learn math is the real problem..my grandpa didn't even go to school but the way he learned math on his own its amazing..he could do calculations on his mind so fast its was incredible
I struggled for over 2 years to build up speed playing the intro to tread the floods by trivium but i could never get past a certain speed. After about 10 minutes of practicing it this way I'm playing the riff faster than i ever have and my picking hand is really relaxed while doing it.
30 seconds in and I already had a breakthrough revelation about playing. I've played for 25 years. Good stuff.
I didn’t know Rob Halford played guitar
Don't even own a guitar but i can see he's sure of what he's talking about
Just discovered this guy today. I read a lot of trash about him on the internet (bad player, bad tone, snake oil salesman, overpriced, bad teacher, etc..) I've only watched a few free lessons on you tube so far, but they all had a clear, easy to understand and implement message that was somewhat unique to anything I'd seen or heard before. The lesson prices were actually less than lessons at my local store. So far, I'm impressed.
I'm a violin and a guitar player, and this man is completely accurate. The independence of the two sides of the brain is what accomplishes the most, because instead of messing everything, it's like having two brains each devoted to a different task.
Watched this two days ago and didn’t really think anything of it. Remembered it today and tried it and I now realize how the majority of my mistakes are coming from my pick hand, that my left hand inherently knows where to go. I don’t need to think about the fret hand nearly as much, I’m wasting my energy and focus. not only a speed tip, which it is, but also an accuracy focus and overall playing tip. Wow.
exactly how we practice flamenco techniques...for speed. No sound, just right hand movements
It's fairly unusual for something to blow my mind like this, but I really never thought about it that way. That's some pretty spectacular information
I've been playing the guitar for more than 5 years, and this made me realize why am I not improving.
Omg! THE REAL MASTER EXISTS
"This is not a technique problem, not a speed problem, it's a metal process problem."
Instant subscription. RESPECT.
That's how I learned to sweep. My left hand knew what to do, but I had to "teach" my right hands the different patterns.
We need so many more teachers like this. I was lefty on drums and no teacher would let me switch them so I basically gave up my calling too young
Wow somehow after 20 years of playing and many realizations, this was just not one of them. Thank you!
My guitar teacher had me sing and say the notes when practicing scales and even riffs. I cuts the learning curve significantly. I agree with this guy
You’re a very good teacher sir. Hearing this was invaluable. Thank you.
interesting..When I was studying classical guitar at University my professor talked a lot about hand AND finger independence. This idea can also be applied to passages that have counterpoint or where you are playing more than one voice (note) at a time. I once played bach for my professor and he said " wow that sounds great! good work! Can you play just the pbass for me at the same speed" I couldn't cuz I hadn't practiced it that way. Since then I like to break down all my pieces into bass, middle voices, and melody. Makes for clearer voice seperation (ie lets say you wanna bring out one specific note of a chord more than the others) and more musicality and dynamic at times
How have i not realised this before!??
When i play fingerpicking on the acoustic, my right hand knows what to do, because the emphasis is naturally on the picking hand. But i have never really trained my right hand enough with a pick.
Thank you!
This is absolutely true. I practiced for 5 minutes and gained ~25% speed on my riff. Amazing.
This may be what I lack , I have a good left hand (I believe) but my right hand cant keep up the pace, may be this can help.....
Did it help?
I feel exactly the same way. If I play the notes with lots of leggatos then I can play it fast, but once I start picking every note, my speed goes down by a lot.
When he brings up the hands is very relatable. I started on Violin and one of the earliest lessons I got was to learn how to move each hand independently of the other. Bit difficult at first but makes things easier as you go along if you can nail it in the beginning.
I realized this last year. Its very difficult at first to do just the right hand and practice by itself. But even though I noticed it I haven't been practicing it with confidence just every now and then. Now that I know for sure that's what's happening im going to learn my parts with just the right hand more often. Great lesson as always.
This fellow is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. Hell of a beard too! But seriously, it's nice to hear how he breaks up stuff into easily managed parts...this was always the issue I confronted when I was teaching guitar: how to break a complicated thing down into smaller, easier "bites," so to speak. On a few occasions, I was very successful and I could see the lights go on in the students' eyes, but most of the time, I struggled a lot. I get at least as much good info from this gent about teaching techniques as I do about ways to improve my own playing. A real win-win deal for sure.
Totally made sense. I ve already thought about doing it but never tried it. It's high time I start doing it.
I was always wondering why I couldn't ascend, I just kinda plateaued. This made a ton of sense, and I'm surprised I never realized this before.
Makes a lot of sense. Great approach for left and right hand independence.
This tip alone has helped me improve more than I years worth of what a teacher had taught.
This dude's understanding of the guitar is unbelievable
This is the first real speed lesson i've ever seen
Damn, you are so smart Mr Hess. You give a whole new perspective to guitar playing, I'm so eager to try that!
This actually works. I'm no shred master but the process of having you right hand move correctly for what you play does improve your overall speed of 'hand placement' & 'wrist movement'. It's the wrist movement & placement (technique) which I found improved immensely.
less move on hands fingers its less fatinge you can play more faster
My brain just exploded, this is brilliant, I was not aware that it works like that
Great advice! I used to write out the left hand part and practice it separately - it did wonders!
This is great. I’m lucky to have been playing with a really good drummer for years who mentioned this to me years ago. He’s always practiced rudiments separately with each hand and said I should try the same on guitar. Extremely helpful and helps your rhythm and timing as well.
Nice. I don't have a guitar with me but my intuition is screaming what great, logical sense this makes.
Excellent approach, I've been watching this guy for years. Great teaching ideas.
Very interesting concept. I need to try this.
OMG, he's so right! I've been realizing for a while it's my picking hand that's holding me back...
Oh, man--something I wish somebody had shown me years ago--starting with my barking mad teacher who used to shout and throw music around the room when I made what he considered stupid mistakes. He was a very talented guy--talented to a fault. He played by instinct and had no grasp of why a schlep like me couldn't do the same. But I digress...
This is the kind of insight a *real* teacher can give you! And by a real teacher, I mean one who can put himself in the student's place and tell him what's going on in his own mind. Which in this case is my mind too. Well, better late than never--Thanks, Tom Hess!
That's one of the Best pieces of advice i've ever heard! It made an instant difference for me, practicing my parts like that!
Excellent master class. This is what a great teacher does!
Now this is something I'm going to try, never heard of this, thanks a lot!
this is such a beautiful breakdown of the thought process!!
What a good teacher!! Clear ideas, expressd very well, helpful and with so much attention and respect for the student. Great!!
WOW. Mind blowing. I was a classical pianist and trying to get into guitar. NEVER practiced right/left separately before. Great idea.
Amazing how fast you see the root of the problem! Thank you for the instructions.
What’s up with downvotes, this piece of info is freaking amazing....
All guitarists should watch this. It's so true, and it will increase your speed, if you take the time to fully understand it.
Great lesson. This technique works wonders.
Never thought of it this way...an incredible way to understand improvisation too.
What an eye opener, I’m putting this to use now. Thank you for the best info ever.
tom hess is out of this world. and yet, still grounded here.
This is spot on! Training hands separately will get you a long way.
Chunking also fits nicely with this concept. You’ll notice you can play short fragments of a lick much faster than the whole thing. When you practice those “chunks” individually, you’re programming them into your brain as a unit as opposed to processing note by note, thereby freeing up processing power. Then, as you start chaining those chunks together, the whole lick becomes one unit to your brain, which frees up more processing power.
Yes, guitar playing requires some physical development/endurance, but most of the time, the hurdle has more to do with bad programming. Do that, and you’ll find yourself playing faster AND way more relaxed.
Learned so much. This is literally my fix for my sweep picking problem
I'm big on metal and classic rock. My fretting hand knows what to do, but hitting the rhythm's are where I get lost. I'll try this on my next practice session.
Really good explanation, this is a great overall advice, not only for speeding up, but for the overall flow and it translates to other things, than just music.
subscribed to you since back in the day. You are amazing. I've learned more from you and from Justin Sandercoe on the internet, and Robert Jackson (my guitar teacher in Nashville, USA) than from any guitar teachers ever. In fact, I've implemented all of your styles into my own teaching. No one teaches modes and 3 perstring scales better than Mr. Tom Hess, in fact!
really great! i tried to overcome it by thinking only by right hand... and this lesson show me the right way! thanks!
I have been with guitar for 22 years. But never knew and never practiced plucking the right hand without having to follow the left hand at all. Listening to you explained it made me understand even though the English translation was not very good.
Never realized how much it helped till now
Wow! Again! I was in the right place at the right time when this video came to me this many years after production. A light bulb definitely came on. It's hard to explain, but IT DID come on. Thank you again and again, Tom Hess!
Say something out loud around your phone and UA-cam will probably suggest a video for you..... how quaint.🤔🧐🤨
That's one impressive beard my friend!! Great beard!!
He's truly the Goat!
Awesome and switched on, patient and clear teacher Brilliant
God, I didn't even notice his beard until several minutes in. It's MASSIVE! Good point, but I can't get over the beard!
Never missed an email from this guy in 4 years. You sir are a great teacher!
huh makes sence never thought about that. ive always played bass focusing on my fretting hand and put my action hand on autopilot. always wondered why when I tried to break something down that was complicated in a whole then I cant play it at all until I look at my all and let my hands auto pilot again.
By far one of the most important lessons out there.
DUDE MY MIND IS BLOWN!!
This is one of the best lessons ever !!
This is extremely helpful! I struggle with the same think.
Excellent advice. Never heard someone explain it like that before
I'm really surprised about how well this works
I noticed the same thing a while ago
It does make a big difference
Been worried for awhile about my right hand not keeping up with my left. But this video blown my mind!
Great advice Tom. Very intuitive and detailed knowledge. Thanks!
just found out while playing the guitar that you can apply this technique when sweep picking. gotta try this on Megadeth's Tornado of Souls.
wooooooahhhhhhh.....mind blown...never thought of it like this!
Holy this actually works
Wow. Great teacher, recently these days I've been seeing if my right hand can play without my left hand doing the notes, and I can. I find this really important. Thank you so much. I thought it didn't really matter, I should practice this
EDIT: THIS HELPS A LOT! I REGRET NOT PRACTICING THIS WHEN I FIGURED OUT THIS. NOW THAT HE TOLD ME TO DO I DID IT, AND IT REALLY HELPS TO PICK WAY FASTER
Well my mind is blown. Never thought about imagining notes from my right hand.
THIS IS THE PERSON IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. HOW TO AETICULATE technicality and playing in a way that is precise, I am great at feeling but not technically, this gives me asking foundations. Thankyou Tom Hess
This was cool. I never thought of guitar playing as a mental practice. I always just thought of it as being a plan and do process. Let the music flow, but when you really break it down you do have to process what you are playing until it's natural and on instinct. I have a bunch of cover songs and originals that I
Just pick up the guitar and play. Never have to think about the shapes and picking patterns. Already locked in, unless I haven't played a certain song in so long and have to re learn it all over again.
Wow. Straight off the bat he is spot on. I totally understand what he means about needing the left hand top lead the right. This is going to be interesting.....
wow this really opened my eyes to a better way of practicing difficult parts
Well done and thanks for sharing brother! Great lesson and Tips!
I can tell from this video alone that this guy is a fantastic guitar teacher!
I needed something like this.
Awesome lesson! I knew something was wrong with how I was playing. Thanks for this post!
Best advice I ever heard in my guitar learnin career.
Great video - and great to see Robbe in the student seat!
I've never actually thought about this, but it's simply brilliant. Excellent!
Can't wait to try this on bass. Subscribed!
This will help so much Thanks.
