    Guitarchampions,
    In the last couple of weeks I sat down with a surgeon and a physiotherapist to fully analyze, what the heck is actually going on while SPEEDPICKING.
    And therefore I created this 1 hour long video, where I try to answer most of the common questions about the SPEEDPICKING motion.
    I'm also talking about:
    -Pickslanting
    -Muting
    -Practice Ideas
    and more more more...
    This was a lot of work, while I'm working on my next "ZEN OF...." course.
    So please, share this video, leave a comment, leave a like and have fun working through one of my longest and biggest videos.
    Thank you for your support.
    Cheers and stay #progress

      Amazing video bro. How do U keep ur picking hand in one spot when picking? My hand always moves towards the bridge.. and I want it to stay by the neck pick up .. any advice would be great from you ! Thank you .

      I agree that positioning your arm is important for maximum speed but you got guys like Nuno that holds his guitar really low and still manages to shred the strings.

    • @justin.hombach
      @justin.hombach  Рік тому +3

      @@mrgreeneye656 the left hand can work pretty well, when the guitar is hanging down low… but the right hand won‘t and Nuno is not really someone who does speedpicking. So I wouldn‘t compare to him for right hand technique. Paul Gilbert has extremely long arms and hands, which makes it more possible for him to speedpick extreme stuff while the guitar is low on his body.

      Hi, hope it's not too late but I have a question that's making me feel quite anxious, I was hoping you could answer it
      So basically I get what alternate picking and pickslanting are about, but when I'm playing and I go for a higher string I get the instinct to just pick down to reach it and vice versa with lower strings, I just pick up, regardless of how I picked the previous note. I've always found it more intuitive, and I do it naturally, is this like a bad habit? Should I force myself to exclusively alternate between up and down even if it seems counterproductive?
      Hope I made myself clear, my english isn't the best haha

      All the idiots here criticizing the value of a teacher do not understand the value of 1-on-1 personalized feedback. This 1 hour video is all the knowledge, but hiring a teacher is for the knowledge and personalized corrections. You can know all the right things and still get it wrong because you don't have a teacher fixing the bad habits and mistakes that even you aren't noticing in your own playing. $60 per hour is worth it, as long as the teacher is giving you quality lessons. If the teacher doesn't know how to teach you or cater lessons for you, then obviously they're over priced. It all depends, but do not be so foolish to dismiss the real quality and worthwhile price of paying for a teacher in order to break through plateaus in your playing a certain style or technique. You have to be clear about your goals so you can find the right teacher...

    I thank you my German friend. This is the most helpful video I've discovered in helping picking speed (trust me, I've watched A LOT of videos on the topic). You cover basically every question I have about picking--wrist motion, where to rest the wrist, how to hold the pick, grip strength, how to deal with injuries, etc.
    Just based off your tips alone, I found that my fasted speed is sixteenth notes around 200bpm. Before taking your advice, I had trouble maintaining sixteenth notes at 120 without my bicep tensing up. I'm not sure exactly what changed based on the advice given in this video, but the clarity on holding the pick most definitely helped. Once again, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After watching your video I’ve been practicing some of your techniques for a week now and have found I’ve made some good strides. Still a long way to go but wanted to thank you personally for your video. It has helped a lot. I will keep working everyday to develop even half your speed. Take care.

    Hey Justin, Grrr8 lesson here! I agree that the way you hold the pick is essential.
    But I did find out over the years, that your hand, wrist and forearm have just as important role in your results.
    I use to use a Fender medium pick all the time, then I finally relized several years ago how it was holding me back.
    Now after four plus years, I use the Earnie Ball prodigy 1.5 and or the Patrucci 1.5....
    It has made a remarkable difference with speed & accuracy.
    As far as pick movement and loose grip, that comes with time and experience, and positive results.
    I find myself always adjusting the pick effortlessly without even thinking about it, it just happens😅
    Anyway enough mumbo jumbo 😂

    Thank you so much I play for 4 years right now and almost there with the speed picking but I'm holding the big wrong man so thanks a lot man!! My finger was touching the strings sometimes when I'm playing fast but now it's over!! Cheers
