That one simple comment of why to angle the pick. I had heard before about pick angle. But not why and never felt it until your detailed explanation. Thank You for the time you took.
I’ve been through Justin’s Beginner course which has brought me from a no nothing to being fairly comfortable with Acoustic Campfire songs. I switched to electric late in his course and the beauty of his videos is that they are so detailed, when you watch them again, you get so much out of them still. Hell of a teacher. Imagine how great he would be in a private 1 on 1 lesson. Incredible.
I think he must sponsored you to say such a thing. I paid for his course. Its boring watching him as the only instructor on his site. Its cheap i will say that, but u certainly get what u pay for. Ive used a lot of guitar learning apps and there are heaps better.
@@jimmycricketlopez2746 Well.. i doubt he is sponsored, but i am for sure not. I disagree with everything you said, but at the end of the day it varies from person to person. I find him a perfect teacher really, and have no trouble at all by the fact that he is the only one. Dare i say, i actually prefer only having one teacher. Never paid for anything at all, and all of the stuff that i learned from his has worked perfectly fine.
I've been struggling with alternate picking, even after watching multiple instructional videos. My pick was getting stuck on the strings. Finally I found this and it showed me the light. Pick angle and stroke direction are very important. After watching this I went from sucking at alternate picking to being able to do it fast and somewhat accurately within 10 minutes.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. BEEN PLAYING FOR YEARS WITH NO TEACHER & DOWN PICKING IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN PICK FAST SPEEDS.. LAST FEW DAYS FOR HOURS & HOURS HOURS & IM PRACTICED ALTERNATIVE BUT JUST CANT GET MY SPEED UP. AS HARD AS I TRY.. NOW I REALIZED I WAS GOING STRAIGHT UP & DOWN ! THE ANGLE THING JUST HELPED ME TO SPEED IT UP HEAPS. I JUST COULDN'T FIGURE it out.. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS VIDEO.. YOU JUST BROKE YEARS & YEARS OF BAD FORM IN ONE MINUTE!!. BLESS YOU, 🙏🙏🙏🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🙏🎤🎸🤗🎸🤗🙏🤩🤩📣🎧💜
Mate. I didn't even start watching the video. I went to comments to see if people recommend it. I saw your comment, noticed the word "angle". I took my guitar, started picking with different angle and with engaging my wrist. That's how I learned to fast alternate pick.
@@FlusteredFilo cool , Wicked.. good for you.. in HEIGNSIGHT i must admit I'm still having issues going as fast as a truly want Maybe this is a sign I should watch Again.. Bless you... Take care
Justin, you’ve just saved my life lol; I’ve been struggling so much with alternate picking for the past 2 weeks, and even my guitar teacher couldn’t figure out why I sucked at it so badly. 2 minutes in and it’s a world of a difference. I’m seriously so happy that I could cry 😭 Thank you so much, your lessons are truly a Godsend 🙏
One of the best guitar teacher/expert/authority I've ever seen. How lucky today's kids are for having access to him and many other great teachers by click of a button. In my days of learning the guitar back in the 80s, I would be very lucky to have a copy of an old guitar book with some tablature. Technology is amazing 👏
Brilliant. My cousin put me onto your videos. I am going through a Fender online course interspersed with your wonderful videos. This simple video has made such a difference for me. Thanks!
This is probably the best guitar video I've ever seen. That tip about the angle of the pick is amazing and you explained it amazingly. I was just using it flat on the string before but the songs I play sound so much better now!
so the angle was the problem all along, i can alternate pick with my finger nail but was having a hard time with a pick, thanks justin i really appreciate your tips
Wow I've been learning guitar for about 7 months now. (Not very consistently tho). And my teacher did tell me about picking at an angle but I never really thought about the inward /outward motion. It actually makes quite a bit of difference.
I was practicing while watching the vid and I did the pinky anchor thing and I thought I had to break that habit but my wrist started hurting, thank you for mentioning its okay to do that😭
Hi Justin Thank you so much for your lessons they are really helpful and fun to watch . I have a question if anyone can answer me please , whenever i hit the pick with no angle, the string sound comes good but whenever I tilt the pick and try to hit a string it makes a weird sound of it hitting the string i dont know how to describe it but i cant hear it in your video when you tilt the pick, I dont know what iam doing wrong but its really frustrating , cause if i dont tilt it, it get stuck when i strum up and if i tilt it , it makes this annoying sound !?
Yeah, what Justin is saying here at the end is a collection of pretty much all red flags regading picking technique advice. Comfortable should never be what you should go by. It should be calculated and efficient to perfection, in the end it will result in being the most comfortable technique that will allow you to play anything. Basically, Paul Gilber and Anton Oparin are the two safest options to use as a reference point.

Wow. I went from "How the hell does anybody do this" to being able to alternate pick within 30 seconds after this video. HUGE HELP, thank you!
hahaha same

@@Add_Account485 it’s not about how fast you can do it it’s about accuracy
@@Jaylamah529 I'm sure it is. I've learnt at least that fro. Justin I must admit. That technique , correct first.. then speed will come..

This video is one of the best about alternate picking technique! Thank you! 🎸
I love the fact that this courses are organized and also free , thank you Justin 😍
Love this guy, learning how to play bass with the pick and this is by far the best tutorial I’ve found

The tip about angling the pick really helped me, thanks.
Best channel for online #guitar lesson❤️❤️
so the angle was the problem all along, i can alternate pick with my finger nail but was having a hard time with a pick, thanks justin i really appreciate your tips
The intro of Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden seems great to practice altrenate picking !
I'm here for that song lmao
I AM improving day by day♥️♥️♥️Thnx justin
Thanks Justin!

Thank you for this
Dude this is so helpful thank you!
Thank you Justin...
I should have learned this years ago. For any beginners reading this, you really should learn alternate picking.
Thanks justin for your great videos.
Can we do alternate picking without a pick?
Why I miss this lesson when I start learning guitar, now I have to fix my picking technique after 10 years playing guitar
Is this the guy from the Wiggles? I’m not joking!
Yooooo
Can you use alternate picking for metallica
That's why I'm here. Orion and Dyers Eve
Can we do it with finger??
Hi Justin

oh man why didn't i even realize hat. I'm really glad when he strokes the pick flat against the strings it looks just as annoying as it is
1:40
That's silly 🙃
i think a better way to describe the second step is 'in and AWAY' 😎😎
is there a way to do with no pick?
For me it’s such a struggle pain in the
A$$ I’ll keep practicing
Jokes on you I’m so bad that my pic is never square on the string
How do you do alternate picking without a pick and just use your fingernails???
I'm guessing Red Hot Chili Peppers - Parallel Universe is a pretty decent song to practice alt-picking on.
Snow hey oh when you get better at it as well
@@gilinachshen8094 yes, because beginners can play Snow.
Dead By Dawn- Diecide is also a good one to practice on
what if i doesnt have a pick
pick one
What I've learned today: I have become cumbersome.
