- Cracking the Code viewers: You're following us on Instagram, right? If not, you're missing out! ( / crackingthecodeguitar ) As these crazy times have required us to adapt to more flexible work schedules and environments, we've also amped up our Instagram presence, where we post more frequently. These nuggets of learning include excerpts from interviews, lesson outtakes, cool new lick ideas, and sometimes Insta-exclusive mini lessons that just aren't long enough for UA-cam. Head on over and check us out: / crackingthecodeguitar
Troy, when we were cutting our teeth trying to figure out how to play Yngwie, vinnie Moore, and Paul Gilbert picking techniques, who knew a guy like you would take a deep dive, figure it out, and present everything on a platform like UA-cam years later. I don’t think the players themselves knew about pick slanting.
Appreciate everything you’ve put into your channel for the rest of us to learn from!
ALL THE NOTES!!!
Except for C#; I don’t like C#.
Hello Ben, 🤘
Uncle Ben.
Okay I know Troy has done more for guitar teaching and technique analysis than anyone in the last 30 years, but my word is he an underrated player. Seriously. Not only does he analyze it, he can actually play this stuff in all these different styles, and execute cleanly. Tons of tasty licks and solo ideas too.
Playing 40+ years, I can say I’ve never viewed how to pick videos but employ most all these techniques naturally over time. I wish these vids were around when I started playing.
You and me both!
I slowed this down and counted - there are over 1,000,000 notes in this video! :-) Seriously though, AWESOME collection and excellent playing from everyone involved. Killer tone as always too, Troy! 🤘🤘🤘
Very happy that a couple of my clips made it in here :-)
But of course!
Troy is like the Jeff Nippard of guitar fitness. I love how you bring the science into it and yet still make it fun and interesting. It's a bummer I only recently stumbled on your channel. Killer content for sure!
Your channel is amazing, I wanna practice guitar harder every time I see these videos. Also so creative, like I feel like the whacky animations make it easier for me to remember the different ideas cause I can go like "oh yeah this is that pop tarts thing, this is that anti-gravity Lamborghini thing"
I haven't watched lately. Troy is Shredding!! Clean.
thanks to Troy videos I have improved my pick technique
Handemic haha. Nice one!
Your the best Troy …Thank u so much this is inspiring asf…Watching this makes me realise I don’t practice enough anymore ..Particularly loved Steve vai cross roads when I grabbed the wammy bar ✊🏽😅
You changed my skill level so much help from your videos thanks so much troy
Wicked, a new Troy Grady upload. Haven't seen it yet but I know I'm going to like it.
And I definitely wasn't disappointed.
Love it!
Great stuff
Exceptional playing by all, Frank Gambale is an absolute highlight imo. Troy's technique is insane also.
Frank is amazing!
Mr Grady my friend you've come a long way. I was right there with ya bro. I learned a lot from your videos. My picking has ascended dramatically but by no means has my journey ended. Thank you Troy
I'm digging the sonic cowboy!! 💚🇮🇪
I think you should do cracking the code with Kiko Loureiro from megadeth. Many of his solos, especially from solo albums and from his previous band "Angra" rely heavily on alternate picking.

Have you done anything with slide players? Derek trucks would be amaaazing 😂
Great seeing Tommo on here, he absoluely rips on guitar.
Yes! Tommo is a great player! 🙂🤘
@@wth522 You're not too shabby either, Bill!
Thank you for the support Ink and Bill :-)
@@bingefeller thank you! 🙂
@@TommoGuitar 🙂🤘
" Many Complit Mr. Grady for Your Special Job/Work's on Guitar Study Technic Concept ". .. So' Good ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍✌👌👏👋
Hello, I would suggest you do a video about Davide Lo Surdo picking technique
hey Troy! been following you for years now, and I'm very thankful for your amazing effort and your great content.
seeing that you experimented with almost every picking style and right hand technique, what is the most efficient grip to use in overall playing regardless of the style?
I used to be a Downward pick-slanter with open hand but recently I've switched to upward slanting with a closed fist, and it's way more efficient (for me at least)
what's your take on that dude?
There really isn't one. Also, certain grips pair with certain arm positions - Eddie Van Halen's middle finger grip, for example, is most often used with what we call a "supinated" arm position. And that's purely for practical reasons, because when you turn your arm that way, you can usually no longer reach the strings with an index finger grip. So there is some logic to why certain grips are employed. But the most common grips, which are usually index finger grips, work with a wide array of arm positions and types of picking motions, so those are a good starting point.
@@troygrady thanks for taking the time to reply dude!
When I started watching your videos I also started looking for the most diverse guitar player to copy his right hand technique, and I've found that Guthrie Govan is the most diverse and he's an upward-pickslanter so I started doing the same and the results were surprisingly great!
What's your take on that?
Sir Troy just wanna ask what guitar pick marshall harrison when you interviewed himo
Mantap.....
I know it isn't the most important thing, but Teemu's picking technique is just so aesthetically pleasing. Very elegant looking. The opposite of Michael Angelo Batio's technique. lol
Oh boy... time to feel like shit about my guitar playing. Lol
Noooo!
@@troygrady don't worry. It's good for me. Makes me practice moar.
Troy you are an amazing player. Still after watching all your videos I still cannot outside pick for fast licks. So I economy pick them instead.
Whatever works!
Cool
Hi! Thanks for making great video! BTW I really wanna buy "The magnet". How can i get few of them?! plz let me know that! It's ok it's prototype or not!
They're still at the factory, so we're not selling them yet. Things are very slow with the manufacturing process but we WILL get them over here, eventually. Stay tuned to our mailing list for more details.
love dragon army
Hey Troy when is someone going to interview you??
I get interviewed all the time - see our previous upload. But as far as playing skills our instructional stuff is basically that too, since it's closeups of my own playing plus thoughts on what I'm doing.
@@troygrady Maybe a video of you interviewing yourself? Vai did one that would be very interesting
7:20 anyone knows what kind of pick that is and where I can find one?
💯💯💯💯👍🎸
Troy. I know you said you couldn’t get ahold of Jason Richardson. How about his doppelgänger Stephen Taranto? I think he’s just starting to emerge but… just… give him a view when you have a chance.
I hope you’ll be able to get Petrucci on here, one day.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Anyone else seen this older video of Troy amp shopping? ua-cam.com/video/YKUhlsc5fEI/v-deo.html I think his picking was just as good back then. But, if you watch that older video, he's playing a Nuno type Washburn, but it looks headless or something strange like hidden tuning pegs? Troy or anyone: What type of headless nut or headstock is Troy using in the amp buying video? Thanks in advance!
is it just me or does Troy always look tense while playing?
I avoid anything that feels tense - lazyness is your friend when it comes to form. Check out the last example for details.
It’s because he is trying really hard to stay below the speed of light
@@TommoGuitar I've seen all the videos but Troy still looks tense to me.
Maybe it's the camera. I have the same problem. His picking technique is efficient and doesn't require much force in order to have a great pick attack.
I tend to "overfocus" when the camera is on and end up feeling tense even if it doesn't look like it from the outside.
shrediculous techniques! hope you're getting paid by the note.
