playing fast with 2 guitar picks

[guitarman122508]

I had an idea where you hold the pick normally and take a second one and place it between your middle and ring fingers. I'm trying to develop a technique that can be used to hit the higher strings with minimal movement. It could be good for jazz, blues, acoustic, and possibly even metal.

jim dunlop transparent picks.They come with the ability to disappear and you will never find it.

[wilky1189]

interesting concept...like the way billy sheehan uses four fingers to pluck bass strings.

[whammybarfreak]

umm, this isnt really fast, like i play way faster with one pick

[petergrffn700]

Why did i never think of that?!?!?!?!?! Ever try sweep picking with 2+ picks?

[petergrffn700]

Why did i never think of that?!?!?!?!?!



[TheJosh1111111111111]

5 picks!! oh wait its call your fingers, ha noobs

[flameknight2k9]

see why didn't i think of that, that is genious

[mackatash]

i could probly do dis wit 1 really thin pick but i wud probly be in bits afterwards

[shoonger001]

i can do this with one pick

[STorpedo]

Didn't everybody try this at one point or another?

[TheMagicJellyBean]

Uh... I play faster than that with one pick. Just sayin

[MrLino]

Why play that fast? There's a certain point that speed just makes it uglier.

[ildur]

@MrLino

That's not fast compared to Yngwie Malmsteen

Yngwie sucks but still.

[KatsuGuitar]

i REALLY hope some poor kid that has no idea what he is doing on the guitar comes across this and thinks that it is a great thing to do.

[PsydistiK]

@KatsuGuitar the kid u are talking about made this video

[ImmortalReaver]

Uh, what? I thought when he started playing, that was the demonstration of his speed with one pick. That's not that fast, I can do that with a single pick and I've only been playing for a year and a half.

[mccaslin7575]

No cookie from me big guy.

[guitar17johnny]

but what with crossing strings and not doubling any note....xD

[Maxrox91]

wouldnt two if anything make it harder and less precise?

[monkeyofwar14]

that speed can be easily achieved with just one pick though lol ... 2 is unnessisary

[Razor745]

lol this is a pretty good video. That's fast man, well done.

[juskosk8r]

and this is how i broke 3 strings at the same time:)

[rockerpunk7]

its not working for me

[codyyates13]

oh yeah

[scuzzbagz]

please check out my ''NEW RIFF'' video on my channel I play with a 50mm pick and it's much faster than this goof.....

[LeukeGast]

Thanks for soo much comments, and also thanks to maytons place.

[RobinA0]

Haha pretty cool :P

[dsgamer7]

nice... but some of us arent rich enough to afford two picks!?!?! jk but i can play that song to. jk again well good idea.

[chiefsmackahoe777]

Actually Dick Dale uses this double pick playing in his song miserlou and he plays that fast as shit, so it does work if you use it right.

[GuitarFeeling]

I mean no offense but... don't waste your time trying to invent stupid stuffs or tricks, use that for find your own expression and feel on your guitar. That's better, I can bet.

[mirrastyle4524]

nothing wrong with experimenting a little, obviously the dude can play. youre right but, hes just having fun.

[GuitarFeeling]

indeed, it's just a lil bit sad playing with 2 pics... hehe

[mirrastyle4524]

what if no one ever tried tapping, or bending the string?

[GuitarFeeling]

No one tried to play with his ass too, I guess...

[mirrastyle4524]

alright i was trying to be cool with you but i guess you are just an asshole.

[GuitarFeeling]

I was joking, dude... smile to life. ;-D

[mirrastyle4524]

alright , with so many assholes on youtube its hard to tell sometimes...

[GuitarFeeling]

True, man!

[PikkaBird]

Paul Gilbert did a sweep with his ass one time...

[Cliffs0fDover]

@PikkaBird LOL

[mintusdime]

waste of time, i can do faster with just 1 pick (isn't it so amazing how i can play with only ONE plectrum) wooo magical sorcery or wot eh???? ha lol

[kirk97932]

that´s not fast...

[StopStaringAtMePleez]

How come I can do that with 1 pick? Thats weird.

[vladchituc]

It's called tremelo picking and it's a lot cleaner

how about instead of half-assing it you actually learn your instrument.

[matt420740]

you can go faster with one pick and practice.

[kennethjhogan]

@matt420740 yeah true that, its not even that fast, you can go that speed without two picks

[CappedInTheHead]

hey! u could use that 2 play miserlou/pump it by black eyed peas/ dick dale

[CaptainHanneman]

i hold two picks between the same fingers but slightly askew to make it sound double tracked

[gullywoots]

this will decrease in at least 50% the incidence of arm injury among death metal players, I'm sure!

[acousticmonstr]

hey luke,try taking two picks and glueing an eight inch spacer in the middle.just make sure you get your finger out of trhe way.

[acousticmonstr]

hell i can do that with no pics

[IaMsPaRtA87]

i kno so could i

[guitarvenezuela]

Nice innovation. The effect is impressive.

[xyzk54]

Grazie a te mio caro my friend!!! bravo!!!

[methosyoutuve]

man you can get twice that speed easly with one pick, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything but it is true

[LeukeGast]
