[fhatsk8er]

@backwoodsgps thanks!

[Dcforlife025]

it is boring but helps a whole lot

[fhatsk8er]

yep, the point is to help. I think my next lesson I'll experiment a little with excitement

[polkaspots231]

very informitaive...

[maiden06660]

BORING

[ragnorak642]

@maiden06660 its a freakin warm-up video..what were you expecting a concert?

[wershasherma]

are you the fiddly diddly dude if you are then you can shred like a mother fucker, masterful, if your not sorry your still kool

[fhatsk8er]

thanks, yes I'm the fiddly diddly dude lol. It's been 2 1/2 years since I made that video, so I might look a tad different

[Moparandrsfreak01]

Do you workout or something lol? You look pretty ripped.

[fhatsk8er]

lol yes I do

[Thebattlewalrus]

i have never thought of warm ups but im going to start doing this because of joint pain in my hands knees and elbows this should help

[fhatsk8er]

I hope it does!

[frigginGerry]

Very informative. Thanks.

[pigvonrow1215]

i dont think i could stand doing those warms ups each time

[fhatsk8er]

It does get tedious sometimes. Sometimes I'll try to use the time to also get a feel for how hard I should be picking/fingering, what angle my hand should be, etc. If I'm really bored, I'll watch tv while I do the stretches lol. as long as they get the hands loose

[ohhthedevil]

Im new to playing and i never thought that warming up was important, untill i was playing for an hour sitting in one place... awsome warm up though.....

[fhatsk8er]

I hope my video helped you out some then, you'll find that after warming up you can play hours on end if you want to

[fallenscout17]

how long have u been getting lessons and how often did u goto them??

[fhatsk8er]

I took lessons for the first 2 years of my guitar playing, and I went for a half-hour every week and learned something new each time

[gamp921]

i"ve been playin for 2 years and have never seen a warm-up as good as this.

thnx. keep it up

[knife0to0throat]

its kinda crazy, i didnt expect for the warmup to do much for me but after practicing it for a bit ive noticed alot smoother flow when playing...

[fhatsk8er]

Awesome! Yea, the warmups should help loosen the hands so that everythings relaxed to play the harder stuff

[evilcom08]

I wear glasses to! Thanks for all these tips, you are beast!!

[fhatsk8er]

Awesome \m/. Glad they helped!

[analnonamous]

can you show us some of your picking techniques?

so we can try to be astonishing close to how amazing you are

[fhatsk8er]

For picking, the main things to keep in mind are 1. use as little of range of motion as possible, so that it's less work to alternate pick (economy of motion), 2. keep the pick slightly diagonal (search "gilbert pick" for a lesson). The rest is practicing and finding which hand positions work best for you. Try to look at other player's pick motions, that also helps when experimenting

[guitarman104]

do u find that active pickups take more gain to push than passives do do u have any tips with active pickups because i am looking to purchase an Jackson DKMG and its has the 81 85 combo

[fhatsk8er]

Well I seem to get a higher output with active pickups so I don't have to put the gain as high as I do with passive pickups. I put a set of 81/85 in this guitar. I don't have any tips per say, but I like the pickups

[ch4rl3scurr4n]

dude you are like seriously amazing

[WideSpreadPanic44]

i had never thought of doing this but ill try it.  thanx

[fhatsk8er]

no prob, hope it helps!

[ultramoviez456]

Thanks man! I when i did some things of you warm up i get hyper and played guitar all day haha! Thank you for posting this video so i got a good warm up before I practice. Rock on!

[fhatsk8er]

great! rock on!

[thatSmetal1]

i got that same shirt \m/

[fhatsk8er]

awesome!

[loghead226]

yeah my teacher is a big fan of petrucci and this is an exercise he gave really early on. its pretty good for coordination and it has strange yet nice sound to it

[pkerlover]

yo thx for da tips but i desperately need to know the name of the amp in the background.

[fhatsk8er]

its an H&K Switchblade

[polishedbullet]

That's one expensive half-stack behind you

[fhatsk8er]

haha yea that's my live rig, I bought big last year so I don't have to buy anything else for quite a long time

[polishedbullet]

What model head would you recommend for under $1000? I was looking at a used 5150 I and possible a Marshall JCM2000

[emoguy88888]

get the 5150 it's great

[evilcom08]

whats the 5150?

[fhatsk8er]

it's a kind of amp head that mimics EVH's amps I think. I've never tried it though

[fhatsk8er]

I couldn't tell you, I usually make my purchases either from reading reviews or trying the item, and I haven't done that with a lot of amps. You could try the 5150 like emoguy said

[twoguysandashow]

Wow I never thought to actually stretch before hand, didnt know it'd help, but I'll definatly do it now lol thanks ;P

[fhatsk8er]

no prob, glad to help!

[fhatsk8er]
