Hey Marshall! What were you playing at 4:34 ?? Is that the 3rds but backwards and ascending? If you have time maybe.. tab these licks if its not to much to ask ;) Thanks!!
Dumb question: do you use the little stubby picks? I think they sound a little plastic but there's not a whole lot of attack with them so I like them but I can never hold onto them haha
@tubaeli93 I used LITTLE stubbys at first starting in 1990 then switched to the Big stubby's in 2008. All of the sudden the BIG stubby's just became more comfortable and effective....i dunno...
@RozarSmacco I bought the little stubby's really just based on the picture and I thought they were concave. But I'll probably give the big ones a try because I think they are probably easier to grip. Thanks for letting me know!
Will hybrid picking be sufficient enough when deviating from quadruplets through quadruplets.Like if you are heading towards picking quadruplets through 2-3 3-4 4-5 combinations in the fingerboardhand.I think it will be over complicated and the dynamic rhythmic control will be harder don,t you think?
The combination of pick, middle, and ring fingers makes some great things possible. I've had great luck playing some of the difficult Nicolas Slonimsky interval patterns that way.
Does anyone have any tips on how to play cleanly when using hybrid picking and a lot of overdrive? I can get my right-hand fingers moving and picking, but I can't mute effectively when hybrid picking. I usually have my right-hand thumb in contact with the strings when I'm alternate or economy picking and play very clean that way, but when I begin to hybrid pick, the motion pulls my hand away from the strings and I lose the ability to mute...anyone else dealt with this problem?
I've noticed that you hold your pick in a specific way. You hold it horizontal and put it between your thumb and the side of your index finger. What made your come to the conclusion of holding your pick like this and does it help a lot in alternate picking between different strings?
marshall great lesson, love the tone and the playing i really dig that type of hybrid picking to play those arpejios, i have two questions what kind of strings you use and where i can find the frist part of this lesson :P thnks man cheers from colombia :D
Happened to stumble across this by accident and got my mind blowed. This is another level of guitarplaying, at least from my amateurish perspective. Sweeping and some economypicking doesn't do the trick. I didn't, at first, like the idea of legatohammering and hybridpicking since I'm a bit conservative. This (and some other of your clips) has convinced me to try to embrace what I lack. Thank You!
I almost think I'd like to see these lessons without any distortion. Not because I doubt your precision, but because I'd like to hear what you're doing more clearly.
Maybe even the amount Paul Gilbert used in his old lesson videos. That was pretty clear.
Great video. When I get into picking trouble (e.g. down stoke on B string followed by up stroke on G string), I might pull-off to avoid it. My question: the lick near 5:30 doesn't seem to result in troublesome alternate picking. Can you (or anyone) explain the picking for that 6 note sequence (1-3-4-5-4-3...). It seems the hybrid pick is on 1 - which seems more awkward than alternate picking (which I think is simply down-up-down-up-down-up without ending up in no-mans-land). Thanks!
I believe (albeit I may be mistaken), that in his older videos he made a point that you should use the fleshy tip of the finger to not give too harsh of a tone, I think it's in the future guitar vid. I don't know for sure, sorry
Sorry for trying to be a smart-ass, but are these arpegio ideas influenced by Chopin ? Etude op.10 nr.1 , Etude op25 nr.11 etc. ? I took your advice and got some chopin books and I was really puzzled when I wanted to play that kind of arpegios.
This lesson definatly helped me and now I know how to play them faster.
@RozarSmacco Dear MH , always watch your posts with big interest ,, yet i dont practice guitar techniques anymore ,, that is a compliment , as to watch technique nowadays , i only watch the most extreme skills !! , when you play techniques seem so basically easy , no matter how i try i always tense up ,,but on another note [ no pun intended ] , i metal detect gold rings in the water at beaches , i would love to know the carat of your band , and its weight ,my guess is 18 ct and around 11grams
you are very generous, thank you!!! Also, how did you learn to play like you do, did you have one particular teacher or school that you went to that influenced you the most, or was it just picking up here and there? Yikes!
What sets me apart from the standard guitar player is my piano studies I feel. Studying the Chopin, Liszt, Alkan, Paganini Etudes posed so many problems for just a pick and four fingers. I took that problem solving attitude and the solutions that those guys came up with and Transferred them to the guitar.
Vladimir Horowitz' approach was also a revelation: do not FIGHT the natural predilections of technique. Find what comes naturally and then discover the music therein.
Thank you very, very much for sharing your videos! Especially your hybrid picking in combination with eco. picking helps me alot to get out of picking traps and it expands my musical ideas! a video of your string-skipping would be nice ;) greetings from germany!
AWSOME! I cant get enought of your lessons, theyre great. 4:34 area - was that using the same technique as the last trick? What was that full sounding sweep at 9:33 too? Sooo cool!
I would kill for a tab or sheet music for this lol i try to keep up but I'm not at that level yet :P Great lesson tho I'm learning a lot thank you so much! i really do hope you release an album some day I'd love to purchase it!
You have probably been my biggest guitar inspiration ever since I saw you. You inspired me to explore all the possible techniques and try to push guitar playing to the limit.
