Can we just chill on the whole pinky thing. If it sounds good who really cares. If someone complains about not being able to play a certain lick/song etc... ok fine, tell them to use their pinky. Otherwise just chill on the "omg use ur pinky, u made me mad" dick riding comments, please?
@theleetman haha thanks bro. Finally someone with a head on there shoulders. I keep telling people that the first half of the video is played with my pinky. The first note of the solo is played with my pinky for fuck sake, but still people feel that I don't use my pinky for some reason. I guess there just retarded. Anyway you rock dude! Thanks for putting it how it is. Cheers.
@TYLERtheBRUTAL Thanx dude you're awesome. Seriously eh! Stupid dicks all of my pinky finger when use all my fingers in all my videos. Retardation must be a bigger problem than I thought.
@Mrspeedgtst16 AGREED ! i hate when people limit them selves cuase there to lazy to learn to use there damn pinky that is a huge pet peeve of mine ! lol
I do undertand what he is saying for certain demish scales i dont use the pinky cuase my hand is to long so its cleaner... but i hate when i see people not using there pinkie
@JEFFreyScreams I also don't like people who don't use there pinky. The first riff in this video is played with my pinky cuz I'm so awesome like that and all my other youtube videos are full of hot pinky playing action!! check em out. Long live the pinky!
@MrSpeedgtrst16 duuudddeee watch any of my other videos and low and behold the pinky is used just as much as any of my other fingers. For this particular chromatic minor arpeggio I chose to omit my pinky for greater speed and efficacy. Just the same as Malmsteen and Paul Gilbert do. But I guess they wouldn't know anything about shedding right? Does it make you angry when they play this run with out their pinky too??
@MrSpeedgtrst16 well the first note of this video is played with my pinky followed by many others also with my pinky.. So you being retarded makes me angry.
god please use your little finger watching that was painful dont get me wrong that was a nice solo but you would find guitar so much easier if u used your pinky its the key to metal playing
Utter nonsense. Its only the diminished patterns he did not use his pinky for and that is extremely common when sweeping them., Malmsteen does not use his pinky for diminished patterns, is he missing the key to metal playing? Or what about Jari Mäenpää? In my mind the best diminished arpeggio sweeper (possibly sweeper in general) around and he does not use his pinky for the dminished shapes either. The obvious advantage to that is it leaves your pinky open for expanding the licks should you
yeah past the 12th fret ill say use 3 fingers so your pinky is free so you can do 4 notes per string stuff but before the 12th fret iv always been taught in college(uni if your in usa) that you should make the least movement possible while playing guitar thus using all 4 fingers creates less movement but hey i guess its if your a taught guitarist or not im not saying that its impossible im saying using your pinky is what people who learn music do because its the classical way to play
I watched your videos and dont believe for a second that you were taught guitar in college...I was taught by theodore ziras (check him out he is on youtube, one of THE best shredders in the world, been featured in guitar world, total guitar etc) and he certainly had no silly rules like that.
The important things are consistancy and to not limit yourself, using all 4 fingers for diminished patterns past the 12th fret limits yourself so I dont do that, but having a completely different technique
for playing them on one section of the fretboard than another is even worse, it completely breaks the consistancy, no college would EVER teach you to do that, its only a two fret stretch so even at the first fret its very easy to do so again why have such inconsistant technique?
All this is slightly irrelevant anyway as comment was in response to your ridiculous assertion that this guy should be using his pinky for everything here as its the 'key to metal playing'. Malmsteen, Maenpa etc are
all classicaly trained players and are all miles above you and yet they dont do that, so are they missing the key to metal playing? Are they unlearned guitarists?
You are just trying to big yourself up by talking total nonsense about something you dont understand on a video of a guitar player who is leagues ahead of you.
lol 1 i dont need to big myself up i play acoustic guitar and have passed all my tests at college so i really dont feel that i was trying to BIG my self up i was simply stating what ive been taught and thats it
2 do you find it fun going round youtube trying to cause arguements cause iv been on your page and most of your recent activity is just bull shit
3 i actully agreed with you so i dont no why you are trying to start something over the net(its kinda sad and show's that your probs only 16 n feels the need to fight with people over the net because you never actully have the balls to start fights in real life) chill out and dont start things over the net its childish and silly all i said was that he needs to use his pinky i however agree with what you say past the 12th fret
choose to. Pinky usage is of course essential but certainly NOT for everything. There seems to be a huge community of people on youtube commenting videos criticizing people for not using their pinky enough and making ridiculous claims such as 'using your pinky will make you faster', they are invariably people without shred videos on their profile themselves...possibly trying to feel superior by giving 'advice' to good players?
Its the same reason why many players do not use the pinky for the
1 3 4 pattern past the 12th fret, it leaves your pinky open to do other things later in the lick and thus gives you more options. Why purposefully limit yourself? Do you really think this guy is doing it because he cant use his pinky? Of course not, do you think malmsteen does it because he cant either? Or Jari? Or Chris Amott? Dont be ridiculous.
@ox0Jason0xo everyone has their own style, for example Eric johnson - an amazing guitarist rarely uses his little finger. its all about what u comfortable with and as long as you deliver the notes there is no problem. reading your comment was painful!
@ox0Jason0xo The very first note of this solo is played with my pinky, then many other notes get played with my pinky.. What's the problem exactly?? Did you even watch this video?
Just for future reference, there is no chromatic minor scale. You may be thinking of the plain old 12-tone chromatic scale or the harmonic minor scale (which has a raised 7th degree). Either way, nice playing. It sounded interesting.
Well this was one of my solos for my old death metal band Creep Colony. I worked it out by improvising on the chromatic minor scale (Malmsteen uses it a lot) but when I recoded this clip it was complete, the way I wanted it live. I recorded it as a reference in the case that I forgot how I played it. lol
Ok, well check out my other vids and let me know what you think, since this clip had an outside-the-box chromatic minor feel that might be out of your change of appreciation. Others seem to like it though...
