  • How come when I typed in "how to play guitar faster", I got shred videos? Shredding is way to overused. Soloing should be about emotions portrayed through a guitar, not speed.

  • @CurtisAlfeld I suppose because the question is moot. How to learn faster? Study harder and longer ;)

    I agree, shred is way overused. I definitely like music over shred.

  • @highintel you"re welcome Sir.

    i will memorize your scale tutorial first before to make some video. legato and tremolo picking? i will check on this...... thanks for this info.

    this is very helpful Sir.

  • i want to learn like this.............

    but i think its very hard for me.

    i am going to replay this video 10 thousand times.

    what is the technique to move fingers this fast? :(

    you're amazing man!

  • @hideaki29 Thank you!! the technique is just practice but you can work on Legato for the left hand speed and tremolo picking for the right hand till you can sync them up at a fast speed. make a video showing what you can do and I will check your technique to match it with mine ;)

  • What size strings do you use?

  • @xXAigisXx 10's.... in this video,  but I use 11's normally.

  • I tryed this. BUT...De breins is hengaged bot de fingas is not verkink fast! Heeeeeeeeelp!

    What oil do you use on your fingas to shclip and schlyde so qvick ?

  • @hattonhall Zen Shut De Breins Off! Feelz it...justs feelz its..... ;)

  • That's "Fire and Ice" by Yngwie Malmsteen. One of my favorite songs by him :D Also, thanks for the lesson :)

  • @Alex93435 Your very welcome!!! that was one of my favs back in the day too!!!

  • do you have tabs i only have a phone to watch it on cant see the frets well

  • @robbie4629 not off hand but I can work something up.. I get asked that a lot so i think i will finally do it ;)

  • @highintel okay that would be rally apreciated

  • its fast but it doesnt have individuality its just a fast lick that anyone can do

  • @masivekill bullshit . lets see you do something like that but with more "originality".

  • @TheGrimoireMovement  i can im asian

  • @masivekill ... Ok then I guess I spoke too soon.

  • how long have you been playing guitar?

    

  • @shahrullz1 about 18 yrs in this video... Been playing sense I was 12.

  • @highintel at what age did you get good at guitar?

  • @shahrullz1 lol.. I'm Good??..hehe I had a Good command of Scales and technique at age 16. I could play most Steve Vai, Yngwie, Jason Becker, Eric Johnson, etc.. well enough to fool people...ha

  • I dont even think I can move my fingers that fast D:

  • @ssa12344 Sure you can! If I can do it, so can you. Just practice ;)

  • @highintel Yeah I guess you are right :) Thanks for your encouragement man !

  • thanks a lot my friend, it's really useful, now I'm trying to practice at least 2 hours a days.I hope the hard work pay off soon..

    

  • Yes I hope do just a question how can I play so fast like u? I mean there r any exercises that should I download or buy? Just if u have an idea how can I play fast.

    Thanks a lot your video is helping I was practicing some of ur solo I'm still a lil bit slowly but I'm keeping rocking.

    Peace.

  • @nabiluss Lots of Paul Guilbert, Vinnie Moore, Ritchie Kotzen, Micheal Lee Ferkins, Marty friedman, etc.. videos.. Other than that... Lots of practice is all it took ;)

    peace my friend!!!

  • dude I wish one day I can play like u do now

  • @nabiluss That's the cool thing about Practice.. Your wish will come true if you do it ;) If I can do it anyone can. were all just Humans ;)

  • nice man

  • Do you have scalloped frets?

  • nice cat.

  • @wavy29 whats his name? ANNOYING COMMENTER!!!! xD jk man <3 ;)

  • your two fingers on right hand are funny when you play fast))

  • wow, that was frickin awesome!

  • if its A minor why are u playing F#? on lick 2 sorry if i asked a stupid qn

  • @zackczj no prob.. read where it says PLEASE read under the vid...hehe

    Your partially right though, Good catch ;) It's E Minor.

  • why are u not famous???!

  • @hackerwacker4 need more support I suppose? Check out my Band Lidless Eye's channel if ya get a chance! It's good metal!!!

  • @highintel i liked the improvising where its more note flowing and less on the scales and all the techneque speeding

  • Are you playing any particular scale or is it a mixture of everything?

  • @nicedog1 I'm playing the major scale and mixing the 7 modes of it.

  • hes just playing scales,

  • @TheLaMoFo actually just One scale..and different Modes of that scale.

  • I wonder what the cat in the background makes of it all. I remember when I first started playing, I was practising string bending in my bedroom when I heard a 'bomp' on the window. I ingnored it the first time but when it happened again I looked out to see a tabby cat staring up at me. Cleary it had thought that my attempts to sound like Hendrix had sounded more like one of its friends which was the view of my long suffering family at the time.

  • AWESOME FEELING!!!

  • Do you palm mute while pick sweeping? because I've been working on sweeping for a while and it's really confusing for me?

  • 0:55 cat is like ninja xD

  • First shredicon86 u spellt practice wrong, and nicedog1 its really easy to be able to play this fast, for about 3-5 weeks practice these slowly for about 2-4 hrs a day, than try it faster and faster, it will work, if u like playing guitar and are depressed that u cant do it, and im not saying u cant i just read ur comment in a depressing way, but yeah u CAN do this if u try

  • I dont think that everyone can play that fast; some people are just gifted.

  • @nicedog1 and some are just defeatists...

    Go practise.

  • @shredicon86 I can play fast but then I have been playing nearly 27 years. I just never seem satisfied and always want to be better.

  • @nicedog1 If not having a real Girlfriend till I was 20 is a Gift than I see your point ;)..hehe

  • @highintel - Same here; thats why I got into the guitar lol

  • @highintel How long did it take you to play this fast? A year? A few months? Or a few weeks? Ha.

  • @nicedog1 if you work hard you can play this fast.

  • Woweeee how long does it take to build up that much speed?!!

  • what effectboard are u using?

  • Can u do a lesson on how to play like that amazing solo at the end PLZ?

  • 2:14 is the ba\est part i love the solo!!!

  • Is that a Ibanez RG 570? or 1570?

  • @TensaZangetsu814 I think it's a 570, it was like $800 new.

  • lolcat @ 0:52

  • V helpfull, allround wick

  • is that scalloped fretboard?

  • @prankovalero Yes.. I did it myself.. be careful if you try it on an Ibanez not to go too deep. the neck will warp after a couple years.

  • That is the fuckin shit man

  • awesome cat!! you play ok i guess.... awesome kitty cat tho.

  • Man u are one of the guys i watch up too.

  • Lick #1 sounds like Children of Bodom ...maybe?

  • lol you can see a cat in the backround at 3:20

  • lol m8 i wish i could play like you but i m a beginner i dont even use the last finger hahah

  • @WutangClan4LiF3  Yngwie doesn't use his pinky much...you'll be fine!!! Just Play all the time!

  • @WutangClan4LiF3 yeah, playing without pinky is okay, but my guitar teacher says that he didnt practice playing with his pinky, and now he regrets it because somethings are easier to play with your pinky. He highly recommended me to build up my pinky finger( even though my fingers are really long, and i can easily use my ring finger instead of pinky) just like my other ones. I advise u to do it too

  • I've been playing classical guitar for 3 years now,first i sucked and now im better lol,but first i didnt use my pinky alot,it was weak and very inaccurate,but i practiced and made it perfect...-ish :)

    anyway i got my electric guitar and amp a year ago,and i must say at first i didnt know alot on it,but later,with practice,i began to use my pinky in some cool riffs,anyway what im trying to say is,IF YOU DON'T PRACTICE PLAYING WITH YOUR PINKY,IT WILL HAUNT YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR f***ING LIFE

  • @WutangClan4LiF3 me too dude i  really kinda suck

  • isn't that somethin by malmsteen at the end btw good lesson bro your really good

  • @guitarfreakeddd fire and Ice!! I cannot find it here on the tube though.

    Thanks!

  • @highintel

    it's on youtube now...

  • uh, shred.

  • Dude i play a riff just like the 5th one i want to compare them u need to tab it and let me see it so i can see the differences

  • dude, i been playing 1.5 years. question is, HOW do u get so fast at picking? i am trying metallica's battery solo, and its soo fast. practice lots but doesnt seem to help! any tips?

  • @zuhairreza41 Look up Tremolo picking. Michael B. Angelo has a good video on it called speed kills I think. ...actually it's right there in the related videos.

    Speed Kills Metal Method Guitar lesson DVD. It's not how I learned but it will work I am sure because he is a hell of a lot faster than I am.

  • @zuhairreza41 this will be a good one for you too.

    Guitar Lesson: How to Play Fast Runs On the Guitar, Part 1

  • the tune is from yngwie malmsteen..and the song name is fire and ice..

  • you killing

  • hey when i play kind of semi fast and i know distortion on but is there anyway to avoid hitting strings at all when you play fast. because i sometimes hear my fingers change or hear myself bump into other strings when i'm attempting to go at high speeds or somewhat normal. is there anyway i can practice or technique i can use to decrease sound or is it just natural.

  • crazy stuff. i've learned the first two :) effective as hell

  • Comment removed

  • phew lol you play like a spontaneous reaction, an explosion of notes, but you are so fluent, brilliant stuff

  • hahaha jk i really cant do tht

  • i could do tht

  • Lick 2 is pretty nice, I'll take it to practice... thanks!

  • Friggin' awesome!

  • that was insane!

    btw nice cat ;)

  • Comment removed

  • hey,so after reading the whole string of comments you've gotten for this vid,i just wanted to say wicked job man!i'm pretty much a heavy blues and "slower" player,and only recently have i been trying to play fast licks and such and i don't think some people who've ripped on you have considered that what you did just in your vid probably took alot of hard work to get there.i'm gonna go at it,but i know it's going to take a player like me a while to get there.thanks for some licks to help me out!

  • Thank you very much for that Sas.

    I will be putting up another lesson on different picking for 2 and 3 note per string patterns as well as sweeping technique.

    Enjoy!!

  • Sounds like something by Malmsteen.. can't quite put my finger on it though..

  • can you send me tabs please??? ;D or tabs of the end solo you played ;D and i guess the tuning is in Drop D

  • Could you please put up tabs for a noob like me? :P

  • hey great vid but what kinda amp and what settings

  • Crate  GLX 15 watt on the 3rd delay preset I think.

  • Its an Imro version of paul gilberts scarified is it not?

  • nope

  • Is the tune something by WIntersun?

  • nope

  • The amp sound is lower when you're not playing in the slow vids, and higher in the vids you're playing fast ...speed up videos ?

  • THE AMP SOUND? LOL!

    as in the volume?

    If it were sped up the pitch would be an octave higher. Not the volume.

    No, I didn't speed it up but thanks for the complement ;)

  • Allright, my fail ..shame on me.

    If so ..you're a killer guitar player ! \m/

    Does it take long to play so fast?

  • It can depending on the Regime and your abilities to control your body!

  • O_o I gotta start practicing a LOT more.

  • dude that you so much im learning modes and stuff like dorian, phyrigian and you just open so many doors 4 me :)

  • Where can i take guitar lessons from u ?? Do u do guitar lessons VIA webcam?

  • how many guiters u have 0_0

  • How long have u been playing and how many hours do u practice a day?

  • thank you!!!!

  • this is nice but i aint lear a shit

  • the guitar is ???????

  • Ibanez Rg series

  • How do you like your RG?

    Are those concave frets?

  • nice cat :)

  • nice very clean playing thats what im working towards :] great tone im impressed

  • it's yngvie Malmsteen fire and ice

  • shhhhh.....hehe

  • you r great man !! thnx

  • I taught this guy everything he knows!!

  • are there tabs?:)

  • Yeah this is cool !!

  • was the ending song by yngwie malmsteen? im guessing far beyond the sun i think WAITTTT NOO its fire and ice right?

  • Awesome!

    Not many people heard that album! It was recorded right after he was in a car accident and got nerve damage to his right hand. And his manager ripped him off for like a Million Bucks too. Not his high point but I always liked that song.

  • Thazz it!

    Not his most popular but it was one of my favorite solos of his...well, that part n/e way.

  • lol one of my favorites too did u buy the new album yet? perpetual flame its sick. sad part is im only 16 and i know more than most people about music lol. one of my favorite solos to play is in black star and of course icarus dream

  • Not bad at all. I'd play around with that legato run at 2:20 and keep going up the scale and see how long you can ride it.

  • Thanks....The improv is weak on this vid ( as far as melody)....but I can pretty much ride as long as I need to shred..lol

    Thanks again

  • How does one build up to this speed??? Metronome? Can you give me a quik couple pointers? Thanks in advance. Your playing kicks ass!

  • I love Riff 5 proper top notch

    You are a fucking imense guitarist

  • all speed and no feel...lmfao...says the loser kid at moms computer to the guitar virtuoso. nothing against hendrix or those other guys or whatever, but some people like to hold a note for 10 bars. the art of guitar has long since progressed buddy.

  • improving is some of the easiest shit to do...writing timeless music... thats tough

  • improving is easy... if you have the free time to practice an hour or more every day, which i dont. im with ya as long as your not implying that shredders cant write great music.

  • if you dont know what he's playing LEARN YOUR FUCKING SCALES

  • O my God, ending was killer!!!!

  • there's the cat!! 0:54

  • no, there's 2, look closley

  • is the song "jet to jet" by yngwie malmsteen?

  • im sorry, it might be alcatrazz

  • perfect lesson very nice my hodja congrulations the best lessons here you lessons:D:D:D  ;D

  • Thank you so much! so easy to learn from.

  • good job son !!

  • Fire and Ice??? yea. =]

  • do you have any tabs for the licks, cause in a few of those it was kinda hard to see where your fingers were, even in the slowed down segments, if you do have tabs, please send me a message or reply to this comment at your earliest convenience, thanks.

  • If you can't seen what he's playing, just go by trial and error; you already know the general area, so just use your ears and go with what sounds right. Even if you can't name every note by ear like some crazy guys can, you can still listen and hear what sounds right and what doesn't. It's an important skill to have, especially if you plan to be in a band. Tabs are just a learning tool... you'll have to outgrow them sometime.

  • damn man you rule...how long does it take to learn how to do that. im practicing alot on how but my pinky finger is very weak and its hard and i only end up using three fingers..i use my pinky for chords though

  • Well that was the best improv solo I have ever heard in my LIFEE!! probably the best solo regardless :)

    And this might be the best lesson vid ever.

  • are you sure that was improv!!! who the fuck cares it was genius anyways

  • look at the kitty hhahqaahaah

  • I know in order to have the best true tone is the Guitar and Amp (tube preferably) connection. I'm going to buy a Laney LCR15 soon. As for my pedals I'm still debating on whether i should get a TC Nova System or separate stomp boxes. I'm hoping the amp would bring my guitar to life. And yes I haven't forgotten that the real tone comes from you fingers.

  • I've a question again. I just recently bought and replaced my ibanez S 620EXQM stock pickups with a PAF Joe in the neck and an Evo2 in the bridge hoping that I could get some better harmonics. I play through a Roland Cube 60 and an ME-50 for now. Could this be holding my guitar back on what it is really capable of doing? I think so I just want another opinion

  • helpful

  • nice cat lol jk... that was awsum

  • awsome, well impressed

  • nice ibanez.

  • yngwie xD

  • Yes i guess you might be the next Liberace of our time. You sound like a dime a dozen guitarist.

  • dime a dozen..lol Liberace..OMG Just a guy that LOVES music, the guitar, and wants to help as many people in the process. That's why the videos are free. If you thing you can define my characteristics of playing from this video that's your educated analysis.Just because I play fast doesn't mean I do all the time. You made your point but the dime a dozen is a bit out of line. I never said you are just too stupid to appreciate music like the 24 caprices or Dream theater and so on but, I did now.

  • thanks man ill start using these im my improv and solos

  • of course, the one small riff i was interested in u didnt explain

  • No problem,

    Iam not dissing your talent.

    But you must understand that in 20 yrs no one will no who Malmsteen & people like that are,.

    Or that they played 1000 mph.

    But they will remember Hendrix, BB King,Eric Clapton, Robert Johnston,(still remembered since the 20's.) With blues you have a style & feel that people can recognize. The style you're playing no one would know it's you. It could be anybody. Speed is not what guitar playing is about. It's about character. That's just my opinion.

  • yea, that's why nobody remembers Bach, Vivaldi, or Paganini right? Paganini wrote some of the fastest solos I have ever heard, Vivaldi and Bach did as well. I like my style of music as well as Yngwie, Becker and the rest of the 1000 mph players. Think of it like this> The average IQ is 90 to 100. My IQ ranges on tests from 133 to 147 depending on the test. I am not the average person so why would I relate to what the average person likes to listen to.Blues does nothing for me.but I do respect it

  • you think no one will remember genre defining guitarists like becker or yngwie in 20 years? do you know how many people pick up the guitar because they have been inspired by these guitarists? take a look on youtube and count the millions of videos paid in tribute. dude you are clearly just making a claim based on your dislike for this genre... all the sickest shredders combine speed and feeling... if you think that guys like becker, or malmsteen have no character, then you are just deaf.

  • Well spoken! 5 stars...hehe!

  • It's off the Fire and Ice lp by Yngwie, can't remeber the song. I could get up and walk into the den and look at my lp collection but that would require me getting off my ass and I don't see that in my near future!

  • HAHA! About time! Yes, the song is Fire and Ice.

    :)

  • hotlegss, don't assume that FAST=NO FEEL! That's IGNORANT! Yngwie & highintel play with TONS of feel & emotion! Do you realize how shallow it is to claim that ONLY BLUES players have feel AND that FAST PLAYERS don't have feel? Brian (highintel) spends 10 hrs/day playing/practicing guitar, and finds time to help others. You said that GUITAR is about CHARACTER & FEEL. Well, Brian is loaded with both, A-hole!! What do you do 10 hrs/day besides spew cliched vitriol at someone who deserves better?

  • Sounds like Malmsteen.

    You have to learn some feel.

    Blues is more soulful.

    Those type of riffs get boring fast.

  • Interesting...It's up to you how you use these riffs. A good musician can make even the most "Boring riffs" sound interesting. The improve section of this video sucks I have to say. I was thinking too hard or something. Has as you say "no feeling". I'll probably redo it when I have time. It was kind of an off day. I don't enjoy blues though.

    Thanks anyway, any feedback is good :)
