This shit is hypnotic! I find if I stare at the screen saver on my laptop while I do this, there's a certain zen element to practice. Your fingers take over and your imagine drifts away....
Practicing these drills are the highlight of my day :-)
LOL!! After viewing a thousand videos on how to get good at the guitar I finally found someone who tells it like it is! You are a very, very good teacher and I'm sure that your students that listen to you are fantastic guitarists. Thank you for the all the info!!
Thank you very much for motivating me to focus on technique. By the way did you teach Buckethead these techniques when you taught him? Was there anything specific that you taught him? Again thanks a lot
Yes BigBadWill Stetson rulez! Thank you. Robinson, whom Segovia call "one of the greatest guitarists of our times". Ric Cobo, a great player but a shitty teacher. Blanchard, who introduced me to the likes of Corea, Gambale etc. Rock ON.
As a professional guitarist, and more to my strength a guitar professor, I wanted to, at the most humble level, share some things with you. These are concepts, discovered as most things in life, through self-exploration. Sure some were things I picked up from fellow professors, and other musicians, but in the end one has to grasp and except concepts. Music is a field ripe with that truth.
Practice makes perfect! How do you get to Carnegie Hall.... are still the most resonating statements in music. However, a more accurate way of saying this would be; "practice makes permanent". I address this because of your analogy of going from frozen to ice cold, which instills the need for repetition. Although a classical guitarist by profession, I am really a rock/fusion player by nature.
This was all due to the way he practiced. When watching your video, you hit the nail on the head when you said "only play it as fast as you can accurately". However, after a few seconds you were going at a speed that was uneven tone and not as accurate as you had just played it. Why, because you left the speed at which you could play it perfectly. At that point what you are doing is practicing mistakes. Never go faster than you would want it to be on a cd.
I am gonna start watching this video everyday and try to keep up with the video and push even further. Hopefully by November I'll be suckish and not terrible.
hahaha this lesson is comedy gold, im a drummer and im practicing guitar aswell. Will do same thing (single strokes) for a good 10 mins after this. I cannot imagine my teacher saying the prep quotes XD "don't like it... don't complain to me you suck"
@diveplane I purposely avoid that at all times. I dont discuss PICKS, STRINGS or AMPS at all. Everyone has their own opinions and I dont want to engage in any way shape or form whatsoever with any kind of discussion on any of that. Sorry.
@pebberbrown Thank you so so much for an HOUR of material! That's phat mate! I went from laughing at your attitude to being utterly awed. Thank you so much. I wished just at the beginning that you would talk about the right way to hold the pick and what could go wrong because I didn't want to perfect a bad habit, but there are tones of videos on that even possibly on your channel. I've downloaded this video. Just one question, I've seen quite a few articles that talk about a 3day routine unlike
Hi, mr PB , i use alternate picking with my wrist, you are teaching to pick like your style, is it correct if i'll do exercises with my alternate picking technique picking by wrist? ( p.s. sorry for my poor english skills ) :)
Hey Pebber thanks for the free lessons! I've been doing your daily practice routine for 3 weeks now not missing a day. I'm up to 8 mins scapel picking on each string and every day its increasing. Thanks again
Hi Pebber, thank you very much for these videos. Its really amazing you putting these on here for everyone to use.
One question though. How would you go about increasing your picking speed? I can pick 16th notes at 110bpm (I know "I suck"), but after that it just falls apart. This is just picking the open string all right hand. Any advise would be fantastic. Many thanks.
Pebber, all the practice is going well, down picking up from 110 bpm to 138 great. But when I leanr a song with a down/up/down strum, i start from scratch. Is this just interjecting a new pattern, which I accept. I thought the scalpel picking would have helped. So, every new pattern requires slow to a build up? correct?Thanks, you have been a great help
Oi Pete Ive been doing this since yesterday... 8 hours yesterday and around 12 today.. i still fucking suck and it feels even better than when i think im good !
Mr. Pebber Brown, You sir have spoken truth that is true for 90% of todays generation of kids. To master anything one must dedicate themselves to it completely. The world is so full of shit because no one wants to work hard for anything. Thank you for the lessons.
Tom Hess says that you should practice a lot of things at once, NOT perfect areas and move on, which is the opposite of what you teach. Both of you guys are great at what you do. Who is right?
Hey, you've got him beat in the gnarly facial hair department, I must say...LOL
Seriously, though...when teachers give conflicting information like this, I guess the student's only option would be to pick which guitar player whose playing,technique and musicality he admires better and trust in him/her.
@pebberbrown I agree, but in this case you two are in total conflict...one says practice a lot at once, the other says practice one thing at a time then move on....its kind of tough to include both concepts when they are opposite one another.
@krelbar Well its like going to college. You can take 5 classes and spread your time out very thinly and really never get a good handle on any one subject or you can write ONE dissertation as an independent study and spend all your time doing ONE thing and completely master it get it down. Tom Hess doesnt have any really advanced students as testimonials and I do. Do whatever you want, but in the end think about how a Kung Fu master teaches his students. Tom Hess just collects money.
I am 47 years old and never picked up the guitar till now.Thank you Pebber for your invaluable lessons you put up for free for all of us.I don't know if I will ever be any good at this but at least everything I need is there for the taking thanks to you help.
Hhaha, i would love to be take lessons from you. I've received lessons from Jeff Frater, you might remember him from Kung fu san soo. He taught from alot of the guitar wisdom you gave him.
Hi Pebber, just want to say a quick thanks for providing such a huge wealth of free information for us guitar players. You have helped me with my guitar play tremendously as I now know how to practice efficiently instead of wandering around aimlessly.
great videos and lessons! A few quick questions: suppose I only have like two hours to practice some days, which modules would you say are the most important to tackle on those days where my practice time is limited? Or do you think it would be better to vary up the ones I do and don't do on those days? is it possible to do all the modules in a two hour session and still get the most out of each exercise?
@pebberbrown Thank you! I did check them out--got the answers I needed. Man that ladder exercise with the first two fingers anchored is intense. Love it. Thanks again for the help.
Man... I just stumbled across your channel, and all I can say is thank you. You're an awesome player, teacher, and I dig the sarcasm (seriously). All I can ask is please keep the stuff coming, even though it will probably take me years to wade through what you already put up. I really do want to improve, I do practice a lot, and I think your stuff will help me keep the material consitent. Keep rocking, thanks again.
I've been doing this everyday since the video was uploaded for the full 1 hour 38 minutes and I can seriously see big improvements. Thank you very much for the video Pebber and I can't wait for the next installment.
Simply awesome. Thanks a lot. I'm arrived at the exercise at 0:27:00 and I'm having some difficulties: now I practised it for about 10 minutes, but after I bit I loose the rhythm and I play it wrong. Can you give me any suggestion please?
@pebberbrown i cant believe that comment.. sometimes i think, that these guys dont understand one word you say.. 10 minutes. :-D by the way: the x-pattern remindes me of a 6/8 king crimson song.. :)
@111111222223 you could but id learn a few chords first and get a hang of actually fretting the strings correctly and get used to picking. also learn the major scale everywhere. this is actually slightly advanced for people who've never played the instrument
... i start every guitar-session with this video (fucking 23 minutes! )and listen to your wise words, because i am a sportsinstructor and have the "same problems" with my students, who want become a champ quick, quick.
@smkonwater23 Only those who can get past the instant gratification mindset will ever amount to anything. Getting good at something requires a level of dedication that most do not posess even though almost everyone on here thinks they do.
This is why I post the videos in long format now - the losers cant even follow allong for more than a few minutes and the winners watch them to the end. Seems to weed out most of the knuckleheads right away.
@19NICOLE78 if u start guitar now and found the most amazing teacher on YouTube ....then dont be afraid!!!! Most people get started with the retarded expert village....same here xD but when i found Pebber around 2 years ago i really burn my life in practicing in 8-12 hours a day!!! ..................And no im not a commercial xDD Good luck dude!
I drive my mother and brother crazy doing this exercise. I stick with it, though. I always watch this video when I do it, but I dunno whether that's good or bad. It makes it more tolerable to feel like I'm sitting down and doing this with PB, and the idle talk helps me relax.
"These exercises", I should say. It's the "picking one string for X number of minutes" one that drives my family crazy, so I had it on the mind, hehe.
@devilmaylol You can wrap a sock around the neck an no one will hear it at all and you will still feel the string with the same tension so you can do the exercises while family members want to watch TV etc. Try it!
I hope you are having a nice day. I am on day 2 of this, and it occurs to me that this particular module doesn't use a metronome. Is that by design, or do you sometimes use a metronome and sometimes not? I noticed that it is easier to focus on the actual mechanics of the right-hand when not using a metronome. Thx again for the vid.
BTW, I was using the coffee-cup method exactly as prescribed, and found it to be extremely effective!
This is some sweet no bullshit teaching. Anybody who bitches has never had to work hard for a thing in their lives, has no passion, and has no focus (and has never had someone do them the _favor_ of kicking their asses into shape). Thank you Mr. Brown. Thank you very much.
Dude, this is the best video in youtube ever =) It's so great how you just tell the truth and don't give false hopes. Most people just don't understand what you got to do to get good!
@Pierceher Ahhh...yes! You know what? I was in a very bad mood that day, and my comments were made without putting much thought into them. I apologize about using those words, and I hope that you were not personally offended.
How can you hate a guy like Pebber? He puts in tremendous effort and gives it away for free! I didn´t know people like him exist anymore! I say it again: For free, for free, for free....but I can see why somebody would hate that - opening one´s eyes to the reality of how we really play can be painful - but if we want to learn and grow - I guess we have to face that. People have been nailed to a cross for speaking the truth...
@StigandStigmatic And your 18? When Brian Carroll was 18 he could blow circles around you. Hell when he picked up my bass and slapped it, it sounded like something. Are you just looking for attention, reaction, both or what? Come on smart ass let's put you up against Pebber on my stage.
@StigandStigmatic HAHA, Pebber can play circles around you....he is hands down the BEST guitar teacher on the net... you probably are too lazy to even watch the entire video. :P
@jimiclaptoncarl18 It makes me wonder where all this hate comes from. I pust these up here for FREE for all YOU GUYS. I really could care less about promotinmg myself and I dont have any fantasies about "He thinks he's better than he is" thats why I practiced all day for many hours - because we all suck in our own way and we all know what we need to work on. These practices videos are just exemples of how pros do it. Everyone can benefit if they stop hating me.
@jimiclaptoncarl18 From watching his videos on his page - I can say that he would be a likely candidate who could IMMENSELY benefit from my lessons. Where his attitude comes from I have no idea - I didnt comment on his stuff or do anything to him.
@stretch1973 First, dont listento anything that anyone who is 17 years old says. Second, you have to guage your own level. I put this one up just so people could get a feel for what a simulation of what a practice session could be for anyone who aspires to be professional. Most real pros practice for hours on end and most amateurs literally have NO idea how much it hurts to do that - so thats why this is here - because it takes many many hours a day to become a pro player.
omg.....i think u used suck word 10000 times here...
great tutorial.....this is the first time i saw ne of ur videos....
i must say u r awesome......
great lesson.....

non-bullshit truth. I can't tell you

taking the time to present this in
real time. I could not find a part

with enjoyment. Kudos to you.

Your dedication to the instrument,
understanding the time, effort,

have. One can not say enough good
things about that!

As a founding member of the Stetson
Guitar Quartet, I sat second chair
with a young man Andrew Linton on the
first part. Although, my instructors
taught me many things I really learned
how to practice from him. Even though
I did not realize it until later in my
career.
paulandlesson 6 months ago
paulandlesson 6 months ago
Whenever the SGQ was promoting a show,
we would always have Andrew, do the
radio spot for promotion of the event. The reason was because he could play
for example Carcassi #7 just about as
well as any guitarists in the world.
The amazing thing was that you could
listen to him play it after a day of
practicing, and then have him play it
when he first woke up and it was just
as spot on.
paulandlesson 6 months ago
paulandlesson 6 months ago
The other thought I had was that you
keep re-enforcing the fact that we are
doing "picking or right hand
practice". Practice should never be
one faceted. While working the right
hand, you can also be practicing
dynamics, left hand finger placement,
crescendos etc. This also serves to
keep a player disciplined, and only
playing at that perfect pace.

As I said these are thoughts given with great humility and respect. I wanted to share them with you, as your charisma is bringing the masses to you.
I may just be another one of the "nitwits" and a dick. I hope you don't take that from this. I am now a big fan. All the best. P.N

great video!! it really helped me already after a few days! now i just have to stick to it.
but is there a way to get all of the modules? like as a document for printing out?

smkonwater23 1 year ago
@smkonwater23 Only those who can get past the instant gratification mindset will ever amount to anything. Getting good at something requires a level of dedication that most do not posess even though almost everyone on here thinks they do.
This is why I post the videos in long format now - the losers cant even follow allong for more than a few minutes and the winners watch them to the end. Seems to weed out most of the knuckleheads right away.

Dude, this is awesome. It's like a more intense version of Frank Gambale's Chop Builder.
Are you gonna do the other modules? It would be greatly appreciated I'm sure.

I drive my mother and brother crazy doing this exercise. I stick with it, though. I always watch this video when I do it, but I dunno whether that's good or bad. It makes it more tolerable to feel like I'm sitting down and doing this with PB, and the idle talk helps me relax.

"These exercises", I should say. It's the "picking one string for X number of minutes" one that drives my family crazy, so I had it on the mind, hehe.
devilmaylol 1 year ago
@devilmaylol You can wrap a sock around the neck an no one will hear it at all and you will still feel the string with the same tension so you can do the exercises while family members want to watch TV etc. Try it!

Hi Pebber,
I hope you are having a nice day. I am on day 2 of this, and it occurs to me that this particular module doesn't use a metronome. Is that by design, or do you sometimes use a metronome and sometimes not? I noticed that it is easier to focus on the actual mechanics of the right-hand when not using a metronome. Thx again for the vid.
BTW, I was using the coffee-cup method exactly as prescribed, and found it to be extremely effective!

How can you hate a guy like Pebber? He puts in tremendous effort and gives it away for free! I didn´t know people like him exist anymore! I say it again: For free, for free, for free....but I can see why somebody would hate that - opening one´s eyes to the reality of how we really play can be painful - but if we want to learn and grow - I guess we have to face that. People have been nailed to a cross for speaking the truth...

@StigandStigmatic And your 18? When Brian Carroll was 18 he could blow circles around you. Hell when he picked up my bass and slapped it, it sounded like something. Are you just looking for attention, reaction, both or what? Come on smart ass let's put you up against Pebber on my stage.

jimiclaptoncarl18 1 year ago
@jimiclaptoncarl18 It makes me wonder where all this hate comes from. I pust these up here for FREE for all YOU GUYS. I really could care less about promotinmg myself and I dont have any fantasies about "He thinks he's better than he is" thats why I practiced all day for many hours - because we all suck in our own way and we all know what we need to work on. These practices videos are just exemples of how pros do it. Everyone can benefit if they stop hating me.
pebberbrown 1 year ago
@jimiclaptoncarl18 From watching his videos on his page - I can say that he would be a likely candidate who could IMMENSELY benefit from my lessons. Where his attitude comes from I have no idea - I didnt comment on his stuff or do anything to him.

overuse/strain - I meant to say
stretch1973 1 year ago
Apologies if you deal with this in one of your videos, or in this one but I haven't got there yet - my question is:-
How do you make sure not to overuse strain your hands and forearms?
stretch1973 1 year ago
@stretch1973 First, dont listento anything that anyone who is 17 years old says. Second, you have to guage your own level. I put this one up just so people could get a feel for what a simulation of what a practice session could be for anyone who aspires to be professional. Most real pros practice for hours on end and most amateurs literally have NO idea how much it hurts to do that - so thats why this is here - because it takes many many hours a day to become a pro player.
