[jewelfewel]

when he plays it slow, it seems like he's phrasing the notes alot differently. when you speed up his slow phrasing it doesnt sound like the finished product at all

[Guitartricks]

the slowed down version is to show the picking pattern, not the necessarily the phrasing.

Thanks for watching!

@Guitartricks it was throwing me off a bit, but i got it. thanks for the lesson!

[Guitartricks]

@jewelfewel Cool! glad it worked out. Same pattern as Dust in the Wind by Kansas

Could one of your next videos talk about blues scales and different ways you could use them in a song?

[Guitartricks]

this is a good request, we've been getting a lot of requests on scales/leads lately.

If you like this you GOT TO check out Tommy Emmanuel :) He must be the most amazing guitar player in the world in so many ways and he's a major inspiration :) And if you like Tommy you should check out Joe Robinson (19 years old, winner of Australia Got Talent) :) Great guitarist and composer and my biggest inspiration :)

Sounds really similar to the technique that Elliott Smith uses on 'Somebody I Used To Know'

[LibreEspiritu]

it sounds much diffferent when I play it at my 'fast' pace, then when you do.....so what am I doing wrong?? ....I think someone else on here said it was 'phrasing' -- so is there anyay you can show how to do that ??? I can barely hear the last note when u play it fast...am I confused??

[Narutoxbleach503]

Whats a good way ti get your fingers used to this?
