  • Emilio Estevez... can PLAY.

  • @TheLastAbacus Never been compared to him but that's a good one...lol!

  • Something that I've always wondered is which muscles/movements do you use when you pick the string? What I mean by that is do you "rotate" the wrist/forearm, or do you move it back and forth kind of like a computer mouse?

  • @nuclearmass Good question. I'd say more like a mouse if you want to use that analogy. It's a slight movement when done in a more refined way but I find that I change it up depending on what type of sound I want. I used to just do it one way but the longer I play the more I want variety, and that requires varying techniques.

  • hey did you made

    cult of personality remake?? D:

  • @keny21051995 No, I believe that was Wavegroup.

  • what about speed picking on thicker strings? same technique? I can't imagine you being able to use you finger as a guide on the 6th string

  • Dang

  • Thank you. You're so amazing..I've been subscribed to you since 09. I've always had a rough time trying to speed pick and sweep pick. Also wondering if it matters if I hold a guitar pick with 3 fingers or with 2 fingers or even if that makes a difference if you see this by chance? I've been using 3 since I started playing guitar and it's been a habit for me.

  • @SteveOuimette Hey thanks Steve.  :)

  • Steve, I need some tips on buying a new amp. I don't want something super expensive, but I want something with a lot of crunch to it. To be descriptive, I want one that sounds like the one you have in this video. What amp do you use?

  • @SteveOuimette

    thankyou

    byhe way

    you're awesome!!!
