questo e' veramente il piu gaggio di tutti...

sta gente che si riprende mettendola come se fossero delle star...

se voglio vedere una spiegazione a sto punto mi vedo paul gilbert,visto che fai le sue stesse cose...

@foreverhoads English!! Do You Speak It??

[SixStringSamuri666]

hey remy have a question about your thumb does it move ? it seems like it moves along with your wrist ? also for the right hand mechanics, say your doing a 3 note pattern on the 5 fret low E string , when moving your right hand do you release the 5th fret note after fretting the 7th note or do you let the finger rest on the 5th fret?

[remyhansen]

Hey there,

Can you be more specific?

Send me a PM please.

[xyrzbat]

Remy!

A quick question.

Do you anchor your wrist on the bridge when you play?

[remyhansen]

I Always anchor on my Bridge!

But I don't mute the strings all the time:-)

Does masturbation help wrist acceleration?

Another thing the the greats tell about speed picking is in order to pick fast you have to start off slow. How do you think you would be able to pick a lick fast if you can't even pick it slow? Another thing to sync the hands together is a metronome. Above all practice!! These guys weren't born picking fast they started off just like you and me.

My wrist was also locked severly in the past because i played my patterns exersises far to much on beat now i place everything off beat.Another big mistake i made was to practise different patterns to much isolated from eachother now i mix them up in syncopation.Damnation my guitarteacher couldn,t learn me this and the conseratory either.

[GalihVSGodzilla]

nice lesson dude!! one question, how to get Paul Gilbert sound?? I mean the amp setting. Thanks a lot!

[1withguitar]

holy shit. glasgow kiss dude your fucking awesome.

@Gactivefy don't tense up when picking, just relax.

[nergalk]

so much fluff, so little information; Great playing though but could've used a better instructional. I call redo!

[faridzayish]

what pick u use?

[exatone]

@foreverhoads si, hai ragione...però e' anche vero che lui può dare dei consigli perchè cazzo va davvero come un treno e soprattutto riesce ad avere lo stesso suono di gilbert cosa nn facile..e poi è incoraggiante pensare che ci si può arrivare senza andare a lezione da Paoletto!!!

So I discovered i was picking with wrong technique the past 8 years after watching some paul gilbert myself.. and its a bitch to completely switch and build speed all over again. I can pick 16th notes accurately with wrist only but any quicker my forearm starts to get involved... how do you move your damn wrist that fast

[TheTom5150]

Hey there! Paul Gilbert is one of my favorite guitar players, and you totally have the same wrist action that he does. I see how its done, yet my arm still wants to fly all over and yea it does get sore and the sound is somewhat sloppy. I can pick 32nd notes at around 120 but the elbow and forearm tire out pretty quick. How did you train your right arm to stay in place and transfer all the picking motion just to the wrist?

14 dislikes? wtf?
