Why must there be douche bags on YouTube who must argue about every video that gets posted......or...my personal favorite...saying that the video is a fake. WTF! There's always someone who knows more or thinks their technique is better. I think it's just jealousy that they didn't think of posting something first. Get over it and realize that there are people who appreciate it, regardless of your douchebag opinion. Get a life!

@dirtyolcanyanero Don't worry about the speed. You'll find it'll just come out of nowhere. Concentrate on your technique and keeping relaxed and loose. Don't get frustrated that you can't play fast enough, just work on tone and precision etc. - work slow then gradually faster, and then one day you'll notice you're gradually gaining speed. Post back here in 6 months and let us know how you're getting on!

Thanks for the video- I've been trying to find youtube vids of slower technique, but I can't quite find anything that really shows what the right hand is doing. Yours was very clear. Thank you!
