Amazing video, thanks so much. I have a quick question though, what's the advantage of using two thumb strokes, rather than thumb-ring-middle-index? I'm a classical guitarist and I just find that a lot easier.

@IxxsuffocatexxI Thanks:) There's no advantage with 2 thumb strokes as opposed to thumb-ring-middle-index unless maybe you were doing groups of five but of course it wouldn't be mandatory for thumb strokes for that either. The up and down with the thumb is cause the lesson is based off a Tosin Abasi technique and that's how he approaches it but yeah there's a few different possibilities.

Good job, but eliminate the ring finger strokes. Its all sextuplets (6 notes per beat). Nice Agile!

@BenEllerGuitars Thank you:)

@CrisQguitar why are you afraid? don't be scared homie! Awesome video

@AlecW1234 Yeah looking back I wish I would waited to make this vid cause I'm much better at this technique now than I was a few months back. I've had months of practice now but at this point I'd had maybe less than a month. Thanks:)

@shagfish

I'd like that link.

Great job btw; anyone can shred, but this is a less common technique to be good at and you can play it almost totally cleanly. I'm impressed.

@CrisQguitar That would be good advice if this vid was called "How to play like Victor Wooten" but this video is about a technique that Tosin Abasi uses and I learned it from a video here on you tube. I know this technique originally came from Wooten but Abasi put his on spin on it and this is it. If you'd like a link to the vid I learned this technique from let me know.
