I've been playing almost 40 years and I knew something was missing as far as my right hand technique but I wasn't sure what to do. I just tried your method and I think it is great. Thanks a bunch mate. Hope that one day soon you play in Middle Georgia, USA. I'll be in the front row.

Wow, young lad teaches us older players some excellent tips. I'm impressed. I'm going to take those techniques and use them in my playing. Many thanks.

@faridzayish how did you go?

[IZackyVengeanceI]

Thanks for the tips, i held my pick exactly like you did before and i always noticed i was sloppy with it and had massive trouble when i tried to play speed parts! but now that im holding the pick like you said im ALOT less sloppy and its made the sound more smooth when i play! keep up the vids man

i just realized ever since i started playing I've picked like that.

[rasputozen]

really helpful, thanks a lot for making this!

[faridzayish]

i'll apply your "non-anchoring" technique, will be trying that for couple weeks, then i'll hit u back ;)

@benwilshire hey man, i hold the pick about halfway between the way you used to, and the method you use now. but i use mostly motion from my index and thumb instead of moving my wrist, problem is i max out around 145bpm and i have been for awhile. am i going to need to change to doing this or never get any better? its hard because the way im used to doing it is totally different.

You are an awesome shredder! Thanks for the tips...I agree with you on the pick holding technique and I agree the anchoring can slow you down as well.. Nice shredding!
