  • Moral of the story if you can play it slow you can play it fast, but isn't that what all professional music teachers tell you?

  • Your videos have helped me out a lot. Thank you for the tips I couldn’t afford classes and been. Teaching myself for 30. Years and feel like I’m not going anywhere.

  • Great vid, completely blew my mind. Half the comment section is braindead lmao. Imagine thinking an 8 minute vid takes too long to get to the point.

  • Thanks for some great tips for conditioning. Hey I love this guy but I gotta take the piss in a no offence intended way..
    he is, to analogies, what metaphors are to similes..
    it's like if you had Aristotle over here but
    only Plato was able to hear from a distance because Archimedes was not near enough to a water source that Pythagoras had etc. nah he's not that bad but..
    could definitely improve,
    over time,
    with some handy analogous exercises..
    like if a mouse was on treadmill next to a sloth but the speed setting weren't different so..

  • So then how would you go about incorporating microgoals into this when everything is so fragmented in a sense? I dont really know how to apply this while using the microgoal method you explained previously.

  • I feel like I could teach this subject alot better. Straight to the point but explanation of how this technique works and the benefits of it.

    He really spent like three minutes talking about spaghetti and cooking the noodles when I have time. He lost me after the second time he brought up the spaghetti

  • Geez. I had a hard time watching the whole video before i made my comments.
    1. You spent WAY too much time with your spaghetti cooking analogy. You could've skipped a lot of it. Same with a few other parts.
    2. I whole-heartily disagree with using distortion (or any effects) when trying to learn to play faster, mute string noise, coordinate hands…pretty much all those things. A clean sounds is the ONLY way to practice.
    The playing unplugged when building strength doing pull-offs is a good idea.
    Overall, your recommendation is good. However, i would add the following:
    When someone is starting out, or even just working on basic techniques like legato, it is VERY helpful to practice them many times per day for short periods. So, if at all possible, they should have the guitar where it's handy to grab and play, even for 1 or 2 minutes at a time, then put it down and do something else. But it's also important to try to stop after you've done the technique successfully, or at least better than you have before, i.e., made improvement.
    That's how our brains work when building motor skills.
    Overall, you've got good ideas, but you need to ditch the distortion when you're learning!
    That sound you had on your guitar when you demonstrated sounded really muddy. Did you do that on purpose, so we couldn't hear all your crappy technique? (Lol)
    Thanks!

  • PLEASE STOP with analogies! It's distracting and now i have to gather word pictures on a whole different topic. I"M HERE, ready to learn, you don't have to convince me, and your word pictures using things like spaghetti just derail some of us.

  • You sure crammed a lot into an 8 minute video. Subbed up, will be applying your methods to my routine.
