  • 7:07 can someone explain this part for me? I have everything down minus this part because I don’t know how to play the seven on the high E if I have my finger on the low E already…????️????????️

  • I'm Brazilian. An amateur guitarist. Although it doesn't make any difference, somehow, without explanation or intention, I feel grateful to know that you and your brilliant music exist. It breaks barriers! It breaks down social differences and removes, in some way, the limits that "irrationally" differentiate us as people and as a society…

  • i will not lie, i havent seen videos or heard him speak. so when he talked it threw me for a loop cause i didnt expect a highish voice from him. but other than that awesome playing

  • Does anyone else have the weird problem of being able to move your pinky through index finger really fast, but struggles to do it from index to pinky? I can play down descending stuff very fast, but ascending stuff feels like I’m trying to ride a skateboard switch for the second time

  • Theres people who can play but cant teach. People can teach but not play as well. But he can do both. learned very quickly through his clear instructions. His little pointers went a long way

  • Probably a stupid question: but on all these vids using this technique, when using the plucking fingers are you using the pads of your fingers or using the nails of the fingers?

  • oh formulas
    i dont really use "trusty patterns" i learned ascending and descending intervals, greek modes, and roman numerals
    then i make excercises out that trying to come up with different variations/arpeggios,

    i try to do it while playing and not before or after trying to "write or think up" something cool sounding. i set up a progression and a rhythm and make absolute sure to get into a groove before trying to practice weird variations so that its all musically contextual

    sorry you make fun videos but, this, and all the fans i meet playing goat or whatever just, sit there practicing techniques and gimmicks, but not the cut and dry stuff. making the songs sound hard, but not actually be too hard is kinda…….

    enjoy adding beats to your music and being tik tok famous, i hope the turrets bops gets better soon,

    remember, doesnt matter what you play, just get a hipster strumming pattern (what you call pattern i call basic, basic rhythm structure. 1 e and a 2 e and a etc

    play only the e and the a while the band is going, if you cant do that stop sweep picking in your room lol
