    Thick vs thin picks

    Thanks syn, For the while I am continuing to experiment with a range of thicknesses and some signature picks as well because more often then not I try and force myself to get used to a certain pick but I always try and ignore that thought in the back of my mind that perhaps it isn’t the right...

    Commenting On Riffs. You Can Still Do It + Student Project :)

    I would love to do it but I am a perfectionist and usually only upload the best I can so it will be hard for me personally to upload something I am not 100% happy with

    3-1-3 economy picking

    I too often play with my thumb wrapped for 98% of my playing but my hands seem to be quite small so trying to wrap my thumb while being able to stretch 3-5-7 can be really difficult but I will try that method and see if I can grt any results out of it.

    3-1-3 economy picking

    I have been practising economy picking almost soley every time I pick up a guitar and when I stop I get a lot of pain in my hand and I suspect it is because I am playing with my thumb behind the neck for a long time. Any suggestions on how to reduce this?

    Mistakes

    It’s great you are confident enough to show your mistakes, that is the beauty of this school, you can share mistakes in a place where no one will criticize you. Never be scared of messing it up, even syn messes up at times.

    3-1-3 economy picking

    Okay! Here is part one of many on how to economy pick. This is the G major first position. All I would like you to do so far is just to play the first 4 strings as this uses the same fingering and you don’t need to move your hand position. The video contains quater notes and eight notes. I...

    Thick vs thin picks

    Hey Steven, in regards to the string gauges there isn’t much I can do as my guitar is set up for 9s out the box and with a Floyd it causes the neck to bow so I use. Do truss rod adjustments sort out the bowing when using thicker strings. Josh, I did use that quite a bit but I tried out thinner...

    NEW TSHIRTS ARE OUT!!!

    Inflection is huge for me, i am not great at playing fast (I mainly play bluesy with some sweeps thrown in) so why not take that as something great? Playing fast isn’t everything and even though I would love to be able to shred like syn, papa G and others It is always important to make things...

    I have managed to sort the problem out, it was to do with the placement of my first finger behind the pick so its just muscle memory from here
