Guitarchampions,
In the last couple of weeks I sat down with a surgeon and a physiotherapist to fully analyze, what the heck is actually going on while SPEEDPICKING.
And therefore I created this 1 hour long video, where I try to answer most of the common questions about the SPEEDPICKING motion.
I'm also talking about:
-Pickslanting
-Muting
-Practice Ideas
and more more more...
This was a lot of work, while I'm working on my next "ZEN OF...." course.
So please, share this video, leave a comment, leave a like and have fun working through one of my longest and biggest videos.
Thank you for your support.
Cheers and stay #progress

Guitarchampions!
I hope you have a lot of fun working through this big video.
If you have any questions feel free to share it in the comment section. I soon will make a Q&A about speedpicking and planing to do an interview with Ben the surgeon.

It is INSANE that this is free content. Thank you!

[brownwestmoreland]

I can't believe you're giving out such good information. I teach guitar and I change a ton for what you're telling everyone for free. You're awesome brother, I understand why you're doing this. It's because you want to help people play guitar well. And you're a very good person yourself.

[mindmagicfilms]

Absolutely incredible! Your teaching skills are just as good as your playing. (Which says a lot!) Thank you for your kind contribution to all of us struggling to speed pick without the continued suffering. 🙏

[agusless]

Men, you are certainly the Solaire of guitar playing. Thank you for doing this video and for releasing all this knowledge for free. Also, something that helped me in my way to get faster is learning or practicing with songs that I like. It keeps your attention around the instrument and the exercise you are focusing on.

[bennryan]

Of the multitude of videos, books, etc, your explanation here is the BEST! Others leave out important details and you end up stuck confused. Thanks man!!!

Hey that’s me back there with Andy Wood about 6 seconds in!

I thank you my German friend. This is the most helpful video I've discovered in helping picking speed (trust me, I've watched A LOT of videos on the topic). You cover basically every question I have about picking--wrist motion, where to rest the wrist, how to hold the pick, grip strength, how to deal with injuries, etc.

Just based off your tips alone, I found that my fasted speed is sixteenth notes around 200bpm. Before taking your advice, I had trouble maintaining sixteenth notes at 120 without my bicep tensing up. I'm not sure exactly what changed based on the advice given in this video, but the clarity on holding the pick most definitely helped. Once again, thank

[neykur]

The most detailed explanation of speedpicking I've ever seen.
Thanks a lot for your work!

[danjohnstonguitar]

This is FANTASTIC and thorough advice, all of the way through! Thanks for posting this. It's always helpful to see something from someone else's perspective, too.

[northernlefty]

Dude thanks so much! This is the kind of stuff a lot of us are looking for and the quality here is stellar. Keep up the awesome work!

[dylansmith]

Hands down one of the most in-depth videos I've seen on this topic! Thank you for making such amazing content!

[twoputt]

This has more useful information than any "master class" every teacher is trying to sell us. I especially appreciate the pick slanting info. I always thought of it as one or the other. Never even considered combining both. Going to watch that video now. Thanks

[sixxtrip]

Half way through this video and it already helped me tremendously. Especially with the Paul Gilbert picking technique. Thanks a ton!

[EL_DUDERIN]

Just randomly came across this in my feed, and ended up watching the whole hour. Congratulations, that is very rare!
Great content and great presentation style.
I've watched some Troy Grady on pick slanting, but for some reason it didn't jive to much with me until you explained the odd/even simply like you did.
And also, I think that the pick slanting is certainly the final trick I needed to nail the arpeggio section in Altitudes. ;)

[rooskadoodle]

Thank you so much for breaking down all these physical variables involved in picking so I can start to recognize and break down my bad habits when building speed

[AlexGLuque]

Pure gold. Thank you so much for this. You deserve every penny.

[chemicle]

What a great way of explaining this Justin. Thank you for this - it's helped out an old guitar player trying to learn some speed picking - well done - "Subscribed".

[danmercer]

Hi, I stumbled across your video while looking for right hand speed techniques. I’ve been playing 50 plus years and unfortunately have bigger hands so the right hand just couldn’t sync correctly. After watching your video I’ve been practicing some of your techniques for a week now and have found I’ve made some good strides. Still a long way to go but wanted to thank you personally for your video. It has helped a lot. I will keep working everyday to develop even half your speed. Take care.

Justin, Thank you for the free info and practice downloads! I loved this lesson, I can actually feel the difference in my picking with just that little bit of advice regarding how to hold the pick correctly. I can only imagine with some practice, how well that will work out.
