"Now I am going to 'TRY' to play it faster"- joke of the year, by Jason Richardson.

Picking perfection, I think Jason Richardson has one of the best picking techniques imo, that's why he can play super clean at high speed. Thanks for the lesson. Just bought many things from your website.

His picking efficiency has always been the most impressive thing to me about his playing. Yeah the fretting hand is important too, but for me the picking hand is always the most important

Would love to see JR and Troy Grady breaking down his ultra high speed picking action

[Awix]

I remember seeing that dude when he was still a teenager playing for All Shall Perish in a small place in Belgium. I had my face 30cm away from his guitar, it was amazing to say the least.

Jason has became one of my favs recently since watching the live show video on YT of him and his drummer buddy ...just really blew me away

[SharksInYourMouth]

Jason - now I’m gonna play it slow
His fingers - YES

[jetklaatu]

You have Petrucci to thank for all of these new guitar gods we've been blessed with over the past 10 years or so. JR is for sure one of those in my age bracket who got hooked on playing guitar music like this from Dream Theater's Train of Thought from 2003, best album ever!!!

This dude sounds like Ben Shapiro arguing with you about music theory

[abrahamrodrigues]

This video is treasure, listen to everything he says carefully its the best video to learn to improve your playing . Jason breaksdown his technique he uses

[alexruka]

Literally one of the best guitar tutor in YouTube

[DavidNwokoye]

I'm a simple man. I see Jason, I click.

[emayfrit]

Brilliant tactician of technique - you've got to perfect that flexible approach all the time!

[var_guitar]

The second half of this video with the tips about right hand technique is extremely useful

[mohitsinha]

Tim Henson = Every guitarist's worse nightmare
Jason = Tim Henson's worse nightmare

[CompleteProducer]

So awesome how he has his own signature Ernie Ball but he still has the JP Majesty in rotation. Such a killer guitar - I wish Guitar World wouldn't choose crappy gear for these great guitars though

[AirGuitar]

He says he doesn't pick from his forearm, but when he goes super fast alternate picking, it looks like the motion is coming from his elbow?

[JulianLeno]

Jason: "Now I am going to try to play it faster
Me: Was that the slow part?

[michaelcalero]

An entire company for guitar, and no one thought to get this man a better cable?
