Howdy ho, Shredi Knights! It's time to start off the new year the right way by cleaning up those nasty hand synchronization issues you've got with a brand new episode of This Is Why You Suck at Guitar, here with Uncle Ben Eller!
Whether you're playing a brutal James Hetfield Metallica rhythm part, some blazing Yngwie Malmsteen arpeggios, or some tasty Paul Gilbert alternate picking licks, those mitts HAVE to be in perfect sync with each other. I see so many players who will have good sync at low and medium speeds, but once they cross a certain speed threshold, their hands just start moving "fast", totally losing time of the song and getting the hands way out of sync. Dudes are especially prone to doing this with the picking hand.
But don't fret! I'm here to help you stop sucking!
We're going to learn a little about the most popular high speed note subdivisions (16th notes and sextuplets) so you can start feeling the pulse of what you're playing, even when it's blazing fast. A good carpenter needs to know how to measure things, and so does someone wanting to build a better lick.
After that, I'm going to show you a mental organizational tool called "chunking"! I've been using chunking for years, but never put a name with it until I watched Troy Grady's godlike Cracking the Code series here on YouTube. VITAL WATCHING, right there.
I'll show you how to use chunking and your newfound note division knowledge to get both hands tight independently, then working together. You'll also learn some cool tips and tricks along the way to help you earn the respect of your stepdad back. OR YOUR MONEY BACK.
Thanks so much for watching. 2016 is going to feature a LOT more TIWYSAG videos, so let me know what you want to see!
