love how people try to one up the instructor giving there own advice

these videos are great carl, thanx as always! my problem was always tension in my fretting hand, just holding the strings down WAY too hard, it's funny how once we realize that keeping everything relaxed and as light as possible makes the guitar feel so much more natural and allows us to play so much faster!

Great video Carl. And perfect timing too as I just started on your Four Horseman video yesterday.

By far the most all encompassing best tutorial I have seen

It's really funny because I've been kinda struggling here and there with the Hit The Lights (Metallica) main riff and this helped me immensely!

Great tips thank you. My problem is that many times my pick gets stuck/blocked by the string and it breaks the sequence

Maybe get a better grip on it? Hold it closer to the center, and stronger? Sorry, not an expert, but I think that could help

Can you fix that?

Try angling your pick down and not digging it to deep when picking the string. Not an expert sorry

Very good response to real questions by aspiring players. Very collaborative

Excellent advice as always.

What about when you have to palm mute the 6th and 5th string and alternate pick the hell out of it ?

Thank you! I believe every beginners who learn One by metallica will face these problems, really helpful!

Thanks man you helped me a lot

I was watching a video of someone playing one by Metallica. And I was like “how do you alternate pick that fast white palm muting?” So I found this video and like the first thing he said was “songs like one by Metallica”😭🤘

Hey Carl, any chance of you ever making a tutorial on how to change strings on acoustic and electric? I know there are literally dozens of videos on KZread and the process is pretty self-explanatory, but your way of explaining things is by far the best out of any guitar teacher that I've ever come across on the Internet, and I'd like to see what your preferred method is.

Excellent, thank you!

Perfect advice, this habit is common and with a little adjustment & repetition I couldn't possibly go back to doing it the old way. Man, my arm would tire so quickly playing like that

Thank you carl, i learn a lot from you

I used think u had to smoke the strings for speed glad ur here to teach

You are awesone Carl Brown!!

Lighter touch on the strings and playing less tense was the secret sauce. Solved my problem of it sounding clunky

That helped, a lot!

Good tips. I didn't realize it, but I kinda do that as well.

+Anthony Rotunda I'm glad it's helping you. Carl is obviously a great player and teacher. Good luck.

Hi Carl, what happened to that Sterling by MM JP guitar? I miss it in your videos lately. I have looked at its fretboard for years now and it feels home to me. I would buy it of from you, if I could. Good video, thanks! Gio

Hey! I've got one question. The gauge of the strings have something to see about the fast palm mute? 'Cause when I play for example genocide by the Offspring, in the intro the 6th string is palm muted and played fast and when I try to do that shit I get desperate. I have the hybrid slinky by Ernie ball xD

When your palm muting power chords are you supposed to be strumming just one string or the 3 strings?

Thx i am trying ths with king of kings by manowar

Took me 2 months after starting at 60 bpm, but finally got this (mostly) down at 112 bpm. Thanks for the advice

This reminds me Carl, you haven't done a lesson on fight fire with fire yet. I hope that'll change soon. Much love man

When i searched for this i was thinking of like, alternate picking string skipping and palm muted tech death riffs, like 230+bpm

I struggle with power chords idk every time Ido them they sound like they're wayyy too distorted like theres too much sound I think from watching this I may have been hitting them too hard if any1 has tips though feel free to tell me

I struggle a lot with alternate picking power chords with palm mute

I'm amazed you didn't mention the angle in which he is holding the pick. The pick should not be flat against the strings at the moment of contact. That gives the pick too much surface area and no matter your technique, you will pluck the hell out of your strings. Have the pick hit the strings at a 45-50 degree angle and that makes for a much more economic motion as there is technically no resistance when coming down or up on the strings.

no way man.. lol

I totally agree that this style of picking is a great thing to practice to develop your technique... Loose wrist, circular motion, light picking, palm muting... all great! What I disagree with is the "never lock wrist, never using elbow-bicep" thing... This can give you a certain kind of leverage and attack that is different from circular finger motion. You would be amazed how quickly you can train your bicep muscle to precision and rhythmic timing... I think the BIGGEST MISTAKE a guitarist can make is to believe that there are "bad habits" on guitar... I would tell anyone to get that out of their head... If you're producing a sound you don't want then of course change your approach... But just because you learn something one way, doesn't mean you can't then learn a different technique... the more versatile you are in developing different techniques, the more versatile a guitarist you will be... plain and simple. If you find new and better ways to play, great!! But playing something with a different approach won't cause you to not be able to do something new... The "bad habit" thing just simply isn't true... DIVERSIFY YOUR TECHNIQUES!!

hm, my upstrokes just don't work

1:51.....

Monster right hand, lol

I will get everyone I know to subscribe if you can tell me how to get a sound that crisp clean sharp and not muddy like that if I could get sound like that from my setup it would be priceless.

Think of wrist motion, as spreading butter with a butter knife, and economical by shortening it up! When wrist picking, you're also moving your forearm slightly as well, so make sure that remains relaxed (Bicep too!). It's tension that tires your arm. Like isometric exercises. Same with fingering and chords. Keeping tension when it's not needed is limiting! ✌

Thank you soooo much Carl!! This is one of my major dificulties. Ill keep praticing and the wrist thing was the most important tip, I was basically smashing the chords, Then i got it, the lighter it get, the better it souds. Thankss!
