speedy9313 practice the picking part and fingering parts Seperate, with a metronome until you reach a good speed, then go beyond your expectation until it's just above the speed you expect to play these together..... Only then, try synchronizing them together. Did wonders for me, hope it helps.

To me is on the term "different scales". When you're playing one octave up you're still in the same scale. Anyway, I know this dude is is truly unique and I like how he approaches guitar playing.

Ron used to be my guitar teacher way back in the day and I still remember these lessons quite fondly. He's as talented a teacher as he is a musician.

It is basic in the sense that you can easily understand the excercise in order to practice it anywhere. Not "easy" to dominate, per se.

I think it comes down to what you're used to playing. If you're a classical guitar player pretty much EVERYTHING you play is going to have more than one line going on at the same time . .that's what defines classical guitar. There are harmonized first position scale runs like this in many beginner etudes; this is stuff you'd be expected to play after a year or less. If it "helps" I think when pieces have more than one line, its usually much less confusing to play them from written music rather than overtaxing your brain trying to create the patterns from scratch. If you write out these lines (with tab, if you must) then sight-read them, I think you'll get them down much faster.

By the way, although I think there is value in playing this as an exercise the way Bumblefoot is demonstrating, this is probably not the easiest way to actually play the notes. Refingering these passages using octaves sliding up and down the 5th (A) and 3rd (D) strings Wes Montgomery style would probably make this instantly playable by most rock guitarists.

Check this guy’s other stuff out, he’s truly exceptional. Will blow you away. Also happens to be a great dude.
I attended a summer “camp” with Ron many years ago. This exercise drove a room full of guitarists bats**t insane. It was absolutely hilarious! I still can’t do the entire “easy” exercise all the way through but it has stuck with me for 15 years. Thanks Ron!
This guy is living on the other dimension that the term easy has a different levels of meanings.
just hope Ron gets good managing and gets talked around, get into stuff, projects and everything. He deserves it.

This guy is good on an epic level. Way under rated player, writer, and all around noodler. Scary good player.
Dude your amazing on guitar, I'm going to watch every video I find put out by you, thank you for sharing your talent with us Mr. Bumblefoot.
I would have never thought this possible. This man is one of the best
Thal and Govan are arguably the 2 best guitarists alive. I don't know anything that they can't play and I only know of a handful that can play what they can. Especially when they shift to the fretless.

this sounds amazing once you get it !!! such a good riff !!
so glad to see that people know who this incredible guitar player is :) LONG LIVE RON THAL !!!
That JS tech. Such a beautiful sound
Excellent exercise.
scales + chord tip is pure gold!

Man, I remember the first time I heard something from him. It was Chopin Fantasie, a great piece of music in Ominous Guitarists From The Unknown... I found myself listening to that song occasionally, day after day... then I wanted to know who this guitar player was, only to find out he was the current lead guitar player of G'N'R... I'm a huge fan of G'n'R, but at that moment I was paying little attention to the band because it was so unstable, and they were playing the same old songs...but then, I started to follow the gunners again, just because of this guy. The one and only: Mr. Bumblefoot
Now that is a very interesting exercise ! Wow!
Great practice!
YOU ROCK RON !!!!! Not only is your guitar playing something to behold, but the way you have mastered your vocal's is true'ly something special that gives your music it's un'mistakably unique sound and is a testament to your musical genious, you are a composer in your own rhealm, thanks for all the great music bro !!!! 😉👍
This is a great lesson. I am working a book with a ton of exercises like that. 2 parts at once. This is really good though. I like the thinking about not thinking and thats what feeling "natural" is.

3:43 that first 4 chords sequence actually sounded like a medieval/classical song
These guys are qreat thanx...
what a talent!
I hate how many times he says "easy" haha. What a hero.
I love slashs style of playing but holy shit!! Bumblefoot is so much better. He makes guitar sound like no one else. His solo shit is better than anything he did with gnr as well!!
Since Iv been watching you I have learned so much, more then Iv Ever learned from anybody Ever..Im considered Good Good here on Long Island NY but compared to you Im horrible! Also the way you teach & the camara angles are so helpful I cant even express it..IDT I can do this 2 scale thing but the 3 note chord lik from old England, Great..I cant believe how bad I actually am especially watching you..Oh & the thumble thing is Pure Genius..I couldt figure out How you did that Intill you explained..Ur The Best Iv Ever Seen! Im Big Michael Angelo/Malmsteen guy but Ur even above all of them..I had heard of you but Intill actually seeing what you can do its hard to Fathom how good you really are, But aft seeing bunch of Ur videos & watching most everybody else's, Best I've Ever Seen, no doubt in my mind & That is hard to say abt anybody But when the shoe fits? Thank You So Much for these videos, I probably would Never of advanced so much in such short time w/o them🎸

great video
Wow. I'm sure classical guitar would be a breeze for him.
