    The amazing thing is that not only Troy can finely and precisely analyze the different picking motions of players, he’s also able to exactly replicate them with success! This is phenomenal because we all know how difficult it is to change however basic technique.

    I watched Al play live, In support of the Casino album, back in the late 70s, and it changed my “guitar” life forever.

    Fantastic lesson, Troy. Nobody else is this authoritative on flatpicking. I wish I had seen these while I was learning.

    Just stumbled upon your channel a couple of days ago (an algo stumble). What you do is amazing !!! Once I got past the fact that you look like you should be floating around in the International Space Station instead of in a guitar technique video, I was HOOKED! Thank you so much for you amazing contribution to the guitar freaks as myself. Cheers

    I’ve been studying Al’s and Andy’s playing for a bit now as I have a similar picking motion and have been in a bit of a rut with my playing. I’ve figured out that I may be focusing too much on having a pick angle and when I moved to more of a vertical approach like Andy these runs seem to be easier. Love the details you provide!

    I'm 66 mainly a bass player but I like picking up the guitar as well. But after many many years of playing I still can't pick very fast. Don't really need to for what I'm doing but this video is motivating me to see if I can improve . I have never seen picking explained in such detail. This is great. Thank you Troy
