Hey man, been LOVING the guitar tutorials. I started playing guitar at the start of pandemic and learned rather informally on my own. The way you go about explaining individual techniques in a way that doesn't gloss over small details (especially as a newer guitarist) makes it really clear what I need (and don't need) to be doing. Major thanks!

I love how fast you can give really good advice and exercise without any bull crap

My name is Gavin, and my brothers name is Brooks 💀

Man, this would be so useful if I ever actually practiced

I can’t stop binge watching these videos 🤣

Awesome!

This seems easy, but it's really not, string skipping it's the hardest thing to nail in fast playing, especially with distortion, just lightly touching the wrong string made a lot of noise.

This is hard for me, now I can understand how I can improve myself, thank you 🎉

You are by far the most effective guitar teacher I have seen in a long time. All your videos are priceless advice in 1 minute. Awesome job

Thanks for teaching us Y2k

Street Spirit from Radiohead is a GREAT song to practice to improve alternate picking and string skipping

OK I will try it :)

I don't if you've done it before, but I'd want to learn how to down pick faster or how to not get tired out from down picking

I really need to watch this! I've heard so much about it hahaha, the "spider" exercises too. But john Pettruci told me to try playing the same way fast that I do slow and that kind of set me back a year or two lol

After 3 weeks of playing uncomfortable with plec and 2 hours of lessons, maybe it has a reason why I never go from bass shredding with 3 fingers to guitar... after 36 years of bass with fingers this is really hard for me. And the left hand can do medium shredding. I do experiment to play this with fingers. I have much more feel to the strings...

you should teach fingerstyle I'm curious how you would do it

@gavinbrooks100

I'm not very good at fingerstyle! But I can share what I would practice if I wanted to become better at it ... adding this to my list..!

Thank you! Should I rest part of ny palm o. The guitar though? Or should my entire hand be floating around?

Maybe do a video on how to grow luscious hair such as yours?

Can you do any tips or techniques to maintain speed or stamina while tremolo picking or doing any fast thrash picking?

Funny guy. You were right the first time. When you said pick with your…. Left hand. 😐

You a pure alternate guy or you mix in economy as well? One note per string is pretty tricky especially alternate picked

@gavinbrooks100

Pure Alternate! Except for sweeping.. if you want to count that as economy. Started alternate from the beginning and I like the percussive consistency to it -- though there's nothing wrong with economy, I should practice it more!

Isn't this thing called arpeggio 🤷‍♂️
