I have a pretty controlled pick hand, almost Yngwie-esque movement lol, so having a stiff pick (2mm), around 45 degrees, with as little wrist movement as possible works best for me. I'm talking more in the context of quick alt solo runs, which I don't normally do haha. Majority of those runs would usually be hybrid, economy, or descending sweeps with hammer-ons and pull-offs, and legato. I don't normally analyze it too much (until now), for better or worse.
He's the type of instrumentalist my clarinet teacher was, and insisted on in my own studies: Perfection.
That's one that I still have to consciously focus on, as it starts to get erratic the faster I go.
Yep. It should be as fluid as possible movement. Same goes with sports and technique. Brute force can get it done too but it's often messy and unpredictable! (which in music is not always a bad thing? depends on the context)That's one that I still have to consciously focus on, as it starts to get erratic the faster I go.
IOW, it's one I still have to fall back on, to try to get it committed to muscle memory. It's physics, and the reason a short-stroke engine can rev higher.
part of the charm, character and toanz ...SEE: "Jimmy Page is Sloppy" thread.
I believe it was a term coined by Potsmokers.
Man, I haven't done some of those stretches in a while. I did the one where each note is 2 frets apart, and my right foot cramped up!
I just cleared the 5th string from my path and it's like I can't miss!
