Is He One of the Best Rock Guitarists of the 80s?
He always had a habit of taking strange out of key notes and making the sound like they were in 5he key
I actually broke my arm. is the actual reason
This 100% dead on the money. Working on my legato and timing with my fretting hand has improved everything. My picking hand is fast, fluid, and locked in, but my fretting hand still needs lots of work.
Exactly. Getting control over your fretting unlocks everything, whether it's the solo to Freebird or Tornado of Souls 👍🎸
I'm a lefty but i play right handed. My picking has always suffered. My legato is fine because my left hand is capable. I've basically been at a plateau for 25 years.
Hey duder, get my free courses here and put them to work, it'll get you out of that plateau 👍 courses.benhigginsofficial.com/freecourses
I've been practicing legato with my thumb behind the neck, which feels so foreign to me because I'm self taught and played the other way for over 20 years. I can definitely feel soreness which leads me to wonder if I'm just working out unused muscles or if I'm doing something wrong and causing more harm than good.
best Lynch note choice out there... kudos!
🤜🤛🎸🎸
Stuff like that just happens a lot easier😂
Quit flexing on me 😭
Late to the party apparently! Awesome content Ben! I'm a later beginner coming back to the guitar after a long time away. Where's the best place to start with your courses? Cheers from Vancouver!
Hi man, I definitely recommend starting here... the best thing to do when coming back from a lay-off is working on the foundational strength/stamina of fretting and picking hand. The Warm Up will do that for you... then go onto Maximum Guitar Gains 👍 courses.benhigginsofficial.com/freecourses
@@BenHigginsOfficial Appreciate you dude! 🤘🏼
Bad Alternate Ass Picking? Would that still work?
Yes but the results would be very different
Try 12345 12345 12345 and do a string skip in it ,, it super fun when fast 👶👑🙏🎸👶👑🙏🎸
I pick fast ,, can't keep the damn pick down on strings ,, always slips up at angle ,,are grip picks the secret ,, when pick slips up at angle super fast notes get missed 👶👑🙏🥖🎸👶👑🙏🎸
I'll just keep trying to gallop at more than 120 BPM until I can, for now. I do appreciate that one should keep finding new things to work at in order to progress.
If I can add anything to this it is *practice songs that utilize the techniques you want to improve so practicing is more fun and useful.* Exercises are not practical. Songs are. As an example I am recording a cover of Metallica's "Dyer's Eve." 16th notes at 195 bpm. Why? My right hand alternate picking is weak. Dimebag himself said once he didn't really have a structured practice routine. He just played. By this I assume he meant songs he liked. On the other side of that there is John Petrucci who has a filing system that meticulously organizes everything he wants to practice and breaks it down into small daily routines. He discussed this in his old "Wild Stringdom" column in "Guitar World."
The Illuminati won't let play faster ben, it's their fault not mine 😁😁
You need to know the secret hand shake! 🖐️
@@BenHigginsOfficial 😆😆
At the end, thumb almost looped over the top. When your hands are that big, no amount of telling people ‘it's easy’ will work.
Lol my hands are not large, I'm only 5'9
Looking for excuses won't improve your guitar skills.
"It's the illuminati, bruv" Dead ☠️💀🤣🤣
🤜🤛🍩🍩
If you have this problem then Legato Gym will solve it and make bad hand synchronization a thing of the past 🔥🎸
That color is beautiful
I don’t give a TOSS. I’m gonna start using that as an American
When I rotate my hand like this my fingers are muting other strings
Light gauge strings are for live!!! They cut through the mix.
Bro made it look SO easy
Absolutely solid advice!
Use light if you like them. It’s doesn’t matter to the sound, really. Lighter = frequency balance biased hi-mid a little more Heavier = frequency biased low-mid a little more Both of those can be reversed with eq before the amp. But! Heavier have MORE sustain, not less. But the difference is tiny with amp compression and distortion, not something like o care about. And, the reason I use standard gauge, they don’t break as easily. Ok, that’s my playing style and I’d rather have a testicle removed than be compared to the widdle widdlers like Satriani and Malmsteen. SRV is not exactly to my taste, but I find him a lot more musical than those previous examples. But you do you. I’m actually thinking of checking out some 9s, now that there’s all this noise about gauges. Just to see if my experience in the early 80s when I switched is still valid.
And that's not even the Shrapnel shred guys like Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, TMac, etc! 80s must be one hell of an era. Too bad I'm too young to experience the 80s 😅
He don’t give a toss
i rarely comment but this video is awesome, virtually every second of the video was informative and helpful. it’s like you tied together all the most common problems and addreessed them in one video. great stuff

From the Halls of Castle Higgy 🛡️🗡️ Awesome !!!! Hands down best course I have been part of - one of the many takeaways for me is my timing has improved dramatically - Thank You
You're a True Knight of Castle Higgy, Sir William! Guitar Gains or nothing! ⚔️🛡️🎸🎸
@@BenHigginsOfficial Every time these new YT shorts come on I am continually amazed at how bad ass your playing is and your bass ass tone the note clarity and separation is unmatchable - maybe slip a Lord Higgy style LTK and RTR in TCG that would be cool
I'm thinking I couldn't coordinate wrist and finger, pick actions,, for solos,, I could play many, Metallica, rhythms just not the solos,, what is my malfunction,,
You need to get your fretting hand levelled up, using hammer-ons, pull-offs etc. Grab my free course The Warm Up and do the fretting hand drill 👉 courses.benhigginsofficial.com/freecourses
Stumbling upon pure gold in the wild 😮
Just discovered this video ramdomly and I must admit, this is the best review of my alltime favourite album ever. It's crazy that after 36 years I finally find a person who has had EXACTLY the same feelings as me about Seventh Son. Dickinson's phrasing and intonation, his grim yet majestic performance, unmatched by any metal singer to this day, sounds like that of a giant. As the album has strong mystic tale touch, while recorded between massive ancient castle walls. While I used to play C64 video games, especially the game Defender of the crown in 1988 as a child and listening to the Seventh Son -cassette for hours, weeks, later months, it created one of the most intense memory of my childhood.
That's amazing to hear! This album created a massive impression on so many of us 🤘🤘🎸🎸
You forgot the melodic descending line that he likes to end his solo with. or is that dave Murray?
I put 11s on 24.75 but 8s on 25.5 because using 11 with standard tuning on ibanez s only gave me 1 second of sustain on high fret 😂
Great vid
