Great drill. I also find it helps to put your finger back on the pick board when you're done plucking and try not to move them. Then it's a challenge to remember to bring them back up in time for the next one.
Dude - this is so awesome. I've been having a hard time with some of the intermediate stuff that involes thumb independence and haven't been able to feel like i'm improving until finding this video!! Thank you tons.
I really like the guided exercises. Took me three days to make it through to the end. I'd love to see more like this. If I had one request, it would be a little less talking during the exercise itself. Like 20% less.
I greatly appreciate your patience and teaching style, it is a rare and unique combination. I was always looking for this exact type of approach with the blues. Your exercises are amazing and thank you for taking the time to share your expertise!
Wow! I feel like you've created an amazing hybrid of spaced repetition and guitar practice, in a fitness training style package. I can't wait to watch more of your videos and get started tomorrow. Thanks from UK! :)
@@FeedbackGuitarAcademy Keep posting the videos. You are putting out great content and made me to learn bluse despite the fact I am not fond of the genre but I see the value.
I've been looking for this kind of video for a long time but I don't feel it really works independence if you don't play any treble notes. Maybe some exercises with the thumb playing on beat and index finger playing triplet or quarter notes ? Anyhow great vid.
More attack! Our last Zoom lesson you suggested a thumb pick. A friend gave me one a while back I never gave it much of a chance. Your right to suggest to try it and see how much can be done with it. I like the aggressive bass from it 👍
It depends on how focused your practice is. It takes most people 1-3 years of consistent practice but with an extremely high level of focus you could get comfortable in a few months.

Im glad you like it! The next steps, once you feel a little bit more comfortable performing this movement, would be to learn some easy ish songs using this technique. Maybe check out Lonesome Valley by Mississippi John Hurt. I have a lesson on that song and its a good place to start. 👍
I do much of my own finger picking ... (need to get WAYY better) and the constant boom chick is/has been a problem where as I just play a base along the way ... I think I lack the discipline that makes it more natural later.. the last section was particularly interesting with three times then not... metronome paying all the time is really helpful but I forget to do it 99% of the time.. so I can tell this lesson will help. I have others too of course.
Thank you. In fact, I have always wanted to buy your private lessons, but my English is not very good. I am worried that I cannot understand your teaching when communicating with you through ZOOM or skype. 😭It would be great if my English could be better
You have to angle your palm a little bit so that it just touches the low 3 strings. And you can move it while you play to get the right sound. I hope this helps. Send me an email if you need more help.
I tell people to "karate chop" the strings right at the bridge (within and inch or less of the bridge) and then roll your hand over. A couple tips: 1. You dont have to mute all the strings at the same time. Usually you'll just mute the bass strings. 2. Keep the palm really close to the bridge and move it around a tiny bit while you play til you find the sweet spot. Its really close to the bridge. Hope this is helpful.
