Down Picking Speed And Endurance Exercises 

Its easy for you because Finns are born with Metal in their blood :)

Downstroking workout: Play Master of Puppets at 75% speed, build up to full speed Play Master of Puppets at 100% speed Play Master of Puppets at live speed

You are literally a godsend!!! I was just complaining 5 minutes ago that I don’t have downpicking stamina. Thank you so much dude!

im trying to build up my down for master of puppets!!!!

I learned alternate picking and I’m addicted to it. I play almost every metal riff/song that way. It took ten years to find out I was wrong and man it sucks

Awesome tutorial! Downpicking is a lot of fun once you get it right, and sounds massive too

Fantastic guitarist, killer all around. cheers Karri from Vancouver, Canada , Ed

Niceeeeeeee, really helpful and seems effective, now I really to start this practice to become better. Thanks man 🤘

thank you, i was very fast in this movement, but i don touch the guitarr for one year, and i didnt know what happend with my hability, crap, hard hand... now my movement reborn with this practique !!!

This lesson is really helping me out today. You mentioned some coaching at the end I’m interested in. Thank you.

To add I will also say whatever chromatic exercises or scales you do try downpicking them as well. Recently started going to guitar lessons again and got lucky with a teacher who is a metalhead. He gave me a chromatic warmup and I spend ~5 minutes alt picking it and about the same downpicking it, and it's helped me remove some of that tension. Basically include downpicking into your warmups and it helps

Nice-thanks! Makes perfect sense and seems like a good exercise.

This video was not only mutha fuckin cool, but it was very helpful! Thanks Karri, u rock!🤘

I dig it. I need to get a metronome. I think it will take me some time to nail down. My down picking and galloping come from my entire forearm and my tricep/shoulder muscles get fatigued until I get warmed up for 40 minutes or so. If I play for a few hours, I notice that I can play incredibly well. I just put so much practice into my alternate picking. I will start these exercises to build my down picking speed starting tomorrow. Thanks for the advice on watching this video!

Wow that's great 👍👍..... thanks bro.... greetings from northeast India 🇮🇳🇮🇳👍

Many thanks.

Thank you for the lesson man. I've recently got back into guitar after losing interest for a while. Your videos have helped immensely

Awesome lesson! It's really helpful for downpicking and I'll try your advice for my alternate picking as well. Thanks for the video :)

I found that adding a different note (maybe an F while you practice on E) on every beat will force you to lock in with the downbeat. It works as a lie-detector basically.

Nice vid! looking around for some vids and your vid is great too : good luck

I admired you when I first found your violator cover. I'm a huge huge fan of them and your cover was great, this is a really effective exercise. thanks and THRASH TILL DEATH \m/

This really helped me, thank you very very much!!

Todella hyödyllinen treeni, kiitos!

I appreciate the lesson. Surely has tought me alot. Got to where i can down pick the 6th string pretty easy at around 238. However the transition to other strings I still would still tense up. Managed to basically create an excersise with this same logic. Awesome video man.

Can i suggest a lesson? I would like to see a video about muting. right hand/left hand/ both hand muting.

Thank you brother.

Thank you for this video. This topic is very actual for me)))

This is awesome! Thanks a lot :)

Always useful information. Thank KH! 🤘😎🤘

Thank you for this! Great lesson

Some good insights here. Thanks!

Funny. I must be the only person here watching to improve my punk playing. Question: how much does the amount of gain/ type of gain affect the smoothness of the down stroke? Kiitos!

Cool exercise. Gonna give it a try.

Hey guys!! Any of you who wrote comments 1 or 2 years ago actually play MOP now?? With proper wrist and not arm movement! I’m stuck at 180bpm! i assume as you all were. Thanks

1 year late, but this helped me a lot, thank you very much!

Awesome! Lesson! That is getting into meshuggah territory!

Great lesson! could u pls show us how u hold the pick?

Cool ! Thanks 😊

Tosi hyvä video!

Nice work thanks for the tip, always looking for new ideas for exercises

Who is here because of Master of Puppets?

I have the same guitar ❤️❤️

Tone setting please!

Machine gun-like downpicking there Karri

thanks for the tips, I need to get faster. At the moment I can only downpick 8th note at 160 bpm lol.

Dude, your down picking is unreal.

Hi Karri and thanks you. Is it possible translate your suggestions in Italian?

what audio interface and monitors are you using? what amp sim do you use?

Jes! Tällasta videota toivonutkin sulta :) Itse olen treenannut niin, että soitan kahdeksasosia ja välillä nopeutan niin että soitan ne trioleina. Mikä metronomi äppi tuo muuten on?

hey bro can u give us tip how to get a budget metal guitar tone?

do you change your index finger position in the pick, for down strokes or galoping? because until now i've been mooving it backwards, and the pick locks close to the joints, with the tip of my finger pointing towards the palm of my hand, witch is strongly closed by the time. is it bad?

Are the gallops all downstroked too? Jesus christ

You should do a gallop lesson

это 12 раз, на 13 ты заканчиваешь а сколько ты сможешь держать такой темп ровно? я не хейтю, просто спортивный интерес

I am trying to improve my Master of Puppeting technique

What's the advantage of playing only down picking? (I'm a beginner)

Nice sound djent djent djent

You sound a lot like Jari from Wintersun. Probably because of the Finnish accent.

Most people come here to learn one Metallica song… *i come here to learn most Slipknot songs*

Eiku harjottelemaan.

/w\NICEKARRI/w\

is anyone else naturally left handed but plays right handed? i feel im already naturally at a disadvantage i just gallop accidentally

yes indeed, we all are gathered here today to do faster of muppets

I am here because of waking the demon

you should play slower still. did not keep the tempo on 240. i think you cant play slower either if you cant keep the correct timing. you can look at the record on top of the click if you think it was solid. otherwise you are improving and doing interesting videos. you make real good points but the timing has to stay otherwise no matter how fast you play it will not sound good

bro you're dragging the beat

360 bpm easily after 2 months of playing the guitar!! How??? the answer is easy... 2 years of training in gym... Now... Imagine downstroking breaking the law last part lol (not that hard tbh)
