REVELATION! Paul Gilbert's changing string technique! 

Watch my video about universal technique, I think you might like it even more. Thanks btw, really appreciate that

Hi Anton , would u know the reason for the slingshot effect, ? When I try speeding up my alternate picking my does a rest stroke I between the strings it’s gets stuck ?

Lol no 😅😅

PG can actually string a guitar using only one hand.

@@infinitesimotel Why do you think he brings a drill with him onstage? haha

@@infinitesimotel and only in 3 seconds lol

@@AntonOparinENG This is PG changing strings ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OqjUlgzuyQA.html on Andertons video haha It's not a secret. So your video is not useful anymore :-D

Anton still looking like kindergarten boy but ripping Frenzy like nothing. Insane!!

Well in that case you should learn hybrid picking instead, it's help a lot if you play string skipping licks

Check this kid out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7QoWHFjk2mE.html

That's right.

That’s right….seems he figured that out with some other player AFTER he did the break down of Gilbert. He should go back and edit it or put a link to the swiping thing.

Yes, he showed Jorge Strunz swiping on nylon string. Quite amazing. Seems like Mclaughlin may be doing it as well then?

@@user-px5pj7ux5k if you want to learn to play all string switches clean then you'll need to learn to play in a straight position

Thanks man, appreciate that! I will post more!)

Swearing in church? Why? :-)

@@davidhurley5032 Because Paul's technique is seen as absolutely perfect by so many people. I remember commenting on Petruccis technique once (he does the same thing) and I was asked: "Who the F are you commenting on his technique". Like analysing what's happening technically is a big no-no 🤷

@@sifka1607 nobody is perfect but these guys are as close as you can get. It’s not something to worry too much about. It’s a result of taking those huge strokes that he does, which is what gives him that intensity. Muting out strings we don’t want is something we all do and just as impressive at that speed as jumping over it. And it’s only on the turnarounds. He has plenty of licks that he’s clearing the strings completely. Dude’s got his stuff down and sounds great. :). But you’re right. Nothing wrong at all with the analysis. Always helpful! People often need to chill. Lol.

I really want to understand Kiko Loureiro’s picking too. I think he uses crosspicking

Not on each note

@@ricoporoco it's possible for both inside and outside switches in fast temps if done correctly

Depends on how fast he plays it. In super fast tempos, mostly yes

is hard work lol i used to think like this and ive been doing these pual gilber exercises countless times a day and i can play them fast now

Like guy in the comment said its hard work patience determination practice

Watch my "does universal technique exist?" It will surprise you that universal technique for all licks actually EXISTS. And there's scientific explanation for that sir:)

Yep, it's BIAS AMP vst

Paul never explained anything about guitar technique, what he says in public is about 10-15% from what he actually knows, he didn't want anyone to know what he knows, I think that's the reason.

He probably doesn't know he's doing it. At that speed it feels clean, so he doesn't know

@@quintinpace2627believe me, Paul knows what he's doing, that's why his technique is still one of the best in the world. He wouldn't use such a professional muting technique when he's playing fast if he didn't know that he's touching the string.

@@AntonOparinENG hi Anton I remember having a (stupid) debate on youtube comment with a guy who said that Paul slightly hit the other string when crossing the string and I said no way because I believe a pro like him would pick very precise. But your video changed my mind. Spasiba.

@@AntonOparinENG What you say about the mute entrainment of the string when changing strings, Anton, is plausible. In the 2000s, a guitar great in my country tried to teach me the same thing. An early acquaintance of Paul's, before he was more famous, told somewhere that Paul was a very open-minded, helpful guy with whom you could talk for hours about guitar details. Maybe he had experiences in "real life" that made him more secretive. You Anton were an almost fully developed virtuoso even at a significantly younger age than Paul. Did you already know in detail what you were doing technically as a child? Malmsteen, for example, is someone who developed his technique according to body feeling and hearing, but not analytically. So he can't really explain his technique either. Wouldn't it be possible that it is similar with Paul? By the way, it is a pleasure to witness your technique, which is probably one of the most developed in the world.

He said it one time

Hello Ales. I've found out about Troy when he offered me to record my right hand and make a video on his channel couple of years ago, but I didn't do it and wanted to keep it to myself back then. He's a good researcher, but my method is a little different. All techniques have things that are similar and that are not, "God is in the details" as always. I have lots of physics of right hand explaining in my academy, haven't seen it anywhere yet, but i think it's critical thing for developing technique, it's like building an engine. Someone knows what engine does, but not everybody knows what each detail in the engine does and what it might cause to your playing in other aspects. That allows me to understand and explain what any guitar player can do with his exact technique and what he can't because it's just physics and laws that you can't avoid. My dad was professional sport coach and it allowed me to know a lot about how muscles work and how they're being trained. I didn't buy Troy's courses to understand what he explains there, cause I knew everything I needed in my guitar playing maybe 12 or 14 years ago. That was a year when I played Paul Gilbert's "get out of my yard" on 6 strings, I had already finished technical information-base back then, so that's it

@@AntonOparinENG I don't think you'll lose anything (lesson money/business or otherwise) by letting Troy record your right hand. You're an amazing player, so I hope you'll reconsider someday. There's plenty of master players that understand physics/muscles but still gained new insight by seeing their own playing in slow motion, plus the obvious benefit for the rest of us. Sometimes guys (like Friedman) were convinced they weren't doing something that they actually were, for example, lol ;)

@@DeathBringer769 don't want to be rude or something, but I know everything what I do on the guitar, up to 1 millimeter... maybe others didn't know what that did until Troy recorded them, but I do and recorded myself thousands of times before and even in slow motion. And btw slow motion camera won't tell you everything, especially on what's happening inside the hands and in muscles. Let's be honest, you just want to know things for free. Just say it:-) and don't tell me what I will gain from that or lose. It's a simple manipulation to make me do what YOU want me to do for Free. Troy sells courses based on things other guitar players do, but didn't develop it on best level by himself as some of his guests did. I developed my technique much earlier than Troy published his first video and I've actually developed it, not just recorded it from someone and then suppose how it might be developed. People who didn't develop it by themselves don't know all the pitfalls. Again, don't want to be rude, just saying the truth

Lol so funny! if you knew who you're talking to. This guy showed Yngwie's trilogy and how to play it better and cleaner than Yngwie and now shows how to play cleaner than Paul Gilbert. I'm sure he knows much much better than you smartass

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_V_PXTr5REI.html 12:50. And yes, Paul's and especially Yngwie's negligence with their thumbs cause majority of their problems with synchronisation and quality when it happens. It's not their fault, it's just physics. They could make it even more perfect, but just didn't. It doesn't mean that they can't play guitar, they are still incredible guitarists and in the list of the best ever

he plays 2 two notes instead one

Your pick touching the unnecessary strings, for example if you play string skipping from high E string to G string, and when your pick hit the B string or maybe the D string, that's when Anton called it "touching" the strings.

Yes

Do you have lessons for this? Let me know

@@vishalky I've already said that

Alright. Can we choose just the string skipping technique lesson of 70$ instead of the whole bundle? I sent an email too.

@@vishalky unfortunately I don't sell separate lectures anymore. Only full bundle for $340.

Because JP is cheating and PG don't.. JP would play only 3 notes but pick it 100 times just to make it sound fast.. and that's cheating to me 😂

@@paulgilbert3139 I have to disagree. As I Am (and the entire Train of thought songs), Fatal Tragedy, Metropolis Pt.1, Erotomania, Glasgow Kiss outro, and many more where he did alt pick exclusively with various patterns, no pull off. PG is the ‘cheating’ one because he’d pull off the higher string. He admits it makes licks easier to play and to get different tonality. JP usually plays tremolo picking on one note when improvising as a stepping stone before speed picking, like Reb Beach solo on Seventeen. Even PG does that too. I’m a fanboy of these two so no point in arguing my comment. Just stating facts.

@@iganpparamarta8813 I'm not saying cheating at picking, but cheating at playing.. i know that PG was not picking everynote, but he can nail everysolo perfectly almost in every Gig.. but JP is different, even he is struggle to play the arpeggio intro of the glass prison, he often play like crap in another day solo.. and after i saw the G3 (line up: joe, JP, PG) few years ago, i knew one thing correctly that JP is a bad improviser

But players like Guthrie, Matteo mancuso, Alex Hutchings, and Andre nieri can eat both of them alive in jam session 🤣

@@paulgilbert3139 wow! I've been saying that for decades (JP is really really bad at improvising) and I just get hate in return. It's not being disrespectful. I am a huge fan! My dream guitar is the Majesty! and his arrangements and compositions are incredible! Hek, my favorite instrumental song is Glasgow Kiss! But I can't stand listening to him trying to improvise LOL

@@Slears go and do it 😉

I think you're right dude. The point in the video at 04:40 and if you open it in Video Lan (VLCj) you can close up on it - he seems to be cleanly hopping over that lower string to get to the point of hitting the upstroke on it. There's very little height, so its incredible conservation of energy, but you can also hear that the tone is clean - you would hear buzzing otherwise. Anton, I am sure I haven't studied it as long as you so If I'm wrong accept my apology, but in my opinion his pick is not swiping the lower string.

Intense Rock 1 alumnus, UNITE!

What?

No, I don't. I use a little different technique and plus it's cleaner

@@AntonOparinENG I was referring to the Paul Gilbert example you were demonstrating. Is Paul ‘swiping’ the D string on the up-stroke from G string to D string?

@@guitarguy382 No, Paul is swiping through the (muted) G string on the downstroke before playing the upstroke on the same string.

Apologies, that would be true for a downward pick slanter. I was forgetting that Gilbert has a natural upward pick slant which would mean he does swipe the D string on the upstroke. Confusing stuff!

Troy Grady talks about it in the second half of this clip - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DZQo24WY7DE.html

It costs 340 bucks haha

I would really like to watch you or any other guitar player in the world making it on the instrument and then I'll be the one who's gonna laugh😉

It doesn't conserve energy. It is just worse technique.
