2025-03-11 23:15:58 +0000 UTCAn exercise for building up to shredding would be great. Things like accenting notes, speed bursting, hand sync etc. Two of your recent videos inspired me to learn Master of Puppets and Cliffs of Dover and I need help!

Id appreciate that. Thank you man!

2025-02-19 21:30:51 +0000 UTCI knew a guy who stood right next to the wall when he practiced such that his fretting hand literally hit the wall if his fingers flew off the fretboard. I've never tried that technique myself, but maybe it could work?

2025-02-17 21:35:17 +0000 UTCwhat are some approaches to keep your picking hand under control? For instance, I recorded myself playing and I noticed that I create a U-shape pick attack instead of a smooth up and down, like I am bouncing off of the string rather than picking through the string. I am certain it's making me hit a wall, but I don't know how to remedy it.

2025-02-16 03:04:17 +0000 UTCBen, thank you for so much awesome content! You've helped me in so many areas. I've been playing for many decades and until you pointed out the "not so much pressure on the fretting hand" idea, I always played with a heavy hand. It's made a world of difference in my playing and I thank you. What I'm wondering is, my fingers have been trained to fly off the fretboard because of the heavy hand. How would you try to get the fingers to stay closer to the fretboard for the next note, especially the pinky. That dude is all over the place and I feel like it slows me down. Thanks, Ben!!

2025-02-15 13:10:41 +0000 UTCI find that closing my eyes (after memorizing the song parts) and feeling the music helps me with relaxing. Have you ever done this? Playing at different speeds in a single song requires different picking techniques so how do you transition between those techniques on the fly during a song? Any tips on transitioning between picking techniques on the fly?
