If I can skip learning sweep picking to get this down my whole life just changed

Your clean sustain is..................long.

cheers for spending time on the picking hand approach

Unreal - superhero  chops...

that photo of Tim Miller almost looked like Ben Monder, it almost fooled me

BOOM!

Thank you Dr. Dre.

Oh I’ve been using the 2-1-2 arpeggio ever since I got into Devin Townsend, back when he released Deconstruction & Ghost!  I wanted to learn Numbered! off of Addicted!! and it has that all the bridge of the song.  He also uses this all the way up & down the neck for the second half of the song Ki, and it’s SO much fun to play.  He does it all in Open C & Open B, so the shaped are SUPER symmetrical

Good !

Thank you Sir.. you help make difficult to do things become approachable & doable .. much appreciated

So it's a tetratonic scale (I have to translate it into metal-ese for my own purposes). Can't wait to practice this!

I love arpeggios.

Damn it, so simple and so effective and was always right below my fingers all those years and I just didn't see it. Thank man!!!

I've been going hard on 2-1-2s for the past couple of years and I gotta say, they are a great way of practicing hybrid picking. I owe 100% of my hybrid picking techniques to 2-1-2s.

That sustain tho

Ive been doing this forever and now I realize it's a thing !
I do a lot of one two ones as well

This is fascinating— I’ve become used to a 2-3-2 hammer/alternate licking combination over the years to aid with string skipping when playing very fast so I spent a ridiculous amount of time thinking about pick strokes, speed and the critical area of them serving the actual music without putting you into a small box

This 2-1-2 seems useful particularly with large interval jumps, legato sound and very non-linear playing

Music is so subjective— you talk about your love of the fourths and I detest them if played too much with melodies etc because they sound so sad and hollow

Thank you

thanks for arping it up and also remember my guitar practice tip #57!

I feel so smart now, thank you 🙏🙏🙏
