It's because even though many people may own a guitar, (acoustic,) polls show that only about 10% of beginners were recorded to actually show interest in guitar, but that number fluctuated during the pandemic. And, that's even with 50% of the population liking hard rock and heavy metal. So, if you're a guitarist - you're one of just a few.

Because no one that's actually a professional musician or renowned or famous for playing the guitar either watched or needed this channel. And what it's trying to sell (note this channel uploads adverts for a paid service not teaching material) really isn't even 1% of guitar playing or musicianship. You can see the blindingly obvious (a) You need the pick not to hit the strings when you don't want it to and (b) you need it to hit the string when you do want it to. Now you've learned everything Troy knows about playing the guitar in two sentences. The rest is fluff and filler. There's no point watching any more. Except to note there's plenty of ways of picking. The real key thing to note today is that the latest guitarist people are getting excited about doesn't even use a pick. So if he can play really well (and he can - significantly better than the vast majority of guitar players) then clearly nothing Troy has ever said matters at all. You don't even need to use a pick to play guitar. The sad thing is how many potential musicians might waste time or money watching this crap - but I'd suggest that most people who are going to become musicians won't fall into the trap (because they'll instinctively see that of all the skills and knowledge they need to acquire this isn't a significant part and certainly not something they would have to spend significant time fussing over at the exclusion of other, far more important, skills. The bottom line is : the vast majority of guitarists learn how to do this while they're busy learning a bunch of more difficult and key skills - skills that Troy doesn't have. Unless you really are only interested in so-called 'shredding' but there aren't millions of people who are.

This is the floating pick approach that Matt Smith talks about in his book on "Speed" - the less of the pick is hitting the string the faster you can play. I also heard about it in a seminar on picking years back, It's also a dynamic control approach ( if you want to play louder you increase the plucking depth when hitting a string), It may not apply so much to high gain playing. The stylus picks that came out in the late 80's and early 90's play on this. I believe John Taylor currently uses one.

But I also have an RGA and the depth, still less than a LP, is deeper than the regular RG. 1.4 cm on the RGA 1cm on the RG. it makes a huge difference, specially for a mediocre guitarrist like me.

Troy: 1. Troy, you should keep the memory regarding the training wheels. I'm not familiar with a "balance bike," but it HAS TO BE better than training wheels! Those things really suck. I remember, same as you, that when I took them off, I could balance and ride. You see, the rider needs to be able to tilt the bike, that's the only way to learn balance! And it usually only takes a few seconds, minutes at most. Most of the "learning" is coordinating our limbs to pedal, steer and lean the bike, all at the same time...while balancing. Those things can happen pretty quickly in the brainstem, maybe quicker if the person (child) gets some experience doing the other things besides balancing. 2. I wish I had access to those fancy camera clamp thingies. They are cool, even if they do get in the way a little. Very helpful as a learning tool. Maybe someday if I ever give lessons, I'll invest in (or build) some. 3. This was a VERY HELPFUL video, on so many levels! It helped me learn what I need to master to perfect several techniques. 4. Nothing better than to hear expert level wailing, harmonizing guitar leads! The rest of the video (the real meat) was SUCH a bonus! Thanks to both of you for your time, your open and frank comments on the techniques, the equipment, the demonstrations... everything! Thank you both, SO MUCH! I really learned a lot, plus I was entertained by the music, the conversation, all of it. Thank you, thank you, thank you, from my heart, sincerely!

Speaking from personal experience, limiting the pick depth only creates bad habits. When you learn to play with this Speed Guide, then you can't play any other guitar anymore. My first electric guitar had an HSS pickup configuration, and my picking hand position was such that when picking, my pick was hovering exactly above the middle pickup. I once adjusted the pickups very close to the strings. After that, everytime I picked, my pick hit the middle pickup, so I didn't have to control the pick depth at all anymore. I noticed that because of this I could play faster and more comfortably, so I continued to play like this for months. However, my wake up call was when I had to play a different guitar without this "speed guide" trick; I could barely pick at all! I had absolutely no control of pick depth anymore, and picking felt VERY awkward, so I basically had to relearn how to pick, and it took a long time. So, my advice to everyone else is to stay away from this Speed Guide, unless you want to ruin your picking technique.

We haven't really addressed this but the short answer is it's just the feel of the pick on the string. I've noticed that often if I hit a tremolo a little bit too loud or soft on the first pickstroke, by the second or third pickstroke it's perfect. So I think it's really just tactile adjustment based on what feels and sounds smooth to you. If you're asking, what physically do you do to create this, that's a good question and I suspect it's different based on the picking motion you use. But we'd have to look at it.

Troy you have created something awesome and of incredible value to me .As a left-handed player Who plays like a right-handed player all my life I struggled with limitations of right-hand speed! all my life! If you want to do a study on left hand players playing like right handers and maybe do a video of your method working for ambidextrous playing I would be all in for that. I always used to believe that due to being a left-hander who plays like a right-hander was the main reason for my struggling with maximum speeds both in picking with a pic and in fingerpicking, Simply by watching your series I have watched my right hand become more loose I also do exercises where are use both hands simultaneously doing the same move for months using mirrors and simultaneous in the air moving of both hands , trying to fool my brain into thinking my right hand is my left hand. I have noticed some interesting things where working with a mirror ,similar to what stroke patients do ( DOIGE Neuroplasticity Studies for ex : The brain that changes itself) that if I look from the top down at my hand at either the right or the left hand with a mirror covering one hand _ my brain can be fooled into thinking it’s actually looking at the opposite hand, Something very interesting happened not only when I put a mirror on the left side to make my right think that it’s my left hand , which is my main hand! did the right hand speed up but the opposite also happens that : when I put a mirror where the right hand is so That my brain was thinking the mirror image it was seing of the left-hand moving was actually the right hand- it then slowed my left hand which is fast down! This made me realise that the nerves and muscles are the same exact on both sides of the body and speed limits in both hands are solely due to wiring in the brain which can be rewired using primary training techniques! The brush your teeth test: so while can you brush your teeth easier with your main hand the right hand if you’re a right-hander or the left-hand if you’re a left-hander, brushing your teeth with much more detail and faster and more control with your main hand is what usually people do. Often the differences are extreme. Now with watching your videos and only thinking about for hours a day pathways in my brain have started to Open and I can now see myself moving to what has been an unattainable goal for more than 30 years of playing. through a very good career as an acoustic singer and guitar player songwriter , with a high level of skill of articulation rhythm playing and composition on both instruments but always running into a wall with speed in my right hand, this was always something that blocked me mentally, spiritually and sometimes even made me depressed because I knew that my musical talent was much higher than what my right hand was able to deliver, I pull my hat to you sir for creating such incredible value for free and I will gladly join you in your online courses but as I noted before if you do want to work with a left-hander who plays like a right-hander and see how far we can go which I think would be quite interesting then I am very open to maybe doing a video series of my exploits working with you personally . Most respectful and happy greetings from Europe, Chris Shermer

At 28:38, it is a Mind F. Why because nothing is as it seems when it comes to so called "conscious" targeting, as the word conscious is not really correct. The idea of what we are doing and what we are actually doing are two VERY separate positions of "self awareness". The true "target" is the place of rest physically (that is to say) the next string either above when rest stroke is on higher string and below when rest stroke is on lower string, this is the idea behind so called "escape" picking. Quite logical in the highest sense of the word. Mind is a good servant but a inept master by it's very nature.

This is first and so far only time I have somebody (Teemu) to have guitar that can have this low strings I quess the fretboard is lower than normal too, but also that using the body to keeping the pick against it when normally you flaot the pick in the air.

The blue RGA ibanez in video, I see an ever tune installed, however there's a locking nut and string bar retainer up at nut area. No locking clamps to be seen, did someone drop an ever tune bridge in a floyd rose route? Interesting none the less if it actually works for floyd retrofits

Yes, Kaur Kukkur (Woodwork Studio, instagram.com/kaurkukkur/ ) retrofitted the guitar for Teemu with the Evertune. Originally it had an Edge Trem in it. (It's a Jake Bowen Signature)

I've been practicing with a rounded triangle pick lately to achieve a similar effect. The shape prevents you from dipping the pick too far under the strings, as long as you pick-slant slightly. I've noticed significant speed gains, even when switching back to a standard Fender-style pick.

I guess this is mostly for fast lead players. I love digging in for downstrokes and gallops I would hate the feeling of wood stopping me.

It's for fast lead playing. The biggest lesson I have learned from Troy - and it's a big one - is that you don't have to use the same technique for everything. Want to dig in for those gallop riffs? Go for it (I'm with you), and then use this for fast lead lines.

Most guitars have these speed guides build in. You can ALMOST get the exact phenomenon by going up to pick around the fretboard :)

So just extend the fretboard to the bridge? Probably just for solid body electrics. On an acoustic guitar it would be tapping sounds on the body. Unless it had a rubber surface.

What a stupid implementation of this idea. The finish in that area will get obliterated in no time. This is the first time I've ever seen where something called a "pick guard" could be used for its actual purpose on an electric guitar, and yet there isnt one.

Seems like floyd would have been better designing something that could be added to your own guitar other than having to buy an instrument specifically for a purpose. Really specific audience he's aiming at here.

Absolutely. Many bassists like Gary Willis and Hadrien Feraud have been adding "ramps" to their regular instruments for years.

Genius suggestion. Then you'd probably just be complaining that it's nothing but a hunk of wood or plastic that sits between your pickups, and you could make one yourself. Or are you not smart enough to realize that's all it would be?

@@colinrobertson4569 All I see is yet another person offering criticism to something that just doesn't seem to be aimed at them. Plenty of things exist all over the world that are aimed at a very specific audience. Plenty of musical instruments are designed for a specific purpose. Then there's the simplicity of the idea for 'something that could be added to your own guitar'. If you're bothered by the idea that you'd want something like that but don't want to buy a guitar, just measure the space between your pickups and cut a piece of wood to wedge in there. If you're really feeling fancy, add some metal brackets to the corner so you screw it down with the screws on the pickup rings. Which also illustrates the problem with designing an add on. Which guitar do they measure for? Do they make a thousand variations for distances between pickups and pickups mounts? What do they do for dual/single/dual? What about guitars that have the pickups mounted directly to the body? There are far too many guitars to make one single item that would fit Personally I question the existence of the guitar myself, but I don't feel the need to criticize or complain about something I don't need or want.

@@simpleanswer8954 where was the criticism? If it works amazing. I would have thought his market would have been wider if it as a separate item to add to an already existing guitar rather than having to pay for a new instrument, this would potentially sell him more units. Not q criticism but an opinion and thank you for yours.
