Yes Pickslanting 100% works. I spent 5 years stuck at a wall in my 20's, and I gave up guitar. I just could not play licks that involved string switching above a certain speed. I discovered pickslanting years later in my 30's. No hyperbole, it changed my entre outlook and confidence in guitar. I was no longer frustrated all of the time, I can now pick things so much more freely. And it doesn't take too long to learn the movements, but it DOES take many, many hours of practice to really develop and feel comfortable with. It is so worth it though!

Definitely. Not sure why people would say pickslanting doesn't work, it's pretty much a geometric analysis of your picking trajectory. Perhaps some people say you shouldn't put too much thought into it and just focus on practice, but the thing is that if you know what you're practicing for, you can speed up process tenfold. I know this from experience. My biggest leaps in progress are NOT time and practice, it is figuring out what I'm doing inefficiently WHILE practicing.

It doesn't work because it's predicated on the false assumption that your pick will be in the correct position to play the next note.

@@jiimmyyy correct position being above the strings so that it's in the escape zone? Pickslanting is not a restrictive, hyper precise action, it's merely a technical aid that guitarists can follow to improve their alternate picking by switching the direction of momentum. Tldr - where the pick is going decides whether you're trapped underneath, or above the strings, free to pick any other string. Same logic is what makes string skipping possible. Up to a certain skill level, clean string changes can be done with less concious exertion of force in part due to experience and practice but also because you understand where the pick should be right after you pick the last note of a certain string. You say that it's predicated on the false assumption that your pick will be in the correct position. That is true. But pickslanting allows your pick to be in that position.

@@Kriegter changing the slant angle doesn't help you here. Using the pickslanting technique, the only option you have for going from the G string to the B string is to use an upward escape. If you use a downward escape, the G string is in the way and you have to hop over it to hit the B string. If you use an upward escape, you can play the first three notes, but you have to pick down toward the body of the guitar to hit the B string, as you've used an upward escape to play the G string. Now when you want to play the E string, you have to hop over it in order to play it because you've had to pick into the guitar to get the B string.

It's strange to see/hear people talk about pick slanting so much in the last few years. When I first started on guitar it was a natural action to me? I didn't think I had "cracked a code".. to paraphrase. Quite the opposite I was told by several advanced players and teachers that I was "doing it wrong" and would fuck up my wrist.

It is definitely a tricky one, but doable with pickslanting and the so called „snap movement“ as soon as you hit the B string you go instantly (a few milliseconds before you hit even) to upward pickslanting and then with the same method to downward pickslanting when you go to the E string. Boom and you are free again with the pick

I prefer to use a primary motion plus a secondary helper motion, Troy's more updated look at what most people do, although he hasn't thrown away the two-way pickslanting concept. If you're a wrist player you should be able to generate the opposite escape from the same position for the occasional note when you need it and without changing pickslant, this is what Paul Gilbert does the majority of the time 🙂

Someone mentioned pick slanting and ask what slant I used. I recorded my playing and realized I'm mostly upward slanting but there I a few instances where I was subconsciously switching to a downward slant on 6 note per string runs. I've been playing 37 years and never thought of pick slanting until someone brought it up. I do both.

I guess if you play scales or multi-string runs at least at medium speed, you automatically do some sort of pick slanting. Otherwise you would hit strings constantly.

When you say uneven number of notes, do you mean like odd amounts like 3,5,7? Or you mean uneven as in a different number of notes per string like 2 notes on one string and then 3 notes on the next? Cuz it seems like the 3 notes per string triplet runs, you're using 2 way slant to get around the D U D then U D U

I just wrote and then almost immediately deleted a comment, completely trashing "pick slanting", when I realized that it wasn't "pick slanting" I was complaining about, but rather a picking MOTION that is not perpendicular to the strings. I saw someone giving a guitar lesson on YoutTube telling students that they can speed up their picking by making the axis of motion about 45 degrees to the string which turned every attack of every note into the raunchiest, garbled trash grinding waste of fast picking, anyone ever came up with! When someone is playing complex 64th note riffs with an angled pick MOTION, it's grinding the pick over several of the strings' windings, turning what should be a single attack of each note into a pile of rattling garbage! It's nothing more than a cheat that you CAN'T NOT get caught at, because you can't hear the attack of ANY of your notes!
