Mar 3, 2011 - Guys I need some help here! I can pick very fast scales, but everytime I change strings, my finger pulls out one string and makes it ring making a terrible sound. I don't know if this is related to the height of my strings, but even when I play slowly, the strings get pulled out. What can I do?(Justin, what's a playa?)

Jul 28, 2011 - You know how the professional guitarists can always play a ridiculously difficult song, but they always make it look so damn easy? That is because they're relaxed and making the smallest movements possible like in this video. Another awesome video. Thanks Justin.

Oct 11, 2011 - I'm so good I never thought I would suffer such a big technical error. I'm having much trouble preventing my fingers from "flying."

Nov 16, 2011 - This exercise gave my guitar playing a total rebirth! I'm 57 & had your problem 8 months ago. I followed Justin's advice and can now do the scale at 152bpms without any problem. After 3 weeks, I couldn't do 90 bpms and my pinky was still flying all over. I believe it's the slow exercise that is the key, concentrating on keeping those fingers close. Just 5 minutes a day & after 3 weeks I kinda gave up & just went to doing it on occassion & just recently timed myself again & was shocked

quarticom Says:

Nov 17, 2011 - that has been exactly my problem 2 lol, but i havent played much lately, but i think i'll try this method by UtzChips2009 can be something, just concentrating and dont doing it fast. I think though another exercice in addition could help:) What's funny is that some exercises i've learnt is the complete opposite, moving the fingers as much as possible while ur playing exercise scales. Maybe its best to do both types of exercises? I dont know.... maybe some1 else can help:)

UtzChips2009 Says:

Nov 26, 2011 - If you listen to Justin play the scale at the 1:25 point, I find it imposible to keep count up to 12 for each note he plays. You can pull up (or at least I can) an online metronome, put it on 208 bpm, which is the highest setting & keep count. I believe having the proper string setup is extremely helpful. I recently had mine lowered to the point where all you can fit between the 6th string & 12th fret is a quarter.I have to recind my claim of doing 152 bpm, as I cannot do w/o mistakes
