Some things I learned about downstrokes, tracking and mechanics

Hey everybody,

If you have a few minutes I made a video that some of you might find helpful. I just noticed it’s 15 minutes long…sorry about that, I guess I droned on and on more than I wanted to.

Hopefully I’m allowed to post video links otherwise this will be a confusing post. So if it works, below is my video and below that is the video I mention in mine. I hope it helps someone.

I made a video talking about a few things that I sort of figured out lately. I am literally using a wood clamp and hair ties so the video isn’t perfect, but it works well enough in place of a magnet.

I don’t have it time stamped, but I talk about the following:

  1. Downstrokes
  2. Tracking
  3. The mental aspect of these different motions we learn

I also mention a James Hetfield video, so here is that link. Watch the video to see why I linked to it if you are at all interested in faster / easier downstrokes

Thanks for taking the time and posting this. I’ve been off here for a while but getting back to it and this gives me a little different take on it. Thanks!!
