Who needs to go to the gym for an arm workout when you can play James Hetfield riffs? Great downpicking exercise.

Some stretches and tips for increasing your finger reach and span on guitar.

I think this is going to be what I practice daily now. I did basically this yesterday but a lot at once and got a bit frustrated at times. So today, I’ve done this several times in short increments. I practiced a few times before work, and now after. I’m thinking Multiple short practice sessions Are better for me than one really long one. I also wanted to get a better shot of my fretting hand to make sure I was alternate picking correctly. Let me know what you guys think.

Check the second EP "Directile Dysfunction"

Jumping in on the update thingy @[4668:@Alicia Willis] and @[34751:@Christian J.S. Schulze Aguiar] already did! God I still hate talking to the camera!

Another long vid. Here, I try and sort out my sweeping motions. My commentary isn't exactly the greatest, and looking over the vid, I'm actually kinda doubting whether I got it down and if I'm being too critical of myself. I attempted to take what I learned from the first sweep picking lesson, but I really think I need to keep working to get it right. I'm not happy with my pick placement, and I'm not actually sure if I'm tilting right and getting that fluid motion. It felt more compared to previously? Honestly, I don't know. Any comments, suggestions, ideas, etc are appreciated, because I'm unsure.

Thanks again @[4668:@Alicia Willis] for starting this series agian. Imma just tag @[5:@Jak Angelescu] so she knows this is a thing XD. Can't wait to see what ya'll are up to. Also I wanted to use this opportunity to practice a little bit of my editing skills (nothing too fancy).

Here is my own "All around the World" Lick I showed once before. Only this time I play the extended version and I got my speed up to 200 Bpm.

Changed some patterns. Tell me if that suits or should I look for for another variation?

Disclaimer: I say “um” too much, and I apologize for the throat clearing.... it’s pollen season here in GA so the allergies and sinuses are pissed off at the moment. @[34751:@Christian J.S. Schulze Aguiar] Had the idea do like a little update video of what we are working on and this is mine. I go off on a lot of tangents, but that’s me. I’m like that in real life too lol.

Trying to get in the habit of doing at least one lesson per day.

This is the one song that i really want to get down but im debating if i wanna take a shot at learning it all the way through this early on because i know the solo is pretty challenging but i feel determined in plus its my favorite song from httk

Took on the lessons again. Also made an album with my media that was directly influenced by the CAGED System. @[5:@Jak Angelescu] EDIT: I have no idea how to create an album without having to reupload the riffs for it LOL

Check this out! Im on drums on this EP. Missing playing shows, help us out during these times and listen and share!

A guitar solo i created for Jenn's song. This was my first ever guitar solo challenge and I loved creating a solo for this amazing song of Jenn's.. I am really and truly grateful for the family I have here at the Synyster Gates School. I learned everything from here, I wanna thank everyone in my family here. I love connecting here with my family and learning from each and everyone. It gives me extreme joy and happiness.

I found that when i was barring and rolling to play multiple notes on different string but same fret the notes werent clear or played together. So, using the lessons on sweeping I developed this new kinda way i'm quite liking. Hope it helps!

Took a short video with my phone while practicing... :) Sorry for the crappy quality and frame rate.

This was supposed to be a solo challenge, but I made it a riff challenge. :)

Avenged Sevenfold - Seize The Day Solo (Improvised Re-Write) So I decided to be a bit creative with my first post, having started learning sweep picking, I've come up with an improvised re-write of Seize the Day guitar solo with a bit of sweep in, simple sweeps, nothing too complex.

Here's the analysis for Angels

Keep on learning new songs and trying to solo standing up 😅.
