Continuing from yesterday! So, there's still a lot of work to be done here. I've identified my new biggest issue, and that is my arm locking up. Watching over the video, I can see how badly it's affecting because a. The sweeps are not as clean as I thought and b. my arm is aching from being locked up. I need to really get that raking motion down, so more focus on that it is! Hitting the notes seems to be better. Me reviewing my picking pattern has helped immensely as I don't hit that open note as much (of course except when I video it! >:( ) but obviously it still needs some conscious work done. Pinky finger may also still need some work, and I wasn't able to figure out the pull-off that was recommended to me yesterday just yet. Also, metronome issues and just me not being able to count nor hear. Also, please excuse the cat screaming in the background. He likes to crash my recording sessions.

Keep on trying to play standing up. I love these punk songs to practice because they are short but intense and really fun to play 🎸🤟🏴‍☠️

So Far Away (Solos)

Hey guys!! My name is Anthony, and @[5:@Jak Angelescu] has encouraged me to finally get out of my shell and post. I've been on the school for almost a year now, and I've incessantly battled the idea that I wasn't good enough to upload anything. But I suppose I'll always feel that way, so what good is practicing and grinding and playing if nobody gets to hear it?! Anyways, here is my first upload - So Far Away by the almighty A7X. Syn's emotion is so fucking good in this solo, and I hope one day I can make the guitar sing just like him. Any advice on bends, vibrato, or any feedback at all is always welcome! Thank you guys. Happy shredding 🤘🏼

Trying set me free

Not there yet but getting there
I like the idea of diddling something of your own in middle or in the end of a cover solo. If anyone else does this kinda thing let me know. It's the absolute best.
Working on my vibrato. Vibrato is like the fingerprint of the guitarist and I’m working on finding MY sound 💕 Single notes are a bit different for me as I tend to only play them when I practice scales. I typically always choose songs with open chords or power chords to play, so this is fun and different for me.
Normally wouldn't post stuff like this. Practising NRtD's first 8 bars of intro solo over and over again. It's not great at all, it's really sloppy. I've managed 45-ish mins practice today, had to skip yesterday, so it could've been a lot better, but my main focus was to show off my progress on my picking hand, as I've managed to change how I hold my hand (Thanks to Jak and Ben!). All comments and critiques welcome!

Hi litle practice on arpeggios . Sorry, i am stil practicing that stuff, so thats not clean. If you want, just ask, i can tab it and send it! Peace :)
@[5:@Jak Angelescu] and @[1427:@Ed Seith] took me a while to get it down but your tips helped me a lot! I actually believe it wasn't the top strings ringing out but my picking hand palm creating a harmonic-ish sound when playing. But I could correct that by adjusting my fretting hand like you guys suggested.
Practicing Pertetual Burn by Jason Becker as my lockdown challenge. What a monster. 🎸🎸
This is my new challenge with all the free time! Jason Becker is insane.

Texas Flood- analysis

Sorry for the rambling/me practicing the beginning at the end but here's the analysis for Texas flood. Also, @[42619:@Aileé Guerra Aréizaga] asked me for specific type of songs that tie in with the collab for the poll so it will be three of those and stairway to heaven in the next poll but I'll have to do some research first
Tuned to D# standard to match what you may call my “vocals”.
Been practicing a new technique which goes down-down-down-up-down. Got that one from Matt Heafy from one of his streams. But I get a lot of unwanted string noise. Maybe @[5:@Jak Angelescu] or @[1427:@Ed Seith] know what's going on?? I'm normally really cautious about my muting but something isn't right!

Disappeared for a while. Been busy with life and so on, so good to be back! Just having a look around on the new website layout. Hope to get used to it!
@[4668:@Alicia Willis] asked me to play tuesdays gone so here it is! I hope i did it justice 😅

This is the last original song I'll be posting for a while until I upload my album. This song will be up on all streaming services along with, "May I Have Th...

Quarantine noodle

My brain is kinda fried right now so I figured I'd share what I play when I don't feel inspired that much. It's basically just noodling without any real idea in mind.
Was just feeling like recording my progress this evening. I never listened to me playing this song because I always have ear buds in to hear the song while playing. Haven't learned the repetitions on the outro and messed up the pre solo riff. Really gotta work on that one. Surprised I managed to play the solo with the Wah. Lol
Jak wants me to play standing for learn. She learned how to do it best by watching others🤘🏽 So this one is for you @[5:@Jak Angelescu]
