Almost got it. This riff is from a song that saved my life and it's only fitting that it be played on Jimmy's Dragon Telecaster. Just gotta smooth out the picking and get Jimmy's groove down.

My own funk progression, I'm not good either

Just started learning this today, and while it’s definitely not perfect I’m really happy with how quickly I’ve been able to pick it up. The last few months I’ve really been focusing on picking exercises rather than learning many songs, and I can start seeing it pay off.

Sorry for mistakes and elbow shots. I really needs Floyd rose. Syns guitar is my dream guitar!!

The first part I saw Joe Satriani do in an interview while warming up talking about when Steve Vai and him trained together. It was some time ago. I don't know a lot of their music. It may have been in one of the Guitar World Magazine Dvd's I had. I think it's good to practice because you switch between diagonal angles. I saw the shape in one of the recent lessons I did and remembered it. There's some pattern where it sounds okay connecting them but I forgot. To make the shape E:5 A:6 D:7 G:8 move that shape to different strings, up and down the neck and invert it too, to mix it up more. The invert would be E:8 A:7 D:6 G:5 Got lost after that, was going to try and show this hammer on thing to make the fingers more stronk Energy has been low, didn't want to talk now

I'm backkkk! So last time I posted my practice of the first half of this solo..seemed right to post an update with the whole thing. The second part is especially hard for me because it has a lot of bends (at least for me 😂)..Bends are still a work in progress 😅 Anyway, any tips on getting rid of that extra noise? I really don't know if it is a matter of practice, or if it has something to do with my fretting hand doing something wrong?? Any suggestion is appreciated! (I'm working on my rhythm and palm muting too with Enter Sandman, hope to post that soon 😁) Quick Edit for more complete infos: backing track is not on full speed, it is at approx 90%.

Okay time for the 1 month update! I've been working on this quite a bit and have definitely been able to add some speed, though I still have a way to go (this is at 125bpm vs. 110 a month ago). Old video is here: https://synner.com/media/starting-one-month-guitar-challenge-i-am-a-viking.4998/

Whaddup Folks! It certainly has been a while, but I am back, for now....Here is the link to the note randomizer I use : https://random.bretpimentel.com/

Final day of this challenge! I want to challenge myself on this one, so I tried to incorperate some tapping in there. I know I am very weak in that area, so I wanted to try and take this chance to practice that. All in all this challenge was fun to do! It allowed me to make stuff of my own, something I had been afraid of doing, so I enjoyed this challenge!

These are all of the drop c# songs I know for avengedsevenfold. I just learned scream 10 mins ago and others I haven’t played in a while sorry. Feedback is appreciated.

Day 5 of this challenge. Can't believe I'm almost finished with it. I didn't really have a set plan with this one, I just kinda winged it and tried to have fun with, but I managed to compelte this day regardless!

Taking another crack at Zeppelin. Fuckin' Jimmy Page. Lol.

Day 4 of this challenge! Probably my least favorite string, the accursed G-string. That said I tried to use my pinky more in this riff, trying to subconsciously incorperate my pinky into more works and train it up a bit. Had fun with this one actually!

One of, if not my absolute favorite song by Alesana. I’ve always loved this band and was fortunate enough to work for front man Shawn Milke’s record label for a number of years, as well as helping Alesana run their social media pages. They’ve never compromised their art for anyone and I’ll always admire that about them. Usually I try to post the best takes when adding something to the riff section but not today. Here’s my raw slightly messy cover of their stellar song “Lullaby of the Crucified” from my favorite album of theirs, “A Place Where the Sun Is Silent”. Enjoy friends “Sing a touching lullaby, and we’ll watch the angels cry”

A string - backing track pop rock A major I didn't notice it was A major, next one I'm going to try some other sounding scale. Probably Diminished, I haven't done the lesson yet so I guess it would be cool to reflect on how I did later on. I got to get back on track with my playing. Already late otherwise I would have put it pretty loud. I haven't watched it yet

Full cover of Saucy by Polyphia off of the New Levels New Devils album. This one is super fun, definitely has some saucy passages (not a pun I swear). Enjoy!...
