I'm gonna try and pump out all the sweep picking exercises within a few weeks. I have a feeling V is gonna be the hardest. If you have any questions or need tips on sweeping ask away! I have always seemed to progress with it much better than other techniques

Finally tackling some much needed metal rhythm work!
Making some ambient sounds with my Ebow and loop station (ft my rather curious cat). Enjoy folks!
(This one got taken down a while back while changes were being made to the site) This might be my favourite Avenged Sevenfold solo! This is me attempting it, enjoy!

Thank to @brianhaner for the blues masterclass
I’d love any and all feedback on this. If you see anything other than what I’ve mentioned in the video please feel free to voice that as well. I’ll note, I am still working on the palm mutes. I think I’m doing pretty good for the most part, but I do have some oopsies occasionally now 😆
