    What is your favorite song from The Stage album?

    Impossible to decide lol.... I say its a 3 way tie between The Stage, Higher, and Roman Sky. They all have something very unique and amazing about them....

    Comment by 'Lucas Weiman' in media 'Practice! (Also discovered I need to dangle my thumb)'

    The best and simplest advice I've ever heard on how to bend best: "The motion should be like turning a doorknob" Drape your finger over the neck like you are doing, and then turn your wrist like you're turning a doorknob, instead of moving your fingers. More leverage, less work, more swag lol...

    Looks like you're really coming along! One thing I would recommend adding in when you are practicing- Lets say you are practicing a sequence of 10 notes, and you know from experience you are likely to flub note #5, and sometimes #6. Instead of practicing all 10 notes in a row over and over like...

    City of Evil celebrates its 15th Birthday today

    I'll never forget playing beast and the harlot on guitar hero 2, which was my first time hearing a7x. Super fun to play and listen to, and the solo killed me a couple times on expert mode haha... must have run through it at least 50 times. Good times.

    Comment by 'Lucas Weiman' in media 'Pentatonic VII - Syn's Etudes - Synyster Gates School'

    I see. I ask because I used to use the gators and studied Syn's technique a lot when I was first learning how to play fast. I used them for several months before finding new picks that instantly gave me speed gains over the gators, and made me wonder why I even got them in the first place lol...

    Comment by 'Lucas Weiman' in media 'Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country Solo Cover'

    Not bad overall for sure... you actually were very close to nailing the shred section! The one thing that stuck out to me was that a lot of notes were off beat, if I were you that's where I would focus my efforts. Good luck!

    Keep hitting my knuckles on strings?

    My fist is essentially closed when I play, but not balled up to where my knuckles drag, so I know what you're talking about. I would adjust the position of the pick, first by placing your thumb a little bit lower on your index finger, (where they connect to hold the pick) that way the pick...

    recommendations?

    Just pick your favorite, that's the one you will have the most motivation to learn.

    Comment by 'Lucas Weiman' in media 'Afterlife attempt'

    Not bad! If you are interested in perfecting this riff, I would say the next step would be implementing the note on string six fret 6. I spent a couple years practicing this whole song all the way through so hopefully I can pass on something from that experience lol... The tab looks like this...

    Damn that was clean

    Damn that was clean
  20. Lucas Weiman

    Any Tips?

    Always find your max bpm you can play something clean first. Then practice the shit out of that speed until you are totally relaxed while you play, meaning you can breathe regularly while playing, your forearm, shoulder, elbow, back, neck, and jaw muscles are ALL relaxed and not too tense, and...
