    Is this guitar related or something bigger

    Are there any types of stretches you found useful? I never thought to do them before since i had always heard its only useful if you have muscle and joint problems.

    Is this guitar related or something bigger

    There have been a few issues I have been struggling with for a while and I have thought for a while that there could be a bigger reason for it. They are mainly to do with posture, tension and rigidity. One of the issues is to do with posture. I cant help feeling like its to do with arm...

    The Real Slim Shady

    Perhaps a better name is "Diminished licks, 0 chicks".😂 That reel to reel sound super cool, hopefully someone might have one kicking about somewhere.

    The Real Slim Shady

    Absolutely, I think it was the time period really, stereo was just becoming popular in studios like Abbey Road and they were just going nuts.

If you dont know me, first of all, you are lucky, believe me there are people I have met just begging to be in your shoes.😂 My name is...

    Memory and discomfort

    Hey man, thanks for advice! As far as theory goes, I have a document I started with stuff like the circle of fifths, names of intervals, chord formulas etc from the beato video and stn school and I'm currently working on fretboard layouts and major scales. Ive got some blank templates to fill...

    Tremelo picking and sudden starts

    The main goal was to make it feel like one smooth motion at high speeds. I find that sometimes when I play it can sound like I am ending on one string, moving on to another and then playing the notes on that one etc as apposed to all the notes flowing one after the other. I also experience it on...

    Memory and discomfort

    This is a post I feel like I should've probably made a while ago but better late than never. Recently in conjunction with learning and improving my technique I have been trying to learn more theory. Through the time I have been playing I have mainly been learning songs so never grasped basic...

    Tremelo picking and sudden starts

    I find that with fingers jumping everywhere it tends to be when im not playing scale type runs since when im doing semi chromatic work they are all running in succession to each other and i know when each finger will fall but if im playing something that isnt as linear my fingers feel (this...

    Tremelo picking and sudden starts

    Here is the 90 bpm vid, one thing I know for sure is that my fretting hand fingers are lifting up a lot which makes it hard to get a smooth run, the video used chromatics as apposed to semi chromatics because of this. Everything felt normal in the picking hand it was just the fretting hand that...

    Tremelo picking and sudden starts

    Absolutely, I will have to post it tomorrow since I am currently on a caffeine filled rush to get essays in for uni. I did quickly attempt it at 90 and there are some issues, mainly with hand sync and excess force being used in my fretting hand but I do definitely see what you mean about the...

    Tremelo picking and sudden starts

    Heres a video I took at 75 bpm doing semi chromatic work, if the video isn't great I can try and shoott it from a different angle. Apologies for the low sound

    Tremelo picking and sudden starts

    Ive been trying to work on my alternate picking technique but I cant get a consistent controlled result at high speeds. The big problem is I cant figure out what feels natural. Ive been playing for 11 years and it still feels alien. I cant find a hand position that allows for for relaxed yet...

    Thanks man, I have heard a lot of people talk about it as if its a vocal line so I will try and see what I come up with when I hum out a melody or rhythm etc

    I have been trying to get more comfortable with improv and delving into using different positions of the major scale but im noticing a few things and I was hoping for some possible advice. Mainly its about tempo and phrasing. I find that I split everything into blocks because I struggle to...
