    Double tracking and timing issues

    It makes sense, im ridiculously hard on myself so even a minor slip up results in a redo. most of the time its due to hearing two different pickstrokes when i want it to sound like one. thsts probably normal and nothing to be concerned about but im honestly not sure.

    Double tracking and timing issues

    I have been doing a lot of recording and one of the looming issues is my inability to record the same thing twice, I really struggle to try to get tracks in time as I play more based on feel and its a big pain. Any tips for improving as it feels like even the easiest riffs are out of my reach to...

    Picking issues

    Its definitely more comfortable, at the moment i have my thumb behind the 4 fret (pictured) as the stretch to the third fret is a bit uncomfortable

    Picking issues

    I'm playing 3-5-7 in the pic so should I have it more towards the third fret?

    Picking issues

    I have a few pictures of an issue that i think needs to be sorted before anything else. It’s not too much of an issue other than when im playing scales but due to a reason which im not too sure of, my thumb doesnt sit straight on the back of the neck. When reaching down to the lower strings i...

    My Theory Journey

    Hey guys, just thought I would start a thread with some updates about my music theory progress. After all my backups and original projects being wiped I had to record a ton of new riffs and writing them as well as coming up with leads was ridiculously difficult. I never really looked at theory...

    Picking issues

    I usually have a fairly light grip and for sweeping it isnt too much of an issue but i find when doing econ or alternate that the pick can move around in my fingers when it hits the string

    Picking issues

    Sorry i haven't responded, i haven't been in a good place mentally for a long time now and its making it hard to come on here and really interact. Yeah that makes sense, I think there has been a lot going wrong over the 9 years I've been playing, there have been times it has gotten to the point...

    Picking issues

    I will definitely send a picture, I use 2mm picks but i will try experimenting with others. As for the amount of pick showing, its just under half since my thumb comes over the center of the pick

    Picking issues

    I tend to have my pick slanted downwards 15 degrees or up 15 depending on which direction Im moving and its tilted 15 degrees so the edge of the pick makes contact with the string.

    Picking issues

    Hey dudes, ya miss me! It's been a while. Over the course of the past few months I have been practising a lot of technique, my sweeping and legato has become more fluid but one thing that seems to not improve is my alternate and economy picking, the main stumbling block is that everything feels...

    The Pharaoh’s Revenge

    Hey guys, the project is taking longer than expected due to college and just a HUGE lack of creativity, I have most of the main ideas minus the solo recorded and it’s just a case of finding how all the parts could fit and flow and recording it all in one take by easter time.

    Pick resistance and smooth movements

    Thanks you to, I have definitely tried to do pick slantjng but it is something that I have neglected for a while, will have to get back to work and maybe do a progress video on it. As for mindset and picking height I would say I dig in due to my aggressive rhythm technique and pinch harmonics, I...

    Pick resistance and smooth movements

    Greetings and salutations! One of my favourite main focuses over the past year or so has been on picking (alternate, economy, etc) but one thing I have noticed is that my pick tends to almost get caught on the strings if you will. Sounds weird I know but essentially what I mean is that it seems...
