    The end of the hunt

    Does anyone have any opinions or things I should know about gloss v matte finishes, the gloss necks feel amazing as well as the matte ones but is there anything I should be aware of as I may go for the gloss black and silver but I am not too sure.

    Struggle with pinch harmonics

    I can pretty much hit them 99% of the time after realising one thing, slanting your pick works wonders. Not a huge slant like 70 degrees but slightl more than what you would usually do, it helps dig into the string and create more of a vibration which will resonate easier when it hits flesh

    You Guys! I Am So Excited! My New Picking Technique Is Working!

    I know exactly how it feels, I recently realised I held the pick in a really uncomfortable way and although it is weird coming to grips with it the strides I have made are huge. Well done, cant wait to see how you progress with it over time!

    What kind of pedals do I need for the a7x sound?

    Try using virtual plug ins, a lot of the time people have amps like the hellwin and they upload the tones.

    Muscle memory loss

    Yes, I seem to be able to play certain lead lines well but after a while, it starts to deteriorate and I’m not too sure if it is overthinking or another factor and how to fix the issue.

    Muscle memory loss

    Hey, recently i have been practicing lead and I have found vertain things that work in terms of holding the pick and wrist movement but as of yesterday all that has gone and it may be due to over thinking(I do it way to much) or something else but it is definitely a limiting factor in getting...
