    Am i sweeping right?

    Hi there! So by the looks of things you're downpicking on parts where you should be sweeping - you have 3 notes to play on the down sweep but your wrist is making an individual down pick for each one. The way to fix this is to slow way way down - like much slower than you think - and try one...

    How to reduce wrist pain after practicing?

    I'd definitely get that checked by a doctor as that's an unusual thing that shouldn't really be happening when playing. However it's also worth checking some wrist posture videos to make sure you're not over-stretching in any way 😊

    arm exercises to reduce rigidness

    Hey Dan, You should send a video in of you picking so we can see what your technique is like, but here are a few tips that really helped my picking: 1. Make sure you're not squeezing your pick. A tight squeeze on the pick can end up contributing to arm tension. You'll want a really relaxed...

    Incredible John Mayer solo I just found

    Great find! I love some of the tremolo picking he was doing as the solo was building up. Really cool!

    I just love PRS, the thrill of the chase trying to get Royalties from over a year ago is what makes me want to wake up and write tunes for TV in the morning 👌

    Matt confirms album will ship prior to summer 22 tour dates

    So exciting! I'm not even bothered about the delay. As discussed above, there could be a million reasons to why the album has took so long and why they're choosing to wait longer to release it - the obvious ones like Covid, or like @Ed Seith mentioned about all the Major Label fuss, adding time...

    I'm not sure what a Double Dominant Parallel is, as I've never heard the term before. But I've done a quick analysis: /I vi / ii V / (Standard jazz progression 1, 6, 2, 5) then / iii vi / ii V / (3, 6, 2, 5) - / I / IV #IV diminished - this could be a...

    So yesterday I realised I hit a new teaching milestone - I've now reached 30 students & for the first time in my career & I'm very close to having to turn new students away. Crazy to think during the first lockdown I had only 2 students a week! 😅
