    To all those old dogs out there - how was it when you started out?

    Oh, for sure, nothing against the content at all. Unfortunately most of the mail order instructional stuff almost required you had some prior knowledge. There is so much specific content on youtube now that it makes most of this stuff redundant, but as you say, at the time it was all we had.

    Doug Marks Metal Method, I think I have a ripped copy of that on DVD here somewhere, along with a handful of Lick Library DVDs. All kinda useless now thanks to Youtube.

    To all those old dogs out there - how was it when you started out?

    It would have been around 1990/91 when I first picked up a guitar. I was living in a small rural town that had one guitar teacher, I guess I was lucky there was one. I took a couple of terms of lessons before I started to learn on my own. Accessing learning material was much more difficult, and...

    Best metal guitarists of the year?

    I never pay any attention to all these stupid polls, sites put them out for clicks, they mean nothing. Poll aside, both Mick and Jim are great players and can shred with the best of them.

    Alternate Picking Exercises 4 – Lesson 76

    It sounds like you may just be trying to play the exercise at a speed you are not comfortable with yet. You want to bring your speed up gradually, start slow with a metronome and bring the speed up a couple of BPM only when you can consistently nail the exercise at the current speed. Bump up...

    Breaking bad habits?

    Play slowly, play deliberately really focusing on playing 'the new way' and build bit by bit. Overwriting the old muscle memory can be a bit of a task.

    Comment by 'Adin Shepherd' in media 'Progress on A7X Nightmare: April to December 2019'

    Great job Rowan, some solid progress there. One thing I noted in particular is that you are keeping your fingers in a better position and not dropping them down under the fretboard as much. Keep working on that, perhaps practice the good old 'spider' excercise, play it slow and really focus on...

    Recording distorted sounds with your Pc

    Video should be fixed. I will give recording via the Rec Out a go after dinner, if that doesn't help with the high gain recording I guess an interface may be the best option or going in as dry as possible and adding effects post recording.

    Recording distorted sounds with your Pc

    Tried recording from the USB out to my laptop, couldn't get a decent heavy distorted tone ( sounded like a can of bees), a dirty sound was OK as was a clean tone (listen below), very low volume in the recordings though. Going to try from the Rec Out into usb using the Rocksmith Realtone cable next.

    Comment by 'Adin Shepherd' in media 'Nothing Else Matters Intro-Metallica'

    Sounds pretty good Ash. If I could offer some advice, try to get your ring finger in on the picking action. If you must anchor you picking hand use the pinky and keep the thumb for the E A and D strings and Index, Middle and Ring for the G B and e (assuming you haven't done so already).

    Introduction To Strumming & The Tik Tok Pattern – Lesson 11

    Yeah, it will get easier. Having said that, I still prefer a thinner pick on strum heavy songs.
