Learning the Fretboard - 1st Position!
Didn't originally plan on uploading this as I started recording stuff this morning just to document my own progress. However, I figured it'd probably help my motivation to put it out there and want to improve on it later! Apologies in advance for my background, rambling, etc. So here we go, me...- Matt Wildcat

Thank you guys, I really appreciate hearing from ya. I think a big problem is I'm still trying to rush and get it done now. From what I'm hearing, a lot of people have been working on it for a long time before they finally get it down, and I gotta be more patient with myself. I think I'll still...- Matt Wildcat

Once again, I'm seriously struggling with sweeping, specifically Not Ready to Die. I feel like I've tried everything - Changing pick, changing picking angle, pulling off on the first note, trying to make it one fluid motion, everything. But no matter what I do, it just doesn't seem to work. I'm...- Matt Wildcat

$ynner $unday - More Mario + NRtD Sweeps
Using what I worked on in my last $ynner Saturday post, I decided to continue working on some more Mario stuff, the Bob-omb Battlefield/Cool Cool Mountain themes, as it utilises the strength I've been working on building up in my pinky finger and hand as a whole! It needs work with a metronome...- Matt Wildcat

How do you practice?
For the longest time, my main way of practicing was just picking whatever song I fancied and trying to learn it, and I'd just wing it. Of course I realised that doesn't really work all of the time, so I tried going through the lessons, finding some exercises and got myself into a routine of...- Matt Wildcat

Comment by 'Matt Wildcat' in media 'Pedal Contest Entry - Improv Solo'
Thank you so much!! My only problem was not knowing where else to take it, so I kept it short and sweet, but hopefully I can keep working on it or something similar and make them a bit longer!- Matt Wildcat

Pedal Contest Entry - Improv Solo
After 50 recorded attempts, here's my entry for the contest! I wanted to give improv another go since I really enjoyed seeing what worked and what didn't in the video I did months ago, but this time I wanted to try something a bit different! I started off on Lesson 20's overview of the...- Matt Wildcat

Synner Saturday 2 - Spider + C Maj Scale
Happy $ynner $aturday! Hope you're all practicing hard! Here's a few notes from the video: 1. In the Spider Exercise, I gotta work on descending down the strings, I keep missing notes as I do so. 2. In same exercise, constant alternate picking. 3. In my CMaj Scale, need to work on alternate...- Matt Wildcat

Thank you, Dom! It's gotten so much better compared to my first video! Using the metronome has seriously helped though because I normally go way too fast and screw it up 😂 Vibrato is finally coming along!- Matt Wildcat

Comment by 'Matt Wildcat' in media 'Blues Scale + VH Jump Intro'
Oh damn! I'm gonna take an educated guess and say its a 6th note, since the pentatonic uses 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7?- Matt Wildcat

SM64 Castle Walls Theme II (Synner Saturdays)
Getting in nice and early for Synner Saturday!! I've chosen to go back and improve on one of my favourite pieces today, this time with a metronome (Started from 110 and got to 135bpm by time of recording) and also standing up! Lots I needed to add/improve on, so here's a summary: -Muting...- Matt Wildcat

Positive Message For The Students, "Synner Days"
This, this, THIS!!! I love the idea so much!! Taking a day and dedicating it to improving what makes you happy, with the support and encouragement from the whole community, is awesome! It's so easy for things going on in life to destroy motivation (As I know too well), and as Jak has helped me...- Matt Wildcat

Comment by 'Matt Wildcat' in media 'Blues Scale + VH Jump Intro'
Ahhh, thank you Jak!!! It always helps me to remember things if I break them down, because I have to think about it more! And those vibratos are getting there, they've gotten a lot better than what they used to be! Right, let's see if I can get these! 1. It's basically a minor pentatonic scale...- Matt Wildcat
