    That makes sense to me. I'll start using headphones. Thanks again, your help is much appreciated.

    It's crazy because I was going to ask you about using headphones, but I deleted it because I figured it might've been a silly question. Lesson learned- always ask. Thanks man, I'll get right on that.

    You're right. Usually I do have it louder when practicing, but I didn't want it to overpower my guitar for clarity of the video. But I honestly could probably have it louder. I will start doing that, thank you. Gotta feel the pulse!

    That's kind of what I figured, that they each have their own level of control. I think I'll tag you once I get to those more advanced picking techniques, if that's alright with you. Would love your feedback because while everything I'm learning is important, I feel like technique is the most...

    Thank you for always diving deep into your analysis. I love hearing the specifics on my playing and how I can improve. I guess my only question is, once I get a feel for smaller picking motion on one string, what happens when it goes onto two strings? Meaning, when I start using it with actual...

    Awesome, thanks man. I'll practice keeping the movements smaller.

    Alt Picking (Lesson 40)

    Hello again everyone! I've been working on these exercises for a while, and I'm sure my left hand is sloppy, but I'm wondering more if my picking hand looks okay? Papa Gates talked about how Syn and many other great players angle the pick and tilt it back. I tried to find a decent camera angle...

    Comment by 'Anthony Peña' in media 'So Far Away (Solos)'

    Hey thanks for that. I've been "playing guitar" for a while now, but I didn't start taking it seriously until about a year ago. I'd love to help others who are just starting out, so thanks for thinking that I can. I've had some comments from people about what I can work on, and I've started...

    Lol, thanks man!! That really means a lot. After doing it and seeing how supportive everyone here is, I definitely feel much more comfortable posting. Thank you again!

    Comment by 'Anthony Peña' in media '“Sally’s Song” melody'

    Hey Alicia! Great job on this! I think something worth mentioning is that vibrato comes more from the wrist and less from the fingers. The fingers are the anchor, but the wrist is where you control your vibrato (and bends!). This is something that I'm currently working on too, so here's to...

    Thanks so much for your feedback! Looking back at the vid, I can definitely see your point about me tensing up once I started playing. I know that being relaxed is key to getting better, so thanks for pointing that out! I'll work on the solo in sections, slower, and work out the kinks. Thank you...

    "Nobody is more critical of me than me" I feel that man. We're all our own worst critics. Overcoming the fear and just doing it has really helped me today. So get ready for more soon! Looking forward to seeing your progress as well.

    You're right, and I see that now. Looking forward to seeing your Not Ready To Die progress! That's one of my favorites songs by them.

    Dude, thank you. These are all very insightful and helpful points. I'll write these down, and work on them, one piece at a time, starting today. I know it took a while to type that all out, so thank you for taking the time to do so. I especially love the "allow notes to breathe" bit. That's...

    That's one of the best things I could ever hear. Thank you so incredibly much for thinking so. I will work tirelessly until I get it right, and then I'll keep going.

    Yeah, that's been a common theme throughout my life lol. So it's time to put a stop to that. Also, sorry for calling you "man"! I was responding to the "dude" in your comment, but you know what they say about assuming! So thank you, madame. 😎

    Wow... thank you so much Jak. Our talk last night will likely be a marker that led to a milestone I'll continually look back on. You're darn right I want that feedback, haha! Thank you again. Looking forward to learning from everyone here!

    Thanks man! I really appreciate the feedback. I'll be sure to work on those starting today!! Thank you again.
