    How to play tighter

    I have recently been doing bits on the side of save me (might have to delay for a few days :P) like sweeping, economy picking etc and it has been a slight burden as it meant i struggled with songs that are slower and playing bluesy style songs. I feel like my playing is looser and my right hand...

    Solo Trouble

    Another good song to practice double stops is Monkey Business by Skid Row it’s definitely a song worth learning if you are into 80s hair metal.

    What are you currently listening to?

    I have played the solo to the point where feeling is not a thing anymore. It has lost all its meaning XD

    "Whammy Bar tricks" without having a Whammy Bar

    I had a trick which was like a flitter and it involves just playing a note and quickly sliding to it from 2 frets below. I will post a quick video on it in the next few hours.

    Save me

    Does anyone have any tips on the divebombs in the beginning of the song as I am trying to get them spot on but i don’t really know how to achieve it?

    Economy picking vs alternate when it comes to shredding

    Economy definitely feels way easier to me (It has gone down considerably due to my practice time being decreased)it just seems a lot easier continuing the stroke onto the next string.

    The minor pentatonic scale series

    Hey synners, I thought that I would create a short post with some backing tracks to help with soloing. These are a selection that I tend to use and I find they work really well with things like bending and sliding. A new part to the series will be coming in a few days.

    The minor pentatonic scale series

    sorry for the re upload but there were quite a few grammar mistakes which drove me mad😂 The first thing I want to cover is the theory behind the minor pentatonic scale and to do that we must firs take a look at the scale it is derived from, the Minor scale! “But Dan, I dont here you ask, how do...
