    Shadzman talking about his 2020

    The touring thing is a really strange one, but it makes sense when you think about it.

    Is this cheating?

    As long as what you're doing gets you closer to playing what you want & you've still worked your ears as much as you could, it's definitely not cheating. Cheating would be learning the tab off by heart and then pretending to someone that you transcribed it completely by ear :LOL:

    help me with improvisation

    I think everybody's technique differs for improv but this is my two cents: If I was improvising over an Am backing track I would tend to use some A minor blues/pentatonic scale (Any of the 5 shapes), for a certain type of sound - Most of the work I do with this scale is letting my ears guide...

    how to sustain a note

    Good question! There are loads of possible solutions: 1. A strong consistent grip on the note 2. A distorted signal 3. A Compressor in your signal chain 4. An Ebow - this will give you everlasting sustain as it's a Guitar Gadget It really all depends on what you're aiming to do though

    Help me

    I'd start at the very beginning like other people have suggested - If you're sitting there able to do/understand everything you cans see on-screen, then move on to the next lesson. Repeat this process for every lesson and you'll be exactly where you should be 🤓

    What's your guitar routine?

    My routine always falls around what I'm working on at the time - I try to split it between something technique & something Improv. So I'm working my hands & my ears 😊 Technique wise - This month I've been working on cleaning up my sweep picking muting - so sitting with a click at slow speeds...
