    Solo Trouble

    Great tip Rowan. I never thought of my thumb position for all these years. Somehow it managed to work out with me even though I started with horrible thumb position. I still do. But its a great tip for beginners since they should not make mistake in this vital thing.

    I'm done with lead playing

    Yo Lachlan, don’t be disheartened. Playing lead is by no means easy and remains a mystery for many of us. But we have our own tastes and expectations from ourselves. So do not let your expectation bog you down. Discover it at your own pace. Just go through Syn’s solo trouble thread and you will...

    Again learnt something new Jak. I have seen this stuff a lot in solos but did not know it had a dedicated name to it which sounds like a bird.

    Struggling With Combining Two Styles :(

    I don’t know how it sounds Jak. But I will say cut your nails and get some nail picks (i think that’s what it’s called). (I don’t anything about classical/jazz playing….so can’t say it that effects the tone/playing)

    "Shredding isn't good music/it takes no talent/it has no feel" thoughts

    Agreed. It’s all about emotion. shredding is just a tool like other broad techniques. Some players can put feel in to shredding, some can not. So shredding is not good music is almost equivalent to saying something like playing pentatonic scales is not good music. It’s all upto the player how...
