    “Feeling” and “emotion” in music.

    I really don't know about tunings in a way that I could tell you which one sounds better or otherwise. But as far as tone goes, absolutely it evokes a different feeling or emotion. I've mentioned before in other discussions I enjoy the LoFi genre that's been prevalent as relax/study music...

    That was pretty fucking awesome man, thank you for sharing. Your transitions were really the noticably clunky parts so you should work on smoothing those out. But the timing was good and I got a good feeling for the song

    Comment by 'Kai C' in media 'Update To Alt Pick'

    Absolutely, and I understand the point of making the exercise like that. I spent some time on this one last night reworking as it was intended while also working on the eco picking 1. I'm just curious as to why some people or disciplines might be strictly alt picking when eco seems to be the...

    Can we just take a minute and appreciate Papa Gates's comedy?

    Fist Fight at the Waffle House and Blow Up Doll are my favorite haha. I wish my dad was that funny

    Comment by 'Kai C' in media 'Update To Alt Pick'

    So I'm going to pose this to anybody who reads this; what is the significant advantage to alt picking in this pattern? I paid attention to the comments on @Dominik Graeber 's video and PG said alt picking works better in intervals of 2 and 4 while eco in 3's. So why practice strict alt picking...

    Comment by 'Kai C' in media 'Update To Alt Pick'

    @Dominik Graeber Yoooooo I was literally just about to post this on your video!!!! I watched yours last night and then at breakfast this morning was thinking that I might be doing the same thing. So I looked at my video, did an air guitar, counted out the down/up strokes, and noticed I did the...

    At the point of giving up.

    I'm with @carlosmqr here, I'm new to this too man so I can't tell you anything about the long term because I'm not there YET. That's something an old teacher of mine said; "of course you can't do it YET. That's why you're in school, to get to the YET". It's all about a shift in mental attitude...

    I feel the same brother, that's why I'm always lurking on the forums. I haven't found anybody around me yet that shares a passion for anything at all. I'm surrounded by workaholics and alcoholics.

    Very Odd Post But I'd Love Your Insight🙂

    So since I have sleep issues I take sleep hygiene somewhat seriously, as best as I can. if you need any advice there just ask. Honestly there really isn't an advice on why your schedule is the way it is. Everybody has different chemical makeups. And for important reasons, like yours, we might...

    Update To Alt Pick

    I wanted to give an update to one of the videos I posted last week to a discussion thread on the etudes. This one is alt picking 1 (plus a little extra because I was feeling frustrated tonight). I'm still working to improve my speed. Improvement seems slow but hopefully I'll be able to look back...

    My new Syn custom!

    To be honest I really can't tell the difference. I imagine after playing the Duncan's that he based the customs off of those. They just sound so good. I personally prefer the plating over the humbuckers with his symbol engraved

    New tattoo!

    Nice!! I designed mine too so I could get that original feel. Yours turned out great

    My new Syn custom!

    Nice! That's an earlier model with the Invaders in it right? What would the tone difference be between that and the newer Red Rum model with his custom pickups?

    Hand size and guitar (what's yours?)

    I'm pretty jealous of that too. I've been working on your stretches and I think it's too soon to see a difference in reach. But I can feel it; my fingers feel more relaxed when hitting the notes. But I have to move my hand to hit certain notes. The etude I've been working on this week, for...

    Hand size and guitar (what's yours?)

    Going off of your videos, you and I match on hand sizes 😂

    Planning to return stronger

    Keep it up brother, you got it. Keep a journal of what you're doing and every time you play with a metronome log what speeds you reach. The next day start with that or a little below and work to a little bit faster.
