    Hail To The King Intro Speed Plateau

    Yeah that’s not a bad idea actually I could try and go like 95 for a minute or so and then slow it down, I think John Petrucci actually talked about something like that in a video I saw but forgot about. And yeah but do you know how and like what he practiced to get to his level? Thanks for the...

    Hail To The King Intro Speed Plateau

    Hey guys lately I’ve been frustrated with my speed progression on the main intro lead lick that spans for the first minute, (you know it). Anyways I’ve been working on this riff since December 20th so three months now. I’m using the app called “Amazing Slow Downer” where you can slow down songs...

    Improvising

    Hey I was wondering if I could get some help from you guys on your approaches to improvising and learning scales. First off whenever you guys like to solo over something what do you think about?

    Using a Metronome For Riffs

    Hey I was wondering if I could get some help on how to use a Metronome to practice a certain riff. Okay so I’ve been practicing the main riff of Hail To The King since late December and I’ve been using an app to slow it down and practice it on loop, I managed to get it up to 92 percent speed but...

    Happy birthday Jimmy

    Yeah the Rev’s song writing was top notch, you got stuff like pinky smooth, afterlife and a little piece of heaven. I kinda wonder how Brooks feels sometimes because the Rev has such a legacy and stuff you know 😂 he’s a beast in his own right though. And thanks I want to learn it pretty badly...

    Solo writing frustration

    Thanks dude! That’s really good advice, just by listening to a lot of great solos it seems there’s a general theme that’s put around it, kinda like the outro solo from so far away it all seems to fit so well.

    Happy birthday Jimmy

    His singing in Mezmer is great! The dude sang in that song, wrote the piano parts and was a beast on the drums! Legend. Syn’s intro solo is so awesome too I’m thinking about learning it.

    Solo writing frustration

    Solo writing frustration

    Solo writing frustration

    Hey guys so I’m sitting here at one in the morning pretty frustrated not gonna lie trying to write a solo under a riff I have looped in a pedal. I came up with a tapping lick a week ago for it that I thought sounded pretty cool as a solo intro but after that I’ve been tying for an entire week to...
