Something that has helped me is trying to mentally shift from playing along to the recording, to playing it anyway with the recording also on. You focus less on the recording and more on the playing and then it can sort of fall into place :) Hopefully that makes sense i'm not entirely sure how...
Hi I posted here a few days ago asking for Green Day suggestions and got a lot of great ones I'm working through, started with this one (special thanks to Lindsey, Kim and Ari for suggesting this) and decided to film a cover for it :) Any feedback is more than welcome thank you!
That playing is super tight awesome cover! Love the tone especially the chunkiness on those palm muted chugs!
Also unrelated to the playing but the halo statue and the PC lights are also really cool lol
Oh wow thank you everyone for all the responses! I'll get working through these :)
Edit: had some fun today learning American Idiot by ear, just need to get that second part of the solo down still!

Sorry I'm very awkward talking to the camera haha!
For my entry I have taken the teaching from the seven major scale positions and played them in one place on the neck which has helped me learn the shapes and differences better and how to apply them. The backing track is there to show the way...
Always been too scared to enter these but I'm gonna give this one a go, got a certain lesson in mind and the prizes are just too good to not at least try!
