    I’m a beginner and it’s not much, so I hope it’s enough. I was never good at arpeggios, but I figured challenging myself was the least I could do for Eddie. I hope you guys like this. I attempted the intro to Pretty Woman.

    Fender Strats don't have the features I want. I found the Strat I wanted when I bought this EBMM. Roasted flamed neck, STAINLESS FRETS, and active hum cancelling on the single coil pickups are a great recipe for a better Strat than a Strat! I also looked at the PRS Silver Sky, but balked at a $2200 price tag for a plain finish and nickel frets.

    @Ed Seith your video sounds good, maybe just play that on repeat throughout the song, till your bored or tired. Sometimes when you try to match the speed, you get good mistakes that improve the attack. I don't think I know that song.

    Should I post progress on mine? I can't play two parts at full speed, it gets too cramped at the 20th fret pulling off to 17 really fast. It sounds sloppy, I use all 4 fingers to bend and my annular finger lags a little bit and adds noise going fast. I'm at like 30-40% sight reading
    speed for Eruption. I haven't compared it to the actual track, can't tell if my hand is getting hurt or stronger. I might to go easy for a day to rest, adjusting my picking hand is a workout.

    I hope to play it at 80% before the deadline. Worried about 2 parts in particular
