Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve done this. And as I’m taking a break from practicing, I thought it’d be great to share with all of you what I noticed. We all agree that gain is our friend. But I remember when Syn issued the “Playing with myself” video you could hear how even his picking attack was against ALL the strings on EVERYTHING.
I noticed that my picking tends to “quiet” down a little on the clean channel in some spots. I couldn’t hear it on the gain, but I could easily hear it on the clean. Then my beloved ostinatos became annoyingly clunky sounding. So here is your challenge for the week!
Lesson 24’s pentatonic pattern. Upload a video of yourself playing the pattern at any speed you’re comfortable with on the CLEAN channel. Let’s hear if you have any clunks or stalls or timing bumps, or if your picking attack softens up or gets dull sounding.
I’ve been spending an HOUR working out the descend on that scale because my fingers get stupid. And it’s helped smooth out my sound a lot
I hope others join in! I’ll upload my video on this forum soon!
