Every time I see Jason in his actual situation, I just want to cry. That is a prove of how unfair is the world sometimes

Hi Zsolt!

Tnx for your constructive input man!I really appreciate your effort in giving these advices.

I actually enjoy playing slow now. After a long time the lines sound right(althou they are no where near the original tempos) and I'm more relaxed. What about your MTP's? I see you don't have any. Perhaps you are available in the second circle?

Hej Zsolt,

I didn't see your reply The thing I am implementing now is playing really slow (50bpm) and cleaning everithing up. I think I hit a wall because not realizing how to practice and thinking 'I can play this faster, no need for slowing down'. I read an article about practicing everithing at low tempo and playing it perfect for 21 days. It has something to do with human psichology. After 21 days something becomes a habbit. Perhaps it seems as a long time but I'm gonna try this approach.
An other thing I wanted to ask is relaxation. How relaxed do you fingers have to be? I try to have the left hand as relaxed as possible. Im not sure about the right hand. Does the attack have to be hard? When I attack hard with my right hand I get stiff. So any advice on that matter would be nice.

Hi Zsolt!

I hope you guys don't mind that I throw myself into this thread .)
Well I wanted to ask for an advice on practicing. I also have a limited amount of time and try to focus on really specific parts of my playing.I get up early in the morning and have 1hour for playing every day ,the time in the afternoon is bonus. Sometime I have 1 hour or 3 hours in the afternoon but it depends of the work load this week. In the morning I try to play 30mins tapping then 30min AP(usually a classical piece-Mozart, Bach)...if I have more time i throw in some sweeping (i suck at that ).

But I'm not really sure if my approach is right. I try to push myself with the metronome and often change speeds..I tried many lessons here at GMC but get discouraged after 2-3 weeks (some songs even months) when I see its not comming to the end speed. So can you advice how to approach the metronome practice (how many repetitions , how much to increase the metronome, how many days to play it)...for me the thing 'play it until you play it perfect' doesn't work...somedays I play it good, push the tempo...then the other day it's worse than before...I don't know if these oscilations are normal..sometimes it seems to me that no matter what I do it doesn't get any better ... Perhaps I have to great expectations

Well I would be really greatfull for a pattern that I can follow when practicing....this 500 repetions sound good ...but how long, and how- how big are the chops?

BR,
Denis

\m/ Awesome!!!

Crap...there are pinch harmonics in CFH!! I still can't do those!

Marcus is in Blind Guardian...not Grave Digger. Was he a part of Grave Digger at some point?

symphony of destructioN!!!!!!! dooo it :D:D:D:D

That would be cool! What do you think about "Excalibur" by Grave Digger? That song is awesome...and doesn't sound too technical...maybe I'm wrong!

So im making a solo to the song Viking KOng by paul gilbert and i have made this lick:

E:--------------------------------------------------------
B:--------------------------------------------------------
G:-------13-14-16---------------13-14-15-------------
D:--------------------12-14-15--------------------------
A:---------------------------------------------12-14-15-
E:---------------------------------------------------------
Using the E dominant phrygian scale.

How do i make this lick more gilbertish?

I cant play it at full speed yet, but i bet you can.. how does it sound? is it a gilbert sounding lick?

Thank you Zsolt

As you maby see i have posted this at emirs and jose`s forums too. Its becouse i want to see your different aproches. i hope its ok

Braer

Me too

Sometimes I doubt Zsolt is human too

hehe:)

another question, on the chorus part. how do you tap the octave higher? i get a real bad sound out of it


I also saw there was a mistake in the corius part, in the animated fretboard the stood 7 but you played 5th fret
