It does feel strange indeed when you first change your picking hand shape but very soon you'll get used to that, trust me!! And of course this will NOT affect your sweeping and economy in any way, it's just that your hand will stay more steady when doing all the job which means less movements for better and faster execution! Backing you are asking, is it for THIS lesson? You want full tempo backing or? I'm already getting used to it and you are right, I can feel the steadiness already! Yes, that is the lesson I would like the backing for and full tempo please. Thanks Muris! |

Alright Muris, my practice session went really well this morning. Changing my right hand by curling my fingers made a HUGE difference. I think I am going to make some good progress this week. I think the pinky anchoring was my problem all along. Changing strings feels much smoother now and especially on the last two runs. I am also finally getting over the wanting to sweep urge when changing strings. The change in right hand posture also helped my economy picking. That little tip was worth it's weight in gold!! Thanks Muris, I just might get some AP chops yet. 2 words, hell yeah! -------------------- Youtube

Your picking looks like new Monte
and I believe we solved rolling nicely which is easy to notice if you compare those 2 clips!! Spot on about fanned fingers, perhaps you could just THINK of curling them while playing, might be hard to handle at the beginning but becomes habit after a while, no worries. Looking forward to 120 bpm take and of course String Skipping lesson, can't wait to see how you're doing there, awesome progress Monte. -------------------- Youtube

Muris, could you tell me what you have planned for me once we get done with AP boot camp? Oh, there are so many things around to work on, lets keep it secret for now. I have NEVER worked this much on AP!! !'m excited that I might actually get some AP chops. I know the feel and guess what, you've already got some chops. -------------------- Youtube

I happens all the time Monte and no worries,
have a break from those lessons for a while, no big deal!! Btw, I'm really glad you've been working on this Phrygian Beginner lesson, those kind of stuff are always good to pay more attention to very important details like vibrato, dynamics, overall feel etc. Speaking of it, I have a suggestion, how about to try dialing gain lower, specially for this Phrygian Beginner lesson? Those are slower lick, nothing scary and with lower gain ( even kind a OD ) you'll have much more space for dynamic, give it a shot. You can do the same for everything that is not difficult technique wise, less gain also means better articulation, bare that in mind. In a mean while here's another home work for you. take this same BT for Phrygian serial and record a solo over it, compose it, let it be musical but don't be afraid to shred here and there if you want tho, keep it wise and aim to satisfy some random listener, then we'll listen to it and discus you composing skills. -------------------- Youtube

Absolutely Monte, practicing technique is what we all have to do
but it's nice to also to look around and see how it actually sounds in your own music! Looking forward to those takes, great job so far!! Ohh, and BTW, do you mind putting back your old avatar Monte? It's very scary to give advices while looking at Mr. Vai. -------------------- Youtube

Thanks for update Monte,
you did make a huge plans and I can't wait to see those next takes! I see you were using whammy bar A LOT here which is great nonetheless but there are some quite a shorter notes and you did dive after most of them, it sounded like overpushed and out of tune cause you indeed don't have enough time to perform all those whammy tricks there and keep them sweet sounding. I'm talking about smaller details here, phrasing moments that you should think of when you play or compose, those details no matter how small they are are making major difference! Picking was fine too, you did open your fist pretty much on last section but that is NOT a problem at all, just try to close it and not anchor when doing faster stuff, for slower licks you can even use your teeth, just don't break them! Good job Monte, keep 'em coming! -------------------- Youtube
