I believe it's copy button, yeah, maybe you have to hold it for few secs or som, not sure,
haven't used it in months, would have to plug it and try again.  One thing tho, there are presets and programs, preset is actually your sound, settings that you use (mode, amount of gain, EQ etc), program is just a midi location and there are 127 of them. In other words, you can store same presets on several location or on several programs, that would be "copy preset to program" feature, I was doing it a lot but I really cannot tell for sure how to do it, must look at the manual. It's very useful option when you use Triaxis with a FX unit such is G Force, you make 2 identical programs using same preset on Triaxis but you make to different programs on G Force, different effects. As for progression, once again you were very close.  Here's how it looks tho: Gm, Ebmaj7, Cm, Gm, F, Ebmaj7, F, Bb, Fm, Bb, Ebmaj7, Asus4, D, Gmadd9. So we have Gm key in the beginning, Fm chord leads us shortly into key of Eb. Chord that brings things back to normal is Asus4, it is supposed to work as second dominant, dominant for D chord which is dominant in a key of Gm. However pure second dominant would be A major chord, it sounds too obvious imho and that's why I used Asus4 instead. One more thing, if you analyze guitar part you'll see that we play kind a Am pentatonic there so it's actually made of Am chord, talking about this Asus4. So you can use 2 scales here, Gm scale while we're in key of Gm and then Eb scale, for key of Eb. Over Asus4 the safest bet is to stick to the chord, without too much "scale like" playing. Or you can simply try to sing a line and see what is it like, as I suggested you in chat earlier.

I see your question and here's the answer, theory involved ofc.
Major and minor scales/of keys have 7 notes and there's a chord on each of those notes. We can build most simple ones as triads or go more further with adding 7ths, 9ths etc. Here are the chords in Gm scale/key: Gm, Adim, Bb , Cm, Dm, Eb and F. Gm scale works over ALL those chord while we are in a key of Gm. I did played Gm scale only cause I have no where else to go, kind a! But there's another topic here called "strong notes", it gives you smoother sound in your playing. Strong note is usually a note included in certain chord that we are at, those notes are fine spots to play longer notes. Now if you analyze every chord in this lesson and every long note that appears you'll realize that I was doing just that, all the time. I'll mention singing, sing and analyze the notes, 99% your voice will naturally tend to lay down on "strong notes". To be able to play strong notes you must know the structure of chords tho. First long note that appears in this lesson is a D note, bended B string on 13th fret. What chord do we have there? It's Ebmaj7 chord and notes in that chord are : Eb, G, Bb and D. It works like that, quite simple. Same thing is with Eb scale or key. Just be aware, it lasts for 3 chords ONLY, Fm, Bb and Eb, after that we have Asus4 etc, I explained you what happened there. -------------------- Youtube

Yeah, it comes with time, experience, hard work and more theory knowledge!
Few days is just fine, happy recordings and looking forward to your takes.

Nice research on chords,
those 4 types of chords are triads, yeah, 7th chords have more options and we will work on them as we go deeply in MTP. Circle of fifths is used for scales/keys with sharps, to find out how many sharps are in specific key/scale. Also there's circle of fourths, we use it to find out all scales/keys with flats, C (no flats), F (1 flat), then Bb, Eb, Ab, Db and Gb. It also works with relative minors, Am (no flats), Dm (1 flat), Gm, Cm, Fm, Bbm and Eb minor.

Much better, better control, wider vibrato!!
Those chromatic lines are giving you most of the problems still, specially in the last lick, over high E and B strings. Perhaps you should add more chromatic exercises into your practicing, like those standard 1234 2341 3412 etc exercises? That with help you with finger independence for sure. Your guitar wasn't 100% in tune tho but it doesn't spoil a progress, well done, looking forward to better take and of improvised one!

You mentioned floating bridge screws,
you mean screws on the back or screws on lock? Screws on the back should help you to make a balance with strings so the bridge is in "neutral" position, held in one place by strings and springs. So your tuning problem might have something to do with springs or strings (3 months old). But here's the catch, you actually have to re-tune every guitar all the time, it cannot stay in perfect tune, certainly not for few days. How much does it go down in tune? -------------------- Youtube

Oh I mean on the lock.. (neck).
usually its like little bit half of semitone I guess on all strings but 1 semitone in the 6th string. |

It happens to me as well, even without floating bridge.
I can't say if it's always semi tone in few days cause I retune it all the time, I play very frequently! Maybe it's the temperate in your room, if it's kind a hot then string will loose tension and go flat, just an option, doesn't have to be the case cause it's natural to stretch the string when playing and make it going low in tune.

Thanks Guys for sharing your experiences. This thing is really really hard to tune. Think next guitar I will get will just be a fixed bridge.
