Thanks greg. No one really cares about shredding (unless you are the best). The solo you came up with in that collab, oh man! Thats music and that matters.
 Good job!

Man, you guys really set the bar high
 Since I've been trying to improve my hand-stretch / reach to the low E, I decided take a different approach by doing this lesson standing up, and guitar strapped as low as it will go haha. I set the metronome at 90 BPM to help me hear the landing notes for each 16th. Ug. It's a good workout. oh, and something I noticed - my thumb wraps over the top due to how low the guitar is, but when I reach the D string, I have to move my thumb behind the neck - but because it's strapped so low, I can't easily assume the classical position where the thumb is center neck - instead,my thumb is actually parallel to the neck - how odd... but it works for me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq9A0FrmJOA QUOTE (maharzan @ Jun 18 2012, 08:18 PM)  Hi Ben and all fellow Ninjas, I would like to thank you all specially Ben and Opetholic and all who pushed the latest (last 2) tasks above the limit. That actually really helped my AP quite a bit. I was learning Mojo Oro lesson by Muris for the last month and the push from you guys really helped me do it. Sorry about the off topic entry but I really wanted to thank you guys. Here is my take: Thanks, Chandra Chandra - that's rad! Great take. While you're learning all these great lessons, all my time is spent learning cover songs with virtually no solos whatsoever :/ But I'm slowly moving into that terrain. You da man

QUOTE (maharzan @ Jun 19 2012, 12:56 AM) Thanks Sir! Your take is awesome. I need to do that too. Haven't stood up for playing. I read the part in your post about wrist problems. Just a forewarning - I've been standing alot for perfomances, so my wrist is somewhat accustomed to that angle, but when you first start, strap high and work your way lower over time - it can be a wrist killer. I have to stretch my fingers back every so often when playing this low! -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!
