QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Apr 3 2013, 03:55 PM)  Good question! I use both depending on the part of the fretboard and also depending on the frets that I'm going to play in the following string. There is not one rule for this, as you can notice, different shredders can use one or the other way successfully. From my point of view, using fingers 1, 2 & 3 should be more efficient since you have and extra finger and this fingers are usually more agile. However I have trained my fingers through the years and I can play in both ways effectively. So, the short answer would be, it's up to you and to what you find more comfortable. Then I think I will stick to fingers 1-2-3 for a couple of weeks. I can clearly play faster, with a more defined tone with that configuration. Drawback is the higher tension in the index. These days I'm listening a lot to Neil Schon. It's incred but 10 days ago, that guy was just one amongts the guitarists that I haven't been listening at. Today, with that piece, he's one of the most important ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpRV-GK1zb8 The part that begings at 2'45 is one of the most beautifull ever heard by me. |

Hi mate, that's a nice song. I like the phrasing of the player and feeling in general. At some point I can hear some Joe Satriani's influences in him but it also sounds very personal. That part that you marked, when the most driven guitar starts is very emotive. I didn't know him... what can you tell me about this player?

If you have 20', you won't regret the time spent watching this video, it's a long interview with that guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euYZBsYZ-Yk |

QUOTE (krakou @ Oct 1 2013, 05:12 AM) Hey, Finally I've found the way to my thread :-) Not perfect of course, slower than the original at this moment (problem with transitions), but it will be ok in a few weeks. I'm playing that stuff for weeks now ! It is a perfect exercice for playing arpeggios with the pick, something I've had never done, and it sounds really cool. Bye JL ps: your power lesson is killer ! Fantastic mate! Welcome back here! I think that you have to continue practising the lesson at that tempo until you can play it tight and then increase the tempo. Be patient and work hard.

QUOTE (krakou @ Oct 6 2013, 04:42 AM) Mainly the transition between the power chords and the palm muted arpeggio at 32 sec. In fact every transition between power chords, where you put energy, and palm muted parts, where you need to be very relaxed are quite complicated. Control is everything :-) This makes me think that this less, although tagged level 3 is far more complicated to master than a "simple" solo. Have a nice day ! yes, this is something that usually happens. Sometimes happens that guitarists dedicate more time to practice soloing and forget the importance and difficulty of rhythm. Even knowing that we use to play much more time, rhythm guitar that solos when we play in a band. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! I can't agree more with your comments about your REC. That's exactly what we meant with our comments. So keep on playing it and enjoying it, you will take it to the next level soon.
The new lesson posted is fantastic, you definitely should give it a try! I'll wait for new videos.

I've given that try to the Peter Green lesson, and gosh, this is not easy to play at all :-) I knew it, because not a lot of notes are used, almost all the time at the same place of the neck, but despite this, it tells a story. It is also quite difficult regarding timing, which is quite "floating" but in the end, it is what you want to ear.. So here is the first try. The first half is what is played by Stephane, the second is a little bit improvised, because I'm quite lost. I'm pretty sure that for those blues guys, speaking or playing guitar is quite the same, maybe it is even more natural for them to play guitar.. ps: I like you're punk rock lessons, funny to see you jump between helloween and black flag.. Do you know Fugazi ? I saw them, hmm, more than 15 years ago, one of my best live souvenir.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGJFWirQ3ks JL |

Hi mate, yeahh, that how my musical tastes moves all the time. I'm very open minded regarding music style. I think that it's because I listen to a lot of music every day and I could get bored just listening always the same. I've never listened too much to fugazzi but I will do it! Thanks for the link.
Regarding the lesson, I think that you are on the right track. As you said there are some licks that need some practice, there are timing issues in some sections but you are getting close. Another important thing to have in mind is concentrate on dynamics, check Stephane's playing and see how he manages dynamics on each lick. This adds a lot to the take. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Nice to have news from you! It's ok to check my Vchat routines since there are many interesting exercises there but we can create a custom routine here for you. I think that it can b more effective, and then you can use my Vchat routines as a complement to it. What do you think?
If you agree, please post here all the topics that you would like to cover during your diary routine. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Thanks for the info, now I can start designing your own routine. Based on the fact that you have one hour per day to practice I think that we will have to apply a new idea that I started testing the last week. It consists on working on all the techniques every day but giving some priority to one each day. The routine finally would look like this:
MONDAY: - Alternate Picking (30 minutes) - Sweep Picking (10 minutes) - Legato (10 minutes) - Theory (10 minutes) TUESDAY: - Alternate Picking (10 minutes) - Sweep Picking (30 minutes) - Legato (10 minutes) - Theory (10 minutes) WEDNESDAY: - Alternate Picking (10 minutes) - Sweep Picking (10 minutes) - Legato (30 minutes) - Theory (10 minutes) THURSDAY: - Alternate Picking (10 minutes) - Sweep Picking (10 minutes) - Legato (10 minutes) - Theory (30 minutes) FRIDAY: - Alternate Picking (15 minutes) - Sweep Picking (15 minutes) - Legato (15 minutes) - Theory (15 minutes) I let you decide what you prefer doing during Sunday and Saturday. What do you think? -------------------- My lessons
