Hi Bleez, yes, this makes sense for me!
Your routine sounds really effective and it will have an important impact in your guitar playing. If I understand well, I think that it takes 30 minutes to be able to play at top speed. I don't think that this is a problem since I'm sure that this 30 minutes will become less time with more days of practice. At the same time, I consider very important to practice picking at different tempos to have a good control of your technique. I know guitarists who can play extremely fast but can keep timing and picking consistent at intermediate tempos. So that's my opinion. It's not a waste of time, and at the same time this will be shorter soon with more practice. Does it make sense? -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (bleez @ Mar 15 2015, 05:32 PM) Totally Understand. Thanks for that Gab  Ive been doing these picking routines for a few months now, 45 mins in the morning and then 45 minutes in the evening with different patterns ( then I work on various lessons and stuff) ....... One day Im gonna be ready to nail your Sabbath lesson! That's awesome mate!! These are exactly the exercises that I've worked when I wanted to master my alternate picking technique, and now I think that it's one of my strong parts of my technique. Keep going!! Feel free to share a video playing the exercises here to let me check hand's movement and the sound you get. -------------------- My lessons

You are on the right track mate! This thread shows most of the exercises that I used to practice when I was a teenager: LINK. And you'll see that most of the AP picking exercises are similar to what Vinnie Moore shares on that clinic.

Hi Bleez! The routine looks great! I remember that I used to practice this routine standing up to then be trained for playing live and with my band. This depends on what you want, but take the suggestion if you are thinking on playing with a band soon.
I cannot see your right hands fingers clearly because of the angle, but please be sure that you are not starting the movement from your fingers. It should start from your wrist and a bit from your elbow. Other than that, you are on the right track, keep going! -------------------- My lessons

Do you think it might be okay for a REC take? I didnt quite get the tone as clean as the lesson, however I have been playing it for a long time and I think my tone got a little dirtier over the many many months playing it! Here is the original lesson thanks --------------------  You say 'minor pentatonic ' like it's a bad thing |

Hi Bleez. This is a very good take and I'm sure that it will pass on REC. I like that fact that you gave it your personal touch regarding interpretation and sound. I think that the tone is ok as well the ambience given by reverb (or delay). I personally like a bit more the original tone which is more old school blues (SRV, Eric Clapton), but it's just a matter of taste.
Your playing is really good, and I only think that your vibrato and bending could be even more consistent in some sections. Both are ok most of the times, but comparing with the original lesson I enjoy a bit more Ivan's wider vibrato so maybe you could give it a try and see how you feel with it. I strongly recommend you to share this one at REC to receive more feedback. It's an 8/9 for me.

Good idea mate. As I usually suggest, practicing a bit over the original lesson can be a good idea. If you feel that vibrato and bending are two same old issues, it won't be a bar idea to also include some little practice every day based on this exercises:
Some minutes every day can have an important impact in the future.

Hi Bleez, well, it's a very good device with great amp emulations for recording demos and nice effects for playing live. It's great to have everything on the same device so that's the main advantage of using pod. You have reasonable good effects on the same processor, and you can program the sets to get the combination that you pushing a single pedal.
The reason why I decided to go for real stomps is that I feel more comfortable to set the pedals than setting the pedalboard. I felt that the pedalboard had a lot of effects and possibility while I needed just a few. I preferred to have less but with more quality and personality. The quality of the effect is good but they don't have the personality that you get when you get real stomp boxes. For example, my pod had wah wah, but when I god Morley Bad Horsie 2, it blown away what I could get with my pod. Pod includes overdrive but nothing beats my Visual Sound Jekyll and hyde. So I decided to have less elements but with more quality. My next step is to get a controller that let's me program different combinations of the analog pedals. In other words, I cannot say what's better for you since it's a killer device, but I've just shared my experience with both possibilities. Let me know if you have more questions. PS: I've never used Pod amp simulators on a live situation. I've always used real amps. -------------------- My lessons
