Nah not at the moment. I just bought my computer recently and I can't figure out how to get it to work with reaper/ASIO (I think it might just be incompatable) so maybe this year I'll try to get a really good one with firewire and a really good music program. I have been learning a solo by ear for the past month (thought I would be done in 3 weeks, but the journey continues!) I'll post it here once I have it all down Have you tried the asio4all driver? It works with every soundcard, no matter if you have an onboard one. If you can find the way to record your ideas in Reaper, it will be easier to arrange them and to work on different rhythms and experiment with structures. What solo have you learn? -------------------- My lessons

I downloaded ASIO4all and installed it, but when I open Reaper there is no sound. I searched a bunch of forums and a lot of people said the driver has problems with windows 7, which I'm running on. Learning Comfortably Numb. One of my favorite solos. I know the whole thing now and I'm just working on the speed. played 90% today David Gilmour could actually play a bit fast sometimes, he just barely ever did. Excellent! Do you think that you could upload a video playing the solo? I didn't know about the issue with asio4all combined with Win7 -------------------- My lessons

I'll put a video up once I can play at 100% speed. I played 96% today, so hopefully only a couple more days.

If you are learning an AP lick do you learn starting with downstorkes and starting with upstrokes at the same time? Like would you practice it starting with downstrokes, then practice it starting with ups? I have been trying this but then sometimes my picking hand will get confused mmm no, I start working with the direction that I think is more effective for that lick. Then If I find it useful I practice it starting with the inverse direction. -------------------- My lessons

Ah, thanks. This will cut down my practice time a lot. yes, you will notice that there are famous guitar players that play the same lick with different picking directions so there isn't one correct way to play a lick. -------------------- My lessons

Nice videos mate! The exercises sound good! You should continue playing them everyday to be able to play them faster but without losing the good tone of each note.
Let's add this two lessons to your diary routine to start working on your Alternate Picking technique: LESSON #3 – RIGHT HAND / ALTERNATE PICKING LESSON #4 - RIGHT HAND II / ALTERNATE PICKING & HANDS SYNCHRONIZATION and also please choose any solo lesson from our archive and let's work on it! Before learning it please post your ideas here. -------------------- My lessons
