Alright, what are the difference in tabs on slides. Like say this. 5/6, and 5s6. Is there any difference?? And if so. Is it like on the 5/6 do you just pick the 5th fret, and then slide it?? And then on the second one. 5s6. Is it like pick 5th fret. Then pick it again and slide??

Ryan,those slides are showing when you need to move your finger and which one,cause there are two ways for fingering,you can slide with your pinky or index finger.Of course,you'll need to pick every note.

Well i konw that much, but what i was asking is there a difference between 4/7, and 4s7?
and if there is, what is it??

Muris Varajic |

Instructor

5s6 means that you pick 5 and just move finger to 6,without picking.In here you must pick every note.
I didn't use /type slides in tab cause it has wrong sound in guitar pro tab tho that's probably the right sliding for this what I'm doing in this lesson.

Ok, I just spent like 8 hours over the last few days memorizing this lesson…..
Now, I have it memorized and with any luck I will have it just as fast in less than 3 decades, LOL
Do have it pretty fast though
I could never have come close as I am to playing this, with any speed, without Pavel’s speed stuff. Not only are all these lessons helping with alternate speed picking but more so the practicing of memorizing is also a HUGH part of learning to play at these levels. As it is truly the first part to every lesson on GMC,
Thanks, One wicked of a lesson dude.

I'm glad you've been working on this lesson,it IS probably tricky to memorize. But just look at it as a lesson and as a music piece. And when you get it,slow it down and then build up tempo slowly. Let me know how is it going!!

Muris,
I find this lesson impossible to play with a metronome, so I just slow the tab down and play with it.
I can say I am only at 72bpm or I can say I am already at 72. (error free most of the time)
I used to try to be optimistic, but decided "what good would that do"
LOL j/k
Having lot of fun with this one as I see improvement each day

Yes,that's a pity for sure. It's impossible to slow backing a lot with audio stuff inside,like rhythm guitars in this one This lesson IS sort of advance level and I'll make some easier stuff in a future for sure. Tell how's it going in a meanwhile!!

4 hours tonight and still at 72 but I have been able to bring the metronome back in so now it is like regular practice just one heck of a lot harder. It's them there triplets that kill man. 72 sounds slow till they come in. 80 by this time next week in my goal
I am so excited at how much this lesson is helping. When I go back to the other lesson they are getting faster and cleaner. :-)
In the past I have asked Pavel and Kris both to touch on their opinions of accelerating while picking. The old switching to running from walking applied to the picking.
Like 25 identical 16th note measures that go from 80 to 150 and back
Now it is your turn?

Excellent, your help is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to it. Did move to a pretty clean 75 BMP tonight so I will keep trucking on.
It helps that this lesson is very fun to play as long as I see progress.
I had a plan tonight to try play as fast as possible most of the night, without and timing at all, and it did help as I came back in at a strong 75 when I added timing back in.

A very productive weekend…
Friday
Warming up with the 70 and making somewhat of an attempt at the 90

Warming up with the 90 and doing pretty good at the 110
Some very sore fingers today, however. Even a blister on Mr pinky

I'm glad that you've decided to add those slow backing tracks. It makes it easier to learn with them. I think it helps to learn it clean as well too, while still having a bunch of fun.. This is one of my favorite lessons on the site so far.. Thanks Muris.
