awesome

Wow this is the kinda lesson's i like!!

Frikkin awesome lesson!!!!
When i first saw it i was like why are all instructors doing alternate picking. Yet, this lesson was just pure mind blowing!! Now this is an alternate pickin lesson i really could use.

Good job Muris

Now its a yellow lighted pick... Where do you get these?

Perfect! Absolutely brilliant, Muris!!

How can this be played by a human!?

just kidding, great one!

Oh, a great one Muris! Nice job!

Muris, doesnt get better then this, or does it ?

Bravo-John

Brilliant good job Muris!

Wow, that's beautifull. I love this chords progression. Also, well done for the video quality!

Very cool! Helps your brain get used to all those different kinds note values when picking. Definitely gonna have to start this one

Awsome, very helpfull

Great stuff! i love the melodys in it!

Hey Muris, that's some awesome technique going on there !

Once again great lesson Muris! Amazing!

- I soo have to learn this one...

love it

AWESOME, great job Muris.

Awesome, great melodies in this lesson. Great job!!

OMG!! This lesson is awesome Muris! great job!, and keep the great lessons coming!

a little hard for me lol but ill practice!

Wow...that's amazing

how do u get that sound???? what amp settings, great lesson

sickness!!!!!

nice one Muris!

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??

WOW! I'm blow away. This will keep me busy for a long time.

Just the stuff that I like to play =D
(Probably too fast for me though XP)

awsome man!! yust what i need right now:)

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??

Ok that answers my question somewhat. So pick everynote!!!

That acutally makes the song easier HAHA i cna play it now !! Not up to full speed though. That just kind of confused me some. Now i understand exactly what you mean by the s !!!

Has anyone seen the movie "Tenacious D - Th Pick of Destiny"? Haha, when I seen the pick glowing I thought of it instantly...

Great lesson Muris!

Muris,
I see that you use your pinky very much (which is really impressing). Any particular reason for that?

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 think the compostion is awosme but you have something even better, the layout of the lesson . so many time people forget to put all the time signales and templets

Cheers

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

Oh and PS

I do really really wish this one had a slower backing.

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.

Sorry for coming back in over and over about this lesson, but I want to play like this more than anything I have wanted in a long time. I get totally re-motivated each time a see the video. That is some freakin sweet playing.

great thanks, you do man. I will get busy tonight. I will post progress

Can almost do the 90 dude, lookout here I come

7/23/07

A very productive weekend…

Friday

Warming up with the 70 and making somewhat of an attempt at the 90

Sunday

Warming up with the 90 and doing pretty good at the 110

Some very sore fingers today, however. Even a blister on Mr pinky

Another weekend and still not 110 perfection just yet but we keep trucking on…

Thanks

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.

Hello Muris,

still only a 90

But it is even cleaner and better than I have ever played in any form so again I thank you for this lesson and I also request another alternate lesson real soon.

If you get bored, I BT at 100 would be sweet :-)
There is one heck of alot of diff from 90 to 110

Cool, not problem. I do use the metronome to try to build speed on this lesson but the backing is just more fun and makes playing it in front of friends far more impressive
Muris, I have to admit that I find your attitude to be just as pleasing and your lessons,
Thanks again

Amazing! Probably best lesson on GMC.

No. 3 is cracking me! I can't get the tempo right.
Shifting between 16th and triplets is tough

Another wonderful lesson, my left hand says "thanks Muris"

AWESOME !!!!! It's amazing the picking control that you have !!! Really Awesome

yes....finally....after so long trying to learn this thing i can finally play it through. really slowly lol. well now that i know the lesson i can finally practise it sped up.

Thanks Muris i've had a great time learning this!

Hi again Muris, well ... after playin for some 20 odd years I consider myself of a reasonable standard .. that is .. till I stumbled accross this lesson ... wow! I dont know if to throw my guitars in the bin or learn it lol!!!! the later of course!! this`ll be fun, thanks again for inspiring me to be a better player.

muris your the man!!!
this one realy push me to a higher level
beter get to work wow!!

this piece is fantastic, just managed a 110BPM lol! how do you do it at 150bpm lol!!, jeesh!

Hi Muris, Can record and send it to you if you like
I was using a slightly different fingering for step 6, I worked on using the same fingering for this part as it was really where i was falling down on the speed,and after a couple of nights was able to step up to 110BPM stepping back to 90BPM (amazing how slow it feels to 110)gotta keep hopping back n forth between all the different speeds to build up the speed if that makes any sense? 130bpm still eludes me at the mo lol!

amazing lesson! I'll definitely be working on it and be uploading something.

God this is so cool! I love it when you can feel the classical influence.

Muris... you're crazy man..! lol

where do you come up with stuff liike that... one day i'll be as crazy as you are now.. i hope..! :-)
Thanks for the GREAT lesson and the GREAT material..!

This is awsome man.

muris = god
do you ever make a mistake?

ufffff, napati ti mene vopra. ;-) Thank you for this one....i hope this will help for my coordination and speed. I give a beer for this one....Pozz from Denmark

Wow, well, this lesson will sure build my speed up, but I don't really imagine how much it'll take for me to get higher than 90BPM =0

I'm watching all your lessons, one word, Great!

d.

sounds a lot like vinnie moore.Love his harmonic melodies.muris you're my hero dude hope I can play like you when I'm between 40-50 years old:)

nice lesson!!!!

very creative Muris!!!!

thanks

Brilliant!

Muris you should stop making lessons here for GMC or I'll be eaten up with envy and get depressive ..No just kidding. On the contrary this kind of lessons motivate me so much to keep track on the long way of becoming a good guitarist !

is there any way you could provide backing tracks at 100 Bpm between 90 and 110 is my problem at 90 i dip the pick at the string and 110 i need to alt. smoothly but i cant that fast. having the notes to follow is extremly helpful

i finally found my problem, i just suck at alt picking . still gonna practice

I finally finished learning it! Now I have to perfect it. haha this is gonna take a while. Thanks for the awesome lesson Muris.

Too... Much... Brain... EXPLODE !

This is one great lesson for AP. Its not been forgotten Muris. I am practicing this and will come up with a REC very very soon.

OH.......MY...........GOODNESS!!

Muris: this is awesome lesson!!!
