hahaha it could be.. but I was thinking in something more "Argentinian"... what about a weekly "Asado"?

\I am not sure ben, but I think he just called you somethin---------------Asado

hahaha no! I'm talking about this...




you won't believe this... but Waler Saleme (my studio's narrator) is the guy that speaks in this video...

Woah! Dude! Thank you. I'll give these a try. Part of me keeps thinking that if I stick with it, the AP skills will come around someday. My current theory is "learn as many AP songs & exercises as you can" and each new one will bring some small increase in skill. I'm hoping cause maybe after 1000 songs and as many weeks, it really will come around. Who knows, but I'll bet some of you guys are thinking "what? ... 150bpm? ... hard? ...It never was for me." Well, you guys have talent, and I guess I gotta work for it. Oh well, we all have to overcome our limitations eh?



Hey guys! ...Lay off the dougnuts. Those things will rot your gut, clog your arteries, stunt your growth, and make you older than your years.

Hi James! I like your current theory! Learning songs will keep you playing AP licks everyday and that's the only secret... This is not about talent, it's just hard practice. Check out some Paul Gilbert or Vinnie Moore stuff, they have killer AP technique so they play lots of licks using the technique.

I don't mind what Gabriel calls me if that lovely food is the result of it

I did have to look it up in 'google translate' and apparantly it means 'roast'. A bit more spectacular than we call a roast over here as well...

I'm quiet problematic with my alternate picking specially on fast passages (both on single and multiple strings). I guess I need to work more synchronizing the picking with my fretting hand. Need to improve the timing.

This is very important because you can't play clean if don't have both hands synchronized. There is no secret about this, just hard practising and I think that it's more effective with metronome or over a drum loop. You have to start with a slow tempo that is comfortable for both hands and increase little by little the tempo. always checking that both hands are still synchronized.

definitely mine is Finger picking, but I feel I'm getting better at it

Great to hear! What exercises or songs have you been practising to improve your finger picking?
