It has got to be sweeping. (I think there is a way to actually make a poll on here, right? That feature didn't disappear?)

Hardest technique - looking from the bass perspective, I would go for : tapping It requires a lot of strength, independence and legato. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Playing in time, tightly and I'll add together with other musicians.
Whatever 'technique' you're using you have to make it feel good and sound like music. This is elusive to many musicians - on any instrument. This actually relates a little to that youtube thread in 'chill out'. You can see a thousand 12 year olds shredding all day long but it's very rare to see one doing it with a live band convincingly.

For me it's sweep, legato and of course playing tightly. But I work on the two last things

I think I've put the most time and effort into alternate picking. Making a pattern sound flowing and articulate was my biggest challenge to overcome. -------------------- |

Multi-finger tapping has always finger-tied me. Tough to get it down with good tone and solid time. Tricky!

I voted for unwanted string noise, but it was really a tie with playing in time.

Yes - actual voting poll can be added by editing the opening post. Hardest technique - looking from the bass perspective, I would go for : tapping It requires a lot of strength, independence and legato. Yes, tapping on bass can be tricky! You have to hit that string really precisely, and connect the note with the other notes very fluidly. It has got to be sweeping. (I think there is a way to actually make a poll on here, right? That feature didn't disappear?) I'm going to post one of my easier sweep exercises soon, with the backing track and TAB as well. For me it's sweep, legato and of course playing tightly. But I work on the two last things Sweep-time soon, I'm planning some cool exercises! Cheers to Russia! Where's the all of the above option? The "all of the above" is not an option for any of us:) Of course we all have to improve our playing constantly, but after you've showed me your recording a few days ago, I'm sure you're on a good path already. I think I've put the most time and effort into alternate picking. Making a pattern sound flowing and articulate was my biggest challenge to overcome. With alternate picking, was it a linear improvement by you, or did you experience a more sudden, breakthrough-like improvement? Did you experiment with the angle of the pick? For some of my students, we're able to achieve major leaps with modifying how he/she holds the pick. seeing how alt. picking is still my worst nightmare , that gets my vote Yes, alternate picking is really hard to master, I agree. What do you think is holding you back? Is it mostly the picking hand, or the fretting hand, or synchronization of the both? Multi-finger tapping has always finger-tied me. Tough to get it down with good tone and solid time. Tricky! With 8-finger tapping, one of my problems is how strange the angle of my wrist is... and when it doesn't look good, then most of the time, it won't sound superior. (Exception: Marty Friedman ) The hardest is definately sweep and tapping! I work almost on AP lessons and scales.. Good topic Thanks! For tapping, I recommend you one of my new tapped arpeggio exercises. I uploaded 3 different backing tracks (3 different tempo: easy, easier and easiest:) ) for it, and you'll find the TAB as well in the topic. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=47809 Sweep is coming soon, too! I can't tell ..cause i master all of these techniques I voted for unwanted string noise, but it was really a tie with playing in time. These often go hand in and, and in a lot of the cases, a bit of slowing down helps a lot. That way you can focus your attention on the precise movements, as well as string dampening/muting with the outer side of the right hand.

I'll have to say Jonas, your instrumental "Tight Squeeze" is very eloquently done sir... very nice! I really liked Platinum as well... That's as far as I have gotten, but I felt the need to comment/compliment as these are very well done. I'd recommend everyone have a listen to those.... not that my recommendations mean much, but hey I've listened to music for some 40 years now.... I'm an expert.
Oh, and if you ask Slavenko..... I've played guitar for 40 years.... if a fetus could play guitar, my new son would have had a guitar 8.5 months ago... Yes, tapping on bass can be tricky! You have to hit that string really precisely, and connect the note with the other notes very fluidly.

Unwanted string noise, as it effects every other technique listed
