Hi,
Lesson 7 below, a couple of speeds. Real work out for the pinky, especially the transitions up was challenging Cheers, Claudio |

Hello Sarge,
Happy new year! Back at it, a couple of examples same speed 150 , 8/8. Can do a little faster but not much and it gets a little messy. A tricky one for me Cheers |

Great to see the changes are working!!! Super congrats!! Progress!!!!! I can see things are starting to come together here. It looks like your pick slant is improved but is still addressing the string a bit flat. In the vid I referenced, he calls it "pick edging" which is what I typically call "pick slanting". It' s just a slightly different use of vocabulary. Take a look again at what he calls pick edging. Starting at 2:24. Notice the angle he is holding his pick at, and notice how only the very tip of the pick is sticking out from his grip. Only the pointy tip should address the string. Getting this right will open up a new world in your playing. Here is a screen shot and the link. Take a look at this and try this lesson one more time using more of an angle per the image and choke up to the very tip of the pick. Spend a little time with this and see how it feels!
Close up of a good pick angle to try this is a screen grab from your take. Notice it's not quite as far forward an angle? https://youtu.be/jBLka76n9q0 Hi Sarge,
was easier than I thought to switch position, thanks againg for the good tips. Control has increased a lot and it is only the second day I hold the guitar this way (and focus on pick angle). please see below a couple of speeds, i fell I'll be able to bump up speed a bit more with this adjustments going forwad. thanks again This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jan 30 2021, 03:14 AM |

This is a tricky one to be sure! You've got the idea down!! That's the drill. taking it and just marching it up the neck. it sounds like you are still searching for a good lead patch on your katana? Did any of the stock lead patches work? Is the volume on your guitar all the way up btw? Nice axe btw!!!! One thing I did notice is that it sounds like your palm mute might be lifting a bit on the G string as I hear a bit of extra ringing sometimes. Give this one a pretty stiff palm mute to make sure that each note doesn't ring after it's struck. Doing well on this so far!!
here is a link to a bunch of free patches to try https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M8kjg98kX-...pl8RdH7i5X/view Sarge Hi Todd,
Hope all well, quick update from me. This one was a tricky one, you did warn me! Now I’m at the point where I can play it but still needs work. I naturally find myself wanting to speed up parts... now starting to manage that and play with the click. Anyways I thought I’ll show you a video to get some feedback just to check if I’m on the right track? Cheers, This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Mar 5 2021, 06:13 AM |

Hi,
Yes was using the stock high gain patch, but probably volume in this was was low, so it might not come up fully. Yeah the palm muting! will focus on that a bit more, different axe than usual (pretty bight eh...lol) probably need to play it a bit more to get use to the bridge.
