Hi MisterM! We are always fixing defects and improving. Playing guitar is infinite! The key is to enjoy playing guitar, to enjoy the journey, there is not a real goal to achieve. I've seen you improving a lot as a guitarist. You've improved your timing, groove, dynamics, expressing techniques, legato.... now it's time to work on alternate picking. Cool!
On the other hand, there are great guitarists like Tom Quayle or Nick Johnston who say that they are not good at picking, and that's why they created their own style based on other techniques like legato and hybrid picking. The same happens with Steve Vai. He had a problem in his right hand and he should focus more on legato and other techniques. Finally, Petrucci is a picking monster, but I've heard him talking with Tom Quayle about "legato" as one of his weakness. We all have limitations. If you want, we can work on your AP here too. Share what's happening with your technique, and if possible a video showing the problem so I can give you my point of view and suggestions. -------------------- My lessons

Yeah mate!! It's a very cool take! I've just commented a bit there but you already know the things that you need to practice. It passed, I gave you a 7, just to let room to improve the faster licks, give more feeling/groove, and make your vibrato more natural.
Congrats!!! -------------------- My lessons

Hi MisterM!
It's cool to see this videos with speed increased because you can hear if the work is correct or not. I can notice in the first video that you need to cross strings smoother when playing the first legato part. Can you hear how the patterns sound like divided when fasten it up? Focus on the connection between strings. Your hand position and overall technique looks very good. You can increase a bit the practice tempo. Regarding the second video, this is trickier for me because I use a different technique which doesn't involve fingers movement. I think that the best would be to call Kris to check this one. I'm writing him right now to check this video. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Thanks for the update!
Great to know that you are working on your alternate picking technique. It takes time but you'll see big improvements. Keep the hard work! My progressive phrasing lesson has a very tricky legato and sweep lick. Don't work on it if you find it discouraging. That other lesson is very cool, I love it. -------------------- My lessons

Hi MisterM! Great idea to share this early take so we can have reference and monitor the progress. You already noted the things that need attention and work here. Continue practicing with those elements in mind and share a new take at least in one week. Ok?
