Hey Muris! I just watched a few videos of yours on youtube, and you have inspired me to re-practice my shredding again! I have a few questions about practicing, and a few about gear, etc.
I feel the picks I'm using now (Dunlop Tortex SHARP picks) are a little bit tough to work with on high strings when picking. When I pick on lower strings they seem fine, when I pick on the higher strings it just sounds and feels "off". I am picking the lower strings with about the same "force" I am hitting the higher strings. The motion of my picking is sometimes from my fingers, but mainly from my wrist.
What kind of picks do you currently use? Are they round, or sharp?
When it comes to practicing I feel that I sometimes learn a solo and I can play each lick separately, but when I play it all at once I usually start missing notes and play sloppy. I'm pretty sure the answer is practicing slow, but I was wondering if there was anything else I should do to help solve that problem.
When you improv it seems very flawless. I know that you know your licks and scales, but how can you think so quickly and guess what lick will sound best after the one you just played? How can you play it without messing up?
Thanks Muris! I hope to tackle your "Fusion Lessons" soon
