I know it has helped me with the mixolydian lesson I'm working on quite a bit. Here is a link for you, check it out! http://www.reztronics.com/prod01.htm By the way, I still need you to play the chords and paint the fence You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm actually just working on it along with Muris in each vid along with the backing. May be why it takes me a while but once I have it that way, the only thing to do is overcome the "record button".. And still painting the fence too.... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I know the lesson but can't get through it. Maybe more time and practice is all I need. I love the lesson btw and think that once I master it, the technique will take me far with my playing. Thanks man for recommending this one! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Thanks man for recommending this one! I hope you don't mind me jumping onto your thread!! But I watched your video, and your sweeping is coming along nice, if I were to give you some advice, of course take it with a grain of salt, really concentrate on your right hand and making sure you're not picking each string individually when you do the sweep, but more like a raking motion, where the pick falls from string to string in one movement, if you get that down you're gonna nail this lesson!

I do feel that once mastered, floating the pick across the strings is one of things that will set me "sweep free" I think with time it will come as my practice time has been quite limited lately, bout an hour or so every other night.

I seemed to have got things working now. @Amol thanks for jumping in and helping with your comments. Steve he is right! Most of your problems seem to be caused by you right hand. I am going to upload you a video response soon. I can explain things better that way rather than typing a bunch of text. I'll PM you when it has been uploaded.

I will watch it several times and digest what you are saying. I picked my guitar up when you were explaining the closed hand picking and tbh, it didn't feel all that bad. I have often wondered how David Walliman picks the way he does and still sound amazing. Uploads will come soon! Thanks man. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Having my hand closed seems to be helping a bit. I recorded a quick take at a different angle so you could better see what is going on. I bummed a note or two and was anxious at the beginning but anyhow, have a look and see what you think. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Mar 13 2009, 02:39 AM	Learning Tone Seeker Posts: 1.525 Joined: 21-January 08 From: Cincinnati, Ohio	HELL YES!!! You got me all excited and then stopped playing. Pick a slower backing track (about 5 - 10bpm) and practice at that speed. Even though you did the sweep part really nice it still felt a little rushed. Playing slower will really help you get things in sync and smoother. Hurry up and do another take now! I want more you lesson tease. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm sure you are aware that a lot is going on atm with the REC program so been a bit busy with that. Also I have a new member of the family. A 12 week old Golden Retriever named Sammy.. Had a few sleepless nights this past week. All in all, I feel like I'm still where I was at on the lessons from the previous uploads. Going to try and get some quality practice time in this weekend to get a little further down the road. Hope all is well on your end man!
