I've always known the importance of practicing improvisation and learning cover songs. It wasn't until last year that i actually started putting that knowledge to use. Now I just hit myself over the head every day for not putting that knowledge to use 5 years ago.
I also know that hitting myself over the head can cause brain damage. Hopefully I'll heed that knowledge before $aks ie jt kt l;kaenk3l kwlk -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

This week I've learnt more about picking technique and speed.
My assignment from Gabriel is the Skate Punk lesson and I found when learning it that for me it felt more natural to do parts of it as downstrokes rather than strict Alt picking as he does. Until I tried getting up to speed, at around 180-190 bpm the downstroke picking I was doing was unmanageable. Now earlier in my life, I would have put the guitar down and just say 'I can't play fast enough to do that' now I know it is down to the technique I chose to try and play it with. So I haven't put the guitar down and given up, I'm relearning the sections and replacing the downstrokes with Alt Picking. -------------------- My SoundCloud
