OKay.. I tried a lot of times but still doesn't sound so clean.. Should I try a clean tone take?

It was quite descent, good work!!
A clean take (or one with less distortion) would be great tho.

Even better,
I noticed only one missed note (over F7 chord), you passed this as far as I'm concerned, I'll give you next assignment asap. How is Fusion Jam going btw? Don't forget, we need it for REC.

Yep.. thats what happens at fast speed..
 Is it on time? Its pretty hard to do that on timing as the notes on the beat are not 'root' note or something that can be easily played. you know..I haven't practiced fusion jam honestly.. I have been doing this for the whole week and I am glad I reached 120bpm. will practice for sure. Thanks Muris. I hope you are having a good weekend. Cheers!!  Btw, I just did a impro in CLydian Collab by David. This one is the fastest one I came up with.. an hour or so.. Otherwise, it takes me like a full day. I am not sure if its appropriate here but I wanted to share and get your feedback. I would love to get some fast riffs and as you can see I get stuck at the same melody or timing thing.. Would love to get some other variations in the same song. ya know.. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&id=18696 |

Timing was pretty fine imo, yeah.
I'll give you something easier for last week so that you could focus more on REC assignment, Fusion Jam. I'm gonna listen your colab take tho. Ok, I just listened and here's what I would think of in future, timing phrasing. If you analyze your take timing wise you'll notice that each phrase start on the beginning of each bar, first beat. Cool idea is not to start from there every time, you can start from 2nd 4th or 8th OR you can start your phrase with pre-beat by starting on, example, 4th beat in previous bar.

QUOTE (maharzan @ Oct 25 2009, 07:55 PM) I noticed today that the back of my arm (triceps but near the shoulder joint) muscle is aching. Looks like its due to fast pick movement in recent days. I am learning to pick faster.I love that kind of aching, reminds me of hard work!!! Sorry for delay about MTP assignment, I just came from London, give me few hours.

It would be quite hard to tell what the best method is,
people hold pick in many ways after all. But I guess it might have something to do with pick gauge as well, you need to find out what gauge works the best for you. In my case, I like heavier gauges, 1.5- 2mm most of the time, that gives me the option to hold it very gentle while still having enough attack. As for angle, I probably keep zero angle as much as possible but this is also a matter of personal preference imo, there is no "right" way. More research is what you need I guess. -------------------- Youtube

QUOTE (maharzan @ Oct 27 2009, 12:43 PM) Okay.. I have been playing around. It has improved from where I was before joining GMC but still need to experiment to find the best way. I use Jazz III picks.. so must be around 2mm.. I used to use very thin 0.85mm 1mm picks but this feels much more comfortable. You need more time to find a perfect match, it's a long walk! Btw, here's our last weekly assignment for October, a Legato exercise but focus is actually on timing, you have kind a 7 notes groups with straight 16ths which means that accent (1st note in a group) change its place all the time. I made it in 2 versions tho, ascending and descending, descending one is pretty much like mirrored ascending. Tempo is 130 but it aint the must, just watch for timing and do your best.

I was referring to pick gauge but even THAT is solved with more practice,
eventually you'll feel comfortable with different gauges as your skills get better.
