QUOTE (lcsdds @ Apr 7 2009, 10:55 AM)  Thanks Muris, I'll get crackin on this one and see if I can't re-record it. Here is the backing and again...sorry for the crappy midi file.  Thanks Monte. However I'll wait for your new take, listen closely to what's going on in there and then I'll do my take, is that ok?

Of course Monte, post what you've got, it doesn't have to be whole lesson atm,
do it with drum beat or backing , as you please!! And as for using AP in your playing, you'll notice one thing in a while that happens with everything we practice actually, legato, tapping, picking etc, once you really get comfortable with it you'll start throwing it in without any thinking, normal thing.

Hey Monte!!
What can I say, best way is to split lesson or a solo into small pieces and work on them independently, then take some single licks and use them as individual exercises, sometimes even for warm-up, good job! You don't have to rush on AP etude tho, there is plenty more stuff that you can record and most in a meanwhile, AP is something that would never be 100% in shape so we all have to work on it endlessly. Glad to hear about Logic, now I can expect your second tune as we agreed?

I can see one clip atm Monte and what can I say,
it works GREAT!! Your picking hand looks smooth and relaxed, fingers and nicely curved and there is no wrist rolling, good job. A note, to test it even better you can try to play regular up and down without repetition, 3nps only, not 6. Try it (maybe even record) and let me know how it goes. QUOTE (lcsdds @ May 2 2009, 07:38 PM) Tomorrow I am gonna upload the AP etude. I might just upload it in chunks rather than me trying to play it from start to finish. To be honest with you I see myself practicing this for a year or so. Even though I can't play it any where near full tempo.....although I will someday  .....I have found this etude invaluable for my AP development. thanks for recommending it.Let me throw some light on you, I tried the same lesson few days ago and I had real problems first I started, I took me several minutes to play it without too much troubles and fully clean. My point is, practicing goes on and on, we are never done.

QUOTE (lcsdds @ May 2 2009, 09:18 PM) Can't fool you can I. Hmm, I had no idea that you wanted to fool me. QUOTE (lcsdds @ May 2 2009, 09:18 PM) I actually was thinking this morning that I really need to just play it with 3nps as well. I'll add this into my routine tomorrow as well. I am gonna upload the AP etude tomorrow but I decided I'm gonna break it up into the 8 or so chunks like I told you earlier. That way you can comment on a specific section if you feel it is appropriate. Thanks Muris and I'll upload again tomorrow. Agree, you can upload it in segments, no problem at all Monte.

Ohh, you're not using your pinky AT ALL at the end,
those 3nps runs higher on the neck, I feel fooled once again.   Joking of course, that part isn't crucial here so you can use any fingering you want, no problems. And I really like the way you broken the lesson into smaller parts, one lick or arpeggio pattern as a single exercise , I really like that Monte! Now here's a deal, try to find a tempo that will allow you to play whole lesson without too much troubles, play it few times and even record a clip for me. Doing that is really good since you really have to bother yourself with all parts that you can play a lot faster but still you have to follow tempo determined by few trickier licks, like those 1nps arpeggios you mentioned. And at the end you become sooo frustrated with those few licks that cause you troubles and keep you on slower tempo and then you go nuts, you play them alone like thousand times and you nail them nicely, I've tortured myself that way many times.  -------------------- Youtube
