What a dunce. I never connected the dots before. Now that I have, I just think of allll the tracks I've uploaded / sent to people and I cringe with annoyance ! Oh well, at least I noticed it.. better late than never hey ? What things have you done wrong for a long time before you noticed it ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think Todd called it "classical" at some point...there seems to be a classical position for everything, right Back to the topic before this gets outta hand...anyway, the pick would hit the strings with the flat side, which isn't too bad when you play chords. But it gave me trouble when I wanted to do AP a bit faster. So I switched to the "shredder grip" 1,5 years ago and use it all the time now. Just lately I discovered that players like Matthias Jabs use their pick in a somewhat flat position and can still play really fast... Okay, not really a stupid mistake, but something I did for years that held me back in my progress. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I know the pick postitions you mean exactly.. and yes, Mattias does appear to hold his pick like that QUOTE (TesttubeMammoth @ Jan 6 2012, 12:50 PM) What is the shredder grip? It sounds impressive! If we told you it would put your life in danger... Nah, I think he just means holding it between the side of your finger and your thumb.. the 'correct' and 'normal' way You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

In my early days I used Cakewalk for mixing and I remember adding louders and quieters to the wavs. Then I discovered that I used to cut the peaks with the louders and then lowering the files with the quieters but without peaks. I was destroying the audio files during my early mixes! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
