Hope this isn't against the forum rules. The same topic on Uploads (members only) section could be deleted. Here are two of my takes at Tronds Picking Exercise. Both aren't perfect, but I thought that it would be better to show the average version, rather than spend whole night, and upload the best out of one hundred takes:D One is with the backing track, and second one is without it. Comments and criticism more than welcome, I need a better pair of ears than mine, to hear what should be better;) EDIT: if it really is so bad, don't worry and tell me;) EDIT2: I just noticed that I wrote "is it that worse" - well I never denied that I can't use proper language..

I know that muting is the biggest challenge for me, but I don't know how to practice it... When I try to mute everything I am "blowing myself back to stone age" - I just can't play anything.. Maybe it is a mental blockade I don't know:/ You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I am glad you are not trying to go too fast on this one - I have no idea how Trond gets up to the speed he does and make it seem so easy. If you want to increase your speed on this one take it easy and slow - this one can kill your arm if you don't do this one in a relaxed fashion (I am pretty sure this lesson hurt my arm when I tried going 110bpm when I really only feel relaxed at 80-90). I made a vow after hurting my arm that I would be more concerned about the music or exercise than speed - I am now perfectly content at playing most picking intense lessons like this one at 75% - no doubt more speed will come with time as you learn to relax (and breathe). This lesson is really good for increasing the reach for your fretting hand - if you ever had problems picking notes 5 frets apart, you will no longer have that problem. On a side note - my wife banned me from playing this exercise while she is in the house - I once played this for over an hour (without realizing I was banging my foot very heavily) until she finally put her own foot down. I've tried sneaking it in very quietly at times but somehow she knows right away. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I had to re-learn the speed burst parts, as I learned it without economy picking, and when I realized that, I started from the beginning. Thanks for the help Supersize and TheOldOnes!

Sugerowalbym znacznie mniej gainu(najlepiej cwiczyc bez przesteru), brzmienie bedzie o wiele bardziej selektywne. Poza tym wyrazne slychac puls i o to chodzi! Pozdrawiam :-) Well done!

I agree that practicing without gain is important, but If I would upload my playing without any effect/gain, You wont hear that I should mute the strings more;) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
