My main goal was to shred a bit and try to use legato and some fast licks i know. All is improvised. What do you think? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

This was just noodling around and try to use the legato licks i learned in context and try to use them on a backing track. I will make another improv soon and totally focus on motific development then and will send you Thanks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You continue to make good progress. Your only weak spot that I can see is your picking. I know you mentioned being too busy for bootcamp, but I would say maybe try the quick licks program as it focuses on the very thing your playing seems to need most which is accurate picking. If you don't have time for that I'll still be happy to share my thoughts on your playing. I'm here to help Here is a good example of what I'm on about.

I got a new pick of 3mm which js pointy i will use next time 😎 I notice that i use 2 different positions and grips with my picking hand. I will experiment with it whix feels better and why use it for what sort of lick. Thanks for your feedback You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's the beveling that helps with string traverse. The sharp point helps remind the hand that only the very tip need hit the string. Reducing hand wag when picking fast just takes some repetition. You are making progress! Keep it up!! Sarge QUOTE (tflava @ Sep 24 2021, 02:09 AM) Thanks Sarge. Ill keep continuing working on my speed Yes this pick was a little less sharp.

I'm not quite sure what the original thing is that you are trying to play, which makes it tough to really judge if you are doing it correctly, but I enjoyed your playing here!

The biggest thing is your right hand position and technique. It's great! You are keeping your mute while you are picking which is something I'm always on about as you know. Your timing is solid as well and your hand synch is quite good. I'd say maybe try to see if you can generate variation in tone by muting harder or softer. It's a good way to add dynamics to any picking bit Happy Holidays! Todd QUOTE (tflava @ Dec 27 2021, 05:35 PM) Hey Todd, How are you?

I will try to focus on some different levels of muting and see how that will work out Have a nice end of the year You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
