Losfer Words video is great man, just you hook up your thumb over the fretboard unnecessarily, try to anchor your thumb behind the fretboard, this improves your finger reach greately. Hooking your thumb has its advantages too, when playing lots of bends and vibrato, this posture gives you power but here we dont need it, it becomes more of a disadventage than an adventage.
On that song our real target is to play all the leads and rhythm tracks, but I suggest you to play solo parts too especially parts that you can play when you are working slower. I seriously think that you can play half of the solo because its not very fast. About videos, I dont know how long it takes you to shoot a clip, if its less than few minutes, I want you to take a compilation movie in daily basis in the end of every training hour to show your progress in every fronts. That way, if you make a mistake while training and I see it in the video, all you would loose is only 10 mins of training. Overall you are doing great man, you apply immediately my suggestions and that is perfect. A little addendum, you told me you were ok in music theory, for the next time I suggest you to make a list of your strong and weak points, so that I can try to help you on that subject too. You can find a list of topics on Andrew's Theory Lesson board. As these are theoretical subjects, you can check them out in your freetime at work, or anywhere you have time. Keep up the great work Man!  Cheers! --------------------  incoming spoiler read it at your own risk! Spoiler: it, surely, spoiled me!!! and may the force be with you :) |

I follow.
For the exercise - https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...independence-I/ - I'm confused. The video looks like he is picking 2 strings at once. 1 with the pick and 1 with a finger. But the tab doesnt show that.... -------------------- My Gear

Yeah it seems that way, but he actually is picking only one string, the string of the finger he just moved, or the string he moved the finger from. something like this: E|--|--|--|--| B|--|--|--|--| G|--|--|--|--| D|--|--|--|--| A|--|--|--|--| E|1-|2-|3-|4-| - when he does this: - E|--|--|--|--| B|--|--|--|--| G|--|--|--|--| D|--|--|--|--| A|1-|--|--|--| E|--|2-|3-|4-| - he is picking the A string for example, - E|--|--|--|--| B|--|--|--|--| G|--|--|--|--| D|--|--|--|--| A|--|--|--|--| E|1-|2-|3-|4-| - and when he does this: - E|--|--|--|--| B|--|--|--|--| G|--|--|--|--| D|--|--|--|--| A|--|--|--|4-| E|1-|2-|3-|--| - he is picking the E string... - Similar to these above, E|1-|2-|3-|4-| B|--|--|--|--| G|--|--|--|--| D|--|--|--|--| A|--|--|--|--| E|--|--|--|--| - when he does this: - E|--|2-|3-|4-| B|1-|--|--|--| G|--|--|--|--| D|--|--|--|--| A|--|--|--|--| E|--|--|--|--| - he is picking the B string for example, - E|1-|2-|3-|4-| B|--|--|--|--| G|--|--|--|--| D|--|--|--|--| A|--|--|--|--| E|--|--|--|--| - when he does this: - E|1-|2-|3-|--| B|--|--|--|4-| G|--|--|--|--| D|--|--|--|--| A|--|--|--|--| E|--|--|--|--| - - he is picking the high E string... - Ok? -------------------- incoming spoiler read it at your own risk!

Yeah, I'll ignore what I'm seeing on the video and go off the tab. I know what were doing here. Its all good.
So here is what I'll be doing tonight and tomorrow. I'll be uploading a new video Tuesday night. Late. 15min Finger Independence. 10min String Skipping 10min Strumming Only - No arpeggios yet. Target 50 bpm 10min Losfer Words (I'll try to get up thru 1:45 done. The solo if I can. Rhythm at least if not ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rze8K3dUWyU 10min Sanitarium (Goal, to get the next part of the solo down. From :46 thru 1:06 ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WElvEZj0Ltw -------------------- My Gear

Alright then... After spending most of the night trying to make my camera work right I accomplished almost nothing....
Here is a quick video of just strumming the chords from the strumming/arpeggio lesson. I did it at 60bpm. Then I did most of the finger independence I exercise at 80. I quit where I dont have the shape down... Its obvious. I did another take of Losfer Words but the camer afps/lag issue is killing it. I think I figured out how to solve it. But I cant get Sonar to export it as anything that I can see. I get a black screen and good audio... This is what I didnt want... Time spent monkeying with this crap. I've burned 2+ hours on the technology not working in a way that makes sense to me..... Anyway.... Time for bed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVt5zJHD_2M -------------------- My Gear

Time for bed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVt5zJHD_2M Man I am sorry to hear that, burn that damn cam man! Strumming Chords video was good overall, you had problems with some shapes, and had some timing issues, that may be because you spend so much time with you cam that you couldnt concentrate on you exercise. Because some parts of you previous strumming arpeggio was better. On the other hand, I see you are getting better in finger independence exercises, and I understood your problem there, the problem is not you or your playing, the problem is the exercise you are trying to do. You should try to work on these exercises: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...independence-I/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ndependence-II/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...dependence-III/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ndependence-IV/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...independence-V/ these are the exercises I was talking about about that cam, Man seriously I dont know what we will do about it, we have a dilemma here, if you dont record videos of your playing, you wont waste time and work better but I wont be able to see your playing and warn you about your mistakes... And if you try to record it, it takes a lot of time, I am not sure how to do this.... Can you record your audio with your pc? If we have a sync problem, then maybe you could record audio with your pc and video with your cam, so in windows movie maker you could select you line for audio input, and your 9800 for video input... And after the work is done, if there is still a problem of sync, you can move your audio track a few ms forward or back to put it in the right place... cheers Can -------------------- incoming spoiler read it at your own risk!

Here is the test video from this morning. THis is just a test of sync and quality, is it good enough for what we are doing. I can zoom in if that helps. Position my camera better, etc....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cihzvn4nYTc QUOTE ----8---7---6---5------------------------------------- -----------------------8--7---6---5------------------- ---------------------------------------8---7---6---5-- -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- etc. that means you keep your fingers in the appopriate places, you move your pinky to upper 8th fret on the B string but you keep pick the 7th fret on high E then, you move your ring next to the pinky and keep playing in 6th fret on E than you move your middle finger to B string on the fret 6, play the 5th fret on E then you move your index finger up next to others on B string, you play the 8th fret on B then you take your pinky up to the 8th fret on G, still play the 7th fret on B than you take your ring next to it etc... This is how it should be played... I'm getting confused.... What you are writing doesnt match the tab above it. Do you mean this? ----8---7---6---5--------7---6---5-----------6---5--------------5------------------------ -----------------------8--------------8---7-----------8---7---6--------8---7---6---5----- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keeping all 4 fingers down at all times?
