Hi Vulpine, it's great to see you working hard. Regarding that knot, it would be great if you can go to the doctor to check it. It-s very important to take care of our hands and muscles because we depend on them to play guitar... if you feel any kind of hurt, you must stop practicing. Do you do some warming up and stretches before starting a practice session?

I've learned some stretch n warm up exercises , but some days i tend to just get right on the guitar with out warming up, what im currently tryng to train myself to do is to warm up n stretch before I practice every day or whenever I pick up the guitar n thanks for the advice my right hand doesnt hurt or anything but I will have it checked out Ok, check out John Petrucci's Stretches... these are really helpful. -------------------- My lessons

Great mate! I just commented and graded your REC take. It is ok, but it has some timing issues. Do you notice the problem?
The best way to fix it, is practicing the lesson over the orignal one to be sure that you are playing it at the same tempo. -------------------- My lessons

yea ah ok. well... my trick is simple... I use the palm of my right hand to mute the lower strings, and sometimes my right hand little finger to mute the higher strings if it's necessary. However it's difficult to be precise with the palm the picking hand, so the trick is to mute the closer strings with my left hand index finger.... I mute the lower adjacent (closer) string with the tip of this finger and also the higher strings with the rest of the finger used as a bar... let me know if it's clear! -------------------- My lessons

thanks yes im aware of the finger of the left hand muting the adjacent lower string and the higher strings with the rest of the finger like a barr I i need to work on this a bit I think and also ur technique with your right hand I might need to try muting the higher strings with my little finger ok, please let me know how it evolves and feel free to post videos here to let me analyse your playing. -------------------- My lessons

I've actually been working on this song but cant really figure out where to go from where I left off, My song writing although I can generate Ideas I tend to lack how to to construct a song like what does one need to make there ideas become an actual song (n actually any tips on song writing would most likely help me go a long way) heres the demo of the song I've been working on Hi mate, this idea sound very nice. I love it! The secret here is to analyse song structures, starting with something simple. Maybe analysing some Satrini's rock songs.. define parts (intro, verse, chorus, verse 2, chorus 2, solo) and try to build your songs using that type of structures. This will clarify what is lacking in your compositions and how to order the parts. On the other hand, Buckethead uses to create song that seems to be a leit motiv followed by a long jam.. you could try to analyse his structure concepts but it will be more difficult to follow in your own songs because it seems to be free. Once you have the structures analysed, check out how the connect the chord progressions, and finally the rhythms. Song analysis and practice are the keys to improve your compositions. -------------------- My lessons
