This is about playing lessons on completely clean sound. I mean plug my guitar straight into my computer. Clean as it can be. On the pent sub lesson during the triplets I naturally have to play much softer or it sounds pitiful. Not to mention, the need for accuracy. But I am talking about the force for which the pick hits the string. When using cool effects it is ok to hit the stings with less or more force since the sound is not as effected. Now the question….. Would you say you do a or b? a) you too have to tame your playing while playing clean. Still accurate I am sure but still you have to tame the picking down a bit. Or b I hit the stings with about the same force, So I hit the distorted stings as lightly as I the clean strings. Since it can not go the other way That’s why my runs sound like a Harley at about 70 MPH Is the point, learn to play this light for everything?

That's great way to improve accuracy and timing,to feel every note you play. Light playing is great but AFTER you manage all issues with timing etc, then you just play it lightly on distortion...why?...to get more speed,simple as that.
