Im new to this site so im not exactly positive how things work yet, but here goes anyways.

I have been playing guitar for about 2 years now, but have never had a lesson or any kind of instruction. It has basically been me in front of a computer soaking up as much as i can, and for the most part I feel like I have done pretty well. Im sure there are some very important things I have missed on the way, but I guess at least im making progress.

my alternate picking is shabby, when i build any speed what so ever i sort of have this breakdown and i start hitting strings i shouldnt hit, my pic might get caught on a string, or i cant keep the picking in rythem ....... alllssoo, sometimes my left hand has a hard time staying n sync with my right. id say as soon as i get about maybe 110 or 120 bpm things start to just fall apart.

im not afraid of the work, but its what i need to practice that is the problem. so any advice whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

thanks so much!!

Nate

hey muris .. i have a quick couple questions that actually dont have to do with playing guitar ...

i was wondering if you use a keyboard as a midi controller? and if not what do you use, and how is the best way to run it to your computer??

also, im kinda in the market for a new guitar but im not sure what to get. money is kinda a problem so im trying to not spend any more than like $500 USD ... and there is kinda a large variety of guitars in that range.

Yeah, I use Midi keyboard as a midi controller, it's some M-Audio,
not sure of the model tho, 5 octaves I think.
But you can get some smaller one, it would also work, 2-3 octaves.

As for guitar, there are MANY options for that price range.
I'm currently on the vacation, out of country
so I suggest you to post the same question in main gear board in the forum
to get more suggestions and help. smile.gif
