I recorded my self to actually HEAR myself from a different point of view. I'd like your guys opinions, tips, and advice on how to improve.

Try downplaying the effects your using and put up that so we can hear exactly whats going on. Daniel You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think that's the best way to hear the imperfections of that technique. I hope you find it useful. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I will add, listen to this famous video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC60XNiS-MQ Notice how you can hear him articulate his notes, and his note groups (4-note, 6-note) all stand out, accented. And no backing, or effects of any significant amount (if any). He is not sweeping, but the principle still applies. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

BTW, have added 4 or 5 of your lessons to my list recently. To learn a couple scales on a few. But also, you have a really neat rhythm to your play, I feel you learn a great deal when you pick up someone's interesting rhythm, it is not just the notes. In fact, maybe the rhythm matters even more. And great rhythms are subtle, won't learn that from paper, you have to listen to someone who has it.
