Hey guys,

Here are the videos of me playing Unforgiven 3 & One's Solos of Metallica. I didn't play note by note. At some parts i improvised a bit I'm posting it here in case if you haven't seen them in uploads section. Hope you like it and waiting your comments

Hey Dogukan, nice choices.. I love Unforgiven III

You've got a good grasp of using those 2 note blues bends like Kirk does, that's a really cool trick to have. The U3 solo was the better one.. the One solo could do with some more work at a slower pace so you get the correct frets when moving all those fast shapes down the neck. Good work !

Thanks Ben, glad you liked

And you are right about one solo. That part was very tricky for me so i knew that i played that part wrong

I'll work on that more and will do a re-recording.

Nice playing and song choice!

Suggestion:

Are you using that fretboard thumb over the top for bending support or is that becoming a bad habit?
It might be slowing you down in the long run?

I suggest you angle the guitar neck slightly up and move the thumb to more center of the neck. I notice you do this further down the neck and when you started, but never at high fret notes. Try rotate the fretboard hand a bit around, it should give you more easy access and then work on the flicking up of those fingers, specially the pinkie, getting to far from the fretboard. Check your pinkie isn't tucking under! This might be a mission, as you have to correct it before it happens, but help you with all your fast playing if you stick with it.
