One problem. Never had any lessons until after I got in the military... So I've got nothing but bad habits. 18:39:52 Pavel: it has more to do with the hours i spent with guitar than actual years 18:40:04 Staples: Yeah years just gives ya a little idea. 18:40:09 Pavel: i never had electric guitar teacher myself 18:40:16 Staples: Where'd ya learn? 18:40:30 Pavel: video instructionals, and jsut watching and lsitening to my influences 18:40:35 Staples: Ah 18:40:53 Pavel: i was playing classical guitar in music schooč - but my teacher hated electric and i never picked the pick up before i bought the electric 18:41:03 Staples: Ha 18:41:16 Pavel: in music school i played stuff like Kosei is teaching 18:41:22 Staples: I never had any instruction of any kind. Ended up playing all downstroke, no metronome. 18:41:28 Pavel: but i'm not a fan of classical guitar and i stopped playing it 18:41:34 Pavel: switched to electric and carried on on my own 18:41:34 Staples: I heard some of his stuff 18:41:48 Staples: Yeah I love my electric. 18:42:03 Pavel: somehow i ahd a feeling for this stuff from the beginning and i bnever layed only downstroke 18:42:10 Pavel: never played* 18:42:14 Staples: Ah 18:42:22 Pavel: i picekd up the guitar and AP was so natural to me... 18:42:29 Pavel: but now i'm working hard on building speed 18:42:32 Pavel: that's the biggest problem 18:42:47 Staples: Well from what I see, any of this takes time. 18:43:01 Pavel: yeah it does 18:43:05 Staples: I have a hard time with AP, when I stop focusing I end up getting into economy, but I do that well. 18:43:08 Pavel: you get to a certain level and than you are stuck at that level 18:43:15 Pavel: than you get anther level up and you're stuck again - i ahte it 18:43:20 Pavel: hate* 18:43:35 Staples: Yeah I bet everyone just about does, never fun to hit a wall. 18:43:41 Pavel: i suck at economy picking 18:43:48 Staples: So for the past month I've been unlearning downstrokes and learning the metronome. 18:44:01 Pavel: sweeping and AP are my best friends 18:44:09 Staples: I can't wait to get sweep down. 18:44:12 Pavel: that's a good thing to do m8 18:44:21 Pavel: once you pass by it you'll never have to get back to it 18:44:32 Staples: I'm focusing on AP just to get the basics down before I move to sweeping. 18:44:38 Pavel: yeah sweeps are beautiful but nasty to learn 18:44:50 Staples: I do like the metronome, everything I do sounds so much more fluid, but just slowed down so much. 18:44:50 Pavel: sweeping is a whole new level and i'm still learning it... 18:44:58 Pavel: every day i discover something new 18:45:31 Staples: My biggest problem, I started sweeps, it's muting. I have to really concentrate to get it down, so it's not too natural to me yet. 18:45:44 Staples: Yeah your lessons and Muris' are the big ones I'm going off of. 18:46:28 Pavel: muting is the worst part in all techniques 18:46:41 Pavel: it's almsot impossible to explain in words - you have to feel it 18:46:52 Staples: Yeah I know. I'll play something clean, sound great, pop on distortion and get smacked upside the head by noise. 18:47:06 Pavel: hehe that's why i ALWAYS practice with distortion 18:47:14 Pavel: i never practiced on clean sound 18:47:27 Staples: I try to but sometimes my roommate is sleeping or it's late at night so I just play w/o amp infront of my computer. 18:47:32 Pavel: controlling the noise is a big skil land you can't practice that on clean sound 18:47:39 Staples: Yeah I noticed 18:47:52 Pavel: i was playign at my friend's house and his dad is a guitarist his whole life 18:48:06 Pavel: and i crancked the distortion and gain up all the way and played some sweeping... 18:48:27 Pavel: his dad came in and asked: how the hell are you muting that? You ahve awesome control of distortion!" 18:48:46 Staples: Oh man, a good sweep.. There isn't much like it. 18:49:03 Pavel: it's all in your RIGHT hand 18:49:15 Pavel: you get that down and you're a king of the hill 18:49:19 Pavel: not many players have clean sweeps 18:49:21 Staples: AP, EP, tapping have their sounds and those are more the fundamentals, but sweeping just produces it's own sound that's so appealing. 18:49:35 Staples: Yeah I thought I had some sweeps down, put on the distortion when my roomie woke up, and puke. 18:49:43 Pavel: hahaha 18:49:48 Pavel: don't worry mate 18:49:55 Pavel: you can't even imagine my start with sweeping 18:50:01 Staples: Ha 18:50:05 Staples: Bad? 18:50:07 Pavel: i was like: "Ok, maybe i should seel the guitar?" 18:50:11 Pavel: sell* 18:50:19 Pavel: i saw TOTALLY no future in sweeping 18:50:31 Pavel: but i was amazed by MAB and his sweeping and i carried on 18:50:38 Pavel: today it's my favorite technique 18:50:49 Pavel: you can be EVERYWHERE you want to go on the neck in just seconds 18:50:54 Staples: It's a great sounding one that's for sure. 18:51:11 Pavel: chord changes are unlimited so it's unlimited fun 18:51:16 Staples: Yeah I can keep my hands in sync, but it's the muting that's making it nasty. 18:51:32 Staples: I'm still having troubles with the metronome. 18:52:05 Pavel: don't be afraid of moving the right hand up and down the bridge 18:52:15 Pavel: once you get the movement down you'll gain tons in your muting 18:52:33 Staples: I do that sometimes, most of the times I do do it, but my palm just isn't placed right to mute it. 18:52:47 Pavel: that's what you'll hve to find out on your own 18:53:00 Pavel: jsut a few months ago i found out the best way to mute for me 18:53:14 Pavel: i've been sweeping for 3 years and jsut recently discovered new things... 18:53:20 Staples: Like what? 18:53:23 Pavel: it sucks but you'll always have to elarn... 18:53:32 Pavel: like: how to mute properly 18:53:41 Staples: Ha 18:53:54 Pavel: the basic concept is alwas the same but to me and my hand - i found the right position and angle 18:54:07 Pavel: so that's what you ahve to find for yourself 18:54:16 Staples: I can find it but I always have to concentrate, doesn't come too naturally yet. 18:54:38 Staples: Then my left hand USUALLY can play fairly clean but sometimes I don't mute or I pull off to hard and it rings. 18:55:39 Staples: Frustrating but it's getting a little better. 18:56:12 Pavel: it will get better over time 18:56:34 Staples: My biggest focus ATM is AP and the metronome. That thing can drive you insane. 18:56:37 Pavel: you know 2 years ago i was: "hey i can sweep 6-tuplets at 70 - WOW" 18:56:43 Staples: ha 18:56:44 Staples: Nice 18:57:01 Pavel: today i can sweep 6-tuplets at 140 - and in a year it will be even faster - it's an ongoing process... 18:57:32 Staples: I think the fastest I got with a decent sound, but couldn't keep it consistent everytime was 120bpm 8ths. Nothing too spectacular. 18:57:49 Pavel: no worries - time solves many things - and practice of course 18:57:56 Staples: Yeah 18:58:53 Staples: I'll probably start that bending heaven solo today. 19:00:01 Pavel: cool! What time is it there? 19:00:06 Staples: 9am 19:00:14 Pavel: 01:00 here 19:00:24 Staples: Nice 19:00:41 Pavel: sleeping time in a 20 minutes 19:00:48 Staples: Understandable 19:00:54 Pavel: practiced a lot today - need to ahve some rest and continue tomorrow 19:01:04 Staples: How many hours you usually put in a day? 19:01:53 Pavel: it depends on what i practice 19:02:00 Pavel: before i used to practice up to 6 hours and even more 19:02:08 Pavel: right now even 3 hours of constant practicing are enough 19:02:17 Pavel: because now i practice stuff which is really killing you 19:02:33 Staples: 6 hours dang. 19:02:53 Pavel: my all-time record is 11-12 hours 19:02:55 Pavel: only did it once 19:03:04 Staples: I bet. 19:03:19 Pavel: there is realyl no point in it 19:03:31 Pavel: the best learning process is while you are not tired and can concentrate 19:03:36 Staples: I'd think so, after a while you'd just get exhausted and then that can become counterproductive. 19:03:38 Pavel: as soon as you're sick of what you're doing you can't learn 19:03:53 Pavel: hey Owen 19:04:10 Owen: hey guys 19:04:33 Staples: That's why I try to mix up lessons. 19:04:48 Staples: Even if they're all AP I learn a few. 19:05:00 Owen: Pavel, I have to say, I <3 you, I was at my mates today and I just about made him cry and my much improved ability in sweep picking 19:05:11 Owen: with my* 19:05:28 Staples: Nice 19:05:51 Owen: I really appreciate those first vids you made, because without them I'd have absolutely no clue at all 19:06:16 Owen: heh, sorry, have I killed this conversation 19:06:31 Staples: Ha don't worry about it man you didn't 19:06:37 Pavel: You're welcome m8! I'm really glad they can help someone 19:06:48 Pavel: no, no worries, we were talkign about sweeping and practicing in general 19:07:01 Owen: cool 19:07:18 Owen: I'm still crap at 3 string sweeping LOL, I started on the 5 string patterns and I like them so much better 19:07:30 Pavel: hehehehe you'll love them both alter 19:07:37 Pavel: it's even better when you combine those 2 shapes 19:08:42 Staples: Soon I'm going to try to get some theory down, for now I'm trying to get some decent habits again. 19:09:14 Owen: yeah, I need to learn some theory, I cant compose that great and it would help quite a bit 19:09:24 Pavel: i suck at theory 19:09:29 Staples: Ha 19:09:35 Staples: So all that stuff just kinda comes to ya? 19:09:53 Owen: hah, you know a few scales 19:10:09 Pavel: yeah you learn scales and that becomes part of the skill 19:10:11 Owen: I'm not going to swallow the whole book, just set a few paths to follow 19:10:13 Pavel: i never think in theory way 19:10:26 Pavel: i jsut play around and see what fits and in general i hear a melody in my head 19:11:02 Staples: Yeah that's kind of what I'm going for. Get some basic scales down, skim over other things to get an idea of where I'm going and just play. 19:11:08 Owen: I can hear it sometimes, I just have trouble getting them melodies down 19:11:27 Pavel: i wish i could handle theory liek Andrew 19:12:17 Owen: really? 19:12:38 Pavel: yeah 19:12:43 Pavel: he OWNS theory 19:12:51 Pavel: i jsut don't ahve enough will to learn theory 19:13:00 Pavel: sorry for typos... 19:13:21 Staples: I'm sure it's good to know but I find that sometimes it gets a little dull or I find myself entirely clueless. 19:13:31 Staples: So I go practice AP. 19:13:43 Pavel: hehehe 19:13:57 Pavel: you know so far i never found myself stuck in theory - i mean - i never saw a need in theory... 19:14:10 Pavel: i am sure once life is gonna kick me in the face and i'll start learning theory 19:14:42 Staples: I see it's purpose, but it seems for most guitarists it's something to probably get the jist of it and just go with it. I don't see the need to be a theory master 19:15:07 Staples: Learn your scales, some patterns, basic shapes and some of the rules of the game. 19:15:56 Pavel: theory opens doors to new stuff but for now i don't need it 19:16:02 Pavel: i first want to nail technique 19:16:13 Pavel: than i will be able to learn theory together with having fun on guitar 19:16:21 Staples: Ah 19:17:39 Staples: Some of it's nice to just understand. I see people talking about Amaj7# or something like that and I have a total brain fart. Things along those lines. 19:18:17 Pavel: yeah well i know what that means but that's considered to be basic stuff 19:18:31 Staples: That's why I'm trying to get the basics. Ha 19:18:39 Pavel: ok - cool than 19:18:52 Pavel: Owen! You're quiet! 19:19:04 Pavel: still amazed by ripping your friend's ass with sweeps? 19:19:37 Pavel: he's away i think 19:19:51 Staples: I believe so 19:20:30 Owen: still here 19:20:35 Staples: Hey Pavel.
