I got the idea because I have been struggling with Marty Friedman's 0-7-2 and I'm frustrated at the moment and I'm in need of a break You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Yesterday, I started with Muris´s "Lydian Phrasng - Advanced". I didn´t know that I would learn it so fast. I only have to master it. Then I´ll post a video here.

I'm working on Blood and Thunder by Mastodon, I got most of it, but the bridge harmony part is killing me, I'm trying to figure it out all by ear, and I got something that sounds really close but isn't exact, and the second half of that bridge is totally escaping me right now. But I'll get it. On a side note, I don't really learn songs for cover purposes, it's more like learning songs is my practice, it develops my ear, and because every song has a couple parts that are hard for me, I have to practice them to get that specific technique/lick down. And once I got the song down, I tend to forget it, but the technique I learned is still there, and I can make my own licks using techniques I learned and honed while learning the song, then I can morph them and twist them to make it original. I'm saying this because I know some dudes who don't learn other people's songs because they think it will make them unable to be original somehow, witch really just backfires because if you don't know what others are playing, you don't know how NOT to play. And those guys usually end up being the least creative. Sorry, I'm long winded when I'm tired. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Everything else I just need to practise a little but I managed to play it at 10 bpms less that original untill the sweeps. Then I'm stuck with da.... da..... da.... da.... da (you get it). THat blows so I'm taking a small time off from that song and focusing on my technique (sweeping) then I'm gonna go back... and rock the [poop] outta it Edit for language - Smells You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

That's not really my home territory so I am have a hard time recording it..! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I transcribed and got down most of the first solo yesterday, biggest pain for me atm is getting a tone from my Spider 3 that is even remotely close to John's smooth lead tone from his Mark IIC+.

(Played for almost 6 months, but hadn't had time to play at all the last 4 of them, so It's like, i'm still at the same point as I was in march/april) But hey, school is up, and that makes a whole 9 months of practice-time.
