Thanks Mertay,
Yeah, I have always been guilty of pressing too hard, in my early REC takes Gab always told me my guitar was out of tune, I always tuned it. It turned out I was pressing too hard and making sharp notes. My notes aren't very defined in that take, I'm concentrating so hard on my tarantula finger that I'm forgetting everything else. I don't think the progress is too bad though for one week trying to correct a 20+ year old bad habit Cheers mate. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I'm the same as you Phil I had the right hand of a vice on my fretboard, It's taken me quite a while to lighten up my fretting and start to relax, I still need to do more work stretching as I have way too much tension on two tone fingering, but it's getting there. Pushing my elbow forward enabling my hand to come around the fretboard more has helped

To POSTER BOY AND PHILL
I wrote this lick as a drill for you guys to serve as a warmup and ear training, and for practice switching between alt picking and econ picking, at speed, in the same lick. Give it a listen and see if you can do it by ear!! Without tab.It's a basic triad, just moving down in whole steps. Same thing at each position. It's also LOOPABLE!! So you can grab it and loop it in your daw. Try it *THUMBLESS (if possible) *DOUBLE PICKED (Ifpossible) https://soundcloud.com/techniqueswithtodd/inside-picking-drill-with-traverse I'm the same as you Phil I had the right hand of a vice on my fretboard, It's taken me quite a while to lighten up my fretting and start to relax, I still need to do more work stretching as I have way too much tension on two tone fingering, but it's getting there.

And here it is with some keyboards It's turning into a "Thing" I think I'm going to use it as the basis for next weeks Shred Challenge with bonus points for anyone that can play the rythm part as well.

Thanks Todd
That will be a nice warm up. I've just started going through PG's Intense Rock 1, I've had it since the 90's but never gave it a proper chance. -------------------- My SoundCloud

Thanks for that Todd,
I doubt I could sort that out by ear though, my ear is probably my least musical body part I'll probably give it a try at the weekend. Thanks for your help buddy. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Todd but as you know, life has thrown a couple of curve balls at me recently so I haven't had as much time to get on my geetar.
Hopefully soon Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in instalments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success.” Israelmore Ayivor |

Phil! How's that finger work coming man? It's coming on great thanks. I've made big improvements, I think the final fine tuning will take months. Always the same, you get 80% across the road very quickly and the remaining 20% to the other side takes a long time (Pareto Principle) -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
