QUOTE (Smikey2006 @ Aug 22 2007, 07:44 AM)  Well guys i noticed some improvement in my playing today when i went back to a song i couldn't play 2 months ago. The song was Hourglass + Walk with me In hell by Lamb of God. Tried to play them.. nailed all the riffs in about 30 mins ... thanks gmc.. this is a real success story  I've been trying to nail bend up vibrato for the longest time - in the last couple of days I have finally started to get it to sound almost decent! Check my contribution to Muris' Blues lesson here to see where I am at - not perfect, but coming along nicely  https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...ost&p=55481 -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (Wyvernx @ Aug 23 2007, 10:17 AM) I hope you guys don't mind but I'm going to start posting here from now on, I finally got the hang of sweep picking, still very,very sloppy, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I My legato is still pretty slow, but that's because I still lack alot of stamina in my left hand, I feel much better little by little I feel like I'm improving Cool - I'm still working on sweeping - slow going but I focus on it for a while then lose interest. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I just discovered another muting trick! And this has the potential to make a huge difference when I get it down. I actually saw it justinguitar.com while I was researching the spider technique mentioned in another post. Anyway, the trick is to use the first finger of your left hand to mute the lower pitched string immediately above the string you are playing when you are playing repetitive runs swapping between 2 strings (you finger a fret on the higher string but let the end of your finger just touch the lower pitched string) - its hard to mute those with your right hand as you have to keep moving it backwards and forwards really fast. This also has the potential to revolutionize my ascending pure legato runs (e.g. runs across 6 strings ascending with no picking whatsoever - I can do descending fairly well but can't do ascending cleanly). So, a lot of practice and I will be in way better muting shape

QUOTE (JVM @ Sep 17 2007, 06:06 AM) Do you pick each string once or do you do kind of a tapping thing where you do pure legato on all the strings? I have trouble with ascending legato muting too, let me know how it works out. My descending legato stuff works out fine. At the moment, I do both. If I need to I can do runs down all 6 strings without picking, but due to noise, ascending (i.e. oing to a higher pitch) I pick every string once, and mute the lower strings to stop the noise. I am hoping to get to a point where I can change strings using this new technique and not have to pick at all for long passages. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
