Hey there m8s! Well, this day is for me, the one of those bad days. Those day when you havent slept that very well, those days when you have a lack of inspiration, that kind of days. Anyway, to make my day more fun, i was thinking of doing this technique competition. The rules are simple - BECAUSE THERE ARE NO RULES! The only existing rule i guess is to be onest - and to practice!

I was thinking that this week competition is to shred that demonic sixteenth-note runs a la Yngwie Malmsteen also known as junk number two:

Lets say we have a week to make that happen, to shred like Yngwie! So, Sunday is closing day, D day.

Plz share me your progress in this thread (is this a bad idea?)

Remember to be onest, no audio equipment is required, although it would be fun to hear



CHEERS!

I was half joking, I've been playing for 2 years, and I use those kind of licks in between heavy riffs in my own playing all the time, but I picked it up from bands like Lamb of God, so yea, I was kinda cheating because I've already spent time practicing riffs like that, just put in the metronome time and you'll get there.

Actually the odd timing in the first chunk was harder for me to nail, I guess it's because I was in a band for a while that did everything stricly in 4/4, very evenly, so that kind of timing thing is new to me, and very cool.
