Just bend like crazy and use a hard pick You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Bend it two whole steps 50 times agressively, and you're definitely on a good track to break you "virginity". You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Pissed the wife off and woke the kids up, ruined two picks (broke one, wore huge grooves in the other) and still no luck. On the plus side I made a TON of progress with my bends and slides (my fingers are raw). And I nailed a bunch of licks I've been working on and came up with a bunch more And had a blast playin!!!! Inspired by Ivan's new video I think I'm gonna change my strings and give my guitar a nice cleaning. My guitar has been such a trooper through all this and I want to make her feel special. Knowing my luck I'll break a string tuning You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Nothing worse than breaking strings in the middle of rocking out imo I hate it when it happens really annoying especially with a FR double locking trem, I find just changing my strings on a regular basis means I dont break hardly any these days I used to break the A and D strings a fair bit but now its mainly the high E or B string thats if I break any at all in between string changes.

Knowing my luck I'll break a string tuning i don't know if you mentioned it already, but what string size do you use ... 008 or 013 ? ... be careful if it's in the area of a 012/013 set ... you will most likely break everything else but not your strings .. first of all you fingers. Breaking strings is not that much fun to risk to be injured (.., but an experience of course). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
