Canis, I know how you feel on this one. You know what works for me when i don't have a guitar? I practice in my head. I visually play in my own mind licks and ideas. Believe it or not you can you actually learn a lick this way without a guitar as long as you know what it sounds like and where on the fret board to sound the notes. I do this quite often actually after a practice session, i will play the lick in my head visualizing my hands and guitar and just step by step playing it in my head. It seems strange at first but for me at least it works. Daniel That's an awesome idea Thanks a lot ^^ I also found out that uncounciously, I whistle the tune I'm playing in my head -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!

Well, more spesific; I'm doing the E Minor - Melodic Solo lesson from Muris, which is the MTP for this week. I know the entire song, and I can play it (in my opinion) decent without backing. I've been a bit better with backing since I posted the previous post, but I still just "lock up" some times..
I think the problem is that I concentrate so hard on beeing on time when I listen to the backing, that I sometimes forget what to play next Beware of spelling mistakes; I'm on a 3/4 size laptop This post has been edited by Canis: Oct 27 2008, 07:56 AM -------------------- GMC is not just a website...

The usual setback of this lies in getting past the memorization phase of the lesson. Sounds like you have it commited to memory, but its not automatic yet. Sometimes takes a little while with certain songs or solos. I have had this problem with a few songs over the years, where i have this mental block for that particular song. I could play it a million times, not play it for a week and forget the whole thing and have to relearn it again. Just keep working thru it and try not thinking too hard about it....you will get it :0) Daniel |

My weakness now is playing fast. Mainly playing cleanly when playing fast.
Oh and if I'm in standard tuning my fingers slip off the string during vibrato (I have been getting better at it though ) -------------------- Enter The Doom And Gloom If You Dare Below This Message

It is a real struggle for me but i am going to work on it and eventually it will work for me i hope Practicing this bending lesson helped me a lot, together with a master tip from Smells: If you bend with your ringfinger, use your middlefinger and pointer on the two previous frets to support your bend =) -------------------- GMC is not just a website...
