When you've stopped screaming I'll tell you why I chose this. Technical ability does translate across musical genres but sometimes something will be out of your comfort zone and you'll have to feel like a beginner again for a short while. I like challenges like these because they require you to almost 'shred' but in a totally different way. It will also be refreshing for you dudes to do some intense alternate picking with a clean guitar setting too. Or maybe I just want to keep you guys on your toes.... Speed... I don't mind if you can't manage the 140bpm. It's a lot to take onboard and I want you to be able to devote your time to learning the correct parts so speed may have to take a backseat ok ? Enjoy !!

He picks, slides and then hammers-on the same note instead of picking it in the lesson. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Something is wrong with my left hand, as soon as I start playing, my veins pop out and it hurts, no matter what I play. Yesterday I didn't play anything hoping the pain would disappear but today it's back again. To make things worse, my high E string broke, and I don't have a replacement string, only my garbage Floyd Rose guitar which I can't get to work. And I don't have the money to buy new strings at the moment. I don't even know how to participate in collabs now! And I already composed solos for the Racer X and Led Zeppelin collabs. Damn it. I don't know... Everything went bad for me and I guess I'll have to take a break... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Could you go and see a doctor about this and ask him to refer you to a proper physician ? General doctors know enough to cover basic info but they're not experts. In the past when I've seen doctors they haven't told me anything I didn't know from looking on the internet. I'd be a lot happier if you managed to see a specialist. If you just want to rest it for a week or two then do that but if it comes back you've gotta go see someone about it - that's a direct order from the Sensei You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I don't think it's very serious, I just think I overplayed in this month , because when I start my session, I don't know to stop. So I never made pauses longer than 2 days. I'll try to rest for at least five days, and then see what happens... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Sucks to hear about the injury, but just don't touch a guitar for a few days for sure. Heal up! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

By the way, if you won't be able to play the guitar before collab deadlines, you can try to mix your solos using VST plugins, so that they become synth solos instead of guitar . It'll be a good practice, you'll probably need to adjust some parts of solos to make them more "synthy", and besides it's really fun to experiment with different sounds and textures . As for the video.. you can pretend you are playing air piano . Or draw piano keyboard on paper and play the solo pretending it's a real thing .

There is something wrong with my guitar's jack input, it was kinda loose for a few days, and a couple hours ago some parts fell down to floor as I attempted to put the jack in. It doesn't hold the jack now . You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

This is something I have never done and its so tricky to get the rhythm going.. and since everybody seems to be having problems, it could as well give sometime to everyone. Master?
