Learning theory looks interesting too, I would really like to learn more about it. Improving my Alternate picking while changing / crossing strings is really something important. My weakness, Inside picking, sweep picking, Alternate picking with strings changing, theory, improvisation, speed My strongest point, I think I'm a good rhythm player, I learned staccato, palm muting on low strings, gallop and things like that by myself, and really naturally. My favorite guitar player, Dave Mustaine, Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Angelo Batio and many others that I don't know the name. Mainly metal guitarist and Neo classical guitarist.

I've practiced without amps anyway, and I have nothing to record acoustic at the moment, that lesson is now easy, but I do it everyday to practice stamina and memory. I'm always ready for a new challenge ! EDIT : I have a "special" request. Can we try working on improvising as soon as possible ? School just started, and me and my friends planned that every Friday, we will now jam together, and I would really love to improvise. I tried to improvise by myself, but it wasn't satisfying and didn't really fit with the chords / song. Can we ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
