This is a quick backing track I made, and an improvisation over it. It's in E Lydian, if you're wondering! I'm pretty excited, because now I can finally participate in some collaborations! Anyways, I didn't work too much on this, just recorded my first take, but it would still be nice to have some constructive criticism! Just wanted to give people something to laugh at... Thanks!

Just me (attempting ) to play Muris' Van Halen lesson (and a little bit of messing around at the end... ). I messed up quite a bit, but this one turned out the best out of the ones I recorded. Since I don't have a whammy bar, I kind of had to improvise and do some slides and neck bending instead... Anyways, constructive criticism is appreciated, thanks! I look really bored... probably just frustrated from so many recording attempts. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You should really try holding the pick between your index and thumb only though. I used to hold it like you are and after switching about a month ago, I've already seen improvement in my playing. It seems awkward at first but just give it a couple weeks and you won't even remember how to play the old way! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It seems awkward at first but just give it a couple weeks and you won't even remember how to play the old way! Eddie Van Halen does it differently. He uses thumb and middle finger but it is all about what is comfortable. I changed my style from thumb and middle to thumb and index and it did help me. Nice licks also. I enjoyed listening to them.
