Hey guys! I started off as an alternate picker and about a year about I went the economy picking route. I dig both ways of picking and have been thinking about working on being able to move between the two styles. Some licks just flow and sound better with alternate picking, others are...

Hey guys! I have been working on transcribing this for a few days and I am stuck on one section. I just cannot work it out. It is from 3:59ish to 4:10ish. If anyone could help me out, that would be awesome. I am sure we have some people who are excellent at figuring this stuff out. Thanks so...

Hey! I want to purchase the play along bundle.

I keep trying to purchase the bundle, but paypal say I cannot ship purchases to the United Kingdom to the United states....don't know what that means. What should I do?

I understand the theory behind it. I am asking how best to practice application. When I am improvising, it's hard for me to through the fast stuff in EFfECTIVELY, and have it sound good within a phrase.

I hear all three of these guys playing really fluid, fast lines that sound incredible. I would love to incorporate these types of runs into my playing, but I cannot figure out what they are doing. I would assume it would be pent atomic based, but it doesnt sound bluesy. Anyone know what I am...

Hey guys! I have spent many years workin on my technique. I have reach decent speed levels, know a decent amount of theory, and feel like I need to start applying the stuff I have worked on musicially. The problem is, I'm not sure how to incorparate the faster stuff in to a real musical...

ask everyone on here what their earliest exposure to fast guitar playing was? What were a few of the first fast solos you learned?

.I Have played guitar for many years, and have been focusing on my voice for quite a few months, learning to breathe properly and doing vocal exercises every day. Now I am in a situation where I cannot really figure out application for all these exercises. I just do not really know what my...

So how is Paul playing the last long run(covers all 6 strings)? all picked?

I have recently been using Paul Hanson's shredguitaronline.com site for stuff to practice and work on. It is neat, because you pay $10 per month and go through a curriculum for improv and technique stuff. It also isn't really so much about 'shred', its useful for any style. I am curious if...

I just placed my order. Jon, I was wondering if there was an estimated time of delivery?

I worked on the suggestions. This is a brand new video. It has some noodling, but the concept is there. What can I do to improve?

Sorry guys, I have a 6 string question haha. When playing single note lines(alternate picking, sweep picking) on a strat( 3 single coils) with a loose fist grip, i.e PAul Gilbert, is the pick in between the middle and neck pick ups or the middle and back pickup, or where? Thanks guys! Blayze

What you guys do for this problem? I wanna be able to play loose and to the best of my ability during the...

I have been working on the alternate picking thing for several hours a day for a couple years now and just do not feel like I am improving. I must be doing something wrong. Here are two fairly recent videos of my playing that have some 'fast' picking stuff in them. What can I do to fix or better...

I have been working on my picking for a while now. My quest is to reach 6s at 120 by May 5th, the end of the semester. Give it a look and let me know what I can improve on!

I have encountered a few issues while practicing lately and made a video asking about it on youtube. My basic questions include: how do you relax while doing a closed handed picking grip like Paul? I always get cramps in my pinkey finger while I play, I try to relax but it hasn't improved. I'm...

I have been looking to shake things up a bit during my practice and was wondering what everyone elses picking routines were like. I usually start mine with the endurance workout from Riff Training by Jon Strange(Maniacal), two minutes of sixtuplets on each string at various tempos before...

Those are good links, man. Post more!!! haha
