Drop G tuning: GDGCFAD What bands beside Born Of Osiris use this? and would you suggest different tunings? something more unique not just drop g# or basic dropped tunings.

I'm totally self taught (8 years), I do not anchor, and I don't think I'm a very effective picker. Everyone says you need to pick the strings at an angle but how do you do that on the top strings if there isn't a place to rest your hand? When I try to rest it on the bridge not only is it...

So I've been really lazy the last year and my right hand is not what it used to be. I want some really fun exercises that are awkward and difficult. I don't want any 1234 ones, I've done enough of those. At the moment I'm working on Nevermore's Born. That lick in the chorus is exactly the kind...
