@metalfreak4677 :D thanks man, how do you practice though, and how long have you been playing? Like what do you do to practice during those three hours?
@metalfreak4677 That sounds totally unhealthy. If you don't spend time working on speed then you won't get faster, and if you do just scales, after a certain point your not doing yourself any favors. Practice improvisation more, since if you can improvise, doing exactly what I did here will come totally naturally. I improvised all of this. Its just a matter of getting comfortable with the scale shapes(not just up and down) in any sequence, and learning to play to chord tones when against music.
@SidVicious10101 I do spend lots of a time on practicing speed but I feel that I've stopped progressing and it leaves me looking mental yelling at my hands "WHY CAN'T YOU GO FASTER DAMN IT!" lol
@metalfreak4677 well find something you can't play, learn it, and slow it down with a metronome, so you can actually play it, and gradually(and I mean very gradually) increase the tempo, ONLY when you can play said thing super cleanly.
@tomm335 Thanks!! I don't pick a ton, like he does, but I do try and get my bends to sound like his, he(as well as Hendrix and Blackmore) were big influences on my decision to get a strat though, haha!! Thanks for watching ! :)
Remember that talk we had really late at night bout people listing there ages and then playing. Yup i know that kid. also your fingers look a lot thicker for some reason. cool shredding though. :D
