Thank you. I just needed the first 3 minutes for the first phrase because your way of playing that phrase is easier than Lick Library.

@ayd1nmo I know- sometimes they overlook common sense. Happy I could help out with my video.

1:09 hate it when that happens to me :\

[dtm106]

@CBBalthazar I was actually suprised that it only happened once.

[CBBalthazar]

@dtm106 is there a way I can stop my fingers before they go over the frets I need them to stop on?

[dtm106]

@CBBalthazar Having a clear idea in your mind of your target seems to help. If you know you want to slide to th sixteenth fret, it's good if you know thats the fret that comes after the fret marker. If you also know that you want the note G#, and you can understand that note is G#, that helps....if you know that you want the chordal 3rd of E7, that the note is G#, and that it is one past the marker, even best. Practice and understanding...

looked all over for part one, but no joy. Still I can get good at the second part I guess.

@dtm106 Thanks again for the help :)
