ha dan im wondering could u play at the same speed on a lespaul type neck i mean does it really matter i.e neck thickness scale length of fret size etc

[DanMummSolo]

@xeeet99 Hi thanks for watching! The neck doesn't really matter once you reach a certain level of playing. I practice all of my techniques on a steel string acoustic guitar. Practicing and playing on only one guitar is a dangerous game, and there is no reason to do it. You won't progress any faster just because the neck is thinner/has lower action. I hope that answers your question, and thanks again for watching!

I am simply in awe, currently learning 0.32 to 0.52 is this a piece you will teach in a future DVD?

[DanMummSolo]

@wassup131994 Thank you very much! I've had a few people request that, so I am definitely considering it! Are you going to make a video of the segment you're learning?

[wassup131994]

@DanMummSolo When I get a proper hang on it, sure! Going to take som time though. Aint the master of listening things of, and a major writing asignment in School. So in a months time, there will be a video :)

[DanMummSolo]

@wassup131994 That's great though. You should post it as a video response to this one when you're done with it. I'll be looking forward to seeing it! :)

What amp do you use? And is there some effect turned on? Your sound is amazing. Cheers

[classicalguitarfav]

Great playing!

[RoyalGrigsby]

How doctored is the tone? If that's just a natural Parker sound, it's the best clean tone I've ever heard.

[AetroyayorteA]

struggling too much, keep working at it... it's pointless to play Paganini if all your dynamics are off because you're barely able to even play the piece.

[MrJacklips]

I personally love the tone you're getting with the Parker. And to play something this precise with a really clean tone is great. Loved it!

[mourningforest]

If you check out some of my own vids you'll see what I mean. I'm okay but my picking skills for technique are behind my musical knowledge. I've tried tons of practice ideas & nothing helps much accept for a slow progression that is barely noticeable. Over 20 years of playing & consistent practice I STILL can't do complex skips or sweeps fluidly w/o the slop? Then I see many young players playing Yngwie's stuff fluently who've only been playing like 5 yrs? I'm like WTF? Is there any hope for me?

[mourningforest]

For me figuring out the notes & phrasing comes easy. It's my technique that's sad. I can practice all day every day hitting all the right notes but also unintentional notes & open strings or muted strings I hit unintentionally. I practice hours and hours until I just about have it close to being right & I feel some progress. Then when I go to play string skipping or fluid arpeggios the next day all my slop is back! My picking hand feels like a spastic child & I've been playing 20 yrs + ! :-S 

[THESOUNDCONSTRUCT]

Is there any way I could borrow your hands to play this, or maybe I could just paste my head on your video and tell everyone it was me.

[MrRobsworld6]

With some really thick necks you may have to adjust your fretting hand though, because you can really hurt your wrist.

This makes me think of a moonlit cobblestone path somewhere deep in eastern europe, walking it with the one you love
