thanks !!!!!! if you later when you're old hear that in a song of a new band, it'll be me ;-)

[Metalstrom]

@kcinkcinkcinnick glad it was useful :)

I've recently gotten into developing my own runs; seeing a scale stretched across the whole neck is so liberating when playing!

[Metalstrom]

@MapleLeafAce Exactly what I found...so easy to get stuck in standard vertical pentatonic shapes - this can be so flexible. Really pleased you found it useful :)

@luigisbrother100

it is just practice because your plucking hand is in a different, lower position. Keep jammin!

[Triskeliontrio]

think your action could do with raising, can hear your fret buzz

Sondz cool :)

[luigisbrother100]

Little problem. I can move my fingers around stably and fast on the lower strings, but I sometimes have problems doing so on the higher ones. Any advice?
