The Echo Song by Paul Gilbert - Cover

I'm back! I just got the Boss Digital Delay pedal, so I gave it a try with The Echo Song by Paul Gilbert. Many mistakes, but I did my best at the time... ^^

The Echo Song consists mainly of arpeggios, played with delay (or slapback). What I wanted to achieve when practicing this piece, was to improve my arpeggio and picking techniques, as well as timing and rhythm.

All feedback welcome!

Gear:
Gibson X-Plorer
Line 6 Spider Valve 1x12
Boss DD-3 Digital Delay

Delay Settings:
D. Time = Approximately 400ms (I'm not sure)
E. Level = Max
F. Back = Min

hey man awesome cover!! ive been planning to cover this for ages... but i have some incorrect tabs so i get demotivated, can u let me know where you got yours???

btw can u let me know how u reworked ur right hand technique :P cuz i know mine is fails but i dunno how to fix it... i play how is comfortable for me and when i tried the standard/advised method i feel uncomfortable and outta control

@rancidhotmail I still have problems reaching higher picking speeds using only my wrist, but I just keep practicing. Remember that playing slowly and gradually building speed (also slowly) AND being patient is the key... And of course time...

@rancidhotmail I also became more aware of how I was holding my pick. Thumb being able to angle the pick back and forth leaning on the side of my index finger. I started using only my wrist for picking (not my entire arm) to reduce tension and give me a lot more control and stamina. To succeed changing my technique I just strictly started practicing from scratch using these methods, but my technique changed gradually.
