First video looks good doubles sound good remember if you are glitching
To slow it down and pound out loads of reps

Second video, thumb does look over crooked do you feel you are pushing hard into the back of the neck.

as Ursins says lightness of touch, are you comfortable with no thumb support. not ideal to play with ( All tough seen Pebber shredding like this) but good to see if your relying on the thumb too much.

Agree with Ursin also that lightness goes too for the right picking hand, when you feel like the pick will drop you probably have the right tension on it .

looking good though man.

I'm no expert but yes having your thumb pointing towards the headstock pulls the palm up closer to the neck.
making fretting more of a struggle.

Saying that it is the pentatonic scale you are playing there.
How about with 3 nps is your thumb still the same

Says video is private you need to change it to unlisted in you tube so we can view it here! :)

great solo Ursin.

not sure about the Casio keyboard solo just before lol..

Would love to participate unfortunately i can no longer play with the right hand ever since the picking challenge
have tried leaving the right arm for weeks at a time and still the minute i get back to the playing position the right arm plays up. so hard not to play.
I subscribe and thank pebber for all the help but feel at the moment i may have to give guitar up again.
been practising solidly on the drums with no pain. so getting back to drumming at the moment
sorry for hijacking the thread with bullshit

Thats great stuff Pebber. just when I think there was no other ways to play the scale tone system. so 4 string groups would be
3-3-3-3 / 3-3-3-4/ 3-3-4-3/ 3-4-3-3/ 4-3-3-3/ 3-3-4-4/ 3-4-3-4/ 4-3-3-4/ 3-4-4-3/ 4-3-4-3/
4-4-3-3/ 3-4-4-4/ 4-4-4-3/ 4-4-3-4/ 4-3-4-4/ 4-4-4-4/

Probably missed some permutations now to work out 5 string groups ha ha!

OK so not a great recording on phone but here is down strokes at 116bpm best i could do till i get a new Camera

Keep yer head up Scott
I for one would like to thanks Pebber firstly
and you Scott for getting me to go back to the basic fundamentals.
and all the guys on here for the support we give one another.

Do not worry what others say
!Do not feed the troll!

Yesterday 1 hour down strokes 1:30 hours alternate 2:30 hours. on upstrokes.

Love that riff Ursin used to play it alternate. Till I found Pebbers site

Little breaks allways seem to help as the hand relays the new information to the brain.

Bit late on this one great idea Scott getting us all back to the basics..

Here is 16ths at 88bpm
And second video
16ths downstrokes 32nds alternate at 100bpm






NOt happy with those upstrokes
Really gonna work on bringing those inline with the down strokes..
