@FazSaber They make a good impression :)

Ah that solves it!

Thanks a lot Uderoche :)

The guitar is an Ibanez Saber (S Series as they're now known) and it's a year older than me! :D 1988

Here's the video :) I've shown the way I practice normally (thumb behind the middle finger with my stupid-ass Swan wrist) from front and back. Also, shown you a method I found today from re-watching that Pebber video about keeping the wrist straight (or in my case, as straight as I can get it) by having the thumb to the side slightly (hitch-hiker) ha

Cheers :)

Thanks for the kind words :)

Ha I'm the other way round! I've been practicing the right hand drills for about 2/3 weeks now, 2 hours a day of just the first module o_O

Looking at these videos I've noticed some things that could be improved, that damn swan wrist! I can keep my wrist pretty straight with my forearm when I'm on the top 3 strings, but when going to the bottom three the wrist curves and after playing for a while it really hurts haha I can keep my wrist straight on the bottom three if I move my thumb horizontally (so my thumb makes me look like I'm hitch-hiking) but I'm sure that's BAD!

For the right hand on the bottom three strings I could slightly flatten the pick since it kinda sounds scratchy

Perhaps you could give me some tips on the left hand? Your technique is looking good from your video.

Oh, and about the recording! I used a Logitech HD Webcam C270, cost me £25 and it lets me zoom in onto my hand without looking grainy and there's a feature on the cam' where it can follow my left hand (pretty cool)

For the sound, I used a Zoom g2.1u guitar pedal on a clean setting which is plugged directly into my audio interface (PreSonus Audiobox Usb cost me £150)

For the editing, I used a simple (free) program called Magix which works directly with my webcam.

This post is VERY long!!
