Right on SlashiePie, I can definitely relate. You get to a point in your guitar playing where it becomes necessary to absorb as much practical theory as possible in order to really "see" what you can do with your guitar.

Music theory becomes very fun when you understand it properly.

I for one feel training your voice really helps your musical ear too, it has for me. Learning piano can also really refresh your approach to guitar, taking things you learn and applying them to guitar and vice versa.

Been swamped at work today but i planned to put links to Pebber playing live. And to McLaughlin. Was a decent question, often takes time to get decent answers. Hit youtube for pebber. It is there.

Actually, I was going to suggest the intro to Little Guitars by Van Halen. There's some nice tremolo picking on the top two strings while he taps out the melody on the bass strings. If I could play Sarod, that's what I'd be trying :).

Where did you get the idea that I just want to play misirlou? It was just a vague example of a song that can be played using Sarod-style picking.

I was just curious as to what songs people may have found fun to play using Sarod, I only used misirlou as an example off the top of my head.

I've been focused mainly on Pebber Brown's Picking Technique Vol. 1 for almost 3 years now, I am merely trying to find ideas to apply these techniques Musically.

Sure Misirlou is a very cliche song for fast picking, however I find your response pretty ignorant, if your learning a musical technique you want to be able to eventually use it to make music.

Furthermore, just because Dick Dale plays it that way....doesn't mean you have to.
