Lesson Voting August!
Added 2021-08-05 13:47:45 +0000 UTCAlright my friends, it's time to decide on the lesson topics for this month :) I have one video in the making concerning music theory, the rest will be up to you - can't wait to see how you all decide!!

Either one of these is fine by me! But a wish on my behalf would be another daily 15-min workout / warm-up, possibly with exotic scales and different intervals etc. :) Hopefully we'll have another 30-day challenge soon (possibly two-hand tapping? O:-) ) , but I'm still three weeks away with the legato-challenge so it's all good, hehe.

I break down some of the more complicated riffs into smaller pieces, then reconstruct from memory. I’ve limited time to practice with all the other projects I’ve committed to, and this methodology keeps me from becoming frustrated. Robert- thanks for the tip on recording my efforts!

2021-08-06 16:48:42 +0000 UTCI play 7 string tuned 1/2 step down so a 7 string lesson every now and then would be nice

2021-08-05 17:58:41 +0000 UTCSomething that really baffles me is unwanted noise from my picking hand when doing descending runs of 3 notes per scale. I always seem to somehow thump the 3rd string while playing notes on the second, or thump the second when playing the first string, etc. Could you cover this in the future, or make it a part of this topic?
