sabi nga, feel. right phrasing helps a lot. nadidismaya ako pag nakakakita ako ng mga shredders sa mga gigs na panay ang lamas sa fretboard kahit sintunado na at mejo icky na yung mga notes, dagdagan mo pa ng uber high gain ng distortion na sobrang compressed.

o baka naman inggit lang ako :D hindi naman siguro.

pero kung seryoso ka talaga, at kung bata ka pa, practice practice practice. parang tula, namememorize kapag may repetition. ganun din sa daliri. take command sa mga fingers mo. the spider exercise helps.

sa kaso ko medyo matigas na mga daliri, so maliit na ang pag-asa. tsaka di talaga ako shredder. ako si master splinter :evil:

speaking of jazz III picks...i saw and bought some picks on a store (di ko na lang banggitin baka may magalit) last year and para silang fake... like "cut outs" from a piece of plastic (parang sa laruan...rough edges). i asked kung bakit ganun. sabi nung nagtitinda kahit sila nagtataka. may nakabili ba sa inyo ng ganito? good thing i have one or two na reserba na nabili ko like 2-3 years ago.

cough cough... l*zer

hmm... metronome = muscle memory = accuracy = speed...
nagmemetronome na ko... still no speed...

how long have you been using a metronome?

the speed won't instantly happen...

here are some things you can try out when practicing with a metronome...

1. practice without any effects... use the clean channel of your amp... do this throughout your regimen...
2. create a calendar for your speed regimen... remember to start really slow... if you can, start at 40bpm then increase the speed when you can really play those licks you want to play cleanly at that specific speed... again, only increase the speed when you have truly played the lick cleanly... set clear and attainable goals for each day of your calendar...
3. stop practicing for 5 minutes if you feel even the slightest bit of pain...
4. do not do anything else when practicing... focus on fretting and picking the strings right to get the right note... be conscious of your sound...
5. you'll feel very frustrated, sleepy, and bored when you do those things above... but that's what you need to do to get the speed you want... so be patient... breathe in and out when you get frustrated... stop practicing and do something else... then return to your guitar and finish the schedule you made for that day...

i, for one, am not able to play any speed licks... but my goal is not to play faster... my goal is to be able to just play the guitar enough to make people listen and enjoy the music...

good luck!

practice! practice! practice! (i think i'm saying these to myself..lol)

muscle memory and time are the things you need to be able to shred on your guitar... and try to look for Jazz III picks... shred on!!!

ps: try learning economy and alternate picking (for your right hand)
     and just practice different kinds of scales with that and you are on your way...

METAL ON!!! :evil:


muscle memory?..sir ano po yun?..hehe!!d ko kasi alam..hehe

Metronome:

the thing that goes tick.... tock.......tick.... tock.......tick.... tock....... if it does not make you crazy...... then I don't know what will

you use it for timing like fly fishing ( A river runs through it),  sex....., playing the guitar, sex......, violin, sex.....and so on.

online metronome - http://www.metronomeonline.com/

old school metronome -




digital metronome -



if you're on a tight budget and you can't buy a metronome from a store, or you don't have net access at home, this is what you can use as a substitute...



use the 'second hand' when practicing... that's exactly 60bpm...

Practice your alternate picking & legato playing.
Don't become obsessed with sounding like one particular player and sounding exactly like him.
