Embarrassing myself as promised
Well, bizarrely some of you guys wanted instructional clips about picking ... from me (that's the bizarre bit)
Anyway, I did these quite a while back, but only just got them to Gelato to upload for me (they add up to about 60-odd MB). I actually did an entire bloody video jobby (which I can send anyone who's strange enought to want it, for the price of a dvd-r, shipping, and my messing about), and pulled out the main sections as mega-compressed .movs (apologies to you Apple-haters ... but then, I don't really care about you anyway )
Anyway, here they are. Particular apologies for the sweeping section. I kept screwing it up, and by the time I came to do the take I kept, I was really quite pissed off (it probably shows, too )

Here are a couple of powertab files of two of the exercises:
The alternate picking/string crossing thing: http://www.owen.net.nz/raf/string%20crossing.ptb
And the economy picking thing: http://www.owen.net.nz/raf/descending%2 ... conomy.ptb
That's all I've got at this point though.

I don't know what's up with it really. I think it started happening after I installed an old soundblaster to replace the built-in sound on my Ignorant Bloody Machine (the stereo's hooked up to the PC).
Glad you liked the vids

The little finger does what it wants. Even if you watch guys like Jason Becker you see their little finger curling away from the fretboard whenever it's not actually fretting a note. I don't think it's possible to stop it. By the same token, it's probably not an issue, given that those guys play what they do depite it.Tehhaxorr wrote:did you ever have the problem of your little finger floating off the fretboard?
I cant seem to stop it
jloo - cheers I think it's important to try to reduce everything to its simplest - at least conceptually, even though the technical side might be difficult.

most hendrix songs u gotta get use to wrapping ur thumb over the top and fretting notes on the low E, and rhythm rhythm rhythm.Jloo wrote:maybe you could do a little series of lessons on learning a particular song eg little wing etc
give tips on the best approach to nail the song.... picking dynamics... and so on
id be jumping at your vids tsuken, but this crappy dial up isnt ideal, mite have to get the dvd
success is fleeting, but artistry lasts forever.
