Turn them off to see the impact on tone. GMC281.xml.zip ( 2.49K ) Number of downloads: 166 WANT TO MAKE BETTER LOOKING VIDEOS? *The time has come to start making BETTER LOOKING VIDEOS!!! Heres how to do it without breaking the bank. http://bitly.com/bettervideosnow 80's COLLAB STILL OPEN TIL THE 22nd *If you have not already done so, GO JOIN THE BACK TO THE 80's COLLAB!!!!! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=51900 Let's warm up and get going! FINGER YOGA! ALTERNATE PICKING WHILE PALM MUTING No other technique seems to give folks as much trouble as clean alternate picking while palm muting. Let's work on this a bit as it will give your solos great range/dynamics. It creates a very percusive lead sound used by some killer players (Vai, Nuno, etc.) *The trick is to keep your palm mute planted and pick as much as you can using the finger and thumb instead of the wrist. Many times, folks that have developed a habit of muting with their left hand have serious trouble with this. The good news is, it's easy to fix 281a.gp5 ( 2.1K ) Number of downloads: 87 281b.gp5 ( 2.02K ) Number of downloads: 89 281c.gp5 ( 2.18K ) Number of downloads: 89 281d.gp5 ( 1.79K ) Number of downloads: 97 281e.gp5 ( 2.1K ) Number of downloads: 85 YOU GUYS KILLED IT TODAY!!!!!!! *Especially VERC, JSHELL, GABEWELLS, and STACEYD!!!! *Special thanks to BEN and MARIUSPOP for stopping by!!

FINGER YOGA! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORCING YOUR FINGERS TO OBEY!! Our fingers get trained every time we pick up the guitar.
