Kristofer Dahl28th March 2020Very beautiful etude!!! I always find very relaxing practicing in this way. Few years ago I started to compose my own etude (classical vibe and based on a combination between legato/staccato technique) and now seeing your video makes me want to finish that project.
Yeah - now that I have taken a break in my jam based practice sessions this seems to be the absolute best way to take the boring out of technique practicing. So I can def see myself doing more of these, and you should def finish that project!
Thanks Mon 👊

- Kristofer Dahl28th March 2020Very nice Kris.. And It also shows how the classical style of music sounds great at just about any speed (just not too hurried IMO ) personally, I always like to keep the classical lessons I have learned a bit on the slow side anyway, just so as to extra savour those intricate and quirky changes. Thanks m8!
Agreed, and I found myself working on much more important stuff at slow tempos. Muting control, tone, precis fretting finger placement! Thanks!! 👊This is awesome. Would be awesome with distortion for a more metal/neoclassical approach aswell.
Def would work. I am inspired to try this again, maybe with a more aggressive approach next time 🤘🏻 
Ruva28th March 2020This is awesome. Would be awesome with distortion for a more metal/neoclassical approach aswell.
- Kristofer Dahl28th March 2020Great idea for a lesson and very useful... Arpeggio's and relative scales are what im looking at currently
Awesome Jax, I am very happy to hear I hit the nail!

Have you always wanted to improve your speed - but never enjoyed metronome practicing? This one is for you!
Working on technique CAN be fun, even for those of us who do not enjoy metronome practicing.
All in a neoclassic setting - we will focus on areas most people consider difficult:
Pinky independence
6 string arpeggios
String skipping
The piece loops 4 times - with a 10 bpm increase for each loop. So we’ll go from 105 bpm to 145 bpm. With the extended backing track you have the option o go all the way to 235 bpm (!).
Tone wise I was striving for a full stack sound with a hint of Yngwie but not quite as distorted.
Tempo:
105 bpm to 145 bpm
Gear:
American Deluxe 50th Anniversary strat with Bare Knuckle Boot Camp Old Guard Pickups.
Logic pro software Amp & pedal
Duet2 usb
I used only the factory plugins in Logic Pro, see my settings below.
