i liked ezri better xD.

Lol, I hate the episodes when she is hardly in it. I'm like, Daxiewaxie! Come back!

here's another bach one.

ranma are fucking awsome, i dont understand how you can move your fingers that fast, and in your hands in sync with each other, its just amazing. and i also never understand how your guitar sounds like that, what kind of things have you got for it, distortion or some other type of effects? because i have nothing but an amp, and i dont know how to make it sound cool, or are you just doing pinch harmonics or what (which i find impossible)

Wow
That is just awesome!

I don't know whether or not I am inspired to pick up the guitar and practice, or just throw it at the wall. lol

Very nice ranma!

Thaks man. As for speed. strenth in wrist. I Took time on my recent stunt,I played guitar at least 3 hours a day doing nothing but learning songs witha metronome. Guitar pro (which you can get a real decent copy with torrent) has a wicked loop trainer. Just highlight a few bars in a song and work your way up. you can set the percentage of the tempo increase.

what i do is this: memorise the bar or segment i want to work on. set the speed trainer at 40% and set a 1% increase after every loop. Play along with it until i start making mistakes. then set it to a tempo just below where screwed up and loop it with no increase and play with that until i'm pretty comfortable. I take a break. go back set it to about 60% and increase by 1 or 2% percent each loop. i wash rinse and repeat until i can play it at 100% or more.

Durig these sessions i pay attention to syncing my right and left hand. I also make sure that my timing is on the beat. i sometimes count in my head "1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 etc" as I'm playing so if I'm playing triplets my playing wil be like "1,da,da,2,da,da,3,da,da,4,da,da".

after doing that evfery day for a few weeks i had to stp because my wrist started to hurt. But hat's fine because it's getting stronger. Make sure it's a song or alick that you really enjoy playing.

as for effect's i have a line 6 pod 2. and also I put it through a metalzone pedal at the sametime. I just mess wit the nobs and the bttons until i get the sound i like. this sounds good through a half decent amp. but most of the time it's through my computer on headphones.
as for pitch harmonics look up Paul gilbert pitch harmoics on youtube. i think he has a video explaining it well.
hope this helps.

wow thanks a lot man, that actually helped a lot. i have been told that i should try doing the whole start slow thing, but i didnt think it actually works, but now i know thats how you did it, that should give me a bit of confidence.

i do already have guitar pro, and have been looking for a tempo changing button, but i cant find it, where is it?

and will those effects things you have give you any sound you want, or would there be any other stuff i would need?

p.s. sorry for hijacking the thread

I really want to learn some classical shit. I can do some classical stuff, and I really like fingerpicking. Do you have a website with notation on this stuff? Not tabs. Tabs make me throw up a little in my mouth.

slash it's the button with twoarows circling with eachoter. fiddle with it to figure out how it works.

I only read tabs some guy. sorry.

oh yea, thanks ranma.
someguy, whats wrong with tabs, they are like the best thing in the world, they are the easiest things to read, unlike that other crap you get. but on guitar pro that other crap is on it aswell as tabs by the way, above the tab there is a load of stuff i dont understand, but i think its what your looking for.

i'm so use to tabs after 10 years of guitar i can pretty much sight read them if it's a chord progression.

here's more of a Hi-fi demo version of the same concerto. done with a batter backing

Tabs have no rythm. You can't compose with them.

well they kinda do, but if you have guitar pro then you can compose easy with it.

p.s. emm, i wouldnt have known that you ranma/man of shred if you had gotten rid of your sig pic. you will fully loose your identity on this site if you change the sig pic lol

I know. I was like...dayum, who's this guy with all the videos, then I saw the signature and I was like...dayum. That's this guy.

LOL guys.

Here is Naruto: The Rising fighting spirit.
I thought the usual tempo was kind of slow so i sped it up!

here's a cover of an 80's J-pop song - Kanashimi yo Konnichiwa.

Woah!!! you really rip out those solo's.

Is Joe Satriani your Dad?? Lols you look a bit like him, but with hair.

I assume that first one was mirrored, surely you cant play that good left-handed aswell.

Keep shredding
