Updates on my week so far.

 

Beatles:

I don't play enough of these types of songs, my chord playing has gone downhill. Took a good few goes to get this down.

Iron Maiden: Working on getting the descending legato lick up to speed, everything else is done.

 

Dream Theatre: Bass is finished, unfortunately the low tuning leaves my strings with all the tension of wet noodles which leads to lots of note recognition issues. I had a run earlier where I hit every note but finished with 98.75%. It is what it is, nothing I can do about it.

Guitar wise I've done most of the rhythm parts and I'll be starting on the solo tomorrow.

The one with the really long name on bass = 100%

 

It looks like it only took 3 tries, but I spent a lot of time in RR at 90% to 95% speed.

I put a bi of RR time into Running Free on bass.  I'm already up to 98%, but I admit that my swing eighths are a little uneven.  I should work on keeping an even swing tempo some more regardless of the score.

Offtop  :(

 

 

Well, I made a video to demonstrate my problem with lower frets.

Please don't care about palm mutes and the other things.

Could someone tell me how to "fix" that.

I chose that song and that speed especially to show what is going on.

First try - I pressed the 5th string till the end (first photo). And the second - just a little (second photo).

As far as I'm concerned the trouble with the 5th and 6th strings and 1-2 frets.

My last strings (La Bella HRS) had the same problem but only with 6th string 1st fret.

Now I'm using dunlop strings and that thing pisses me off!

Thank you in advance!

And sorry for offtop.

In this song you have a very low tuning, is it drop C?

In your video's first run are many misses on that one note A1, also it sounds out of tune there: the pressure of your index is way to strong. On second run are no misses, also it sounds in tune, using a light pressure there, so what's the problem?

For low tunings you need to play heavy gauge strings to avoid any going out of tune effect by pressing the string too hard and/or strumming too hard. So the problem is not caused by the brand, more the gauge of your strings.

Generally you finger should always placed as close as possible to the next fret rod, not in the middle or the bottom of a fret. This way you need less pressure and the notes are sounding clear.

Ok, because of poor results and overall lack of skill @NoonyDeloony gets downgraded to Advanced. She would be forever remembered as shameful person... and then she'll make another charming video and we'll forget about that.

I also started with the DT solo, and I found any things I won't practice like that and should be improved for a better fretboard logic and playability. So I just unpacked the psarc and did some significant changes in the solo, changed the new xml and repacked it. And here is the new version

DT - Looking Glass v2

practise is delayed to tomorrow

Trying to be less lazy this week. :P Spent 20 minutes on the legato in Running Free.

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

 

I haven't hit those last two bends in any of these playthroughs, in spite of the fact that I can play them fine on their own. Shifting to them fast is really hard!!
