Your picking hands looks very tense, it seems like you're trying to go hard out at it or something... I think it's best to just relax the hand and let it go more naturally, and that really gets reflected in the finished product.

Apart from an overload of sliding, I think that's a good job considering you're just learning to fingerpick now!

*wishes he had an acoustic better than a cheap $150 Casino*

i thought i had most of them right.. you'll have to ignore the parts i fuck up and the notes don't ring out like they should hehe which part sounds wrong to you, Kaberonie? i'd like to know so i can fix it.
your first slide is not supposed to be there.

E----5------3------2------3------0------
B------0------0------0------0------0**--
G--------0------0------0------0---------
D---------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------
E--0-------(0)----(0)----(0)------------




** your slide is around here.



and the part where you slide to the G on low E after the arpeggio:

G--------0-0-0-0-3/4-0--
D--------2/4\2-2-4/5-2--
A-----------------------
E----/3-----------------

(strumming not shown)

your part sounds very different



anyways, man...you're still one of the better guitarists I have seen around.



I've asked this a hundred times, how come you've never gotten back to me on my msgs?

 
i signed up for the forum today, Kaberonie :p you'll see me posting there occasionally. And i actually know that slide isn't there/... but it's easier for me to do that hehehe i just do it anyway. I dunno why i do that sometimes.

and for the guy who asked, i've been playing for 5 years.

and Moonlapse, thanx for the tip! i never noticed it was so tense... my hand's not used to doing that kind of stuff, so i guess that might be why it looks awkward hehe
 
I'm trying to learn this song, but I suck major ass at finger picking. I have no coordination at all. Of course, considering I just started really trying to play guitar, I'm getting a little ahead of myself...

Thanks a lot man.
For a minute there I just thought you were ignoring me completely.

I made an edit to my original post if you wanna check it out.

btw: under what username?
 
Bumblefoot said:
same username, Bumblefoot. You're PimpDaddyKAZ or something like that, right? and i'll check out that part again and try to correct it. Thanx dude!

PimpDaddyKABZ....supermod:cool:

Kabz is knick since my name is Kabir.

And no problem man.....your videos are very entertaining:D
 
Bumblefoot-

Nice job, really nice, I was thinking the same thing about the slide on Benighted. I checked out your December Flower solo, and damn, pretty good man; same for Forest of October. I have never tried to learn either solo, but I will now. I hate being outdone, and you have inspired me to be better than you (don't take that as an offense, it's just my nature). I haven't solo'd for about two years, or at least learned new ones. I too have been playing for about five years, I learned Metallica solo's (cuz that was what I first learned), as the years went by, I learned more riffage than solo's. But mark my words I shall improve!! :heh:

Anyway, I'm using your December Flower and Forest of October vids as reference, thanks. And as soon as I get a webcam and some webspace, I'll have to post up vids of my own.
