Well...If you started slow and at a pace comfortable for you, and it still ended up sloppy. Then you probably just have to improve your technique more.

That particular video ended up sloppy. I gotta remake it for that. And i gotta fix my Volume so you can hear me perfectly AND put on some better amp settings so my cam wont freak out

It's not a competion, you don't have to prove to anyone else that you practiced it enough either. But you don't get correct pratice just by playing a lick slowly and then speeding it up instantly. There's very few people that can play 180bpm 16th notes cleanly after 1.5 years, and if they could, they would probably end up like francesco farreri, playing stupid stuff.

Yeah francesco is horrilbe Nah ill just practice those licks a bit more. Sure ive practiced them enough but that video fucked up. Well it just shows me ---->More practice. I dont mean to sound cocky though. I appreciate advice much. BUT i need to remake it and prove to MYSELF that i can do better than that video One thing i didnt practice so i could play is the solo but thats a thing i guess youve counted out

You can never practice something enough. Sounds really cliché, but even guys who've played 10+ years could always improve.

Too true Damn i bet everyone who has seen those movies now think im a really bad player Well shit happens and that only means ...more practice Well i can play the Bed of razors solo pretty well but i wont record it. needs to be a bit cleaner. Im just gonna Concentrate on Children of bodom - Children of bodom.

i have a question regarding theory

what exactly is the diminished scale is it adding the flat 5 or the major sixth to a pentatonic?

the D minor arpeggio has the notes D F A
the D diminshed arpeggio has the notes D F G# B

someone explain to me please

A diminished SCALE is also known as the "half-whole" scale because that's how you calculate the intervals.

It's whole step first, then half etc.

The D Diminished scale would be:

D, E, F, G, Ab, Bb, Cb, Db, D.

Or.

D, E, F, G, Ab, Bb, B, C#, D.

^^I hope i was as good at music as you guys

thanx mate

but isn't that an awfully large number of notes i mean 9 intervals

so create a pentatonic out of them using the 1 3 4 5 7 intervals to solo?

There's only 8 but yeah, it's one extra because you're using a specific interval pattern. It's fine.

You could create a pentatonic scale out of it yeah but it'd sound pretty shit. You'd probably only use it over a diminished chord or a min7b5 or something so don't worry too much about learning it all over the neck.

Just play a full dimished arpeggio with a added b9 and you'll have 5 notes.

b9 ???

 

[The Emptier]

is weird i never cramp up even though i do "spastic arm whatever". im stilling trying to fix it. but i fucking hate using wrist

 

[the phenom]

^^I dont...but now everyone in this thread i suck at playing guitar

 

[The Emptier]

well only a year and a half (almost) and you already have a rr24...and your not to great...

 

[<-Warheart->]

b9 ???

Flat 9/Flat 2nd/lowered 2nd degree of scale

All the same thing.

 

[metalhead_666]

give it time a year and a half is nothing!!! don't expect to be awesome in such a short period of time

btw emptifier how long you playing?

 

[The Emptier]

seriously for almost 2 years. but over 9 years of experience with music (keyboards/piano/composing etc i literally have 2 big clear boxes of music awards and stuff)

 

[the phenom]

well only a year and a half (almost) and you already have a rr24...and your not to great...

Yeah...If you have extra money and know waht you want...why not get it?

Yeah i hope im not fuckin lagging behind...well i just gotta let time show i guess.

 

[The Emptier]

well i mean for your skill level, a lower end model would suit you best, just because you have a "good guitar" doesnt make YOU good, and besides i dont call 1000 bucks "extra money"

 

[metalhead_666]

D, E, F, G, Ab, Bb, B, C#, D.

so yeah flat the second note which is D# and add it to the D diminshed arpeggio to get five notes

awesome thanks
