One of the first things I tried to improve when I joined CtC was this solo in an original Invincible Czars piece. After about a year and a half, I’ve gained enough ability to play at 160 BPM! Previous max was in the 130 range. It feels almost effortless now. Almost.
thanks to everyone here for tips and advice!
Awesome job! I really dig the mix of alternate picking and the hybrid stuff.
thank you! I realized there’s not much DSX in there after posting. The melody of this piece is ALL DSX (my natural orientation). I’ll post that later.
So, SO many of my own pieces and solos have been improved by simply starting with the opposite stroke (up or down) from the way I’ve always played them. Amazing that something so simple really did “crack the code”!
