Hi everyone,
Am deciding to take the plunge having watched the excellent Cracking the Code series on YouTube and sign myself up - like many of us, I’m frustrated with the ceiling I’ve hit and I hope engaging with the content here will help show the way to the next level.
-
How many years have you been playing? - 20 this year
-
What musical genres are you interested in? - hard rock, blues, prog, metal, fusion, pop
-
Particular things you’re excited to learn / talk about here? - first of all want to find out if my basic stance is holding me back e.g. how I stand, the way I am holding the pick, angle of my wrist etc.
-
Self-taught? Regular lessons with a teacher? Tabs and books to start, a handful of theory lessons a few years back
-
Have you spent much time on technique before finding our stuff? Yes, maybe not enough? Maybe doing the wrong things
-
What Cracking the Code material have you watched? The Series and a few other bits of material on YouTube
-
Can you comfortably play a scale? At roughly what speed? Not sure - will have to try and develop the vocabulary to describe whatever it is I’m doing!
-
Any particular things you find yourself stuck on? Not tensing up when trying to play fast, accuracy
All the best
Dave
