I just want to say thank you all!

You’ve given me hope when i’ve felt like the worst guitarist ever & i really mean that. I know that the things i’ve tried to learn isn’t considered easy by any means, but when putting in countless hours and seeing no results in return it’s difficult to not feel a bit down and questioning your decision to even pick up the guitar. Every time i felt that way i came to this site and always got motivation to push through it!

After years of struggle with my picking hand i feel like i can make an attempt at this intro of Hos Down by Jason richardson. 225 bpm feels manageable. At 250 bpm it becomes very sloppy with sync, timing, hitting the right notes etc as you see in the short video… but it doesn’t feel completely out of reach anymore!

Excuse me for the TERRIBLE video, my webcame doesn’t seem to know how to handel light/shadow contrast, but there’s some sound at least.

It’s not my intent to promote any yt channel, i don’t plan on uploading anything else atm. My sole purpose is to thank you all!!! I’m extremely grateful & I wish you all the best! <3

Hey welcome back! I forgot if you were here when we did this, but we have made quite a lot of progress on the subject of speed particularly when it comes to wrist motion :slight_smile:
