Soooo, its been a while since I last posted something here.
Been practicing and honing my technique, and coming up with my own killer shred so that I can write songs and stuff.
I’ve never gotten the opportunity to slow down my playing, and I did so in my video editing software. But to my horror I think I might have uncovered a flaw somewhere.
I recently came up with this lick that I’ve been creating after observing players like Petrucci and Rusty Cooley.
But wait…what the heck? Why does it sound like I missed a note at 0:24? And from the slow mo part onwards it kinda feels like I’m not accurately hitting the strings with the force that I intended to, and I kinda noticed that after every last 3 notes of each 6 note chunk it has this very ‘‘floppy’’ and poorly articulated transition into the next chunk. I’m not sure if you guys know what I’m on about here but that’s what I’m hearing and it feels as if I’m unconciously using this speed I have to hide this imperfection in order to not make it sound like a pile of slop.
At the very least I’m able to hear better articulation in the second slow mo take at 0:34
Is it my hands? Or is it something else?
