Guitar Players on DTF: TOX Is Now a Member!

Another thing to note here is that it'll take a while to be able to pick with the accuracy that will allow you to strike this example and pretty much JUST hit those three strings.  I used to think "God, I'll NEVER be able to pick that specifically."  Now, 20 years later, I've gotten to the point that I can hit 2-3 string riffs with ease, no matter where they are.  Keep up the good work!

Perhaps, but having seen pics of you in full stage dress, I can attest to the fact that you are metal incarnate.  I don't see how that will help TOX or other lesser mortals.

Study and play.  What I'm upset is after years of not playing in a band and slowly playing less is I forgot what I learned.  Sure I can play songs but if somebody were to talk scales and changing to a different key, I'd be lost.  And you need and want that when playing with other musicians.

The "higher" acoustic guitar part in Ghost of Perdition is too fast for me. I can't go up and down the strings that fast without strumming!

MUST MASTURBATE MOAR!

You using economy picking? Or maybe hybrid? I agree that it will be near impossible with alternate but its quite do-able with a change of approach.

Guys, I am having a major problem with Guitar Pro.

Currently I am trying to learn all the solos in Windowpane. When I switch the sheet music to "lead guitar", then skip to where the solos start, they will play like normal, but if I go back and select a certain part I want to go to, suddenly the entire "lead guitar" volume goes off and I cannot hear anything. When I try and turn the volume back up, the program just shuts off.

What the fuck is happening?

[Sigz]

No idea. You try loading the tabs in tuxguitar and see if that plays it correctly. https://tuxguitar.herac.com.ar/download.html

[TheOutlawXanadu]

I think I solved it. Another n00b question:

If the tab says to slide but not from a specific note, does that mean you have liberty to slide into the note from anywhere?

[TimmyHiggy]

Yeah its more just about the slidey transition into the note than anything, like some of the notes in the early part of the razor's edge solo.

[Marvellous G]

From an octave down of the same note is always nice though.

[cthrubuoy]

I tend to slide about 5/6 frets for this, it's all personal preference though and different variations give a different sound.

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Exactly.  All about preference.  Usually you're not looking for a huge slide.  Generally 5-6 like ctb said.  Longer or shorter, for dramatic/emotional effect.

Can anyone point me to a good place for right hand fingerpcking technique?

I need to learn the right way to do it now before my habits get any worse.
