    Im working on Lenny right now and its such a tough song to get the dynamics accurate. The toughest parts for me are definitely the rhythms with hybrid picking. What a brilliant guitarist (you, too Rick!)

      @@lambofreerun4715 I learnt with tabs as a starting reference. Then when I understand the general scale/key/patterns, I hybridize a little bit and play what feels right.

    @JohnMarcell 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    What do you think is more important about guitar, technical input or emotional. I've been playing for a year but when I play it feels 1000x better then it sounds. How do I understand this? I want to play different stuff but I always go back to the same sequence of notes simply because the feeling it gives me emotionally. But I don't want this problem to limit my playing so if you have any similar experiences with this I'd be happy to know how to fix this.
