Awesome stuff. Sud'b With the first lick when you say you practiced 5 minutes a day with a metronome, did you bump up the speed within the five minutes or stick to one speed per day? And did you bump it 5 or 10bpm each time?
I didn’t bump the speed each time. It’s like lifting weights- you wouldn’t increase weight resistance EVERY time. I would stick within a small window for several weeks (like 60-80bpm), then maybe push it an extra 5bpm for the final minute. Spend 80% of your time going slow and easy and you’ll be surprised how quickly speed increases
@@EricBourassa yeah I’m a metal core guy a song called “sound of truth” from as I lay dying during the solo, I’m sure it’s a common riff, just thought it was funny it was in the exact same place at pattern, and I was learning that solo, and thought it was funny it was my favorite guitar riff
Ok... Honest question... First video Ive seen of yours.. No comments? Not sure if you answer comments but Ill ask.. How does that Fly feel in your hands and what would you compare the action to? Ibanez? Jackson? LTD? Ive been playing for quite a while and Ive never picked one of those axes up.. I am interested in them.
The Parker Fly feels like a shred guitar for sure. The newer ones (after 2003 I think) have a slightly thicker neck but still super low action. Buttery smooth. They’re like the Ferrari of guitars
Man thats a crazy guitar. You damn sure dont see it much I've only seen one other person play it, and thats the guitarist from the band Alabama. Its apparently pretty versatile to go from country to this lol
Nice Guitar
Thanks! Yeah, super rare Lime Gold Parker Fly. Been waiting for one to show up on Reverb for a long time
Thanks Eric, great stuff :)
Right on! Appreciate it 🤗
very cool im just starting to get into some licks like this
Yeah sweet!
Dude that’s a sweet guitar
Thanks! Yeah super rare. I did a whole video on it- there’s a few significant dings so I saved literally thousands of dollars on it 🤘
@@EricBourassa awesome! now I’ll have to check out that video
Awesome stuff. Sud'b

@@EricBourassa well thank you for that. Now I have to scour the planet to try and find one..

haha yeah definitely versatile. It's a great guitar, for sure. Very polarizing- people either love or HATE it
Came to hear the 🎸
