Thanks Guys.
Yup, it’s going through a POD Xt.
Hey, hope I can bother you guys a bit more. I’m currently learning the Paul Gilbert song “I cannot tell a lie”. Actually inspired by watching Lyle Watt (who’s a member here at IG) in which he does an awesome job. I actually like his selection of songs he decides to cover and he has a very smart approach to it. So I’ve decided to shamelessly copy his choice. š
This particular song has a section which has some alternate picking at a speed which I can’t really play yet.One approach is to treat this as an exercise and slowly improve at it. But I’ve been working on my legato quite a lot and I’m very satisfied about the improvements I can see. So why not concentrate on the musicality and try to work on that section using both a combination of picking and some smartly placed hammer-ons and pull-offs? And keeping in mind that it needs to sound as good as on the record. But then, I also want my strict alternate picking technique to improve. š”
Hope I make sense. These questions sound silly, but we as guitarists spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff. Or maybe I’m crazy! š
