In an old video about 20 second legato he says, "Here's where it's going to start to suck." It was funny and honest. This is a great video!

[@thelegendarygamers1272]

[@anthonydavella8350]

@thelegendarygamers1272 nothing wrong at all. In fact the complete opposite. I went too many directions

Exercise 5 = Every Jim Root solo 😂 I kid, I kid. Steve, I am also Steve and you were one of my first KZbin teachers back in the day. It's crazy your video came up as I am looking to get back into skill development. I look forward to getting back on board! Oh, a sweep exercise would be great. I've been trying to learn that small sweep part on the intro solo in Fade to Black for many years and I just can't seem to get it to speed

[@stinemusiclessons]

Hey! Thank you for your comment! If you'd like a sweep picking lesson here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4e8hY16pNqrqKc Rock on!

[@Dubble_Bubble40]

@stinemusiclessons Woohoo, thanks!!

[@buckywharton3594]

Yes I have a request. A good way to ingrain the foundations.

[@Michael-dp7tz]

Just remember a song doesn't have to be played 8,000 mph to be a great song. Almost every awesome song ever created is anywhere between 50 bpm and 120 bpm. Understand music first before you make the decision to shred or not.

[@mikemorgan548]

JEM helped me too

[@NapasaBalabak]

Synchronicity, stamina, strength..

[@worldofwonders21]

Most people will only get past the beginner stage into intermediate be able to play songs but never reach that next plateau.

[@EdwardPigg-ji4yy]

Accuracy breeds speed.

[@bsquare6809]

You can't do anything fast, that you can't do slow.

[@robschaller9061]

Start slow but in time and play every note clearly and in time. ONLY when you can play the notes WITHOUT making a mistake where YOU KNOW its under your fingers, do you THEN increase your speed. To me, Speed is the single most OVER RATED thing there is in a players ablity to play. The most important thing in soloing is are you MELODIC and how is your phrasing along with your BENDS and use of vibrato. By the time you master those things, you wont give 2 poops about how fast you play it wont even be something you care about... Point in case... DAVID GILMORE not a "flashy" player, not fast at all... certainly not a "virtueoso" but show me a better soloist. Show me a better guitar player when it comes to how melodic, expressive and his ability to make the instrument cry. Do you think there is ever a time when David says to himself, all this is okay but I need to be like Al Dimiloa... a humming bird picker To me the speed thing is almost laughable. You pick up all the speed you need working on learning passages in a solo... Never cared about speed other than what the SONG required in stuff like Black Magic woman... you know good rock and roll... blues based rock!
