I figured to spark some discussion by asking what kind of projects and foci you are currently working on to improve your playing?

    Working on better control of my picking hand. I can shred out little groups of 16th notes like in the “No Remorse” bridge or “I don’t know” intro. Little triplet groups, get a good gallop going? No problem.

    I have zero consistency when hopping strings between double picked 16th notes. Think “Art of Shredding” intro or “Shedding Skin”. Heck even that one double picked bar of the “I don’t know” chorus gets me sometimes.

      I’ve also started using OBS to record myself and my effects chain. I have a ton of “good ideas” saved on my little boss looper but I find that I’ll pull up an idea from a year ago and have no idea which pedals I was using and I end up re-learning the riff by ear.

      Now I just fire up OBS, turn on the laptops shitty little camera, and my hands, sound, and effects are all on record!
