What about this is Chopin related? Maybe that clever modulation? Other than that I don’t hear much Chopin-style and honestly a lot more Yngwie.

There isn't a single day I don't get amazed by Becker's composing. What a legend. A true guitar legend.

Absurdly beautiful to see something like that, also I can believe you keep sending videos regularly since, come on, that's not an easy song. I really love Cacophony - Desert Island solo, Go Off! And Temple of the Absurd, just a suggestion in case you need one. And keep rocking! Wish to see some music of your own too, you must have made some beautiful pieces.

Hi. In some passages your picking hand thumb is always bent. In others, it's straight and very relaxed. Is there a rule (of thumb, lol) for switching between both techniques ?

@ClassicSoloSpotlight

Жыл бұрын

Good question. You're correct, my picking posture changes depending on the song, style and what sound I'm going for. The flat thumb you mention is what I call "parallel picking" (i.e parallel to the string) and it creates a very clean, creamy attack tone. Several of last years' videos contain parallel picking. I love that sound, but it doesnt work on everything. Bent/angled thumb is my "standard" angled posture (i.e. Paul Gilbert) which gives you the "normal" aggressive attack so common in metal. Bent/angled thumb also sets me up nicely for circular picking on the super fast stuff, which you'll see in most of the newer videos. In total I use about 3 or 4 different approaches depending on the style and what the parts need. Maybe I should do a video to compare and contrast the different picking approaches.

@@ClassicSoloSpotlight A video demonstrating the various picking approaches would be really nice. I also find myself using various picking methods, however for me it's never a choice of style but absolute necessity. Of course style also factors in (I would eliminate a technique that prevents me from achieving palm muting when palm muting is required), but mostly I have to pick differently to even hit the strings. Some picking hand positions work great on certain string grouping(s) but the same technique can't land a single note on a different string grouping and I must somewhat reconfigure to activate different muscles and give myself a chance to even play the new string groupings. So any insight on how it works for you, would be really nice. Thanks for replying !

What strat is that, is it just a normal one with small frets?, idk if I should get an Ibanez or strat for shred and lead but I like the single coils

@ClassicSoloSpotlight

Жыл бұрын

Its my own frankenstein parts strat. The frets are not small but medium, it's an older US standard neck. If you want left hand comfort and ergonomics I would say find a strat with a "modern C" 9.5" neck. It truly plays like butter.

Hey what are the make and model of the fret wire on your strat? Looks jumbo. Stew Mac? What is the gauge???

It's a bone stock USA Standard neck from 2007-2009 or so. I'm guessing medium jumbo, but check whatever specs Fender used during those years. Definitely not jumbo.
