    Very nice playing and I notice you are using the Broderick pick, was that an easy transition to make from traditional provided you used one? Also, I have two Jackson Soloists I love to shreds and am thinking about getting the seven string. Which model are you using? Thanks in advance to my inquisition lol.

  • @EclecticMusicInstitute
    @EclecticMusicInstitute11 күн бұрын

    Thanks mate appreciate it! I used the Broderick pick clip for about 5 years coming from a classical guitar background it felt most natural to me than a pick! Since then however I have transitioned to a regular guitar pick as I found I have more flexibility and angle thus control without the clip… the clip has its advantages of course being able to open the hand for multi finger tapping and traditional finger style but I wasn’t using it for those purposes enough. That one there is a Jeff Loomis SL7 signature model. Check out the Keith Merrow signature 7’s by schecter that’s next on my list!

  • @joshmarksberry2274

    @@EclecticMusicInstitute Thanks for the response. I have always used tradtional picks and cup it when I need free my fingers for tapping or picking. All my Jacksons and Charvels are 6 string. That Jackson of yours is should complete my needs. I haven't played 7 string in a few years. I was always reluctant to make that leap so many years ago. And at that point I had the Loomis vampire Schecter. I moved on from them being the neck profile being so thick other than that though seriously fun and beautiful guitar. Keep up the good work! ;We all know the amount of work those runs involve; Damn near years before I had it up to speed. It's a fun run though once you have it. Peace

    Still have no idea what an interval is.

  • @EclecticMusicInstitute
    @EclecticMusicInstitute13 күн бұрын

    The distance between two notes is the definition of an interval. The names given to those distances are as follows. C-C# is a minor second C-D is a major second C-D# is a minor third C-E is a major third C-F is a perfect 4th C-F# is a diminished 5th C-G is a perfect 5th and so on…

    This is very helpful!... I've seen other videos about finding and memorizing a (root) note all over the fretboard, but I think I haven't seen the idea about practicing (root) note and any interval as you've explained... it'll be cool if you publish more videos about fretboard memorization, thanks!

    You need to do a blindfold pick-drop challenge. Someone drops picks in front of you and you’ve gotta guess the brand, material, shape and thickness. The real challenge is still having all the picks at the end of the challenge.

  • @EclecticMusicInstitute

    Great idea Ash! I think I would go well on material. Brand and thickness would be a challenge but a fun experiment for sure! 15% return rate on the dropped picks perhaps? 🤔 🤣
