Hey vassili, what kind of music do you like?

rock,metal and stuff lah? why ah?

Basically, you should learn Foo Fighters songs. Then Incubus. Then Metallica. Then some songs by Jimmi Hendrix... All these artists have songs that can develop your basic skills & technique...

legato is like u play hundreds of notes but u only pick the strings for few time only..
how is that possible??
u use alot of hammer on and pull off
what is hammer on and pull off?
this one ar hard to explain..maybe u can search on youtube..

but i dont think u need legato yet..
just play songs and your skills will develope by time..

Huhu..seems like many guitar pros here..
good for me to ask a question..bros..how do we do solo actually??let say the rhythm goes like Am Dm G C F Dm and E..so,how do we solo on that part??just "goreng2" by using scales or wut?? thanx sifus!

scale is not the only solution but it solves most of the problem..heheh..
in your case Am Dm G C F Dm and E, u can solo in Am scale or A pentatonic minor..
explore all 5 position of pentatonic..
i believe there's alot of lesson on how to solo online...
search online and u will get a better idea..

hi vassili
sorry i tumpang ur thread

btw good sirs, how to improve speed on sweeping? etc finger placement, hammer-ons, strum movement, tapping
can do but very slow

the only solution is practice lor..
play with metronome..
and start REALLY REALLY slow first..i myself once start with 60bps...
after i felt comfortable with it, i increased the speed to 65...

Yup. Unfortunately there's no shortcut for that...... just constant practice with a metronome.
Even Yngwie started out slow and worked his way up to crazy speeds.
But make sure you DO push yourself, that's the key factor. If you think you can take on 60, try 80, then scale back if it's too fast.

the problem is yngwie's slow is like fast to mortals

Practis as slow as u can, some times sure get bored,

but that the only way to keep your finger to feel conford with the scale

time will make ur finger to move fast,

the key word is dont give up ur training,

Jangan Malas.

to play note to another note fluently.
the means of fluently means not lompat2 from one note to another note, instead u'll hear it like connected from one to another.
staccato is the contrast of it.

imagine legato as the sound of a flute.
imagine staccato as the sound of machine guns.

u use lots of hammer on and pull off. less picking for legato.

you guys gila lah..so pro.. i still cannot find out what scales are! arghhh!!!

i need help determining what power chord this is:
5th string 4th fret and 4th string 7th fret.

anyone please?
