Description

Lesson Volcano
I’ve been working my way through the early Volcano Seminar to help my playing, but I feel the faster I get, the sloppier my technique gets. Also thrown in for reference is a faster solo “tag” that I wrote in my band that seems to come out effortlessly. I’ve used a similar pattern multiple times in my playing also. I’m pretty sure that I’m using the same grip in both examples, but I am still new to CTC, and maybe the different angles haven’t stuck yet. I understand that the technique you use dictates your playing choices as well, so perhaps I’m not using the correct technique. Also, I threw in my approach to down-picked power chords, which may be a different picking technique also. This speed is comfortable to me.
