Trying to practice the volcano sequence with some intention. I can definitely play it cleaner when I slow down. But from what I understand, practicing at that comfortable speed it’s not the best way to get it faster!

Thank you for the response. What do you mean by making the escape motion more vertical?

Well, I’ve made improvements over the last few months. I still feel like I’m getting sloppy on the D A and E strings.

Exploring tracking using DSX and usx

This is kind of a new technique critique- unrelated to the PG lick; I was listening to Eric Gales and JoBo and I’m back on a cascade kick. While working through the legato turnaround video I can’t see what your left hand is doing. Also, as I’m watching my video I’m realizing my technique is a jumbled amalgam of DSX, DBx?, and even fingerpicking at times. Not to say that this is bad- it adds variety. But- I can’t seem to track from the higher strings to the lower strings vertically- a hallmark of the cascade technique- whiteout it getting ensnarled.

After watching some Joe Bonamassa, I’m back on a cascade kick! I’m stuck at the Lagato turnaround exercise, trying to clean it up. I’m not really sure the fingering you’re using in the video. Here’s my attempt to work it out and it definitely needs cleaning up. Should I slow it down to try and get the notes right?

Nothing too informative - just some feedback I got from the man himself a few years ago.

An observation on how the noise of swiping might go away legato playing… somehow the notes before the 2wps motion effect how I end up crossing strings!

My goal is smooth flowing pentatonics like The Eric’s- Johnson and Gales! And I’ve been trying for years – but can’t seem to clean up the slop- particularly when string tracking from the D to A to E strings
