How good am I / How good you are compare to me

well, your way isn't wrong, it's just the classical way. And actually, it's quite good while doing some economy picking licks.

Few! I just read the whole thred, I couldent get away from it, it is intresting reading. But I think the most important thing the has been said is that its the Heart and soul and feeling that you can put into your playing that counts. But if you like to play the fast stuff then carry on your way. Cause it does kick ass, but I warn you from my experience some people just find the really fast stuff annoying. I suppose they like to be able to pick the tune out (rather than it just going straight over their heads at like 200 BPM).
By the way I tried lerning the Mr Big song "Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little boy" But got totaly stuck at the solo, and can anyone help me with this. Its the fast position changing as well as the very fast note runs that totaly stumps me! I know its in the Aolien mode also.

Cheers Guys (and girls if there are any reading this??)

I am going to try and post some music that I have now. I did a rendidtion of "somewere over the rainbow" (similer to the one thats been floating around the internet that is always under somone eleses name so i dont know who played it?? Jimi hendrix, steve vai, yngwie, john petrruci?? i dont know.

Dude, I think the solo with that song is the one where they play with an electric drill, that Paul GILBERT had custom made with 3 picks at the end of it.

Yeah, Vai did Over the Rainbow

Well, if you see the speed at which I'm playing the stuff, you don't really need sustain, but I tap exactly like I would for a normal note...

you then move your thimble across the string, without changing the pitch, much like you would use a bow...

Hmmmmm... try with another thimble, you have to go back and forth real fast (much like tremolo picking)

My mom was quite surprised when I started looking through her stuff "don't you have a bigger thimble???"
