Ooh! Nice. I'll have a look at your shredding lessons. Have to give a quick mention to this extract from the description/commentary:

"First, it is important to realize that playing fast - or "shredding" - should not be merely a flailing, spastic, haphazard jumble of notes or "stuff" you play as fast as you can. "

Lol. That almost sums up my technique.

I also received good news today. We're getting that detached house way out on a reasonably isolated region on the West coast of Scotland. There are some neighbours, but I should be able to bring the noise without upsetting anyone (except the dog). Not moving until June, but hopefully I can pick up a Katana or a Code soon after. I'd be interested to hear your take on each, if you can.

For the immediate future I'm going to step away from the EJ lessons. They're holding me back, I think and I'd like to get back to learning things at a better pace.
