you can't blame the guitar, that's why seven string guitars have a bad rap. but many greats have used them for good as well, vai and petrucci for example.


side note: Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth uses a PRS.
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
