Learning to Surf...with the Alien...

Never thought I would ever be able to do this, but here is that legato run at 100%.  :laughing7:

Now to actually try to learn the rest of the song!

I thought I'd post this as it might be useful to folks on practicing difficult stuff in general.

Awesome Doc! I'm so impressed. You are a true musician and artist. A fine example for the rest of us usually thinking, "nah, can't be done".
Bravo!  :eek:ccasion14: :icon_thumright: :headbang: :rock-on:

Thanks for your tips, John.  They helped a lot.  That's a great video by Morse.  I had not seen that one before.  But yes, isolate the problem area and focus efforts on that, then include it into the broader context to work on the transition in, through, and out of the problem are.  Another great tip.

You are too kind.  Thank you. 

I'm not sure about a "true musician and artist," but I agree with this being an example of being able to surprise one's self with what is actually possible.  :laughing7:
 
Needs work, but progress, nonetheless.  Wah pedals and funny faces go together.  :laughing7:

Also, legato lick in context.  Never thought I would be able to do it.  :eek:ccasion14:

Super awesome!

Funny faces? Just part of the whole pose-ing part on stage. Goes great with headbanging and leather trousers  :icon_biggrin:

Thank you, Kevin.

On a different note, I had to Google "Pizza vs. Skeletons."  There's a piece of pop culture that I had no idea existed!  :laughing7:

Ha!  Thanks!


I'm really liking TonyFlyingSquirrel's quote:  "Bite off more than you can chew, and start chewing."  :laughing7:

Actually, that's a new one on me, too. It showed up immediately following your video clip, and I just grabbed it because of the face - he looks astounded, and I thought the image was apropos.  :icon_biggrin:
