[Rock Chalk]

Yeah, and there's probably too much gain overall, but I'd never say that to Satch's face.
He's earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants!

If shredding is akin to cars, then here's my (proper) version (with "go faster" stripes):

"Go faster stripes"

It's a scientific fact that stripes and stickers make your vehicle (whatever it may be) 6% faster.

As cool as American muscle cars are they actually illustrate the point I was making. They are fast by putting a huge engine in not thinking too hard about weight, handling and aerodynamics not really like the vast majority of European ones .

The common thread with all the greats is that they are melodic despite playing a gazillion notes.

Michael Romeo has got to be the smoothest player alive.




When I was younger I was into Vai, Satriani, Vinnie Moore, Paul Gilbert, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman...all that good stuff. I had way better chops back then when I had time (and above all, will!) to woodshed, but that kind of stuff requires constant maintenance so I can't do it anymore.

Yup. Like any form of fitness. If we don't exercise it religiously it is not staying with us.

I am not as proficient as I was in my 20s. I could give a fuck less, though, because there
are an whole host of other areas of being a musician where I am much more proficient.

Maybe.

Same, for the past 5-10 years I’ve been much more interested in learning more harmonization techniques than gaining more speed.

I kind of regret all the hours I wasted building speed when I was younger. They would have been better spent learning other aspects of playing.

Just practice three notes per string modes of the major scale in G and you will be able to play most 80s shred.
