    Hi Fastfinger.
    Can you tell us how do you think melodies? My melodies sounds ordinary and I dont like them. I just wanna know how to make them quirky, more interesting, angular, weird riffs or melodies?

    Man i’m really thankfull for all your efforts and helping … please keep on doing your best.
    my questions are:
    1. what is a good way to learn guitar well, in other words i’m at a very early stage of my learning journy, what do you advice me to concentrate on?

    2. when i play something slow, I can play it with my muscles relaxed, I usually increase my metronome by 8 beats per mintue sometimes 4, now the more I speed up the more tinsion starts bulding up in my muscles, how can i eliminate that muscle tenstion ???

    Thanx Mr. FastFingres.

    Hi, first of all I really love your website… it’s cool and unique…
    btw, I’m having a hard time on this PERFECT PITCH and RELATIVE PITCH thing… what are your suggestions about this.. and what should I do in order to learn this… I’m kinda got stuck with the lessons of DAVID-Lucas Burge.. I consumed almost all of my time in listening to his seminar… is it really possible to develop perfect pitch…? and my other question is… what should I do in order to develop a RELATIVE PITCH if not PERFECT PITCH… coz I know as a musician… a LISTENING EAR is very important not just the shred picking… furious tapping and sweeping…

    I think I’m skilled technically at guitar after playing it for so long, but when I want to write my own music, I seem to struggle a lot to get something that I like that sounds great.

    How do you approach songwriting, Mr. Fastfinger?

    Chris: Thank you for this. We are talking about tuplets.
    There should be a blog about tuplets and how to practice them in the near future. Very good! In the mean time, here’s some Wikipedia info:

    Ok 7toles… I just transformed a german word into an english one, sorry for that. I meant the thing you do when playing seven notes instead of a quarter or in other words 7 notes per beat, for example the Tap Bad lick or the one hand legato used in the mountain of the tapping dwarfes. I’d like to know how to build such one. But – as stefan wrote – sweeping stuff would be great too.

    Chris: “7-toles patterns” I don’t understand please be more precise. Abd 7 wisdoms of the tone. The ideas shared on this special lesson are the things that will affect Your tone the most. Study the and give each lesson time. Very important: study one by one! You will get it down.

    Stefan: Good, Very good. I will prepare some sweep picking for you. Also how to develop speed and other very important good stuff.

    i love your website man it has so many cool riffs.
    i would love if you could post a lesson or something either on sweep picking or how to develop speed

    or how to learn scales like by patterns or by a formula or by notes and how to use them

    I feel very honoured to be the first one to ask you what i want to know.
    First, how do you create these wow-a-wuubah kick ass 7-toles patterns one cant practise slowly because it falls apart? these are amazing.
    Secondly – i dont understand the 7 wisdoms of tone – would you share your amp setup, the eq and that stuff?
    Thanks for everything i’ve learned from you in all those years i’ve been playing now -
    Chris.
