Muris Varajic5th June 2009Thanks Alex.
Alexiaden935th June 2009Wow ! It sounds like every single note is played with legato, making it super smooth ! Beautiful and really fast playing, Muris !
- Muris Varajic23rd April 2009
Cheers Canis.
Canis22nd April 2009Awesomeness wrapped in a massive amount of "whoa"!
You're the man when it comes to playing both melodic AND fast! I'll learn a lot from this one ^^- Muris Varajic13th November 2008
Yeah,tempo and note value doesn't tell a lot,
note's choice is what makes music interesting. 
mhskeide13th November 2008I`m so close, but still so far away. Can play it clean at 110, can barely take the speed at 120, but 130 feels so out of reach:P
I can for a short period master 1/16 notes at 195 bpm which is the same, but if I`m supposed to actually play something musical too it sounds like crap:P- Muris Varajic12th March 2008
Thanks guys!
Nick Kellie11th March 2008great lesson Muris! and great for building technique and stamina.
Ben N23rd February 2008thats a great lesson!! Muris your technique
is amazing!!- Muris Varajic12th January 2008
It can be done even faster I believe but not by me.
Thanks tho!
Jad Diab11th January 2008You can play 16th triplets at 180 bpm !! wow man you're not human !!! that's so impressionating !!
cool
Joe Kataldo11th January 2008good Job Man
- Muris Varajic11th January 2008
I can play them at 180bpm too but that's not the point here
First slowly,to get better articulation of notes,groups etc.
If you start it too fast you might be sloppy without even noticing,
it'd sound like some sort of shred but not steady and stable. - Jad Diab11th January 2008
Really cool lesson, 16th triplets are pretty fast ... how can you do them with 130 bpm !!
i tryed with 110 bpm it was good but not really clean, do you have any advices for playing cleaner, i think i should slow the tempo to work cleaner, but i m confused, should i try to play even faster to improve in speed and then it will be easy to me to play with 110 bpm, or should i slow the tempo ?
thanks - Muris Varajic24th December 2007
16th means 4 notes per beat,16th triplets are 6 notes per beat,3+3.
Check out Andrew's theory lessons,it's all there 
Jaz24th December 2007what are 16ths and 16th triplets?
- Muris Varajic14th November 2007
Thanks but maybe it me that sucks the most
- guitarmasterwannabe14th November 2007
you are just too good ..its impossible for regular human to play like you or maybe i suck big time hehe
- Muris Varajic14th November 2007
I'm not?

There's GP file and tab bellow every slow video.
If that's what you mean?? 
John In Socal7th November 2007Is tab not available for this lesson ? I get a 404 not found when clicking on the tab link.

That's great Jason!
You see,every hard worker must feel pain here and there during practicing
but results won't be missing for sure!
leedbreak13th October 2007Learned it that first weekend. But set it aside for my Pavel Alt 4 challenge. But I am back on it now and it is really cool how it seems to build strength so fast. After about 30 minutes my arm muscles really started to hurt but I keep going and it does not hurt at all now after about another hour. Really teaches accuracy. I will spend the weekend on this one now, very motivating. :-)
- Muris Varajic29th September 2007
Great,looking forward to hear you playing it too!!
- leedbreak29th September 2007
Ok, muris. I now start the learning of this one. Should be a fun weekend 10.24PM US CDT. Day one will be a short night.
;-) - Muris Varajic13th September 2007
This one is made from pieces of woods,not from parts and it's fully custom .
But there are many sites on net where you can order specific parts.
I'm not sure of the names,google it a bit and you'll find many of them I believe. 
christian13th September 2007Were do you find the parts you need to build a guitar, I am interested in doing so, and yours looks pretty awsome, nice lesson by the way

Hi GMC and welcome to my 2nd Alternate Picking Lesson!!
As we did in first lesson,we'll again stick to time changing(16th and 16th triplets).
This time I putted a bit easier shapes,one scale on just 2 strings(D and G)
and the same note pattern played in 3 different ways.
First is in 16th,second is in 16th triplets and third one combines these two rhythmic values.
Pattern is in all 7 positions/boxes and it's just another way to learn them better:).
2nd Alternate Picking Lesson contains:
-Alternate Picking
-G major scale in 7 boxes on D and G strings
-Switching between 16th and 16th triplets.
Have fun!!
