How do I findd you on soundcloud
Hey James! Big fan of yours! Love your technique and approach to phrasing! I was wondering what strings and picks you use? Thanks
Thanks man! That really means a lot :-) I use Daddario 10-46 and have recently changed the picks I use :-) I originally used Dunlop Jazz iii's and then changed to Dunlop Ultex Sharp :-) I'm currently using Dunlop Tortex 1.14
Thanks
Thanks
i really like your technique dude,and your picking is nice and clean ,how did you practice it and how do you hold a pick etc. thanks , ny help is appreciated buddy,im having some trouble,especially with synchronisation with the left and right hands
Hey thankyou :-) I spent a lot of time on my picking with by finding fast licks that used alternative picking economy etc... I played to a metronome and slowly sped up! A good way to make sure your picking is clean is to practice on the clean channel and then add gain. In terms of synchronizing your left and right hand is pretty simple to. Just start slow and speed up :-) You'll find if you slowly speed up with a metronome it won't be as hard as trying to play fast straight away. You will also find it a lot cleaner :-)

I used to practice a couple of hours a day but now it varies due to a levels and other things :-)

I've liked your page :-)
do you wanna buy a behringer tube overdrive for 10 - 15 quid and what are your opinions on behringer
I'm ok thanks! I've never actually used behringer pedals before but other equipment by them seem to be good quality :-)
6/8 time signature. Try it? Nightmare.
6/8 has a nice feel in my opinion! 7/8 is the nightmare! ;-)
What would be your ultimate guitar and what pick ups would you choose to be fitted?
To be honest my dream is pretty much what I have now :-) My ML2 gives me everything I need! I have the volume knob close for swells, the set neck for sustain, humbuckers that split, a fast neck and big fret for bends! And the stock pickups are great!

a jacket

a sandwich
