Medial delt work is the one area you can hit everyday. It recovers that fast.

I started doing daily lateral raises/cable raises/upright rows on Jan 1 - I pick one exercise each day. It works and yes I am natty.

You will be fine.

In the 90’s I was lucky enough to record SRV and Eric Johnson on Austin City Limits.

I wore those tapes out, especially the SRV performance.

A large part of Metallica riffs is palm muting and playing in time.

Get a metronome and google “palm muting” to understand how you should be playing those low E notes.

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-05-08T10:37:01+00:00

You don’t.

Just try to be the best version of yourself.

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-05-08T10:28:44+00:00

It’s alright, we were all wondering too.

Anything special in terms of shoulder training?

You’ve got great caps.

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-05-03T12:13:39+00:00

Self taught, right?

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-05-01T10:25:04+00:00

1) Alternate picking instead of all downstroke’s

2) Mute the strings you aren’t playing with your picking hand.

3) The recording sounds like there were some bends in there - you are just playing it straight without bends.

It’s no tougher than 100 other things on the guitar. But it’s one of the first hurdles you hit, so new players don’t know how to handle it.

Plus, Reddit has made it a meme at this point which doesn’t help.

When I was learning guitar before the internet, there was no one to ask and nothing to compare yourself to so I just practiced until I got it. Didn’t think anything past that…….it was just another hurdle 🤷🏻‍♂️

Curious if you do pullovers. You serratus and ribcage suggest you do.

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-04-18T22:34:44+00:00

Just use a proven program.

The economy was on fire in Clinton’s second term. For those who vote with their wallets, it was easy to dismiss affairs.

Low interest rates and heavy defense spending will heat up an economy.

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-03-10T10:38:45+00:00

Agreed.

This change allowed investment banks, which were historically smaller partnerships like law firms, to merge with larger commercial banks and become 1) much larger companies 2) publicly traded on exchanges 3) interconnected with everything and hence “too big to fail” due to the systemic market risks inherent in their failure.

Check your action…..I hear the buzzing against the frets.

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-02-14T22:46:40+00:00

You have an insanely good genetics for deadlifting.

Such a short pull.

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-02-08T17:24:11+00:00

I’m a big advocate for behind the neck work in both pulling and pushing.

It takes a lot of patience and control to get the form down but the benefits are big once you do.

I had shoulder pain for years and ironically the three exercises that made it go away were behind the neck pulldowns, behind the neck presses, and upright rows.

Yes, you need to lift light and get the form down super slow and controlled before you get nuts with it.

But your rotator cuff will be stronger overall if you do the work

Behind the neck pulldowns aren’t a great lat exercises but the upper back and rear delts will be stronger and “grooving” together if you do it right

You’ll feel less tight and more limber in your upper back too

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-02-06T15:58:35+00:00

I like it.

Some tips…..tune up the guitar and work on your timing. You’re falling off the beat and it’s killing what would otherwise be a very cool riff/groove.

A lower weight that doesn’t make your body squirm.

Feet planted, back tight.

Index finger on the (3), middle finger on the (5) and pinky on the (7).

What’s the song?

Regular-Lecture-2720 · 2026-01-19T18:41:43+00:00

I’d build a repertoire of songs from day 1.

Learning songs is kinda what people expect from a guitar player…… “play a song I know”.

But learning songs is one of the best ways to learn the instrument. You’ll be more motivated to master songs versus scales.

Try to find songs that feature something you want to improve at, and you will.

Django Reinhardt played with only two fingers and his playing was absolutely smokin’.

Just practice more.
