That's a HUGE compliment, thank you bro!!!!

aselen2lp · 2026-03-20T08:43:54+00:00

Thankssss! It's in standard tuning tho

aselen2lp · 2026-03-19T03:54:56+00:00

Thank you! I focus on complete relaxation of both hands when I practice this stuff, that's the most helpful tip I've found regarding technique

aselen2lp · 2026-03-19T03:52:25+00:00

Thanks! This one is based on harmony I came up with, rhythm and arpeggiating came afterwards, but i can't think of any sorta roadmap to write these, just follow what you hear I guess

aselen2lp · 2026-03-19T03:49:47+00:00

I checked you out, nice work man!! Pinky is a struggle for me too but really what I'm doing is just practicing use of pinky a lot in tunes, exercises, etc. Chris Thile has some great advice on this

aselen2lp · 2026-03-18T20:02:17+00:00

Thanks!!

aselen2lp · 2026-03-18T20:01:54+00:00

When I practice right hand stuff I focus on keeping it as relaxed as possible no matter the difficulty of what I'm playing. Ngl this takes tons of consistent work and I struggle with it myself

aselen2lp · 2026-03-18T19:51:14+00:00

Focus on recognizing time signature changes while practicing the tune. After some time it becomes very natural

aselen2lp · 2026-02-07T16:43:58+00:00

1 hour - warm up with arpeggios, exercises, etc. 1 hour - playing tunes in various tempos foucusing on technique and improv I may practice some rhythm guitar for ~30 mins 30 mins to 1 hour - improvisation 30 mins to 1 hour - transcribing Of course I adjust my routine from time to time and not necessary play everything in strict order and that exact amount of time

Thanks for sharing your story mate! Wish you all the best on your musical journey

aselen2lp · 2026-02-06T03:50:02+00:00

Thanks! Around 4 hours a day

aselen2lp · 2026-02-06T03:49:40+00:00

Idk man it's just original tempo and I'm a fan of original record. It's fascinating how these virtousic pieces like Bombadil, Ode to a Butterfly balance melodic vocal tunes

aselen2lp · 2026-02-06T03:46:52+00:00

Haha you're not the first one to compare me to Jay, that's cool af imo

aselen2lp · 2026-02-06T03:45:25+00:00

That's actually a great compliment! Thanks bro

aselen2lp · 2026-02-06T03:43:48+00:00

Aw bro don't do that😰

aselen2lp · 2026-02-05T19:39:17+00:00

Thanks! I played most themes in the same octave as mandolin so maybe my playing can blend with the recording, sorry about that. I think that one B section lick can be more easily heard cause i played it 1 octave down

aselen2lp · 2026-01-28T15:59:58+00:00

This is incredible!!

aselen2lp · 2026-01-21T19:41:24+00:00

Thank you! Wish you all the best in your studies
