Yes,I agree.When your fingers are anchored,you'll lose speed because the wrist is locked.Circular picking doesn't come over night,however.By practicing your speed and technique the fingers(right)will automatically begin to "gyrate".Steve Vai(Crossroads) has that shit down...because his BASIC technique is on the money!Gyrating doesn't work in all situations though,but when running straight scales it improves accuracy.Sounds like you've been wood-shedding...cool!!
Good Luck

well, you're gonna probably want a case/tuner setup, so that puts you at a $400 or so guitar.
anything by talkamine, seagull, martin, taylor, and ibanez are all nice. check those out.

: i would like to recive some lessons in a english in my email.
: Thank you!

great song been playing this one for about 3 months, just keep your wrist as loose as possible and upstroke with the same speed and force as your downs strokes
you will get it I am sure : )
good day

Oh yeah,... the link

: I discovered this guy on one of the DT forums (john petrucci's I think): Chris Brooks. He's got killer audio samples that remind me of DT, Vinnie Moore and Vai. Sick chops, but even more impressive is his phrasing, tone and feel. Highly Recommended! I ordered his CD "THE MASTER PLAN" which comes out next week. If you like his influences I'm pretty sure you'd like this too.

: If you're in a hurry, download the samples CRYPTICA, FUNKSION, and AXIOM.

: Just bought an Ibanez RG series guitar at my local pawn shop and I have no idea how to tell what model# it is, for example 550 or whatever. Please Help!!!

start at ibanez.com
see if it is pictured there

If your RG has two humbuckers, and a Floyd Roselow prfile double locking tremelo then it is probably a 320, if it has all that plus a single pickup inbetween the two humbuckers i think it would be a 520 or 540

TEACHER, TEACHER, TEACHER, TEACHER.

: Ok, I know that there are tons of great guitarists out
: there (some of them on this site, right? hehhehe...),
: but what taught you better, an actual teacher or did you
: teach yourselves? Internet vs. Teacher......?

the thing is, a teacher is nice because you have that human interaction, plus, he/she can prevent you from developing bad habits

hey, madman----don't rely on the internet to teach you anything--learning is by doing, and doing with other human beings is the best way to learn!! i consider myself self taught, but not without human interaction. the thing is, you need to learn the basics, and then feed your brain by listening to recordings and playing along with other musicians. yes, you can gain knowledge from the net,but--the best way to learn is to jam with someone who is better than you are!! we all know someone who knows more than we---tap into it!! and most towns that i've played in all have bars that feature open jam nights!! listen, ---you have your guitar idols, you have the c.d.'s--sit down with your guitar and try to learn the stuff. if you have an ear you will pick it up in time. time is the key word---lot's of practice----jam on!!!!

I'm also looking for tabs of this cool song. I'm a beginner and don't know where to look for.

: Does anyone know what Zach Wylde is doing now. Is he still playing?

yes.

Zakk just finished the new Ozzy cd, and released his own new "Black Label Society" cd. Gibson made a signature series Les Paul Custom available to the public.. White and Black bullseye.
