I'm doing this etude with the metronome n 2 and 4 while trying to stay as relaxed as possible: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/content.php?225-Picking-Etude-Lesson-3-String-Skipping-Etude
Smoke on the water solo.

Minor scales
Here's my take on the "Smoke on The Water" solo

It's a lot of fun to play, Mark actually helped me out with the fast picked part 'cos I wasn't quite getting it smooth. When I recorded it, I'd taken the whammy off my Strat so didn't do the little dive..and couldn't be bothered to fix it.
I'm mostly working on metronome drills still..I have a lot of years to catch up.
Oh, and I had a go at "Highway Star" too..one of my favourite solo's ever:

Nice chops man! :56 on the Highway Star solo… that's where I always throw in the towel, lol. messedup0
