todownload the tab and the backing track click here www.theodoreziras.com Web Site www.theodoreziras.com My Space www.myspace.com Theodore Ziras-Lick of the Week 88: How to play Faster Part3 – Sextuplets (Alternate Picking) Lesson Description: This is a great Sextuplets work out for your picking hand. Be careful while putting your palm near the edge of the strings in you bridge. It doesn’t matter if your guitar has a “Floyd Rose” type tremolo or fixed bridge. Try to play with the minimum of movement, this is the safest way to play fast and precise Follow the tab below. Don’t forget, always practice with a metronome. There is no point to play fast and sloppy. For any queries don’t hesitate to ask me personally at info@theodoreziras.com

    @tziras when you say Be careful while putting your palm near the edge of the strings in you bridge.
    It doesn’t matter if your guitar has a “Floyd Rose” type tremolo or fixed bridge. do you mean that i should not be resting my hand on the bridge or to be careful while doing so…i have a floyd rose

    @tziras How about Zakk Wylde? He seems to be picking quite hard even when going fast…

    Hey Ziras, I have a question…if I’m stuck on a speed for weeks without being able to improve, should I just keep at it or lower the speed and gradually increase it in order for my picking hand to be more relaxed?

    Hey Ziras, I tried to download the tab and audio for this on your website, but when i click on open i just get a window that pops up that says application not found. This happens with a few of those lessons but not all. Is it just my computer or is there a problem on the site?
