All 6 strings

Yeap today i have begun playing 6 string arpeggios. I managed to get the hang of it after like an hour or so of it. Also have tuned the guitar back to Eb, this time its staying that way. I find the thick strings way waaay too loose to play 6 string arpeggios in D. Its necessary.

Not really a prob my fingers have gotten stronger and Eb actually feels better on the picking hand,since i employ a smoother and lighter touch now. Stiff strings are indeed dandy xD.

Speaking of strings it looks like my current set is wearing down finally. Its making odd high frequency noises and i cant hold on to a note without this buzzing getting in the way almost completely. oh well, its been a while anyways. In my electric guitar playing lifetime this would be the third string set id be buying. And already i am playing 6 string arpeggios at moderate speed and shredding the 3s. Cant say im not pleased with these results ^_^.

Im gonna master my current picking style. Its called economy picking. Kinda like a morphing of sweep picking used for arpeggios and alternate picking used for shredding. Economy picking is the one and only right hand picking technique one would ever need to actually learn. Rhythm playing in my opinion is something that comes to someone naturally. Master economy picking and shredding suddenly wont look like its something only a gifted few can hope to do. My picking is not perfect just yet. Sure i do sweep pick when changing strings but not all the time, my picking hand is "impatient" and goes to the right position faster than the left hand and i end up doing a upstroke when i move down a string or vice versa. Well i have a lifetime left to perfect it but right now my speed is improving on a daily basis and that's more than enough for me xD.

On other things found out how jeff loomis and buckethead gets their rather techno like guitar tone in some of their solos. A synthesizer. And guitar rig has a fairly simple yet capable one O_O. Ive only begun tweaking with it but its one fun toy xD
