Saturday, September 17th, 2005Today I´ve done a very good outside picking lesson for your pricking hand. “Good” in senses of musicality.
It is a classical sounding chord progression.
The hot spots playing this thing at higher paces (180 BPM, 8th notes) to get the chord changes right without lossing a note.
Don´t try to fret the notes with all [...]
Daily Licks 2
Wednesday, September 14th, 2005Today I will show some very interesting arpeggio lick out of the Racer X intrumental song: “Scarified”
I start with the chord progression the arpeggio is based on, it´s in the key of F# minor starting with an D major chord.
It goes like this (audio file)
diminished Chord> – at least 3 notes with flat-thirds as [...]
Mediterranean Evening
Tuesday, July 19th, 2005A pretty powerabsorbing day lies behind me. I was learning for my soon occouring test in Multimedia Law 1 and 2. My empty accumulators need to be refreshed before I can go on with it, so it´s likely a great opportunity to cook a tasty dinner. Fortunately my co-inhabitant and Vice-Cuisine Master was present to [...]
Red Shoe Diaries v0.1
Tuesday, July 19th, 2005After some hard work on songdeveloping (actually I was not that hard working but I hope my bandmates did so) I´m eager to present you the results of our todays rehearsal. The song is based on a chord progression I came up with. It has a nice mellow jazzy feel plus some serious 80s influences [...]

the sax´o´phone, no other instrument has more sexappeal I recognized this fact when playing life very [...]
Bluesy Shred-o-Mania
Friday, July 15th, 2005This song : Blues Mania (mp3, 128kbit, 1,8mb) is taken from the Guitar Techniques Magazin. I must confess it is a total rip off. I have the issue scanned and if you like to have it for studying purposes I can mail it to you.
It is not this hard shown on this Box. It [...]
Former In Flames
Tuesday, July 12th, 2005One of my interpretations of an original In Flames song called :
Bulletride (mp3 128kbit, 4.2mb)
You´ll find the original song on the remarkable In Flames Album :
Clayman.
I think my cover of it turns out pretty good and it is really useful for using it as a backing track to practise the typical [...]
Melting Away
Tuesday, July 12th, 2005I recorded this within 3 hours on a day´s morning in February, it instantly came to my mind. If I had more time I would add bass and drums too.
Above, there is a picture of an Ibanez PGM500 I used one of these to record this clip. Yeah not really, I ´ve lost the [...]
Technical Difficulties
Sunday, July 10th, 2005I love this song. The first time I listened to it I just wanted to play it too, unfortunately it was so damn difficult to play. It took me about 1 and a half year to improve my technique so far to be partly able to play the song. Decide yourself if I was [...]
First Song Entry
Sunday, July 10th, 2005I wrote this song while back in march/april last year, and oftentimes I´ve got complaints about it regarding the various themes occuring in one song. Some of my friends yelled for instance : ” Man, Paul you could have done a couple of songs out of this one, someone need to explain you [...]
