A returning synner..

[Riku Lainpelto]

Hi,

I don’t know if any of you really remember me It definitely has been a while, 3 years to be exact. I’ve been playing but not very often as life got in the way. I started singing, usually in my car while I’m driving to work because no one can hear me then

Because of the singing I was finally able to learn gunslinger and danger line solos by ear in a martter of hours! I didn’t even have the ability to play those solos couple months ago. So stoked the progress!

Now I’m stuck with the fast part of hail to the king solo. I somewhat got it but not quite there. I feel like there’s maybe something wrong with my technique. ..So I decided to ask for help and any tips from you!

Ps. This forum has changed a lot! So I apologize if I’m doing something wrong here. I feel like I don’t know how to use this forum

Anyways. Here’s the link to my recording:

Hey! Glad you're back. And indeed the forums have changed quite a lot and is still in the work. Just a heads up that a big concentration of the community will now be on the Avenged discord: https://discord.com/channels/864965089969569812/865003768785272852

These forums will stay up for the time being and focus mostly on lesson related topics!

Thanks for the reply and good to know! I guess I’ll have to download the discord then. Never used it before but I’d definitely like to ”get back” to the community. I liked how active these forums, or should I say the users were back then but this is the future I guess. Thanks for the link too.

Hey Riku, Ive also returned around last month, welcome back brother.

Here is the picking pattern and the notes/fingering of the first part of the fast section. The key here is the economy picking and to change left hand position quickly.
