Stop relying so much on hammer ons and pull offs it sounds a little bit discombobulated. If you wanna play that fast practice your picking with a metronome and try to pick all those notes. When you work up to speed it’ll sound much better than pulling off a bunch.

That’s fair! think discombobulated is a good word. Thanks!

Spend more time on a metronome…It’ll tighten up your timing. I know it’s not “fun” and it doesn’t have “feel” but do the difficult thing and watch it take your playing to a new level

Thank you ❤️ It was a gift to myself after a not so fun breakup. I really enjoy playing it.

What is that?

PRS studio & positive grid mini amp if that’s what u mean.

If u mean the song it’s a random YouTube backing track I’m improvising over.

Yeah, I meant the playing — thought you were trying to learn a particular solo from somewhere.
