Spent the good part of this evening playing legato stuff. Tried some 5-notes per string patterns ala Brett Garsed & was sloppy like hell. All this after making sure that: 1) I chose the most comfortable guitar to play in view of neck profile & action (the one you see above, that is) 2) The preferred amp was used 3) Supplementary pedals were in place to increase picking sensitivity 4) Putting 3 picks on standby to keep picking feasibility in check.
But let's not be too harsh on ourselves while exploring stuff beyond our comfort zone. Frustrations & the urge to give up only signal the fact that we wish for improvements & know that we are capable of doing better than the current hiccups.
Hope you people had a good Boxing Day.

been a thick pick user for years (namely jazz III type), lately i'm using thin picks, and wow!
