I took a couple days off to give my hands and brain a break from this riff before coming back to uni, but I'm back and ready to go again at it now. Nice, I like this approach. Internalising the rhythm for high speeds is hard without being able to think it and words seem to work well trying get that down. I like the Taplature diagram! To clarify on the quintuplets though, what I'm looking for is 5 evenly spaced notes - 12345 rather than a 123-12. I've seen Guthrie Govan use the word "te-le-mark-et-ing" for internalising quintuplets so I think that's what I'll go with. I'll try and get a new recording at 70bpm tonight with consistent foot tapping to see if taking a break has done me any good.

Here's my sleepy performance this evening at 70bpm which is definitely not half of 95 but my ego got in the way apparently: Is there a convenient way of making videos like this? Right now I'm filming on my phone whilst my audio interface records and then syncing up the two with editing software. my notes: - The first set of quintuplets at 0:20 - 0:22 actually sounds like 5 triplet semiquavers and the lost time is then bled into the next set (this kind of mistake is what I mean by differentiating the groupings) - I accidently mute one note (the tapped fret 15 on the A string) with my right hand shirt sleeve at 0:28 P.S. I wrote the solo. Thanks for the badge :)
