2020-01-28 20:38:34 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys! Had an idea just now to make a video on how to play all 7 modes in 3 note per string format for 7 string guitars. Is that something you all think is a good idea, or too niche considering its for 7 strings?

Check it out guys! Just upgraded my mic using your all’s monthly Patronage. In our new apartment, the level of RF interference is insane, and my old mic was picking it ALL up... I actually recorded all the audio for WW256 using my iPhone in my shirt pocket!!! So clearly, an upgrade was in order, and you all came to the rescue! Can’t wait to try this thing out for you guys this week. Thank you all so much for everything you do!

Need something to get your arm hand fingers wiggling at maximum wiggle speeds?!?! This is what i use to regain my own powers after long periods of inactivity on the guitar! Building speed through the use of speed bursts instead of marathon 16th note sessions is the only way to go. Be sure to use the variations on pages 3 and 4 for maximum results!

Hey loyal Patrons!!!!
This week on WW247, i gave my youtube fans a deep dive look into how to play the Answers intro by Steve Vai, and just for you all, we're going EVEN DEEPLIER!!!! This video has all the same lesson content as the youtube cut, plus tone and technique tips all over the place!
Big thanks to Patron Norman Burt for the suggestion on doing this lesson! You're a man of fine taste!
Hey guys!!! So a little while back i talked about making a new series specifically for super simple riffs/chord progressions that don't necessarily warrant a full deep-dive Weekend Wankshop episode, but still deserve some love and attention! So today, i recorded my first episode of Uncle Ben's Minute Riffs! I'll be making it public in a week or so, but in the meantime, here's the title screen art and super cheesy theme music i wrote for it. Use it as a ringtone or whatever you want!
