to bad I dont live in Florida, Dragon Force is coming in Jan for a concert.

If youy wanna keep up with those bass drum notes, your gonna have to float your pedals, use the heel plate cuz you can`t "step" them out, and your foot travel will be about an inch, the lighter you try to do it, the faster you`ll be able to go !!

If you wanna keep up with the ax play`n, same thing, pick between index and thumb, the other three have to extend up or you`ll hit strings, very small and very lightly with that hand and the lighter you try to play, the faster you can go. With the other hand, you wanna press hard and near the bars for the squeeling and very lightly with the note fingers. No special effects here, eveything will sound the same wheather you plug the guitar in or not, you just wont be able to audibly hear everything going on with the strings, but the amp. will !!

It takes practice, but you need to want to do it or you`ll give up. I played more speed metal than anything back in the day !!

It`s not as hard as it looks, but you need alot, alot, alot of time to get used to it, and that`s what most people don`t have !!
