Stop lying  No just kidding. But it was very sloppy, I think you deserve the nick name "Slopernate Picking". Too bad it's taken  Just clean it up a bit, slow it down and relax. No need to stress you're only 15(?). |

LOL , I didn't mean stressed like that OMG haha. I mean take it easy with the guitar playing, don't force yourself to play fast before you can play slow, it's like Paul Gilbert says, playing fast without being able to play it slow is like pressing the gas when you can't steer.
In this case the ignition is really bad also since your pickinghand is inconsistent and just very sloppy.

That was sloppy. Start out slow, and lower the gain.

no, really. it's like fast sloppy chromatics. and do you know how hard it is to be sloppy at chromatics. i can't even explain. -actually, it can be extremely hard to play a chromatic scale on guitar in time and with good articulation... Since you have such confidence, I would like to see you post a clip of you playing a very simple 1-2-3-4 type line (any will do)... post at various tempos... (16th notes): 50, 100, 125... just these 3 in time would be allready good... Playing in time is harder than most young players think it is, with the chromatic scale (or any 4 notes per string)... you usually end up fretting 3 and picking 4 or picking 7 and fretting 4 etc... lots of synch problems... Just showing control at 50 bpm to say 125 is allready good I think... |

Well it depends on the speed but most players after at MOST a couple years of playing should pretty easily manage 16th note chromatics @ 125bpm.
I can't watch Travis' vid so i don't know how bad or even how fast he's attempting, but if it's 'only' 125bpm & is sloppy then that is pretty poor IMO.
The timing issue is normally down to the fact that alot of starting guitarists practice sans-metronome so playing with a metronome for a sufficient amount per day will help your timing Travis.
Also, i'd suggest at first to x the tempo by 4 whilst playing 1 note per beat to get used to it and train the fingers.
That means for example, instead of playing 4 notes per beat @ 50bpm, play 1 note per beat @ 250bpm- this way the note should be ON the beep/click.
Do that for a few weeks using the 24 permutations (alt picking them) and then do the 2bpm increase rule and bring the tempo back down to 50bpm (16th notes now obviously).
Then "Flight of the Bumblebee" @ 195bpm will be the target.

Im actually saying I find most players that think they can play at 125 bpm usually cant...
Most players cant hear themselves for what they are...

True, but the level of a player after 2 years should be at least playing 16th Note chromatics @ 125bpm alt picked.
I mean, that is piss-easy, there's no excuse for not being able to if you practice a decent amount per day.
Having said that, alot of people don't know what to look out for or practice with a metronome and those people turn into the Fareri, Della Vega, Schauss & Hatcher's of the guitar world.
Those who know what to look out for and improve on (even from an early stage in guitar playing) turn into the good players.
Travis is only 15 so he has alot of time still.
