Guitar improv practice. I've been trying to make better use of the whole fretboard, and I think I'm making some progress in that regard.

The backing track is by YT Jam Tracks, and they make awesome backing tracks for practice. The one I used is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkuQ...

I've been working on guitar improv to get more melodic and expressive. I'm not there yet, but I'm hearing moments where I'm making progress (clip attached). Guitar is a massive undertaking, but I find even small improvements rewarding.

John Petrucci is one of the best guitar players around, and he's well known for his fast, technical playing. But my favorite stuff of his is when he gets melodic and expressive, like this part I recorded myself playing along to from Liquid Tension Experiment's "View from the Mountaintop."

+R Sol impossible dust route using jump cancel j.D that I use, both for corner and midscreen variants. I also compared it to the more commonly used CLSW impossible dust route. #ACPR_SO

Some of the +R Sol 5D routes I do, inspired by the #Reload routes, recorded here for posterity. Includes mid-weight, light-weight, and heavy-weight variants, for both mid-screen and corner versions. Note that on mid and light weights I do j.D for damage, but j.H is more stable. #ACPR_SO

More guitar improv practice. I kind of like how I ended this one. Usually by the end of an improv session, I feel like I'm out of ideas, so this feels like progress.

Yeah, I've got the blues. Because, y'know, politics.

Guitar improv practice. I've still got a long way to go, but I am seeing some improvements.

It's rare disease day, so I decided to upload a video of me playing a guitar with a zebrawood top using a short chord progression I wrote. It's not much, but any little bit to raise awareness helps.

I've been working on my improv skills on guitar. When I listen back to what I played, I'm still hearing a lot that makes me cringe, but I'm also starting to hear stuff like this that I'm somewhat happy with. So, improvement, I guess.

Finally getting around to documenting this. Kliff's standing hurtbox is so short that, according to my testing, Sol's BR is even if Kliff instant blocks it standing.

For reference, most character can punish BR if they IB it standing.
