I tried stretching the first time I ever saw that. My hand has been paralyzed for months. :(

the common thing with TRYING to stretch beyond your reach is you try way to hard, the tension builds to massive proportions, and you cant make it.


Obviously, when you someone who can stretch, you think "man, that fukker has huge hands" in reality, my fingers are small as hell, and i play on a 27" baritone.


what you need to do is stay relaxed, and try to push the boundaries. What i do is try to work out, in my head/brain what my limitations are. I try to find that outer most reach where i can stretch, yet remain comfortable. At that point, you try to push the boundary a little at a time, hold, while remaining calm.

my stretches have started to get ridiculous with this baritone. I recommend it to ANYONE whos a technique whore like me.

for that example, i actually found myself being able to hit the 19th with accuracy, until i remembered that video. Normally i would tap the 20th on a normal sweep exercise, and i felt sheepish for even attempting to make the stretch :lol:

can someone upload the GP tab for "War Within"? i don't have it and mysongbook.com is down

You mean "Wrath Within"?

ups... yes: "Wrath Within"

[QUOTE=Kurrpt]nah nah


its a basic 5 string sweep up to the 15 fret, high e, then to the 19th fret. I COULD stretch it, if i were to use my middle finger on the 15th, index on the 12th, and pinky on the 19th, but i saw a video of a guy tapping the 19th, and i was like "DUH"

That's the wrong arpeggio. It ascends as Cmaj, and descends as Emin.
You can see the way I play it in the powertab I did.

How do you play it? I've never been able to see Alexi's fingers on any videos.

I don't mean what are the notes, I mean position/fingering wise.

Stop, both of you. :angry:
