    Even though I know my scale modes in single positions I use this same method when playing any fast picking run to avoid pick slanting issues. Works great for arpeggios as well. Nice work Trey. Less thinkin’ more pickin’.

    Bro please do a review on that Cort Kx507ms & compare it to the kx500ms u reviewed a ways back...... I'm not saying use both guitars but u can demo this new updated kx507ms & let us all mo if it is worth the extra $100 bucks.... since both of these guitars are still on the market ( Kx500ms $750 & Kx507ms $850 ) its not just different pickups in the kx507ms that is different it has a mahogany body not ash like the Kx500ms & as u mentioned the parallel fret is in a different spot now & they moved the switches around. Please do a video review man I am looking to buy 1 & unless I see a video with good reasons not to get the Kx507ms ( example- just buy the Kx500ms & swap in the fishman pick ups ... see 1 has a Ash body & 1 has a mahogany body ) I would be the type of viewer that would greatly benefit from the opinion of u being a expert.... also did they slim down the neck? I remember in the last review ( Kx500ms) that the neck was a bit thick?

    • @JeighNeither

      Practice. Seriously. Find a good video that teaches sweeping mechanics step-by-step and then just use the top three strings of the 4th pentatonic box (the C minor shape) & grind the fuck out of that thing until you can do it flawlessly, and then apply that to literally just about anything. Once you get it, you'll start figuring out what can and can't be swept, although what can't be swept is usually only limited by your imagination. Good luck!

    When playing in drop tunings do you still call the notes what they would be in standard? This is an E scale but in reality that's E in standard but if your in drop G then it wouldn't be. Just curious.

    • @treyxaviermusic
      @treyxaviermusic  2 місяці тому

      So there's something called "concert pitch" which is the actual note you're hearing, and then there's how you as the player is thinking of it, which is called "written pitch" even if it's not written per se. This is so musicians who play a transposing instrument, like Bb clarinet, don't have to do any mental transposition while sight reading. When you tune the guitar differently, you're transposing the pitches, but you can still think of them as the same notes (written pitch) so you don't have to re-learn them all in every different tuning. The challenge comes when you're communicating with other instruments, like a pianist, who always plays concert pitch - you'll have to ALSO use concert pitch when you're talking, otherwise everything will be off.

      @treyxaviermusic thanks for the reply that makes tons of sense. After about 13 years of playing metal music and quite honestly just wondering forward I'm starting to learn some music theory. I'm sure it's a pain for everyone but man is it a pain when it's geared towards beginners. I'm no shred master but still the slog is real
