    A transcription and analysis of that last solo in your 'Styles' video would be great. Or, perhaps a bigger task, a complete breakdown of one of your instrumental pieces - explaing the process you went through in composing it...? It's not self indulgent if someone else asks for it

    I'm always fascinated by how other people compose and the processes they go through in the composing.

    It sounds good to me...I will work on one of the two things...maybe both. I already have a lot of that material transcribed.
    I'll have something soon.

    Of course, that' s a really cool tool to use...it's definitely a subject that I'd like to talk about in one of the next columns.
    Thanks for the idea.

    Hi Francesco !

    Now a question that is more on of the beginner level.. however..
    I play the guitar for several years now, but still i have a problem with playing things more or less "fast".
    I'm practice quite a lot and alway with a metronome and all these stuff but at a limit by sixteenth notes by 100 bpm I just can't get ahead.
    I know there are lots of different things i have to pay attention to, like the way i hold my hands, how much i depart my fingers from the board and so on. ( Is "depart" the right term ? ..beats me)
    Therefore i have worked on theses aspects but I'm still not able to play any faster than before, in my point of view.
    So can just name a few things from which you think are very important for playing fast or some points which are often forgotten ?
    Thanks a lot.

    When working with Holdsworthian style Legato, do you think it is better to press down a bit harder for a stronger tone? I bet if I had a maple neck guitar I wouldn't need to ask this lol
