@Curryb0ii 2. People are often taught to pick a string, whereby the finger first rests on the string, then they pick through it. If this is you, instead start the pick movement from in front of the string, not touching it, and immediately play through it. so finger contact is more fleeting

[Steve Gilson @SixStringsTV]

@Curryb0ii Two possible solutions, 1. Nodes are set up more easily at certain positions eg. You can play the harmonic easily touching the 12th fret, but 13th or 14th frets are more likely to mute, so experiment with picking hand position up and down the string.

[Steve Gilson @SixStringsTV]

@Curryb0ii It's a problem that pick player get too. Your finger or pick comes into contact with the string and sets up a node (much like touching the string at the 12th fret, for harmonics). In fact pick players have it worse because the hard surface of the pick can behave like a fret too.

@TkJamTracks I'm looking to do some guitar lessons covering improvising over the Altered Scale. I see you've created some great backing tracks. Do you mind me using them in my videos? (I'll attribute and link to them so people can visit your content to use them too).

Ear Training For Guitarists - Why Bother?

https://t.co/QFFy9DGUxs

[Steve Gilson @SixStringsTV]

@KenBane1 @YouTube Its one of those things that feels impossible, then just somehow clicks into place. Then you frustratingly lose it as quick as it came, but over time it sticks. Like a lot of this stuff, being consistent is what wins in the end.

[Steve Gilson @SixStringsTV]

@KenBane1 @YouTube It's deceptively tough if you just use the pitches, especially if you haven't done any ear training in the past. But if you do a little bit every day, you'd be surprised at how easily it comes.

@KenBane1 Hi Ken, thanks!

[Steve Gilson @SixStringsTV]

Someone very kindly pointed out that I misnamed the new website in my previous post. You can find it at https://t.co/tCr00V6u0U Let me know what you think!

[Steve Gilson @SixStringsTV]

@ampmods Oh bugger! typical of me! Thanks for letting me know... 😃

[Steve Gilson @SixStringsTV]

https://t.co/NNTtyr2axh I've just launched a new website https://t.co/1mLcmH5LrO Its still a bit rough and ready, but the main functionality is there, see the video for a demo, and let me know how you get on!

[Steve Gilson @SixStringsTV]

@ampmods Thats irritating, I set the DNS up today, so I wonder if it needs some more time to propogate. If you don't mind, let me know if it still has that problem in a day or so.
