Well it’s been almost a month since I posted this. Sorry I didn’t get back to you on the video thing. I don’t have a web cam at the moment, although I plan to buy one at some point.
I’m doing a lot better on this technique. It no longer slows me down and I don’t lose the sustain when I slide. The key was to work through a lot of pain and build up a serious callous on the pinky…more than whatever I had before. I’ve been working on the slides everyday and just sort of making this month a focus on legato. It’s really paid off. I feel I can change my focus now to reducing string noise and really honing in on a better sound. I’m using the ‘arpeggio etude’ and ‘The Chase’ part 3 lessons as practice bits to focus on these kind of “pinky hammer on into slide into pull-off” scenarios.

I’ve been in the game industry for about 13 years now. I work at Valve Software. I do a lot of work on Team Fortress, but have also worked on Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, and recently some stuff with Portal 2.
I’m a programmer and game designer. So I design weapons and implement them. Or create various parts of gameplay. That kind of stuff.
