Work on your picking style. Getting comfortable holding the pick on upstrokes and downstrokes. Also I would utilize a metronome of sorts and practice playing simple scales. Start slow, and work your way up the tempo so you build your speed and finger dexterity.
I said I was back last year, but was prepping for a 9 month deployment. Back for good, and out of the Army for good (thank god). Good to see some familiar faces and I look forward to chatting it up and even more so, playing. See you all around the game block.
Just letting everyone know that I relocated safe and sound. New job rocks, and I am building a house. So I will be back, up in running in 4 months (estimated build time). Likeasomebodeyyyy...
Peace.
