@axisus we all were at some point! Happy to explain a little further, no probs if not though. 

Thanks, but I'm 57, I gave up on theory long ago. I honestly think I have theory dyslexia, it's like it's all written in Chinese!

All I’ll say is, never say never

Bloody hell ...... I could never remember all those notes, let alone keep time! Is that another 335?!

If the idea of watching someone play to a metronome fills you with dread, don't go any further...  

Been checking out triad pairs recently and thought I'd better start going through the usual routine to really get them under my fingers.

Frets 1-5 (this is great as it gives every possibility), all 12 keys through the cycle of 4ths. It's a tough old exercise but great for working on a lot of stuff at once. A fair few rough moments (perfection is overrated anyway), who wants to spot blooper? 

Better get to work on minor, diminished and augmented next

Very clean technique and tight timing ! Great stuff.
I like this exercise - it's quite melodic, I'm going to steal it. I see good shredding material potential too, though I'd be economy picking rather than alternate.

Yeah it’s a lot to take on, but I think you’d be pleasantly surprised by how much stuff duplicates just a fret higher or lower. Keeping time was definitely the hard part once the notes were under the fingers (for the most part).  

This is my one and only 335 these days. I did have an Eastman T486 for a few years which was a great guitar.
