Reputation: 4003   Rep Power: 59 |  Hmm. Aight. I'll try to take a pic with me trying to hold that stretch (a DSLR is kinda heavy especially trying to hold a stretch lol). But here is the tab (intro to In My Darkest Hour - Megadeth): e|-----------0--------------0------| B|---------0---0----------0---0----| G|-------7-------7------7----------| D|-----5--------------5------------| A|---9--------------9--------------| E|-0-------------------------------| Mmmm. Arpeggio...  It is probably easy but I am still a nub...

Reputation: 4003 Rep Power: 59 | Hmm will keep that in mind bro. As always thanks for the advice...  Your experience will always have ready ears (or eyes) in this thread lol.  Here's me 'trying' to do the stretch. I'm getting a bit better but with my hands out like that, I can't really have enough pressure to push down on the strings.  EDIT: Holy crap huge res LOL! EDIT2: I need to clean my fretboard...

Reputation: 4003 Rep Power: 59 | Hmm I can manage that as well. I guess I use my thumb as a pivot for more strength?
