I am honored! You are very right, they work well together…

Thanks; you're too kind because it took me a long time to get to the point where I can play what I hear in my mind and be able to solo in any key. If I had of started out with those methods, it would have saved me 20 years of effort.

But you got there!!!

I know the stuff but can not really apply it, I am lacking the time spent with actually practicing the guitar

Know how is only one part, and not the most important one.

I am working on timing and real application now.

Inspired ;)

Relaxation techniques make a huge difference. If you are straining, and not relaxed, focus on finding where all the tension is at a given moment, and concentrate on relaxing the muscles where you feel tension; then continue; don't practice tense movement.
