Beginners Corner

Sorry about the sound quality of my recent videos. I dont have my computer to help me edit any of this stuff so I've just been recording it right from my phone using my TV to play the backing track. I hope you guys enjoy the video. Just trying to practice adding embellishments to my playing.

This is pretty sloppy playing on my part but that's why I'm practicing. Timing and Phrasing is something that I definitely need to keep working on. Any const...

playing with some pentatonic patterns that I learned from the SGS community and even tho it may not be much it's a huge step for me in my journey with my ins...

This is not that impressive but to me this was a huge step as I was never even able to come close to putting notes together like this before I joined this community.

Practicing the intro of Tonight The World Dies, using the strumming pattern that my good friend and fellow SGS student, @[78120:@Batbia], taught me. I should be playing it on the acoustic guitar, but I need to change its strings first, so here it is on the electric.

This needs A LOT of work, but just wanted to post an update trying to play along with the original track. As always, tips and suggestions are much appreciated. Happy Sunday 🖤

Trying to work on standing and playing and not resting my hand so hard on the bridge that it pushes the notes sharp.

Back on this solo!! I first tried it in november and quickly quit after barely learning the notes of the first part 😅😅(I'll leave the link of that video at the end of the desciption if someone wants to check out where I was at with this) BUT!!! we are not quitters, so I got back to it with the tutorial by @[4668:@Alicia Willis] (check that out!!!). I'm playing without backing track or metronome so it's not on time, but I hope to get that done for next week! As always, feedback and suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Happy Synner Sunday fam🖤 https://syngates.com/media/synner-saturdays-beginning-to-learn-the-warmness-on-the-soul-solo-the-struggle-is-real.4355/

CC Always welcome! For not being motivated for creative endeavors for the last few weeks, I finally picked up the guitar tonight. Didn't do much other than run through Do Re M...

Hurrying up and posting before I change my mind ! 😂

Was originally only going to show this to Jak because of how nervous and shaky I got. But here it is. As most of you know, I struggled a bit with maintaining my rhythm around the solo and lost track. Got a better hold on that now.

Hi, guys! So, I just started learning this part of the song, 'cause I thought it would be easy and it would give me some motivation to keep my practice routine going. I know, I should start using a metronome. But I thought it was harder to play with it (?). It got me really confused. Is it really hard, at the beginning, to get used to the metronome? Does anyone have any tip/advice to share about it?

Here goes my first day of the One Month Challenge! I chose this song because it's something not too much complicated (I think) so that I don't get discouraged and, most of all, because I love it and it's an absolute classic. Lots of work to do. The different fingering for the chords it's kicking my butt 😬 See you with this in one month 🕦💫 tips appreciated 😊

Hey so I’m back!!! Covid has been really rough for me the past couple weeks and I decided I was gonna take a break from the school and social media but now I’m back!! So here is my progress on bat country so far! I’m taking lessons with bill every other week and he asked what I was working on and I told him this solo and he said he would help me with it! Turns out I was playing parts wrong, no shock there since a7x tabs are so inaccurate lol so he corrected the messed up parts by ear for me and we started! He gave me easier finger placements and ways to play and that helped so so much! I got a long way to go but I’m so proud of myself!! Thought I would tell people that you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help when needed! I was scared to ask for help with this solo but when I did it helped me improve so so much! Take lessons if you can and utilize all the tools on the school and you will improve so so much!!

So, I'm back with a little update on the solo I'm learning. I slowed it down to 90℅ and I think the bends are better than the last video (let me know 😅😅) and I botched a note in the middle that I usually don't miss but hadn't got the time to do several takes 😁. As always, tips are very much welcomed and appreciated. I've started to learn the second solo of the song too because why not 😂 I'll let you see how that goes soon ✨✨✨

Just a little what's up? How have you been doing?!

My goal is to learn Do Re Mi and be able to play it well. This is after several tries to get the sound right. I think it's coming along nicely. CC always welcome!

A.k.a. I forgot how to play open chords 😂😂 I learned this song via a youtube lesson, I know it's not originally on guitar but I love this song and wanted to learn it, so here it is. I messed up here and there 😬 I'll get better a this too, watch out for an update in the future ✨✨✨✨💫🖤 (As always, suggestions are welcomed 😁)

I have been practicing for the past week and finally started recording some videos :) I will try to post more original riffs and song ideias after march. Good week! ;)

Hi, guys! For Synner Sunday, I decided to learn my fav song by Pearl Jam, and I'll keep recording my progress. Here's a little part of my practice. I'm trying to nail the rhythm and I'm having a bit of a hard time with that, but I just started learning this song today. Any tips/feedback/constructive criticism is welcomed!

The little 'latest riff' box in the sidebar has been taunting me for days now, and because of it I decided to revisit the last lesson I uploaded on the SGS. As always tips and tricks are welcome :D

Just jamming an A minor pent over a C Major backing track and having fun and being free

This are two pentatonic exercises (I'm using the Am pentatonic scale) that I always do during my warm ups. Have no idea what the first one is called and the second is a string skipping exercise. Do you have any other exercise I could add to my routine? (And also, some tips on how to improve on this?) 💫💫💫🖤
