So Far Away (Solos)

Hey guys!! My name is Anthony, and @Jak Angelescu has encouraged me to finally get out of my shell and post. I've been on the school for almost a year now, and I've incessantly battled the idea that I wasn't good enough to upload anything. But I suppose I'll always feel that way, so what good is practicing and grinding and playing if nobody gets to hear it?! Anyways, here is my first upload - So Far Away by the almighty A7X. Syn's emotion is so fucking good in this solo, and I hope one day I can make the guitar sing just like him. Any advice on bends, vibrato, or any feedback at all is always welcome! Thank you guys. Happy shredding 🤘🏼

I love this ! There was a moment right before you started where it looked like you were singing a bit...you were so relaxed then, and it did seem like you tensed up a lot when you started. That’s something that’ll just take time ! It’s super nerve wracking when you’re recording yourself.
It sounded beautiful and you should definitely continue to upload your progress ! Your bends sounded great to me, there were a couple notes where a little vibrato would have sounded awesome too.

"Nobody is more critical of me than me" I feel that man. We're all our own worst critics. Overcoming the fear and just doing it has really helped me today. So get ready for more soon! Looking forward to seeing your progress as well.

Thanks so much for your feedback! Looking back at the vid, I can definitely see your point about me tensing up once I started playing. I know that being relaxed is key to getting better, so thanks for pointing that out! I'll work on the solo in sections, slower, and work out the kinks. Thank you again.

You don't sound like you just picked up a guitar so you can help others too. Theres lots to work on as well but we all have those issues.

Hey thanks for that. I've been "playing guitar" for a while now, but I didn't start taking it seriously until about a year ago. I'd love to help others who are just starting out, so thanks for thinking that I can. I've had some comments from people about what I can work on, and I've started working on some of them today. It's nice to receive help, but also know that I can give it (if I feel like I actually know what I'm talking about on the subject lol).
