I learned a little bit more! I don't think anyone knows how hard I rock this song. When I listen to this song, so do the neighbor's cows😂 Bill starts the solo section tomorrow!
I’ve really been drawn to my acoustic lately. Probably because I’ve played my electric so much. I don’t practice as often as I should and sometimes I like to just not focus on a particular lesson but just strum some chords and see what happens. For me that is FUN, and I am practicing I guess in a sense. This is just me randomly trying different chords and strumming patterns and seeing what comes out.
Some crazy economy picking in this!
Here’s a cover I did with some friends of one of our favorite bands.
Disclaimer: I am NOT a singer lol However, I have wanted to play and sing for myself for quite some time now but was too scared to try. This is my take on “Blown Away” by Carrie Underwood. It’s a very stripped down version of the original and I modified the chorus because... my ass can’t sing let alone belt like Carrie lol Also, I kind of like it better being a bit more melancholy. Fun fact : I don’t even particularly care for country music, but I love this song. Wasn’t going to post this but I was proud I actually accomplished what I set out to do even if it isn’t great.
Basically I didn't enjoy playing this that much because it's too much of a collection of licks and patterns to me and too little hints to a melodic idea and hence it's a bit sloppy(especy in the beginning) but @[7809:@Jesse Salmons] challenged me to learn it and I said I would so here it is.
Almost missed the deadline :D <3

For those of you who don't know, I have been taking lessons privately from a guitarist whose band I've become obsessed with. I've been very honored that he s...

R U mine riff tutorial

A tutorial for the riffs of R U mine by the Arctic Monkeys. I included all the variations as well.

R U mine - analysis

There's suprisingly little in terms of harmony in this song but it's a really cool song nonetheless. I think In doing angels next week and there's a poll for the week after that up as well.

Drop D Warmup Jam

Some slow metal chugging for warm up and testing out my new metal tone. Also playing with my newly made strap for my lovely new Gibson V. I should really start doing these jamz to drum tracks.

Used phone instead of web cam. Apparently my phone mirrors the image.. odd.. I'll have to work on that next, but at least there is no clipping and it's clearer and yes it's like the worse angle to do it at coz I was trying to do it quickly whilst i had time.
Still working on it, so I figured I’d do another post ! :-)
Am I Evil? - Main Riff (and a new guitar :D)
I could not think about a better song to play this guitar for the first time. I am thinking of learning the whole song now o.o Out of all the guitar models that exist, "flying V" has always been my favorite and I finally got one :') P.S. Dont mind the spanish description in the IG post haha
I'm accepting the challenge of @[513:@Calvin Phillips] and posting my rhythm again. Papa Gates noted that my other video was slightly out of time, I was rushing a little bit and gave some advice. So, again, thank you very much @[11:@Brian Haner Sr.] for your advice. This time I tried to really get the groove and let the notes breathe. And thanks again too to @[42619:@Aileé Guerra Aréizaga] for doing this.
Messing around with a fingerstyle arrangement of a tune from the film 'Stuart Little' that would make a grown man cry 😭
Hey guys ! Sorry for being inactive for so long, I had quite a lot of things to do in the past weeks. Here is my VERY rough draft for the rythm guitar. I am a bit sick (not from the virus) and rythm is not my greatest strength, but I thought showing my progress would be cool. I'd love to hear your comments.
I posted this etude a month or two back but I wanted to repost with another picking angle and a much cleaner and more effortless take.
