Okay, bear with me. After the little talk I had with @[1427:@Ed Seith] and @[63867:@Ojas Sapkota] in the forum I was curious how long I need to warm up these days to get Creep and Master up to speed. I did warm up about 30-40 minutes for this BUT I realized (as I barely played to backing tracks before) that I've been playing Creep way too fast. Now I got issues with the timing when playing to a track, that's why I mess up the downpicking with Creep quite a bit. I think I tried to play Master too fast too (but failed) so when putting on the backing track to Master it was quite easy to play it up to speed. I don't know the whole songs so I can't tell you how it feels like to play this speed for 5 min + so this might be the next thing to experiment on.

I took some advice from @[49467:@Ben newton] and worked on these things: 1) keeping my picking motion smaller 2) working on crossover picking before applying it to the alt. picking exercises 3) working on not rushing the metronome 4) using a clean tone while practicing If I still need work on any of these things (or you see any other problems) please let me know! Thanks for watching, and helping.

New single, "Carol Thrashkin" is droppin. No better time to sell out than before you even make it!

Here is my some original riffs. Enjoy!

Just one of my favorite guitar players...

first song played, what do u guys think?<3

Hey everyone! I just finished another guitar cover. This time I played a Metallica classic: For Whom The Bell Tolls. I recorded the bass part but there is no video footage of it since I do not have it with me at the moment u.u Any feedback is appreciated! P.S. All hail the kitten in the corner!

If you dont know this guitarist, i recomend you to check him out. i love his sound

Posted this 3 weeks ago on instagram and somehow i forgot to post it here so here it is, my solo for sarah longfield contest. Amazing player by the way

Finally got to play my guitar after not having strings anyway this is my progress with and all things will end so far

Punk rock/ pop punk was my first love....aside from classic rock. I’m trying to learn this for my brother ! 😊 I’m pretty happy with how far my palm mutes have come. I’ve found though I have a hard time doing them well on other guitars. I’m most comfortable playing my strat. Also, I know I need to work on alternate strumming....but I mean it’s punk... ya gotta go hard with the down stums 🙃 plus it’s fun and I’m all about having fun ! Haha that being said, I did try to build up some tension and “slowly” go into the open chords.... not sure if I achieved that well enough though.

Here's my first ever attempt at fingerpicking! It's something I never thought I'd find myself doing, so it's gonna be a long road of hard work to get somewhere, but I wanted to be able to show my progress as I keep working at it and improving, so here's the first step! It's messy, it's rambling, it's probably not very clear and there's a whole list of things to work on, but I'm already proud of myself for picking it up in the first place and managing to wrap my head around how the basics work (Thanks to the lessons on here, of course!) I'll be updating with more videos as I go, gonna make this my main little project for a while (Like NRtD was). Hope you enjoy!

Trying out a lot of new stuff. I use a smaller pick, have a new rhythm tone and it's the first time I kinda managed to play it standing up, which is insane to me. There are a couple of parts I really messed up, a) because of timing or b) because it's still awkward to play. But it's so fun to practice this one to the track.

Love playing to this song and I'm enjoying the tone. Need to work on that sustainiac pickup!

It was going to be a #metalminute video but I couldnt leave the chorus out of this as to me is one of the best parts of the song, and the clean guitar is awesome! Far from perfect but so much fun to play, going from slow clean guitar parts to some crazy riffs xD

Here's my shot at the Scream solo. It's not the best but I gave my best shot at it! Hope you enjoy!

The last 20 or so seconds got cut off i have no idea why haha but here’s this incredibly fun song (and hard solo)! Made even harder because i have an ingrown fingernail/hangnail on my fretting hands index finger 😂 enjoy guys and gals! @[1427:@Ed Seith] would love any advice or pointers if you got some!

Hi all :) Edit: Thanks so much for all the great advice and encouragement, it's awesome! I joined here 5 days ago and this is my progress so far The fastest I can play the chromatic scale is 45bpm at the moment. Question about the chromatic scale... The video in the beginners' section says that, when ascending, you need to read all the accidentals as sharps and descending all the accidentals as flats (for example: D, D#, E, F, F# G and then descending G, G flat, F, E, E flat, D and so on. ) I am not quite in that habit yet.. I already play an instrument and came into the habit of just calling G flat F# for example because it's the same note.. is this a problem?

Long video alert, with a lot of rambling comments! Honestly I was so close to throwing in the towel today with this, it's been a rough day mentally, my chest is killing me, but I really wanted to get this done. Massive thank you to everyone who left me advice and helped me get to this stage! There's a few bits where my timing is off, where I generally screw up notes and just lose it, etc, (it gets a lot better at the end) so this probably needs yet more work, but I think I need to take a break and work on something else before I come back to do the main riff.

I've spend way too many times on tiktok lately(it's scary how addicting it is) and there's this melody that keeps coming back so I figured I'd do something with it and improv after. It's in Cm which is a new key to me, that's where some of the hiccups come from and sometimes I just flat out mess up

By no means is this even close to perfect, but I figured I’d finally give this solo a shot. Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold is honestly the song that hooked me into guitar, and the reason Synyster Gates became my favorite guitar player of all time. When I first heard the guitar solo, my mind was completely blown. I didn’t even know it was possible to make a guitar sound like that! As soon as I heard it all the way through, I made a vow to myself to one day learn that solo. 7 years later, I feel like I can somewhat play it. I hope you enjoy!

A friend asked me to write a guitar track for his lyrics. The song will be metal but more on the sad / ballad side. This is the clean intro for it and I am super proud of it. I could not have done that a month ago! Also thanks again to @[22747:@Chris Johnston] for helping me getting fit in theory! Let me know what you think and if something on the analysis part is wrong :)

Thanks @[477:@Ids Schiere], @[3987:@Dominik Graeber] and other fkr the advice. I've tried to move my guitar less, and use mostly my wrist and fingers to do the vibrato. Again, not a cover just vibrato practice, and I was just messing with the solo taking the chunks I thought would be best to practice with! :)

Made a mini video where I covered the slide licks @[477:@Ids Schiere] just taught in his lesson video. Also standing up for Jak! lol
