Back with Lesson 22! I feel pretty confident about the concept of Hammer-ons. It's the Pull-Offs I'm more concerned about. I did my best to figure it out myself. Let me know if I got it right and maybe even some more feedback?

Decided to try to practice Am pentatonic scale from Lesson 20 using the exercises Papa Gates talked about.

I've seen a bunch of questions about modes lately so I figured I'd make a little lesson/demonstration on it during my break

I just mixing anything, because it makes it shimerring and awesomeness

well i felt like trying something different with my guitar since it was my first ever instrument to learn and play so i thought id share and A7x was my teen ...

I took a crack at Syns first legato etude! What do you think?!

I'm keen to do more collabs, so hit me up! Enjoy!

This is my audition for the Synner boyband 🤪🤪 On a serious note, I was actually planning to work on either a shawn mendes song today or record an acoustic version of a john mayer song today. However, I was listening to this ben today and it threw me back to my partying days so figured I'd have some fun with it.

Still 52 BPM short of the recording but that transition is coming along.

This Metal song is all about my pain and worst love circumstances, I don't have a perfect life😢😭I'll hope you like it😃 the lyrics are short but the language is Japanese, I'm sorry, I'll hope you like it😃🙏🙏

I'm back.

Just wanted to share a little progress video. It's not much but I'm really proud of this 😂 the first clip is me in november doing permutations at 80 bpms, in quarter notes and all down picking. Second clip is me now, in February, doing the same exercise at 95 bpms which is not that much more but in eighth notes and alternate picking. I know I have a lot to work on but this is a little victory for me 😁

I'm returning to lesson 18 today to track my progress! Because a lot of you know I really had a struggle with that palm muting. So using Lesson 18 I'm just using a little exercise with open and palm muting. Definitely think it's improved a lot! Besides when I get nervous and overthink it. LOL!

Had a band practice today and was able to play this briefly. It was a lot of fun

Got some fine tuning to do, but I was able to play part of Going to California along with the recording. Big thanks to @[1427:@Ed Seith] for the tip on practicing faster than the recording and thanks to @[4668:@Alicia Willis] for the tip on pinky finger anchoring. Still working on that jump from intro to main theme, but it's getting faster.

I've been reading the autobiography of Tesla's bassist this week (it's actually a lot better than I expected it to be) and this morning, I was reading about the making of their 3rd album, Psychotic Supper. Edison's Medicine was the lead single from that album, so I decided to start learning it this afternoon. This is my second playthrough the track - some parts I can't play up to speed or get lost, other parts I haven't actually learned yet. No thought given to any leads yet AT ALL. This is as raw as it gets for me, so here you go. If I decide to keep working on this one, there might be a progress video in a couple weeks, though this is not something I would work on continuously for all of that time.

Expanding the possibilities of fusing guitar virtuoso with K-Pop! Pop on your earpiece/headphones to hear some cool guitar layering! Strung my black guitar with pink strings just for this! Enjoy! IG: @muzmalek

Almost Easy solo :D

What's going on Synners!? Happy Synner Sundays! Such a cool solo! Had to slow this down a bit, as I haven't been practicing it long. It needs some more time, but on a day like today I couldn't possibly NOT show y'all what I've been up to. I haven't been very active because of work, and it has been a rough few weeks. To add onto it all, the Instagram page went down. I believe that we can make it through these times together though, because this school has pulled me up many times, and there is no doubt in my mind that tough times will fly by with enough shredding from all of us. Hope everyone is doing great, and I can't wait to see what new things the school has planned for us!

I’m back!!! So I decided I wanted to take part in synner Sundays since I noticed and read on the Instagram page that barely anyone has taken part and honestly that’s kinda sad... So I don’t have my guitar with me since I’m out at my grandmothers for a few days so I’m gonna upload a video I haven’t shown here from a month ago! I wanted to show that I don’t just play metal and show I can do other styles! So I chose a song from the Beatles who are one of my fav bands that aren’t metal lol Enjoy! Love y’all

I've said I would do a vocal cover of exist and I kinda tried. I'm not shadz and I'm pretty exhausted so I do struggle holding pitch a bunch of times but tried to work myself through it. I think this also could count as #synnersundays but you now the singing isn't really that great 😅

Decided to do welcome to the family in drop c# because my guitar wasnt in drop d so i tried to follow along with the live version of the song

Sat down tonight with the Em and G lesson and really drilled it. But this time I focused on how my fingers were (besides sore, lol!) on the fret board. I know I have a long way to go but I feel like I made a small amount of progress tonight on not muting strings. CC always welcome and appreciated!
