Hail To The King Solo

I started learning this a few days ago. It could be better of course, but at this point I just want to post something. I know getting my foot out of the door will prompt me to post better things going forwards.

Revelations

Besides the couple brain farts it went pretty well and like always I kinda take some liberties with the solo😅
I gave up on this solo last year like...3 times? But it came along in the end. Cheers for perseverance! Never give up!
A damn hard one. Started working on it 1 week ago. First Syn solo I’ve tried. Still a loooong way to go but I have the gist of it anyway. (Idk why I always pick the hardest things to learn 😂🤷🏼‍♂️)
comments includes twitch video of me figuring out my arpeggios for every chord in the family for b flat. I then play the rhythm for the improv video. It does not include the lead hence this video. Its a long video, but I go over every single caged system position for all the chords in b flat family. Which is essentially your Cmajor family in standard tuning. I'm going to continue to use these positions more and more and will continue to post videos surrounding random chord progressions involving these chords. Excluding the diminished for now. I'm hoping to get suggestions but eventually ill just use all the ones I can find on google. my self critism is to follow.
Just my favourite song and my cover :)
LELE - Black G (Album)
Hi guys, this is my first soloist album recorded 2 years ago with my own two Schecter Synyster Gates Custom S. Hope you like it 🤘🏻🎸
Nearly Spent DFS Acoustic
Acoustic solo I wrote for a song of ours, super proud of this one, I got lots of cool riffs and solos on the album hmu & let me know what you think

Sweet child o mine

I bluffed part of the solo but here's me playing sweet child o mine. Feedback is very much appreciated!
Not sure if this is rock or not, but I'm putting it here. A few mistakes and I'm not at finger picking or speed stages yet but it's coming along. I was feeling camera shy, hence the mask.
E minor improv

E minor improv

Thoughts? just me lettin it out in e minor some pretty cool licks in there help me to 500 on ig @darealryanv
I started working on this song just before my grandpa passed. It’s a song that has taken on quite a profound meaning to me. I’ve always loved Hizaki since I was younger and never thought I’d even be able to attempt one of his songs, yet here I am trying to learn it today. Dedicating this to @[5:@Jak Angelescu] always watch for a ray of light darling. She’s always been my number one.
This reminds me of animals as leaders style, the combination between the maj7 arpeggios with half-diminished arpeggios

SGS Instagram Contest Entry

Hi everyone! I'm Beatriz (you can also call me Bia) and this is my entry for the contest! It's my first video here (hopefully the first of many). I'm a beginner and I'm new to the School, but I'm already loving being a part of this! I am very shy and I was sooo nervous to record this but I did it anyway 😹 So here are some things I would like to point on my video: 1 - Sorry for my English! 2 - Don't mind my grumpy face on some frames (specially when I was playing, I was so focused 😹) 3 - Shoutout to my sister Amanda, she really saved this video of being a complete mess 🙌🏼 4 - I know I talked too much! So here's a quick guide to the most important parts of the video, with timestamps: 00:01 - Introducing myself 00:45 - Lessons I used, why I used it and what I've learned from them 03:15 - The Riff/Song 05:29 - Things I love about the School 06:24 - Music aspirations I loved participating on this! Thanks for this opportunity! P.S: I know the cat totally stole the scene 😹😹
Learning to use the CAGED System better I'm tuned down a half step from E Standard
So as the tittle says I’m relearning the bat country solo after my terrible attempt that ruined me lol I was beyond sad that it was so bad cuz I thought I did amazing when in reality I did not haha thanks to @[5:@Jak Angelescu] for giving me hard honest criticism when I made that video! It hurt so bad knowing it wasn’t great, I literally broke down crying thinking I was not meant to play guitar but after talking with you, I realized what I was doing wrong and finally worked up the courage to try again! If anyone here feels the same way I did I’d love to say don’t give up! Things may get hard but just tell your self your awesome and That you will accomplish what your working on! Just take your time as long as that is and you will see amazing results!

John mayer trio

So, I learned some john mayer trio songs, then forgot like 50% of the licks/solos so it's kind of a lot of bluffing/messing up but at least I'm standing up 🤣

This was utterly terrifying to make because talking in front of a camera is not my strong suit, but I really, REALLY wanted to branch out and participate in a contest, so, here it is! For my contest entry, I used Lesson 20, Overview of the Pentatonic Scale. I've been having so much fun playing around with it in my practices! :) Okay, that's enough outta me. Good luck, everybody!!!
Hi! this is my video for the SGS instagram contest. Well, sorry if my english it's not good but tried my best, i have to practice more. So, the lesson that i choose was the major and minor chords (lesson 17) and some things about the CAGED system (lesson 30) i used all this things in my riff, also with some embellishments and some arpeggios with the pick. I used Am, Em and D (major and minor chords) Bm, C and D (caged system). This is my video and i hope you enjoy it, and sorry again if my english it's not the best, but i tried :D
HI, here is my video for the IG RIFF CONTEST, sorry for my english it´s not my first language but hope is clear enough to understand XD. I based my riff on lesson 48 (Introduction to building chords) & lesson 49 (Building More Complicated Chords) in order to create a cool progression and playing a solo over it. My riff is in Em scale and also has the influence from Avenged Sevenfold which is my favorite band. Thank you very much!! keep rocking Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/co_sevilla/

I would really apprecciate that the exercise do not use the first string because i don't have it :c

SGS Insta Contest

Hi Here's my submission. I'm sorry for my english, don't have the habit to talk to my phone and in english, so I eat some words and forgot another even if I was reading and thinking that my speech was so disguisting... 😁 So here what I really want to say : I use the 12 & 13 lessons about the main chords G, E, Am and Em and the tik tok motion, in ordre to put some dynamism. How I play this ? With fun ! I like this School cause people are helping each others with compassion and without judgment. I see clearly that everybody knew he was a beginner one day and would have help like here at this time. For me, to learn playing guitar is essentially for fun and playing some songs. It's also to show to my children that if you want it, you can do it with work, even it's hard. And to show to my 9 years old son some tricks until hé can learn it by himself. I don't expect to play like Syn actually but who knows ? Here is the place to learn that, for sure ! Kenavo, ar wech all !
