Wanted to share this with y‘all! Martin Rønning and I covered every little detail in this song AND we both played an additional shreddy solo! 😜

SGS Contest - Lesson 17

Hi everyone! This is my entry for the SGS Contest- I've worked on Lesson 17 from the beginner course. I've tried to include the tik tok pattern while trying to stay in good rhythm. Any advice very welcome! Hope you enjoy! And excuse my grumpy face while playing - can't be focus without it 😁

I was a bit anxious/nervous about showing my face on camera so I look a bit twitchy. Lol. I meant to say that Jimmy Page inspired me to want to play electric guitar and Syn inspired me to learn it.

Revisiting Lesson 17

Since it's been a week since first my first video I thought it'd be fun, to revisit the lesson from that video and I have to say, I did not expect to see this much progress. Last week I barely managed playing along at 80% and today I did 100%. It's super motivating to see and I highly recommend other beginners to film the same lesson a week (or longer) apart as well, you will blow yourself away!
I might be crazy? But I decided to take the plunge and enter the contest. I'm a beginner, so this isn't anything amazing...but I'm proud of it =)! Good luck to everyone and I encourage beginners to enter!!
Apologies for the length (Solo in first half), and please ignore me saying influences instead of aspirations, I got mixed up. lol. ANYWAY, here it is!! I'm so so SO excited to share this solo because it's the first time I've written my own piece that I'm SO proud of and love the sound of! Compared to my previous solos and improvs, I feel like I've come so far in implementing different techniques (Trills, alternate picking, bends, vibrato, attempted arpeggios!, etc) and being brave enough to slowly venture outside of the scale and add in extra notes! See if you can spot the fun lil Mario passages I borrowed and expanded from, as well as my favourite little Pentatonic picking pattern, and let me know what your favourite part was! Cheers guys, and good luck all! (Also, is it just me or is the vid low quality? I might need to reupload? Please let me know!)
I just watched Lesson 20 and felt like giving improv a try! The backing track is slowed down to like 70% speed, because I'm a little beginner baby when it comes to the Pentatonic scale. But I was freakin' stoked on it, so here's some raw, uncut practice for ya. How am I doin'? Also: LOOK MA, I'M STANDIN' UP LOL

Bflat 1 5 6 4

Watch the video in the comments to see where this came from. I didn't get any suggestions so I Googled and this came up first. So I used my knowledge of my g minor positions to play further up the fret board. I play both variations of each arpeggio I learned (ala the relative minors in the same position). The actual video is longer and I am sorry I didn't hit record on the camera for the YouTube version so the fingering of what im playing is only available in the twitch video. I'll make sure this changes. Next week I'm gonna stretch into the actual scales and not just the arpeggios. I'll also need a new progression idea. If you got one let me know.
Breaking down a solo #1

Breaking down a solo #1

Here's to quickly answer what it really means to learn a guitar solo, asides from playing slowly!
This solo is so cool, and a lot of fun to play, I need to learn the second solo as well :)
I decided to keep the video from the first time around, and just edited a part before it. I hope it does the job. If not, its not a big deal to me as well im just here to show my knowledge honestly. Only thing I hate is since the videos were on the phone they are now condensed and annoying looking lol. That can be fixed as I have the originals if needed.

Afterlife Solo Cover

Hi Everyone :) Here's my cover of Afterlife solo..... Comment what you think about my playing. 🙂 btw today is my 15th birthday 😃😉
I’ve always prided myself on being raw and real, so here’s a raw take from the practice video of @[347:@ashley willis] and I doing Hail to the king ! Is it great ? Nope. Was it fun ? Fuck yes ! (Me looking like an idiot is a testament to that lol) But the point is to have FUN when you practice. At least Ashely is looking cool lol 😎 We need lots of practice playing together but I can’t wait until we can nail it !
My first cover from this amazing band
Soooo..here's my submission! I worked with lesson 18 focusing on the power chords introduced by PG ( and threw in something from lesson 20 as well).I worked hard to create something of my own and I'm proud of it! The video is not super long, I'm a little camera shy and also, I usually go straight to the point 😅 Hope you guys like it. I'm really happy to be part of this family 🖤 (Sorry for my poor video making and editing skills, I tried 😂😂😂😂😂😂)

SGS Riff Contest Entry

Hello! I'm uploading again my participation for the riff contest, in this video i'm talking about the lessons I used, what i love from the SGS and my aspirations as musician. English is not my first language so I tried my best, hope you can understand me :) . Thank you for watching!
Just a vid of me messing with some weird modulations and some weird faces. Enjoy!
Apologies in advance, I am not the best at speaking on camera. To expand upon my dreams for guitar and music, for now it is probably my primary hobby, I am not sure if I would consider becoming a professional musician outside of playing small gigs and jamming with my friends. I would however like to look into lutherie, as building a guitar to me is one of the finest forms of art other than playing one. Regardless, I am extremely honored to be a part of this community, proud to call myself a Synner, and hope the best for everyone who has either been around for a while or who has just joined. Thank you for checking out my entry!

Whole lotta love

I'm pretty out of.oractice with the palm mutt stuff so I occasionally mess up there and the solo is deceivingly hard to do timing wise so that's not really perfect either 😅
