I'm still working on Jason Becker's solo in the intro of Jewel. I have most of it somewhat down at the moment but especially the diminished lick at the end needs some work still but I'll do that in the next couple of days. I also pressed record a little too soon so you get to look at my pretty little ass for a little bit 🤪🤪

Buried Alive

Few years ago, I tried to record Buried Alive. This is a "one-shot" recording" with my phone.... Sorry for mistakes !!
I figured I would dive in on Alicia's 1 week challenge, I chose this song partly because it's one of my favourites off The Blackening and was great fun in Rock Band (in all it's plastic glory), but primarily due to it being alternate picked with some string skipping (stuff that I would tend to down pick). Currently, it's as rough as hessian undies, but that's kinda the point of day 1. Hopefully I haven't bitten off more than I can chew!
Have been feeling really down and unmotivated, so I decided to learn a new song! I just started listening to in flames a few months ago and this is the song that got me into them! Enjoy!! Also I will most likely post a full cover once I’m done fully learning it
This is the first cover that I record with an audio interface. A good friend of mine helped me a lot telling me how to use it and he mixed my recording whith the song and I think that the result is pretty good
First day of practising Hail to the King for @[4668:@Alicia Willis] challenge #oneweekguitarchallenge. I tried this song in the past and gave up quickly to do other things 😅 Decided to get back to this in the spirit of the challenge. Pre-chorus and pre-solo are the worst parts but after I shot the video I worked some more on just those sections and are already a bit better. My goal for the week is to clean the whole song up the best I can and jam to the original song...and I would like to try it standing up. Let's see how that goes 🖤 (video shot on my worst angle ever 😂😂😂)
A cover I made from this cool song. I m using my line 6 Floor POD for distorsion
Alright so about f*cking time my semester ended xD It's like 10am here, I'll finally go to bed, but I really wanted to get this one week challenge started that I promised @[4668:@Alicia Willis] that I'll take part in. So here's day 1 of learning Dear God's main riff! I just tried to get in the chords real quick and hopefully, the notes are alright. See you in a week.
I can’t give you anything but love - Etude
Posted this twice because I figured it fits in both tutorials and jazz. Here’s an etude I wrote over one chorus of an old standard. The goal of this etude was to try to write lines that were breaking out of the fretboard shapes I felt too stuck in, to focus on triplets, focus on altered lines/tritone substitutions, and to try get any bebopish phrasing that I hopefully may have absorbed from listening to Charlie Parker that month. There’s a video of Syn improvising over the same standard on Instagram. Here’s the tab. Follow me on Instagram too! https://www.soundslice.com/slices/SdgVc/?from=search

It took me a while to make this video,but here it is. I finally know the arpeggios within every position of the major scale but I still have a lot to learn and practice about arpeggios
I wanted to out it on instagram but than me overbending the half step bend made me cry a little inside(just kidding I was sobbing in a corner actually 🤪). Effectively for the one week challenge I figured I could finally dive into some of the neo-classical stuff I love but never play and Marty Frietman and Jason Becker in particular. For this week I decided to do Jason Becker's solo at the beginning of Jewel by Marty Friedman.
I was so excited about this that I had to share it separately! You guys know I struggle most with timing and rhythm. Here you see me literally picking up my guitar for the first time that day. No edit whatsoever, just the raw take of me recording to a metronome and backing track in Reaper!
Another year, another take! Really happy with my tone here, although some notes are still not the cleanest. Thanks to @[13676:@Radu-Cristian Perde] for helping me with the string section! Fun Fact: My 2019 version was released exactly on this day last year :D
Covering one of my favorite metal songs🔥 I love it🤟🏼🎸
Hey y’all ! I have started the #oneweekguitarchallenge over on Instagram but I think we could do it here as well !!! The premise is to chose a song,riff, etc that you have always wanted to learn. Upload a video of yourself playing it the first day learning it and then a week later ! I know often times we do not see the small progress we make and this is an opportunity to do such ! A lot can change in just a short week ! I had the idea today when I made the challenge for myself. I had reached a plateau on a few things I’m trying to learn and got discouraged. We all have been there. So join in if you want ! Post here and on the gram and use the hashtag ! 😃
Definitely "Livin' on a prayer" seeing my dream guitar come true, what more have one in my hands :) Thank you Syn & Schecter!
Ending to a song of mine (first song ever written by me :)
So I worked on the one-dimensioned riff I posted earlier (and couldn't figure out how to delete), so I felt pressured to post this here.
Tried to cover the solo from danger line :) Hope you enjoy

Normal

Another one of my original jazz fusion compositions. I hope some of you enjoy it!

Here’s a less than perfect playthrough of an arrangement I did.
