    Here’s a random thought I had while listening to Sleepwalking by Bring Me the Horizon. I listened to it and realized that it has the same kinda sound as Losing my life by Falling in Reverse. Falling in Reverse possible got inspiration from that song to create Losing my Life?

    “Musician’s Ear”

    So I just listened to a song I haven’t listened to forever Animal I have Become by Three Day Grace but something was wrong with it. It sounded different, not necessarily in a bad way but I heard things that I didn’t hear before. I think I really developed that “musician’s ear” and I could really...

    Has Music Evolution Become Stagnant?

    I agree music has just stopped changing. The best thing we got in the last 20 years is Attack Attack and My Chemical Romance taking over and going into bands like Asking Alexandria and the Red jumpsuit Apparatus. I did hear something about a band called Electric Callboy which I believe are...

    Singing in time

    I tried working some things out. It is still absolutely mind boggling for me. Should I even worry about keeping time with singing to the other instruments or leave it be and worry about it later. I just don’t how I would do it on the spot in a simple jam session with other instrumentalists.

    I made a weird sound

    So I accidentally hit something that sounds almost like a pinch harmonic. Instead of using my thumb though I used my index finger’s fingernail. Also I found it works best on the top 3 strings of the guitar a lot better than the lower ones. I had to put the puck in a bit of an angle to do it. I...

    Singing in time

    I’ve been wondering how do you sing in time and rhythm with other instruments. I’m doing in more of a jam session scenario where we are all freestyling not recorded and fully planned out.

    Stuck in a Rut

    So I’ve been having a bit trouble creating something new. I am stuck doing the same old I - VII - VI chord progressions and riffs that I’ve done before and when I create something new it feels boring and uninteresting. I have been through this before but this time is a bit harder to get out of...

    Transitioning and strum patterns

    That’s true, I haven’t learned a lot of songs. Only a few from Asking Alexandria and Avenged Sevenfold. Ok I will go learn some different songs. I’ll learn some Iron Maiden songs, Three Days Grace or possibly Bullet for my Valentine. Thank you Ed.

    Transitioning and strum patterns

    So there are two things that are confusing me. First is something I kinda got down and that transitioning from a verse to a chorus or chorus to a bridge. What are some steps or ways I would to kinda build up verse to a chorus or another part of the song. Second is strum patterns. I have been...

    Ok so, uh, I enjoy metalcore and crabcore a lot. Avenged Sevenfold, Asking Alexandria, Attack Attack, As I Lay Dying, you get the gist. Recently though I thought, hey, thrash metal sounds cool and I want to start playing that thrash metal stuff on guitar. So now, I decided to start on Master of...

    Badass. Great cover! How long did it take you to perfect that first shredding bit?

    My First Band Jam

    After 8 months 5 days and 6 hours of playing guitar, I started a band and we had our first jam session last Thursday. It was a little difficult syncing up but it was pretty cool. I’m gonna call it a band jam, yes it sounds a bit cheesy but has a nice ring to it, maybe, ok I am not calling it...
