    In Flames - Acoustic Medley

    One of my favorite acoustic pieces, been learning it over the last few weeks. Really happy with how it turned out!

    I need to ask something about concerts in future

    I don’t think it’ll replace concerts, but could be a cool way to do unique one-off shows that wouldn’t make sense to take on a tour, or doing more cinematic type stuff. I know Trivium is doing some stuff like this with streaming (streamed a full playthrough of In Waves and a set from...

    Comment by 'Jason Dunbar' in media 'Ghost - Dance Macabre'

    You totally should! It's definitely one of those solos that's totally doable, it just takes a bunch of reps to get the feel for it. And the second part with all the triads took a little while to get the fingering right to be able to make the transitions (that's actually what got me hung up the...

    Beginner Scales

    I've found that a really good way to practice scales is to find a backing track and run them up and down, and experiment to see what sounds good. So if you find a backing track in Dminor, just play a Dminor scale up and down, play around with different orders of notes, and then add more scale...

    Ghost - Dance Macabre

    I fell in love with this solo when I first learned it but got stuck. With the new album coming back out I decided to take another stab at it and am really happy with how it turned out! This has been a really good lesson that sometimes you just need to stick things out when they're tough to play...

    Ghost- “Kaiserion” *NEW SONG*

    I held off listening until I saw them in Seattle and am so glad I did. The vibe is so different from what I expected and was amazing! What was kind of cool was when I was learning the intro, I was actually able to use some theory to help.

    Comment by 'Jason Dunbar' in media 'Morrigan Solo progress video'

    Also one thing to add in case anyone else has been struggling with it, this solo finally made me realize I was anchoring my picking hand too much and not moving it up and down as I played, which was giving me a lot of trouble when I was going across all the strings. It’s made a huge difference...
  9. Morrigan Solo progress video

    Morrigan Solo progress video

    Absolutely love this solo from Morrigan by Children of Bodom, so have been working on it for a while. This one’s at about 85% speed, but it’s been a really good alternate picking exercise. (I can normally play the beginning much better, but this was the only take where I actually got the scale...

    Blocking a Floyd Rose

    For the tremol-no, are you able to keep it unlocked, but then just lock if you want to change tuning? Would be awesome to keep it set up as floating but have the flexibility to cover other tunings as needed.
  11. The Trooper

    The Trooper

    This has been one of my favorite songs to play for a while and finally decided to record part of it. Been having fun figuring out more tricks around recording/video editing (still a lot to learn). This was my first time double tracking my guitar part and I was shocked at how much of a difference...

    Blocking a Floyd Rose

    Thanks everyone! Will give that a shot. Of course I’d prefer to have a separate guitar for every tuning, but one thing at a time 😁

    Blocking a Floyd Rose

    Anyone here have a Floyd rose they’ve blocked to allow for easier tuning? Thinking of picking up another Jackson (Rhoads V or Soloist) but want to have something that can cover multiple tunings (been playing a bunch of Drop B and Drop C lately). I know there are a few options, but curious what...
  14. Death - Crystal Mountain

    Death - Crystal Mountain

    Started learning this song a little while ago and found it super fun. I really like the little scale sequences thrown in there. Had to rock the Synner tee of course :)

  15. Messing around with my upgraded Les Paul

    Messing around with my upgraded Les Paul

    Ive had this old beat up guitar sitting around for years and decided to clean it up, swap out hardware, and install EMGs. I absolutely love how it turned out and now have something to hold me over until I buy a 7 string! Riff is from Shogun by Trivium.
