Riffs

I’m back!!! So I decided I wanted to take part in synner Sundays since I noticed and read on the Instagram page that barely anyone has taken part and honestly that’s kinda sad... So I don’t have my guitar with me since I’m out at my grandmothers for a few days so I’m gonna upload a video I haven’t shown here from a month ago! I wanted to show that I don’t just play metal and show I can do other styles! So I chose a song from the Beatles who are one of my fav bands that aren’t metal lol Enjoy! Love y’all

Exist

I've said I would do a vocal cover of exist and I kinda tried. I'm not shadz and I'm pretty exhausted so I do struggle holding pitch a bunch of times but tried to work myself through it. I think this also could count as #synnersundays but you now the singing isn't really that great 😅
Welcome to the family #synnersundays
Decided to do welcome to the family in drop c# because my guitar wasnt in drop d so i tried to follow along with the live version of the song
I’m learning to get solos by ear and analyze them to apply the theory. It’s hard...but it’s really fun!!🤩 This is my 3rd one. Still in the works and I think I’ve got some wrong notes, but it’s beginning to sound pretty decent I guess 😊
Just released my new GHOST cover :)

mix is kind of low. I apologize for that. I suggest going to 51:30 of my twitch stream to get a better listen to this. The rhythm is a couple dbs too high.

My hands hurt after practicing this for two hours😂 but revisiting the old lessons today made me realize how much I'm lacking in the basics all over again.
My 1st video post here :) thanks @[477:@Ids Schiere] for the challenge and @[5:@Jak Angelescu] for bringing back the game. And @[4668:@Alicia Willis] for helping me post it 😅🦇🤟🏻
Posted a vid of me practicing this at a slower speed a while ago... and here is the updated progress!
Had a little fun writing a solo for this classic, its chord progression is amazing. :) I tried to sound as "synth-like" and smooth as possible, so I obviously threw in long and liquidy legato lines ^^

Dm improv

I had this Dm-Am-G-Bb chord progression laying around for a while but never used it because it was too much of a similar vibe to that other song I wrote so I figured I'd improv over it. I use some D aeolian, D Dorian and D minor pentatonic.

My second attempt at the short instrumental track “Horn” by the late great Nick Drake. I’ve been listening to him religiously for years and feel incredibly inspired to start really taking the deep dive into his songs from a guitarists stand point. Learning his songs and techniques, which are most definitely not simple, so it’s a bit intimidating and outside of my wheelhouse. There’s a couple little uh oh here and there but not too shabby imo :) Using my Martin mini as it’s the only Martin I currently own, but I wouldn’t feel right to play Nicks music on anything else haha.

Jazzy Kitchen Licks

Just me playing some Jazzy Licks in my Kitchen
2 things. One I completely lost my place on what chord was what when I went down the fret board half way through the video...so I focused on staying in the g minor scale for the most part. And 2... I also realized a couple things about how you can find the relative minor arpeggio in the same position as major. I'll link the twitch video in the comments.. its longer as I second guess myself plenty of times in the video when I was right all along. But I did make some mistakes that I have to fix on paper but I know them in the video.
remissions

remissions

im doing an instagram series where I play through Avenged songs that I haven't played in over 10 years, or never at all. THis weekends was remissions. I spent hours learning as much as I could to get a solid play through. I wont link all of them here, but this one I had fun playing and was one I struggled with before so felt proud to play it this time round.

Hail to the King

Hi guys!! I recorded a video playing the solo of Hail to the King. I think that is one of the best solos of synyster

Solo piece in C

Robin Nolan taught this piece in the gypsy jazz transfusion club on Friday and I took the time to learn it. It's effectively a solo piece based on All Off Me

Dear God solo

This perfectly illustrates why bending and vibrato control is way more important than shreddage ;) Had to throw in a little original solo at the end of course!
Sometimes when you feel a certain way, you just have to go LOW. Down to F to be exact. Learned this riff in 20 minutes cause I felt like it, so don't be too hard on me :P

lay your hands on me

I always liked bon jovi a lot so o figured I'd learn one of their songs.

My Sharona progress vid#2

Been working on it during the week. I would say the faster parts in the middle of the solo sound a bit cleaner than in the first video. I'm definitely feeling more confident playing these parts. Btw, I didn't tune the guitar before recording and it's a bit out of tune, sorry about that, but I didn't have time to make a new video and I pretty much liked the take. Anyway, there's still some work to do...
