Riffs

I was to busy for Synners Saturday, sorry. BUT I still want to keep a quota of at least one upload per week, so here is something I've been working on for the past month or so... The lead parts of Whiskey In The Jar, so the intro and main solo. Im orienting myself on the Thin Lizzy version. For the most part, the Metallica version is just the Thin Lizzy version with more gain, but there are some differences, like the missing intro. I really love the solo, it's basically just a more fancy version of the vocal melodies, its really melodic. And from a theoretical point of view, its a nice combination of G major and G mixolydian.

Using what I worked on in my last $ynner Saturday post, I decided to continue working on some more Mario stuff, the Bob-omb Battlefield/Cool Cool Mountain themes, as it utilises the strength I've been working on building up in my pinky finger and hand as a whole! It needs work with a metronome, but getting the notes down is a good start! Then, I thought I'd briefly revisit Not Ready to Die from about 9 months ago (Yikes!). Turns out my sweeps are very much still rusty and need a lot more work. I'm still struggling to make it sound more fluid, yet I can mostly manage it when I sweep in the Mario Castle theme from a few weeks ago. Might be my next focus playing-wise, while I learn theory alongside it!

Sooo I don’t think the tabs I used are 100% correct but it’s Synner Saturday so fuck it...I do what I want 🤣 Got some new strings for Ruby today and had to jam a bit. Still been working on bends, pulls off and vibrato and this encompasses all three of those. I think the bends are definitely getting better 👍🏻 Happy Saturday y’all !

A bit late with the upload, I could have done a better job. Was working on standing, singing and playing something not too difficult. It was already late so I was focusing on keeping the volume low and how I speak. Had to go slow to try and get the timing right, it's tricky to sing and play. Not my first time trying, but I think I'm getting better at it. I will redo this soon and possibly attempt another set of vocals.

I feel like I could play it way better now, so might have to make an updated version sometime this month

So here’s the song I learned today!! I’ve been listening to skillet like crazy lately and their one of my fav bands to see live! So I decided I’d do a cover of one of their songs! Enjoy!!

Mi humilde interpretación de esta gran canción!!!

This is one of the riffs i've been wanting to get down for a very long time and now i finally managed to get it down to a playable standard but i'm still gonna work on it until i get it down perfectly though😉

A lot of bending... I love it! :D

So I was watching The Game Awards a few hours ago and the Call of Duty clip reminded me of this song. This riff is crazy and I really enjoy playing it, especially the vibrato and palm meeting; groovy songs are great stress busters imo xD. The notes I'm playing are from what I remember and what sounds right, just having fun. Yeah, don't forget to have fun! haha

Great economy picking workout! :D Instagram: simoneichingerx Gear: - ESP Horizon NT-II - Marshall JVM410H

Let's add some space to solo before the end :D.

This is a better take on previously uploaded video Synyster Gates inspired riff

This is a lick I came up with inspired by Synyster Gates I developed this inspired by sweep picking lesson 4

This is a cover and an instructional video of the solo in Cherokee by Europe. This solo is originally played by John Norum. Comment if you have any questions :)

I had an accident about 4 years ago and I asked my mother for pictures today. A lot of the pictures are a bit viewer discretion really so I'm keeping those for myself for now. However, she also sent me this clip of me playing guitar in the hospital. It's not over a backingtrack or anything but it's just me playing some stuff

My cover of Avenged Sevenfold's Doing Time

Full guitar cover of Welcome to the Crazy Maze by Andy James. This is an awesome piece it was definitely very difficult to learn and more practice will be ne...

After cleaning, laundry, and taking off the dreaded trash lol I had some time for myself. On the video I posted yesterday, @[21204:@Sayonil Mitra] suggested I try to make my palm mutes a bit more powerful, so I gave that a shot. Also, I remembered a riff I learned awhile back is also in the same tuning (I played it on drop d before) so of course I had to play it too ! (Shine by collective soul) Just playing for a few minutes boosted my mood immensely. These Synner Saturday’s were a fabulous idea @[5:@Jak Angelescu] !

Took the time to learn a new riff today. Still struggeling to play the verse but the intro riff is so much fun. Song is played in Drop A#

Happy $ynner $aturday! Hope you're all practicing hard! Here's a few notes from the video: 1. In the Spider Exercise, I gotta work on descending down the strings, I keep missing notes as I do so. 2. In same exercise, constant alternate picking. 3. In my CMaj Scale, need to work on alternate picking. Also, tips of fingers. Next on my radar to work on: -Learning fretboard notes!!! -Working on the next position for CMaj Scale -Practicing more permutations! I have a small tutorial for the Spider exercise if anyone would like it! I can also tab it out for you if you wish, just hit me up! Cheers all!

Nightmare Guitar Cover, this time I used my line 6 Floor POD for distorsion, I think it sounds cool
