Riffs

Me and Bill have been using Basket Case by Green Day to help with theory. We have been talking about triads over the correlating chords and so here it is! just a short clip as I fuck up, lose it then start again... its a long process but so fun!

AKA "Why you shouldn't slack for nearly 2 months." Skip to about a minute in for actual guitar, I ramble again. I know, it's crap. I've been slacking real bad,and it shows - BUT I did learn up to the solo! Turns out, my tiny, slim fingers do actually have some reach to them! I know the notes, I can reach them, I just gotta stop panicking, relax a lot more since I'm so tense in my right arm, and go back a few steps to using metronomes and going real slow - I skipped a lot of steps in my eagerness to learn this. I rushed too much. It shows. Don't be like me, folks. But anyway, here's progress. I'm gonna really try get back into my routine of playing consistently again. I was doing so well for about a month!

Yesterday I posted my first day of working on pentatonic VI. This is day 2. I'd estimate I spent 45 -50 minutes yesterday and about 40 minutes today before shooting this video. A lot of times I will let myself learn it up to speed a little sloppy and once my hands are use to the speed THEN I will back down to 60 or 70% and really focus on perfecting it. And then slowly work up to 85 or 90 over time and then drop back down to maybe 80% and eventually I'll get it to 100%.

This is 150 BPM. It sounds annoying but is great for alt picking! Now just to get this speed perfect!

Bill Hudson has teached me so much its unbelievable! I'm so happy @[5:@Jak Angelescu] took the time to tell me what he was like as a teacher and person and it didn't disappoint! heres an exercise.... start with one key, i.e, C, and go down the first major scale and up the next and keep going till you get back to the first one after the 12th fret, now go BACKWARDS along another key and repeat! I went c, to G , to E. It's tough. I'm doing 130BPM at 2 notes per beat. It's a work in progress but i find its real fun!

Kinda nailed it, kinda butchered it, I'm not too sure myself. Also Dancing Dead is probably my favourite A7X song

Hey! A while ago Jak said I should make a video teaching my process and techniques of learning Syn's Etudes (Great Fun!). So I decided to post a day by day series of what my learning process looks like and hopefully it encourages you guys! Not everyone can sight read Syn's etudes at full speed like he presumably does (Not fair!). So this is for anybody who feels intimidated or thinks an etude may be too hard to learn. Don't be afraid of it! Give it a try..start slow and document your progress daily. I know I post a lot of mine but all you see is the finished product...it doesn't start that way. So give one a try if you don't already use them...I would say 25-40% of my guitar playing is Syn's etudes because I'm a huge believer in mastering fundamental guitar techniques! Obviously it's important to work on playing songs to help with palm muting and playing riffs, which combines 1 or more of these FUNdamental techniques to make beautiful music! Let me know what you think!!

Hangar 18 Bit messy at parts but took a fat minute to learn... Enjoy!

Hey guys. So I haven't posted here in a while, and I'm going to tell you why. I lost motivation. And this wasn't the typical "Eh, I don't feel like playing right now". I was in a rut. My dream/goal is to be a professional musician. To be part of a successful band and write amazing music that makes people headbang and cry and have fun. Well, I've become increasingly aware that while I have been practicing for the past year on the school, I was doing a couple of things wrong. 1. I haven't been taking any tangible action towards actually writing music. So now that I'm starting to, I'm writing cliche stuff and find myself stuck in dead ends. 2. Despite being on the school for over a year, I had to swallow the giant, shit-flavored pill that I rushed through the content. I treated it as a race, trying to get to the end as fast as possible. Obviously, that didn't do much for me. I still learned a good amount, but I had to admit to myself that my impatience got the better of me. (Cont. below)

There is so much that Bill has taught me. And there is one amazing thing that finally sank in; actually a couple of them, that I can't wait to share with you. First thing is the chord training where I had to find chords knowing the notes. Then I had to improvise over the chords using those shapes. Then I wrote a little riff. The end is me STILL struggling doing the scales up and down the neck. I left my mistakes in. I slow down to try to find myself😂😂

Finally....One last sweep picking lesson to go! (8)

I learned a little bit more! I don't think anyone knows how hard I rock this song. When I listen to this song, so do the neighbor's cows😂 Bill starts the solo section tomorrow!

Some crazy economy picking in this!

Here’s a cover I did with some friends of one of our favorite bands.

Basically I didn't enjoy playing this that much because it's too much of a collection of licks and patterns to me and too little hints to a melodic idea and hence it's a bit sloppy(especy in the beginning) but @[7809:@Jesse Salmons] challenged me to learn it and I said I would so here it is.

I hope you like it!

There's suprisingly little in terms of harmony in this song but it's a really cool song nonetheless. I think In doing angels next week and there's a poll for the week after that up as well.
