Piecing It Together

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.

R U mine - analysis

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.

Drop D Warmup Jam

Some slow metal chugging for warm up and testing out my new metal tone. Also playing with my newly made strap for my lovely new Gibson V. I should really start doing these jamz to drum tracks.
Practicing the solo for Enter Sandman by Metallica. Using a Fender Player Strat, Dunlop CAE MC404 wah pedal, Ibanez TS-9, TC Electronics Sentry noise gate in...
Am I Evil? - Main Riff (and a new guitar :D)
I could not think about a better song to play this guitar for the first time. I am thinking of learning the whole song now o.o Out of all the guitar models that exist, "flying V" has always been my favorite and I finally got one :') P.S. Dont mind the spanish description in the IG post haha
Messing around with a fingerstyle arrangement of a tune from the film 'Stuart Little' that would make a grown man cry 😭
I posted this etude a month or two back but I wanted to repost with another picking angle and a much cleaner and more effortless take.

Norwegian wood - analysis

The analysis for Norwegian wood. This is such an awesome song and appears simple but there's a very sneaky modal change
Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
Thank you Synyster for teach me how to tapping <3

Practicing some pentatonic scale with the great Angus Young
Really happy to make a cover of Thornhill using my Jackson USA B7MG ! Love this guitar and love this band ! My revelation for 2020, for sure. Hope you'll like it !
