Riffs

SOAD - Chop Suey

SOAD - Chop Suey

It was going to be a #metalminute video but I couldnt leave the chorus out of this as to me is one of the best parts of the song, and the clean guitar is awesome! Far from perfect but so much fun to play, going from slow clean guitar parts to some crazy riffs xD
Scream Solo

Scream Solo

Here's my shot at the Scream solo. It's not the best but I gave my best shot at it! Hope you enjoy!
The last 20 or so seconds got cut off i have no idea why haha but here’s this incredibly fun song (and hard solo)! Made even harder because i have an ingrown fingernail/hangnail on my fretting hands index finger 😂 enjoy guys and gals! @[1427:@Ed Seith] would love any advice or pointers if you got some!
Long video alert, with a lot of rambling comments! Honestly I was so close to throwing in the towel today with this, it's been a rough day mentally, my chest is killing me, but I really wanted to get this done. Massive thank you to everyone who left me advice and helped me get to this stage! There's a few bits where my timing is off, where I generally screw up notes and just lose it, etc, (it gets a lot better at the end) so this probably needs yet more work, but I think I need to take a break and work on something else before I come back to do the main riff.
I've spend way too many times on tiktok lately(it's scary how addicting it is) and there's this melody that keeps coming back so I figured I'd do something with it and improv after. It's in Cm which is a new key to me, that's where some of the hiccups come from and sometimes I just flat out mess up
Afterlife Solo

Afterlife Solo

By no means is this even close to perfect, but I figured I’d finally give this solo a shot. Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold is honestly the song that hooked me into guitar, and the reason Synyster Gates became my favorite guitar player of all time. When I first heard the guitar solo, my mind was completely blown. I didn’t even know it was possible to make a guitar sound like that! As soon as I heard it all the way through, I made a vow to myself to one day learn that solo. 7 years later, I feel like I can somewhat play it. I hope you enjoy!
Thanks @[477:@Ids Schiere], @[3987:@Dominik Graeber] and other fkr the advice. I've tried to move my guitar less, and use mostly my wrist and fingers to do the vibrato. Again, not a cover just vibrato practice, and I was just messing with the solo taking the chunks I thought would be best to practice with! :)
Made a mini video where I covered the slide licks @[477:@Ids Schiere] just taught in his lesson video. Also standing up for Jak! lol

SRV is way harder to play than I originally thought. Why finally the good players make things sound Soo easy😱

Vibrato practise

Little bit of vibrato practise (snipet). I used the so far away solo to practise, and just used different segments in random orders. This isnt a cover or anything, just vibrato practise, so timing etc doesnt bother me, just the vibrato :)

Trills Exercise

Not my best demonstration, but still an exercise I hope some will find helpful! Particularly good for the left hand, this focuses on hammer-ons and pull-offs that you can add to your solos to make them sound cool without too much work! Just... don't do what I do and rush to try and get it perfect, because otherwise it'll end up really sloppy like how I do it in the video. Really need to work on these once I put the NRtD intro to rest for a bit lol
Shit's not gonna keep me from practicing! Or uploading. Had to upload it from my phone cuz my graphics card on my PC broke. Next up will be an original Intro I composed for a song of which I'm pretty proud of.
Short and snappy sweep

Short and snappy sweep

I have posted this because I would like to create a tutorial on the topic of sweeping and the CAGED system. This is just a very small example of what you can get out of the CAGED system. Hope to post in the next week or so. Cheers!

Seize the day solo

Seize the day solo

pretty good go and very happy with it. feel like the bends were nice. however, that pentatonic run ALWAYS fucks me up no matter how much I practice lol. But its nearly there! What do you guys think?
Here's a little speed picking exercise that you can add into your warm-ups to help improve with alternate picking, strength in your 3rd and 4th fingers, or just switching notes and strings! The notes are 10-7-9-10-9-7, and this is played on every string, going down. You could also go up if you wish, I didn't think of that until right now as I post this, lol. You can also probably adapt it for a pull off/hammer on exercise, but that's up to you! I hope this is able to help! \m/
Minha interpretação de um clássico da música brasileira. Espero que gostem!
Hello again everyone! I've been working on these exercises for a while, and I'm sure my left hand is sloppy, but I'm wondering more if my picking hand looks okay? Papa Gates talked about how Syn and many other great players angle the pick and tilt it back. I tried to find a decent camera angle that shows my pick, hopefully you can see it. If not, please let me know if there's a better way to show it. Thank you guys for watching!
