Riffs

Playing around with Wasting Love by Iron Maiden. Haven’t been in the most creative mood, so trying to just practice things I’ve learned before. Playing rando...
Smells like teen spirit - Nirvana
10pm and I cant put the guitar down even if Im not even focused on practicing or whatever xD My neighbours must hate me at the moment as Im playing a bit loud xD Just a quick video anyway!
After taking a break yesterday, I came back and improved! I'm a lot more confident with playing this now, just one slight slip-up nearing the end which you'll definitely hear but I think I recovered well. I'm playing along to the official soundtrack, and the timing at the start is pretty hard to nail down, but I got really close! Finger positions are a lot better too, just gotta work on slides and making those notes sound smoother. It's not so easy standing up, but worth it! Got a better tone on the amp too, it's not much but it's better! Hope you like it! \m/
@[477:@Ids Schiere] challenged me to play this means war, so here’s me having fun with the whole rhythm part of the song!
Cigarettes - Tash Sultana solo cover
Got a wah pedal recently so did a cover of my favourite solo. 👉🏻 swipe for the ending 😂
Inspired by the Video Games Music thread! So, spent a fair while today learning the first half of this theme, worked out by ear. I'd originally been playing it from memory and as such got a few things wrong. Went back, listened to it, and re-worked it out. There's still a few points where I tried reverting back to the original way I played it, there's a time where I hit an open string, and a few instances of using the wrong finger to play. I've been really trying to drill into my head finger positioning, and using my pinky more, which is song is great for, as well as stretching. It's not perfect, but I plan to come back to it and make it better! Also, standing up is HARD!! Another thing I struggled with is the tone. Original is a lot crisper and cleaner. I couldn't replicate this as well as I wanted on my amp, I used a twang setting with a LOT of reverb, treble and mid, a fair amount of drive, and I think some Tape Echo. It's close, but not 100%. Hope you like it! \m/
Quarantine Jamz Nr.3  Dance Macabre by Ghost.
Quarantine Jamz Nr.3 Dance Macabre by Ghost. By far....my least liked song of theirs.......but the solo rippss!
Inspired by the lesson on the twelve bar blues and a healthy amount of nostalgia, I wrote this piece a while back and finally got a demo version out. Hope y'all enjoy!
Recorded over the original track using Audacity. My daughter as special guest xD @[5:@Jak Angelescu] playing standing up and full song :P Ignore my video edit skills xD
Avenged Sevenfold - Buried Alive cover by Alon all guitar parts! Hi :) This is the first official cover that i really worked on with my good friend producer ...
Done for a college assignment. Attempt at the SGS Economy Picking Etude 1 after around a week of practice. Had to focus the camera on my picking hand so apologies that you can't see my fretting hand that much. I keep having problems where I don't let the strings ring out long enough, but here I think I managed to get it somewhat right. A little annoyed that I completely botched the bend right at the end, but this was my best recorded attempt to date. Planning to try move onto the next step of the Etude with the 6 notes, can do it around 70% speed but any faster and I lose it. As for my picking, I feel like it's not smooth enough at this speed, still feels like I'm plucking more despite trying to angle the pick a little. Is it just because it's slow and that once I get faster, it'll be a lot smoother? Also, is it bad I rest the guitar on my left leg to reach notes comfortably? Tips + comments appreciated! (Also a side note to everyone who offered me advice yesterday - Thank you!!)

Riff Challenge - Belief

@[3987:@Dominik Graeber] challenged me to learn this. Note: the intro is in free time so it's kind of annoying to get the timing entirely right, in the second solo he uses a EHX microsynth so I kinda improvised a little bit there. I couldn't figure out what was going on with the octaves at the end so I kinda just did something(which is wrong at times)
Sixteenth Quarantine Day: I'm starting to go crazy and write covers xD
Due to @[5:@Jak Angelescu] recent video, i bit the bullet and uploaded my full cover of this song! Made a couple mistakes, but i just had fun with it. Enjoy and tell me what you guys think!
Hey guys this is my Metalcore cover of Dance Monkey! Enjoy!
@[3987:@Dominik Graeber] here it is...is a bit shit but just had part of the afternoon to "learn" the intro xD Next one I'll take a bit more time with it, maybe if Im in quarantine xD
Learned this one for the Riff Challenge as suggested by @[7809:@Jesse Salmons] and it's just damn fun to play although some minor mistakes! Playing standing up cuz @[5:@Jak Angelescu] said. Also because I know my CAGED Chords I figured it was a lot easier to play that G in the E position :D Might cover the whole thing at some point.
I've been practicing this one song in the last 4 weeks ... Fuqn beast... The next song will be easier...
In dying days beginning

In dying days beginning

The three techniques I should improve are Legato (As usual), Squeals (There were supposed to be a few in it), and 16th note alternate picking on the lower string.
Playing part if IX and the intro to What The Dead Men Say by Trivium. Fucked up the ending but oh well :D
@[3987:@Dominik Graeber] challenged me to learn this, so here I go.
