    Rocksmith?

    @Noah I 100% agree on note tracking but the tones I think are ok but not much to go off on in trying to replicate on an actual setup. Guitarcade Im also eh.. Its good to reinforce technique but ultimately your playing a videogame with the guitar as the controller and it gets really fussy with...

    Rocksmith?

    @josh I have it on Xbox 1 (BIG MISTAKE ID DO IT ON PC IF I HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER) but I want to get it on steam so is the Customsforge actually accurate? I just watch them on youTube and try to mimic on my amp or the guitar next to me lol

    Idea for a video collab

    @Ids and Jen: No matter I have been really occupied with school and studying for tests etc. So I hold no judgement on anyone. Like I said day 1 “Do what you can when you can” Im just afraid people forgot but clearly they havent @Sayonil We did something like that a month ago. Richard O’Connor...

    Rocksmith?

    GET ROCKSMITH!!!!!! I tried learning with a teacher, I’ve tried learning online but Rocksmith is the reason why I am still a guitar/ Bass player. You learn at your own pace. It gives you instant feedback (although I don’t agree w/ it always). I learned stuff SUPER fast and when I did the solo...

    weird thing that my hand does

    For alt. picking honestly theres a bunch of videos out there beyond this school that can give some insight. Like Ids said just practice it and you will see improvement. Me I do a picking style where I just feel the moment. I down pick ALOT but if I need to alt. pick I still do a down stroke but...

    Physics of a guitar

    Calc 1 was vectors and that thing. Calc 2 was like E-fields and B-fields and how protons flow through circuits and doing current and resistance etc. Every school is different tbh

    Physics of a guitar

    When I got my first active pickup guitar (the one I use now) I was in Calculus physics 2 and we were learning about current and magnetic fields and all I could see is the schematics of my guitar. Honestly knowing some of the physics behind it is very helpful in knowing about maintenance...

    Thoughts About Syn's Playing Evolution?

    Chiming in kinda late, but Im actually 22 and I started at 16 and was juggling a lot of other stuff at the time and couldn’t take it that seriously. At 18 I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness that forced me to put it down, and it wasn’t until I was 19 till I picked it back up on and...

    About practicing and tempo

    Like Ids said, do as many repetitions as you feel needed, but pause between then and identify any short comings and how to fix them. Tempo starts are go slow (40-50 bpm seems good to me)

    Practicing when sick

    Also its worth mentioning that if your really sick (colds you might weasel your way out of this) but if really sick ie) flu you can actually damage your guitar. The bacteria making you sick come in contact on your hands and if you play hard you therefore transfer them to the guitar and this...

    Practicing when sick

    Hey Ben I am just getting over being sick and tbh take a break and then when your better come back to it. Just thinking on what to do in scale patterns or what the artist is doing, you will see some (not much) but some improvement.

    Feeling Meh

    A question for all. Ever in this journey have you just felt like guitar is a chore? Right now I’m kinda feeling meh like I don’t want to practice or do anything. Ultimately, I want to put more into this school but I don’t think I’m doing enough like I can’t play Avenged songs but I have the...
