    Guitar Recording and amp sims

    The big problem for mixes in most cases is translation from one system to another. Especially when going from a high end recording/mixing facility such as Mix LA, which can have huge systems capable of insane dynamic range, down to something the average consumer would listen to music on...

    The most listened musician: Kevin MacLeod!

    He was in a large majority of YouTube videos in the early 2000s (basically the birth of YT) due to his name being at the top of some YouTube music library. It was a site that allowed for YouTubers to get copyright free songs and put them in their vids and as a result of his name being near the...

    Creating interesting lead lines

    How would you go about incorporating these styles? I find that when I improvise I always find that I default to what I know by heart. If for example, there is a mode I would like to use but I dont know it well I will just run it up and down or not use it. I think that is what I struggle the...

    Creating interesting lead lines

    I have been working more on this following the great tips that have been posted here. One problem I have noticed is that I am really struggling to come up with any type of melody idea. I feel as though I dont have that musician mindset that is portrayed by lots of people where they are...

    Picking arm and fretting thumb movement

    yeah, I have mine more slanted since that allows the stomach contour to rest on my body

    Picking arm and fretting thumb movement

    My guitar is almost more to my side and not perpendicular to my leg because I cant get it to sit right otherwise. It seems a lot more natural positioning it in a way that it conforms to my body than trying to fit my body around it

    Creating interesting lead lines

    Hey guys. I have decided that I want to progress with more lead playing, more specifically writing lead lines. Whilst I am not too happy with how clean my technique is (it has definitely come a long way though), I am confident enough to use different techniques in my playing such as sweeps...

    When you guys have the tracks recorded I can mix it. Could play some guitar too

    Picking arm and fretting thumb movement

    Hey man, apologies for the late reply. For me it was all about realising the amount of movement that is actually needed and the amount of force that is needed to make a not ring. As you reduce both of these things you will notice that you start to relax a bit more and from there its all just...

    Picking arm and fretting thumb movement

    Whilst trying to sort the issue i noticed a few things that I am working to rectify and wondered if you guys could offer advice on The first is the positioning of the guitar when i I am seated. I notice my right arm tends to pull the guitar towards my body which means that it cant really move...

    Paradigm riff help

    Hey guys, over the past few weeks I decided to take on the paradigm riff and so far its going okay but there is one main issue and that is how I am fretting the notes. Due to starting positioning having both the 5th fret on the C# string and the G# string I barred them however I think my...

    Picking arm and fretting thumb movement

    First I wanted to start with an update on my playing since I havent been on here in a good while. Recently (within the last month/month and a half maybe), I have noticed that I have made some monumental progress with my playing. One of the biggest issues I had was having was tension and motion...

    Thomann.de

    Thomann is the sweetwater of europe! I have gotten 99% of my studio equipment from there and when they sent a faulty product (which I fixed) they refunded it and let me keep it. There are incredible!

    Picking issues

    I thought I would use this thread instead of creating another one for an update on some of the picking issues I have been encountering. The main thing I notice I that my alternate picking isn't very smooth and its very "plucky" so to speak as apposed to notes in a passage flowing evenly. The...

    Is this guitar related or something bigger

    One of the things i am looking at is sleep position as well, I usually sleep on my side which puts a lot of pressure on my shoulder. Not too sure if this causes major issues but it's something im playing around with to see if it has an impact

    Is this guitar related or something bigger

    That sounds like a really good idea, i dont do a lot of prep before playing as far as warming up goes. apart from slow picking exercises I dont really do much like stretching or just grtting used to the motions before applying them so I will have a look for different ways to stretch effectively...

    Is this guitar related or something bigger

    cheers guys, I'm booking a doctors appointment just to be sure but I will keep working on trying to get a more consistent and comfortable technique!

    Is this guitar related or something bigger

    Here are two pictures, not too sure if they help at all but the first is my picking position and the bottom is if i relax my arm completely. I think it may be that the muscles arent strong enough since my posture isnt great in general (working on it). If i lift my arm up, within seconds...
