    Majority Rules

    It's down to whatever works for you at the time, currently my pick size is yellow. I bought a mixed pack of Dunlop Jazz picks and am using the clear yellow Ultex one, no idea of size.

    Guitar-Related Member Upgrades

    Perhaps a monthly FAQ? First week of the month Legendary members submit their guitar related questions and at the end of the month Syn and/or Papa put up a video answering a selection of the questions? Maybe video lessons that dig a little deeper into some of the free theory and technique...

    Comment by 'Adin Shepherd' in media 'Muted Strings: Help'

    Hmm, your hand position is looking much better, but as you have shown there is still some muting going on. I would suggest making the chord shape and play it one string at a time, as soon as you hit a muted string take a look at the position of the finger causing the issue and adjust until the...

    Comment by 'Adin Shepherd' in media 'E Major Help'

    I am going to guess that your ring finger is touching the G string stopping it from sounding. Play a little more on the tips of your fingers 👍

    Well..........except maybe bass 😆

    Comment by 'Adin Shepherd' in media 'Everyone's favorite riff....'

    Sounding pretty good so far! As for tips, when I learned to play this, I spent some time working on the chord changes without the fingerpicking, just practicing getting those changes down as fast and clean as I could. I found focusing on one element at a time helped me get the intro down faster.

    What are you currently listening to?

    As much as we all like to hang shit on bass players, Alex Webster is a fuckin' beast!

    Problems with an old Squier!!

    That is a really weird issue. If everything works with your Ibanez, it does make you lean toward the guitar being the issue, but the fact that it works with your teachers gear......🤔 Given the symptoms though the first thing I would be checking is your guitars input jack (should be pretty...

    Need Help With my First Guitar.

    Starter packs are a great, affordable, way to get yourself started with guitar. Most of us started out with used or budget gear, mine was a used Strat knock off and a crappy little practice amp. Time waiting while you save for more expensive gear is time better spent learning. Get the starter...

    Most digital metronomes will have a 'tap' function, just tap along with the beat of the song at it calculates the bpm. This song is around 140, I am at 120 in the video, so still have a bit of ground to make up in a week.

    Lamb Of God - Laid To Rest (1 Week Challenge)

    Thought I may have another crack at @Alicia Willis 1 week challenge. This time around I am going to try and learn Laid To Rest, day 1 has pretty much been getting the riffs under my fingers (still 1 I am working on), then it's on to getting it up to speed (hopefully) over the rest of the week.

    Comment by 'Adin Shepherd' in media 'A Minor String Skipping Lick'

    Nice lick! One thing I do notice though, at the start when laying the rhythm into the looper, your strumming is coming from a nice loose wrist (👍) but as soon as you play the lick everything seems to tense up, the wrist locks and the movement moves to your elbow. This may be working ok for you...
