    Hello from Malaysia!

    Hello, welcome! Papa Gates recommended to first try to learn a new song by ear. Personally, that's what I try to do at first, sometimes by slowing the song down, but I use tabs when I can't figure everything out by ear (Songsterr is the best for that) which is most of the time, but you have to...

    How Is Everyone?

    Hey Jak, that's so nice of you to take some news from everyone. I finally put myself together and picked up the guitar again, because for the past few weeks I had a really hard time doing absolutely anything, including guitar. I feel much better with myself and more healthy, and I'm happy so see...

    First Solo

    Solos are quite hard yeah, but keeping challenging yourself is what makes you progress. Don't get frustrated, and if you need any advice, just ask!

    Comment by 'Nocturne' in media 'American Idiot full play through'

    I LOVE Green Day. Good job, it seems near perfect to me, except as @Jak Angelescu said, you're in the wrong key. But as soon as y will transpose it, it will be perfect.

    This just blows my mind

    That's the same for me. For the first time since I started playing guitar, I have trouble picking it up and playing and that's kinda stressful because I didn't know it could happen. But I told myself that it was okay, and that I was because of exceptional circumstances and that I don't have to...

    Pedals

    My Sinister by Foxgear. That's a mean sounding distortion, with really high gain, and the knobs have a great influence on the overall tone, you can really shape it how you want it to be.

    I been slacking on practice

    This is weird. For the first three weeks of lockdown I was in top shape and I played guitar most of my day. Now I just feel lazy about everything and I just don't want to do or have the energy to do anything. But that's improving since I'm trying to get back on a routine. I guess that's just a...

    Random tips/fun facts.

    Alright I have one too. If you love using your whammy bar or if you bend and your strings go out of tune, before changing your tuning pegs, try stretching the string correctly. The origin of a string going out of tune is that there are friction points between the strings and parts of the guitar...

    Well I'd say the most essentials are the campfire chords and power chords. With that you can do most of the stuff like picking up by hear, improvise a basic rhythm part, come up with riffs and stuff like that. For the rest of the chords I think it really depends on your musical influences and...

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    The weird knobes seems to me like a failed attempt of rewiring. This isn't something I often say, I'm more of a "do it yourself" kind of guy, but as the Sustainiac wiring is very complex and sensitive, I think you should see a luthier.
