    Songs to Learn? (And advice in general)

    I think exercises are good when first learning a new technique, they help to build a good foundation but they often aren't very musical. Once I have a feel for it under my fingers I will then seek out riffs/licks that use whatever I am learning and turn them in to excercises for practice.

    That explains where Chad was then.........

    Total guitar 'greatest guitar players ever'

    I am not usually one to pay much attention to 'best ever' lists, but not having Tommy Emmanuel in the acoustic list is sacrilege.

    City of Evil celebrates its 15th Birthday today

    Not gonna lie, this was my first A7X album and I wasn't a fan. No doubting it has some great tracks but the big killer for me was the vocals, so whiny sounding, still struggle to listen to the album in full because of them.

    Collab! Final Placements and Composition!

    While I understand your concerns @Calvin Phillips, I think @Aileé Guerra Aréizaga outlined expectations very early in the sign up; "COMMITMENT: If you are part of the collab there is an expectation of EFFORT. Out of respect for all the other people who are gonna put hard work into this collab...

    I am not sure if there is a name for it? But I do the same little 'flick strum' when I play it too.......a lot.

    SGS Collab - Blues Verse

    Firstly, sorry for the delay 😊 I decided to do the blues verse as it hadn't been done by many, I came up with an original part taking some inspiration from whay Ids had put together. Hope you like it.

    New Synyster Gates Guitar manufacture trouble

    I would just leave it, there will be no benefit in moving that pick up aside from preventing any OCD issues.

    Looking for a good practice amp that lets me sound like syn

    Sounds like the Katana may suit what you are looking for, not gauranteed to make you sound like Syn though. It does take a footswitch, there is a Boss one and some 3rd party options too. https://www.boss.info/au/products/fs-6/

    First Solo

    A great choice for your first solo! Everything we do is difficult until it isn't anymore, at some point everybody here would have struggled learning that solo. Keep up the practice and I am sure you will have it nailed in no time, don't be afraid to ask for help and advice if you need it.

    First Solo

    Keep at it, sometimes it helps to break it down into bite size pieces, rather than trying to learn the whole piece at once. Which solo are you working on?

    To all the newcomers! A word about the media page

    Well said Dominik and I couldn't agree more!

    Playing with backing tracks

    I have this one, I haven't really used it much (although I probably should), so I can't really vouch for it's awesomeness or anything. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smp.musicspeed

    Comment by 'Adin Shepherd' in media 'Iron Man in Power Chords (intro)'

    Great job! If I can offer a couple of bits of advice, first get your thumb up behind the neck, it will make everything you are doing now, and into the future, so much easier. Secondly, the time will come when you will need that pinky, try avoid tucking it down under the fretboard and keep it up...
