    I like it. Thanks. I'm always looking for new music.

    Music and mental health

    Totally get that. Guitar is really what is keeping me going right now. My brain goes to bad places when I don't have anything to do. So recently whenever it starts going that way, I just grab a guitar and start dicking around or work on a song I'm learning. Helps a lot.

    Music and mental health

    What's up fam? So recently my mental health has gone into a steep and scary decline. And I never realized until I got this low how much music has helped me over the years. I came real close to saying "fuck this life" and I happened to hear "In The Light" by Zeppelin. And I realized that there is...

    That's always been an issue. I get so into learning a song that I start working it out without a metronome going. Then I have to backtrack. Same thing happened with Crimson Day. Thanks for the reminder.

    Take a break, have a meme

    It's just not fair. But there's a theory in the fan groups that he's actually a vampire because dude just does not age.

    Right? I give off Elephant seal vibes.

    Playing with rhythm

    K. So I'm gonna try and describe this the best I can. I grew up playing various brass instruments and piano/keyboard. So I can read music. But I'm having trouble connecting the tab to the rhythm. After this part in the picture it's just a run of 16th notes. I'm finding that I'm getting the...

    One of my beginner groups on Facebook does this. No prizes but it's a weekly challenge. Everything from playing a specific song to singing while playing to fun stuff like playing with a hat on and it greatly encourages people to post videos.

    So my anxiety riddled brain is overthinking things. I see a lot of comments here about people just showing off and I hope my videos haven't come across that way, not that I have anything to show off. I just like having a platform to show my progress that isn't strictly social media. But it's...

    Radiant Eclipse intro

    Maybe this is covered in an advanced lesson and I need to be patient, but the main riff in the intro to Radiant Eclipse is played on the G and the A string simultaneously. How do you strum that without catching the D string inbetween?

    I feel fine posting videos for help. Maybe 2 sections. A riff section for just showing what you've accomplished and another riff section that is strictly for help. Maybe even a 3rd one for just showing off. That way we aren't scrolling through videos that are all mixed together and we can go to...

    This is an interesting topic and thanks for bringing it up. I always feel bad that I don't at least leave a reaction, but I don't comment because I don't know what to say beyond, "Sounds great" and "Way to go". And as great as that feels to read, it's not exactly helpful. Also, it seems like a...

    Pedal setup

    @Radu-Cristian Perde is right on here. When I got my first electric, someone said I needed a compressor. So I got one. Then I learned that Jimmy Page in his days as a session musician and with early Zeppelin used a Fuzz box. Which was an early type of distortion. So I got a fuzz box. Same with...
