    Started Buried Alive! Please Watch To Give Feedback :)

    I wouldnt mind taking part in the dual solo sections when the time comes. It sounds really good and I can’t wait to see how you progress with it

    Lost feeling when playing old riffs

    Those were really good points, Its like my playing, I went from playing pentatonics and blues 100% of the time to playing more melodic and that was due to what I listened to. I definitely think what I wrote was good but I dont think it is worth changing them because it shows progress.

    Lost feeling when playing old riffs

    Hi everyone, as of late I have been listening back to old riffs but when I play them I cant seem to find that passion that was there when I first wrote it. Maybe this is completely normal but when I write riffs i always feel a certain way when playing them but I dont anymore. Does anyone else...

    String tension v playing

    I love my strings super loose as i vibrato really strong, i may try setting up another guitar in drop c or d standard to compensate. Just another reason to buy another guitar😂

    String tension v playing

    Thanks for the advice, I will definitely consider different gauges My main goal is to somehow achieve the tension of a whole step down but in e standard, I don’t think that is possible but it is worth a shot

    String tension v playing

    I have restrung my guitar today after a long time of playing in d standard/ drop c. It is now tuned to E standard and it is a pain to work with. Does the change in tension also affect ease of play? It doesn’t really help how glossy they are, They sound amazing but they are way too slippy haha...

    Picking Problems!

    Syn nailed it with this, you can see how important slowing down by watching Jaks HTTK videos or the recent scream video. If your objective is speed then try economy picking as that is less pick intensive than alternate (I have a thread if you want to learn that).BUT definitely take time to form...

    🍑STUDENT PROJECT DEADLINE THIS FRIDAY🍑

    I havent got anything better than the economy picking vids so is there any chance you could use those?

    3-1-3 economy picking

    For this week my task is to continue focussing on the 4 strings from last week but to begin to add the descent in. One of the most important things to note is that if you play 4-5-7-5-4 on the g sting (in other words if you do not repeat the 7 on the g string)you will end up hitting the final 4...

    An idea for Halloween?

    Someone should play it on an out of tune guitar, that alone is terrifying.

    Tapping your foot.

    Take time to let your foot heal dude, Its like being an athlete, if you sprain your leg dont go out and run a marathin. I have had countless injuries that could affect my playing but (although it is hard) take a break and just allow it time to do what it needs to do. It will be much worse to...

    Changing picking style for different techniques

    Personal preference, if you have never had a problem don’t let people try and tell you its wrong, the time to stop and think is if it is making playing uncomfortable or giving you grief. I pick with my fingers stretched for rhythm and curled for Anything and I mean ANYTHING that requires single...

    Getting "Use To Failure" And Overcoming It (Weekly Encouragement)

    You are absolutely right Jak, before I started economy picking I always used to accept that I would never be able to do it and even though now im not 100% consistant I have improved more than I thought was ever possible. It’s all about that determination and knowing you have an end goal. Every...

    HELP ME WITH IMPROVISATION

    Playing notes of the scale in order isn’t so much of a bad thing. It sounds to me like you may need to focus on articulation and phrasing for example instead of playing two notes next to each other, try sliding or bending into it. Doing this will give you playing more feeling and make it not...

    Commenting On Riffs. You Can Still Do It + Student Project :)

    Thanks Ed, Hopefully I can start to incorporate some of the other major scale patterns but for now I am trying to get a good understanding of everything thus far for next weeks post.
