    2021 Goals!

    My Number 1 goal for this year is more of a business goal, but it's to grow my student base to be as full time as possible. The pandemic took my live entertainment work, so it's a rebuilding year for me for Teaching :geek: Guitar wise I want to continue to improve my sense of melody when...

    Thanks so much man. That's genuinely made my day! I actually had no idea people went out their way to listen to us - Usually I feel like I'm plugging and annoying people :LOL:. And I'm so glad your Mum enjoys the Lipstick EP :love: Haha yeah we're a good alternative to anything heavy!

    Fun Rhythm Songs?

    This is neither of the Genres you mentioned :ROFLMAO: but it has a sorta Bluesy chord progression. It's great for getting in the pocket with Rhythm playing & practicing rythmic muting between chords. It's it's a chill-as-hell song that gets stuck in your head!

    What are you working on?

    I'm probably the same as you with that haha, I just get picky students sometimes so I try to be as to the book as possible 😅

    Introduction to Power Chords and Palm Muting – Lesson 18

    Definitely on the right track! One thing I'd work out is how hard you're squeezing the pick when you do this technique. You want both notes in the Power chord to happen at the same time, so it sounds like one seamless hit. Easing up your grip on the pick and letting your wrist/pick do the work...

    What are you working on?

    Yeah it really is! Loads of interesting duals & bend work. The hardest part is trying to pinpoint exactly where on the neck certain licks happen, as the Guitar tone kinda changes throughout - so I was back & forth from the recording to a live video last night trying to match everything up

    So the new Scottish Lockdown is meaning that I can't teach people in person for the foreseeable - Are there any Teachers on here that know of good places to advertise their lessons for Zoom? Or Any Zoom tips in general? Thanks in advance! :D

    How do I write a riff??

    I'd try not to have too many expectations about it and use the tools you have already. It could be any technique you're confident with, as long as it feels & sounds good to you. Most of the songs/riffs I've wrote for with my band have popped into my head while walking my dogs, like there's just...

    Some Thoughts I'd Like To Share

    I had no idea any of this was happening out with the school...It's sad to hear! There's absolutely no need for people to be slated behind other people's backs. This site should be an escape from those type of antics - as musicians with a common love, that should be common sense. We are all in...
