    Comment by 'Matt Wildcat' in media 'Attempts at Not Ready To Die's first 8 bars.'

    Thank you so much! I'm not the best when it comes to pulling off but it'll probably make it a lot easier, so I'll give it a shot and see how it goes! Gives me more to work on and improve if I can't get it at first!

    This is extremely helpful! I'm definitely gonna go back and try it with a slower tempo, reviewing it this morning I've seen that I could really do with getting my left hand used to playing the notes and getting comfortable with it before going forward too far. It's funny, so many people have...

    This is really encouraging to hear! I've always been a bit of a perfectionist, so it was a little out of my comfort zone lol. I'll certainly work on my sweeping, I haven't done it in so long so I think I really need to revise it again properly. Thank you!

    Attempts at Not Ready To Die's first 8 bars.

    Normally wouldn't post stuff like this. Practising NRtD's first 8 bars of intro solo over and over again. It's not great at all, it's really sloppy. I've managed 45-ish mins practice today, had to skip yesterday, so it could've been a lot better, but my main focus was to show off my progress on...

    Rambling but here's an update on my progress since returning, at least to track progress. May do more of these as I get better! Stuck to scheduled practising, good since I'm awful with sticking to things. Worked on my right hand today, mostly just holding the pick right. Must've threw in the...

    All Students Please Watch🥰🥰

    Man, this is awesome, love this idea! Also, the critiques are super helpful, at least in my opinion - It's a lot easier to see and work on mistakes when they're not sugarcoated and it's really helped me begin to improve!

    If you're able to, that would be amazing, thank you! In that case, I'll do myself a bit of research and see what I can find that works best. Thank you!

    No worries, it happens! I'll make sure I work on improving on this! Thank you so much for your advice!

    Favourite compliments You've ever gotten on your playing

    I think mine would have to be when my relatives told me I'd make my great uncle proud. He was an incredible musician and had a serious passion for music, but passed when I was very young. One of the things that keeps me going.

    Comment by 'Matt Wildcat' in media 'Economy Picking Etude 1 attempt'

    Thank you!! It's certainly a bit of relief to know I'm not the only one who does it, typically I try stick to the right leg, but then it doesn't really matter too much once I start standing up 😂 Honestly, the lessons are great, I never thought I'd be able to play stuff like this! Ahhh, that...

    Comment by 'Matt Wildcat' in media '(PART 2) "Hope County" Far Cry New Dawn Guitar Cover'

    Thank you, Jak!! With vibrato, I always used to do it just by bending my fingers and not moving my wrist, so I think I need to go over it again! With my picking hand, I never really know what to do with my fingers, honestly. I think I kinda use them just to keep me in place, I tried keeping them...

    So I've been dedicating at least 30-60 minutes to getting back on track with guitar each day, and today I set myself a little challenge of working on Not Ready To Die's intro. Learned the first 8 bars, gonna include them in my practices each day and slowly get faster. It's great for working on...

    Quarantine Update! How are my Synners doin'?

    Been getting back into playing slowly but surely thanks to everyone's advice the other day! Made some great progress in a little song I fell in love with recently, and I'm planning to start going back over old lessons to rebuild my playing, so I'm doing well! \m/

    (PART 2) "Hope County" Far Cry New Dawn Guitar Cover

    After taking a break yesterday, I came back and improved! I'm a lot more confident with playing this now, just one slight slip-up nearing the end which you'll definitely hear but I think I recovered well. I'm playing along to the official soundtrack, and the timing at the start is pretty hard to...

    "Hope County" Far Cry New Dawn Guitar Cover

    Inspired by the Video Games Music thread! So, spent a fair while today learning the first half of this theme, worked out by ear. I'd originally been playing it from memory and as such got a few things wrong. Went back, listened to it, and re-worked it out. There's still a few points where I...

    Comment by 'Matt Wildcat' in media 'Economy Picking Etude 1 attempt'

    Thank you Dominik! I'll slow it down and give it some more good run throughs! Normally I rest my guitar on my right leg, but I chose to rest it on my left just because I was having a lot of trouble reaching the top strings, and it gave a bit more room to move. I think I've only ever stood up a...

    Help needed - lost with what to work on, where to (re)start, motivation and mindset, etc.

    Thank you for this! I feel like I've always struggled with my mindset since I dropped, so I'll make sure to keep this in mind and remind myself if I think I'm losing it again.

    Economy Picking Etude 1 attempt

    Done for a college assignment. Attempt at the SGS Economy Picking Etude 1 after around a week of practice. Had to focus the camera on my picking hand so apologies that you can't see my fretting hand that much. I keep having problems where I don't let the strings ring out long enough, but here...
