    Finding information on a guitar

    So I have an Ibanez Artwood series acoustic guitar that I got way back around 2000 when I was in high school. I'm hoping to find out the exact model that I have. I looked for a serial number and there is a number string stamped inside the body of the guitar, but googling that comes back with...

    Stick to intro or progress through song

    Thanks. I think I'll take it in sections while working on the transition. It's easy to get overwhelmed with anything by Zeppelin because the songs are long and Jimmy is being Jimmy. 😄

    Stick to intro or progress through song

    So, I'm much more confident with the transition from intro to main theme in "Going to California". I know it, I just gotta get the muscle memory. So now I'm wondering should I progress through the rest of the song while still working on getting the transition up to record speed or should I get...

  7. Going to California transition at 100 bpm.

    Going to California transition at 100 bpm.

    Still 52 BPM short of the recording but that transition is coming along.

    @Ed Seith and @Alicia Willis Not sure if the description tagged you both properly. But thanks for the tips on playing faster than the recording and anchoring my pinky respectively.

    Going to California beginning of main theme with recording.

    Got some fine tuning to do, but I was able to play part of Going to California along with the recording. Big thanks to @Ed Seith for the tip on practicing faster than the recording and thanks to @Alicia Willis for the tip on pinky finger anchoring. Still working on that jump from intro to main...

    Can't play with recording

    I just realized that I think that's what I did for the intro without realizing it. Once I got the pattern down I just tried to play it as fast as I could. Once I played with the metronome I realized I was going much faster than the recording. Maybe that's why it came easier. Thanks for the tip.

    Can't play with recording

    I'm so frustrated. I've gotten the second part of Going to California up to the speed of the recording. Checked it with a metronome. But when I try to play along with the recording it's like my fingers just stop working. Is it just a mental block? How do I get past it? I can play the intro with...

    Going to California

    Spending quality time with my acoustic and I think that Jimmy Page's acoustic work is underappreciated. I'm still working on the transition between the first and second part, so I paused the video. That's why there's a skip. I've come a long way in 2 days.

    I've been working on some acoustic stuff. I know this school is aimed at electric, but is acoustic welcome too? Rock on.
