    FINALLY beat you to the punch!

    What Ed Said

    Every time I go to post a response, I make sure I read all the other responses first. And 9 times out of 10, @Ed Seith has said exactly what I want to say. Or something so close that there is no reason for me to respond. And yes, sometimes he says things I wish I had thought of. While it's...

    Sunday thought to encourage other students

    Beautiful! And so true! Playing guitar is therapeutic. My guitar is my shrink. When I'm sad, lonely, confused, depressed, or just need to recharge my batteries - there is something about that connection that always works. It's our true North. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Wishing you the...

    How long does it take to become good(advanced)

    We are all lifelong students. And if we are tackling something new, then we ARE "beginners" in a sense. I think that's what Syn meant. He is certainly not a beginner when it comes to metal and he is not a beginner when it comes to technique , but as he started to pursue jazz - I think he...

    Amp advice

    I have both. No comparison. Axe-FX is all I use in the studio. I've done a ton of sessions, movie soundtracks, etc., as well as live gigs. My Kemper just collects dust.

    My daughter is in a new music video

    Hi all! So my daughter (McKenna) went to MI with these two guys - Alex Cain and Jake Bonesteel. They heard her sing at school and asked if she would be on their album once they put their band together and got some traction. So a year later they called her and she met them in the studio and laid...

    mixing and mastering my band at home

    Make sure you are using the entire stereo spectrum on your mix. Then - buy iZotope Ozone 9. You don't need the pro version - which is pricey (unless you can afford it). You can get the "elements" version for around $120. Game changing mastering software. WAVES is also great for the price. They...

    And here is a PDF of the same thing in minor. Same drill.

    Extended Arpeggios in a Single Postion – Lesson 51

    Great advice! Certain players have "go to" shapes and positions. The only way you can get that sound is to play it exactly the same way.

    Color Tone - Lesson 4

    At the point of giving up.

    I quit twice this week. Not being a smart-ass. I literally set my guitar down and said what's the point - TWICE. Picked it back up this morning and was quite pleased. This is the life we've chosen.

    Extended Arpeggios in a Single Postion – Lesson 51

    As a matter of fact. Yes. Just posted it below.

    Extended Arpeggios in a Single Postion – Lesson 51

    We need to do more than just just memorize positions & fingerings - we need to actually use them in our playing. If you're playing a song that has the chords D & G - make some new positions "part of the furniture". In other words, integrate them into the song. The more you actually use them in a...

    Got it. Lemme think on it.

    Extended Arpeggios in a Single Postion – Lesson 51

    What exactly are you having trouble with? Playing triads in different positions and inversions? The names of the notes in each triad? Be more specific and I'll try to help. : ) PG

    Comment by 'Brian Haner Sr.' in media 'Learning to play Alternate Picking I the correct way'

    Exactly. They both have their place. Economy works best in groups of three. Alt works best in 2s & 4s. So playing your usual 3 notes per string is going to be harder to alt pick - but worth the struggle.
