    Burnt out

    I do this but out of fear in a way because there is so much to do and it can feel daunting. Don’t let it defeat you, even just playing a different style or a new technique, Maybe get into theory more to give you more access to the fret board?I just say to myself “You need to get better” and if I...

    How to get "feel" in your playing??

    Whenever I play with emotion its mainly just the “I smelled s**t face” but I genuinely feel hatred when I play some riffs XD. Emotion is one strange thing.

    How to get "feel" in your playing??

    try and find a backing track you can connect with, just something that has loads of emotion that you can compliment, It doesn’t have to be a really complex thing you play, just something that serves the song. Try to focus on practising bending in pitch and vibrato as well.

    I Can't Play My Own Solos and it's Holding my music back

    I have had the same problem in the past when I have written solos, in one instance there was a really quick pentatonic run that kept going back on itself and I sat there and thought “Well this is a bit stupid of me” but its just about perseverance and not giving up, now I can play it pretty much...

    Sweeping and getting out of the box

    Try and write out the minor pentatonic and its relative major combined into one and this will help add extra notes into your playing and will help you see where arpeggios can be made! Hope this helps

    What are you currently listening to?

    The second solo and the arpeggiated chords before and after it are some of my favourite guitar sections of all time.

    Always makes me laugh when people take shots at line 6

    Glenn Fricker has a huge grudge against line 6 and I feel that from a producers point of view it may be a valid point but for a lot of people they are using it at home and don’t have the budget to own amps such as a revv generator or Mesa boogie. If he was to go back to that situation he would...
