Practicing Too Much & My New Guitar Idol
@Aileé Guerra Aréizaga and I will have to respectfully disagree to your respectful disagreement! ... Jk. I know from your media you have a good background in what your saying so I trust what you're saying and agree with many talking points. I have zero experience in the realm and my background...- Kai C

Practicing Too Much & My New Guitar Idol
"It's mostly about finding the right things to practice and practice what you love and want to learn." This is some sage advice from the man himself, thank you for sharing that first off! I can relate in many other ways, like my other hobbies and work: the drive to constantly improve kills the...- Kai C

CAGED System – The C Shape – Lesson 24
Papa Gates has probably the best lessons out there, hands down.... If you are already have somewhat of a base line. The first time running through the beginners lessons I had to keep a Google tab open ready to look shit up at all times. I still feel like I'm working on my baseline so I haven't...- Kai C

CAGED System – The C Shape – Lesson 24
What specifically are you struggling with? Like the other guys said it's rewarding when it finally clicks. Didn't make sense to me the first time either. You gotta rewatch a few times, pause and practice based on the diagrams even when you don't understand what the hell he's talking about...- Kai C

The pursuit of playing fast!
Hmm interesting things here to think about :unsure: I'm away for work right now with no guitar to play on so I'm worried any progress I have made might diminish, but that just means there's something to work up to again. As someone prone to muscle tension and the pain resulting, I'm going to...- Kai C

Long-ass Guitar Confession/Practice Advice Needed :)
So far I've met 3 people who have been playing for years, and they're finger work is phenomenal. They can play some mean covers. I've asked if they can teach me anything and the response has been "dude just look at the tabs". But it's blown their minds that if I took a riff they just played and...- Kai C

Long-ass Guitar Confession/Practice Advice Needed :)
As @Steven Bellah just said, a songwriter's opinion would be a valuable asset here. It's been 9 months now since I began playing the instrument and joined the school. Most every day I'm drawn a few minutes at a time to picking up my guitar and having legitimate fun. So a few months into...- Kai C

Excellent job! I think with practice the alt picking would be more natural. You would have to move your hand a lot less than just down stroking, so the rhythm would be easier to keep.- Kai C

“Feeling” and “emotion” in music.
Right?! He's such a talented player. It makes me want to try and learn some of the techniques he uses. There's a whole lot of finger tapping style and finger picking in general.- Kai C

“Feeling” and “emotion” in music.

Comment by 'Kai C' in media 'pentatonic VII'
Sorry if I'm not communicating that well, I'll try to post a video later if it's not too painful... I threw out my shoulder at work. Pretty much when you follow one position on the scale going either up or down your fingers are long enough and stretch enough that you don't have to move your...- Kai C

I have 2 webcams. The grainy, front shot is from the computers and the second angle is from a Razer webcam I got on sale last cyber Monday. I used open broadcaster to set up both in one recording along with a mic- Kai C

Comment by 'Kai C' in media 'pentatonic VII'
Haha, no need. I was trying to do a different Pentatonic etude and had trouble reaching without moving my hand. So I was examining your video very closely to see your hand placement and movement, and sure enough your fingers seem to stretch to infinity. Meanwhile your hand placement doesn't...- Kai C

Amp advice
The AxeFx seems like the perfect system to be honest, it's just out of my price range to buy on a whim. I'd need to plan for it. I believe the future is in digital toning instead of analog, but that's a separate conversation entirely. I have a Boss Katana 50w and it's pretty awesome. All Katana...- Kai C
