    Seize the Day Solo

    Kinda hard to hear you over the backing track in many places, but from watching your hands, I'd suggest working on your vibrato a bit. It's the seasoning on your salad, the cheese on your burger, the rock in your roll. Vibrato is probably the single most important part of being an expressive...

    Mixing

    For this, you don't want a compressor. You want to adjust the output volume on your distortion pedal. Make it so the change from clean to dirty tones is at a volume you want.

    Important Strumming Patterns – Lesson 19

    Scraping the index finger. Hmmm. You're doing something not-right here. The idea here is that you're sort of maintaining the tick-tock pattern of consistent up and down strokes. Since it's one and two and, all of your upstrokes are on "and" and all the downstrokes are on a number. So when you...

    Which players would you say defined you as a player?

    Great question. Being a fellow old, I'll take PG's decade by decade approach. I started playing in 1984. The guitar solos that made me want to play guitar were Dire Straits "Sultans of Swing" and REO Speedwagen's "Keep on Loving You." My biggest influences in the: 80s: Dave Murray and Adrian...

    Which players would you say defined you as a player?

    Jewel's first album was beautiful, and then the Machine ruined her. Scotti writes the most amazing phrasing.

    Does Tone Affect the Quality of a Cover?

    As others have said, there's a big difference between tone and audio quality, so I won't get into that. Sticking with tone, however, I can tell you that I have 4 basic tones: super clean, clean with a little breakup, heavy rhythm, and lead. Just about everything I do is with one of those four...

    Hello, Kittens :)

    Reading posts like this reminds me why I'm grateful for Aspergers. The closest I've come to really getting caught up in social media is getting a little too argumentative about politics there, and even that could be linked more back to general frustration in life as opposed to SM being the...

    The grammys

    The Grammys are to music awards what Rolling Stone is to music in general - effete, wholly out of touch and not nearly as knowledgeable as they pretend to be. Both are garbage when it comes to music.

    Picking technique

    Look into Tosin Abasi's picking as well. Dude's a monster from another planet.

    Midlife Reboot

    Welcome, fellow old! I'm 50. Started playing in the mid-80s, gigged heavy in the 90s and then kinda STOPPED for 10 years until I realized I didn't want to be someone who "used to play guitar." I'm better at some things than the first time around, and not as good at others. Age has...

    Whats Ur Girlfriend or boyfriends name and whats there fav a7x song

    My wife's name is Lisa, and even though she's met Syn ("he smells fantastic"), she wouldn't know Avenged Sevenfold from Five Finger Prostate Punch. In fact, as we were about to meet Syn, I realized why my daughter didn't really care - wifey had told her we were meeting "the guitarist from...
