    Songwriting

    He's talking about looping the same pattern over and over for a few hundred bars, and just playing the part over and over to see how it morphs for you. It's a good way to fine-tune a riff, or variations on a riff. I also use something like that to figure out where to go next sometimes - I just...

    Two New Chords – E & Am – Lesson 13

    First string or sixth string? Sixth is the thick 'un, the low E.

    Schecter Hellwin

    As others have said, they're no longer made. And the ones that are out there are loved. You may see one go up from time to time when someone needs cash, but they're just really amazing sounding amps, and people don't get rid of them unless they have to.

    Eddie Van Halen Tributes

    I may be in... Going to try my hand at - at least part of - Finish What Ya Started. It's way outside my rock and metal comfort zone.

    Tour Update from the Band - Fan Email

    I do wonder about this line, and why they left it this way, though: " We feel the music we have created is _______. "

    Tour Update from the Band - Fan Email

    Nah. There's talk about "meticulously working on music." Banging on a low D for 40 minutes and the engineer quantizing it to the drums is not meticulous.

    Apparently, sitting at a desk all day for 20 years is bad for you. Who knew? (and yes, I work out and cycle religiously, but oh well).

    And I tried this section with outside picking. By the second repetition, without fail, my subconscious economy picks the notes from the B string back to E and screws up the whole pattern. I'm not even an especially good economy picker. Fuckin brains, man. I don't understand 'em. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

    RIP EVH

    The funny thing about Ed is that you simply couldn't hate him, no matter what. He wasn't polarizing in any way, because in addition to being amazing, that grin was just so goddamn disarming. How could you ever be mad at that face? Even Valerie couldn't stay mad at him, even if she couldn't stay...

    I started doing physical therapy today, on my left arm shoulder, which has been problematic since January, and on my left knee, which has been problematic since before you were born, but got especially ornery when I tried to start running a month or so ago. I'll be good as used in eight weeks!

    Extreme improv Challenge 👺👺👹👹😱😱

    I haven't really done ANY of these, but I had time and interest this afternoon, so I sat down and did the one for 85. As always, I think there's a few really good moments - islands of goodness in the ocean of diarrhea. As always with the bits that are sweepy in nature, I have no idea what the...

    Home Studio Tour! :D

    no wonder your videos are so professional. In addition to having great gear, you're also incredibly well ORGANIZED! I'd love to see some kind of demo of the "Guitar Wing." What does it do?

    Overview - Lesson 1

    Yes, Soundslice (our video provider) does not allow video to play in Indonesia. You will have to connect to the site through a VPN to play the videos. We have many people from many different countries who have to to do this. We apologize, but there's nothing we can do about it.

    Lots of good bones in this. The lack of confidence shows, but that comes with doing it more. I'd also recommend you always keep the kick or the snare in mind to keep yourself focused on where you are in a measure. Bends are good and the vibrato is getting solid!
