    That's okay, keep going back and forth so you're not tied down to just one feel. It will be better in the long run.

    That would be fun, but I can go either way.

    Double tracking and timing issues

    learning to play to a metronome or drummer (or drum track) is absolutely VITAL for any guitarist. I find that sometimes if I'm double-tracking guitars, it actually helps to NOT hear the already recorded guitar in my playback. That way, I can focus on the drums and bass, just like when I recorded...

    Comment by 'Ed Seith' in media 'PROGRESS: A Beginners Journey'

    So much growth and progress, I *LOVE* this, Alicia! Your hard work and bravery always shine through, and you have so much more confidence. I think a lot of players fail to realize that, especially in rock and metal, CONFIDENCE sells the performance. CONFIDENCE is what turns a bad note into "Fuck...

    A WAKE-UP CALL TO SHY BEGINNERS!!!: Please, DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHOW YOUR MISTAKES

    I think posts like this are why @Syn Gates and @Brian Haner Sr. started this school. Truly awesome post, and I loved reading it.

    Mega-props for diving in with a busted pinky. That's nuts! I don't want to say anything, because I have no idea how well you'd play it if your pinky was unbound and useful. Hardcore.

    Nice tone. Timing is not bad for no metronome. Have you improved your palm muting? you don't say exactly how old this is.

    Sounds killer!

    The Stage turns 4!

    The Stage is still (and probably always will be) the last physical CD I bought. I had pre-ordered it online. When it came in the mail, I waited until after work, and told my wife I was going for a drive to listen to the new album. I put the top down (it was probably already down - I live in...

    Muting lesson

    A lot of the video links got lost in the migration to the current iteration of the site in late 2019. This post is from before then. Ids will have to find the video and report the link, which would not be a bad thing to do.

    Eddie Van Halen Tributes

    Fender Strats don't have the features I want. I found the Strat I wanted when I bought this EBMM. Roasted flamed neck, STAINLESS FRETS, and active hum cancelling on the single coil pickups are a great recipe for a better Strat than a Strat! I also looked at the PRS Silver Sky, but balked at a...

    Two New Chords – E & Am – Lesson 13

    Okay, so the smallest string is best muted either by touching it with a finger from the fretting hand (not using the "high arch" hand position) or the pinky and ring finger on the picking hand, or a combination of both!

    Eddie Van Halen Tributes

    Since everyone seems to be posting progress videos, here's mine. This is a style I don't think I've ever attempted. If I did ANYTHING like this, I haven't touched it since the mid-90s, at the latest, so go easy on me. The tone is a "country twang" for a Strat that I downloaded from the Fractal...

    Went looking for the video and... umm, wow. The actual song starts at about 1:45. Holy shit, what a weird video.

    sounds great! Where's the distortion so it's Van Halen and not Roy Orbison??

    RiffChallenge Reloaded

    This is a great start, Ari, and your strumming is keeping time with the background music, which is harder than most people think. I did notice, however, that you have a habit of pulling the thicker strings sharp when you're fretting the chords. Try to work on just pressing DOWN to the fretboard...
