    Feeling bummed

    Thanks for the advice I'll check into it 😁 I'm looking into finding virtual instruments I can play around with to make this happen. The only thing I know how to play is guitar but I want to add bass and drums into the mix with it. So any virtual bass programs I can look into as well?

    Feeling bummed

    I've been pretty hard on myself lately. Mainly because I thought I had found a band that wanted to get serious about writing some songs together but turns out no one wanted to take it seriously at all. The drummer (if you can even call him that) doesn't have a drum set because its "at his...

    Overview of the Circle of 5ths – Lesson 37

    I've also looked at the circle in this way but more in the sense of looking at it like a piece of pie (just easier for me that way) I'll have to try the I-IV-V out but how I was taught to look at it is to look at it like a slice of pie. For example if you're playing in the key of C the chords...

    My Guitar

    I've been a bit inactive lately on the forums while I go through the lessons again so I thought I'd share the story of my favorite guitar "Doll". I named my guitar after the love of my life who has also been my wife for the past 7 years. I got this guitar during the month of our 5 year...

    Overview of The CAGED System – Lesson 23

    I always got confused when it came to the shapes because I was always taught to think in chords and after reviewing this lesson about 4 or 5 times now I realized something that makes a lot more sense to me. Now correct me if I'm wrong BUT I'm pretty sure moving it up will follow the musical...

    BEETLEJUICE, by Danny Elfman

    I love Danny Elfman but have you ever listened to Yuka Kitamura? Fantastic composer with a very dark and gothic style. Some of my pieces can be found in the Dark Souls 3 video game.

    Good licks?

    Thank you all so much for the advice I'll definitely check out reaper I've heard good things about it. I'm pretty bummed out at the moment because the band I was supposed to be writing songs with just isn't as interested in the writing process as I am but then I thought to my self...why do I...

    Pedal setup

    Well what's some good pedals to get if you know nothing about them? How would I go about using them in terms of connecting pedals to my amp? I mean honestly my knowledge on pedals is zero and I have no idea where to start when it comes to pedals. My amp has effect dials but turning dials isn't...

    Pedal setup

    I know nothing about pedals but have no way to learn about them. If anyone on this thread could help me out it would be appreciated

    Good licks?

    Anyone have any suggestions to some licks or phrases that would be good to practice? Over the weekend I learned a few licks and phrases. Got tired of trying to dedicate myself to just one song and just started picking things that I like to play and learned what I could over the weekend. I'll...

    Finding a song

    Its been a while since I've had to dedicate time to learn a song so I'm still at the point where no matter what I'll have to slow it down below 75% but once I get into the habit of finding those chords again I'll be back to learning songs quickly. I haven't played guitar since I was 16 when I...

    Finding a song

    Anyone else start learning a little bit with what you're doing with the guitar and then you go to learn a song but a week later you're just like "nah fuck that I'm going to learn this song instead" and then later down the road you drop that song for another one and just end up finding it hard to...

    Phrasing and Dynamics

    I haven't reached the seven positions yet. I'm still memorizing the notes on the fretboard and learning to use the circle of fifths. But thanks for the heads up I'll have to start looking into those lessons soon. Currently I'm still trying to decide what my first cover song should be and so far...

    Phrasing and Dynamics

    I've also started using the pentatonic solo patterns to help improve my solos so far I still sound pretty mediocre but it's coming together. I've also been looking into licks that have a somewhat repeating pattern that can be used in different positions.

    Play Along Excercises

    Yes interactive play along video lessons are very helpful in my honest opinion!

    Play Along Excercises

    I think the idea of play along exercises should be discussed. I know one thing that has helped me over the years whether I'm practicing guitar licks or drum rudiments is when my mentor or even sometimes the teacher in a YouTube video takes a simple exercise that can greatly improve a number of...
