    No Show 😭😭😭😭

    Ive played in bands over the years and that happens all the time. Even when we did get shows, some of them we would be playing to only a handful of people, to which only 1 or 2 were listening lol. Just keep applying for shows, writing music and advertising yourself, they will come over time...

    Big advice

    Well said. I spent too long in my early years trying to sound like slash, not realising I should be finding my own voice. This is why now I get not to learn solos note for note. I try to learn the main parts of the solo but add my own little parts in there. I’ve found this can also help with...

    Anyone else with a similar experience?

    I would say that if you find you can follow along then you have improved. But also remember with YouTube you can slow down the videos. It does make them speak slightly wierd but at least you can keep up with the notes easier.

    Changing picking style for different techniques

    I do the same. I only found out there was a different (or correct) way to hold the pick when I came to this site. When I’m tremolo picking, strumming I hold the pick with my index and thumb. I find this much easier for speed picking as u can angle the pick a little. For economy picking and...

    Community riffs

    Anyone else having problems on the riff page? Not all, but most off the videos posted, I cant see them. I can see the text that you guys write underneath but the video isn’t showing?

    Most fun to play A7X Song?

    Personally I like to play along to The Stage, Betrayed (I love the intro riff and wish they’d do it live), Critical Acclaim, Higher and I love to play along to the solo from Acid Rain.

    Morality and music creation programs

    I would say of course you can call yourself a music creator. In fact, I’m sure, but I could he wrong but deadmau5 creates all his music electronically. He admits to not being a good piano player so spends his time drawing everything in. Regardless of whether you can play an instrument is...

    I'm leaving my final post

    Dude, i think what you are doing is a huge mistake. Don’t get me wrong I and everyone will, and do respect your decision but i think its the wrong one. You shouldn’t be here from a competitive stand point. No matter what peoples skill levels we should all be building each other up and feeling...

    New slash ft. Myles Kennedy and the conspirators record😄

    I know what you mean. To be honest I think it’s more slash than anyone else. It’s just a standard slash song really.

    The high E string of my gitane broke😢😭

    Might be worth still playing. Working out what you can play without it. If you was playing live and your E string broke you’d need to style it out like nothing happened.
