    I’m an Idiot.

    If there’s one thing I’m really really horrible at, its Guitar Maintenance (Specifically Changing Strings) Today I changed my strings, I did the little loop thing that some guy from youtube told me, to keep the strings in tune. When I got to my High E string. I snapped off the slack at the end...

    Picking Problems!

    I’ve been having picking problems for the last couple of weeks. My pick always gets stuck on strings whenever I play. Its getting pretty annoying, I tried everything I could search up. I tilted my pick a certain angle, I made it show only a little bit of the tip. I loosen my fingers, I lose...

    My first actual written full solo.

    I wrote a solo for Mr. Bungle’s Retrovertigo. I know, it doesn’t need one because it already sounds awesome it is. But everytime I listen to the song, I have this melody over my head that I just cannot not play. I know for most of you guys on here, sounds like your regular morning improv. And...

    samuraiguitarist?

    Been watching this guy for a couple of months now, he’s amazing. He takes classic songs and converts them into a beautifully arranged jazz/blues tune. He puts a lot of effort on his art, his latest video as of right now was started since last year of November. Other than covers, he also does...

    Anyone know what guitar model this is?

    During the making of the “Brompton Cocktail” video, you could see Syn use a guitar that could be heard in the intro of the song (The one with some kind of sustaniac). Does anyone know the exact model of the guitar?

    Natural Notes???

    One of the methods I was told to do so I could memorize the fretboard was to “Remember” all the natural notes on all strings. I just want to make sure this is right before I go on continuing my practice on this. Please tell me if I’m doing it correctly. Thank you.

How did you deal with it? As a beginner myself, it’d...

    Ear

    What are the circumstances where a person couldn’t learn a solo or a lick or a riff by ear note for note (other than the solo not existing there in the first place) and usually is just impossible? Or could the ear still overcome that?

    Toxic Trolls

    The way I see it, the SGS school is a peaceful and small community (compared to the whole a7x fanbase) I’ve been on youtube looking at the comments of a7x related videos and I always see these toxic trolls who’d try their best to piss people off. I’ve seen one guy literally make fun of the Rev’s...
