    Ear Training

    I’ve been trying to practice ear training but I don’t really know where to start. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to practice or any tips or anything?

    A moment of your time

    Thanks so much for the motivation! I can tell you put a lot of thought into writing that. You gave me a different perspective on my own playing. I’ll do your task as well: I think a strength of mine is being able to lock into a groove. When I started playing I had awful rhythm but it’s something...

    I'm Giving up guitar sorry

    Even if you can only practice for ten minutes a day, you’ll improve. Spend time that you would use watching TV or being on the internet to practice. Also, if you want to practice 20 minutes a day but don’t think you have the time, try finding two ten minute periods. Try to maximize what you can...

    I'm Giving up guitar sorry

    No! Don’t do that! Most musicians go through what you’re going through, it’s commonly referred to as a rut or plateau. It’s a hard thing to get through, but you’ll be a much better musician if you can. What might be helpful is to go back to what inspired you to pick up guitar in the first place...

    Can anyone give some tips on writing a guitar solo?

    It might be helpful to decide on a central theme for the solo that you really like (it could be a melody, lick, whatever you want, usually something that relates to the rest of the song) and then base the solo off of that. You can kind of build around that central theme and keep coming back to...

    opinions on different kinds of picks?

    I don’t know if anyone has asked this, but I want to know if anyone has any recommendations or opinions on picks. I personally like these John Petrucci signature picks, they’re jazz IIIs but I think they’re a little bigger than the usual size. Any opinions on any sorts of picks? 🙂

    Need Help With a Band Name :(

    Try using one of those band name generator things, you can get some pretty hilarious ideas out of those and an occasional good one. My favorite one I’ve ever gotten is White Sabbath (totally not a rip-off of Black Sabbath). 🙂

    How much do looks matter to you?

    The look of the guitar is important. You’re probably going to be more motivated to play if you look at your guitar and you like the way it looks. You can have the best sounding guitar in the world but you’re probably not going to want to play it if you don’t like the way it looks.

    AMP suggestion

    The Boss Katana is a great choice. It’s easy to get a good tone out of those (especially if it’s your first time playing electric) and it comes with a bunch of built in effects. I wouldn’t recommend the Line 6 Spiders because it’s really difficult to get a usable tone out of those and there are...
