    General songwriting tips? How to write something great?

    How to write a song? After playing enough, coming up with a good riff isn’t hard at all, but composing an entire *great* song (like anything from metallica – “the black album”, A7X songs to Ed Sheeran – “I see fire”, “halleluja”, etc) is a different story. A song is usually made from...

    Playing guitar while being drunk

    In my experience it’s just harder to focus on rhythm. Actually the more you drink the harder it is to care about it at all. But as long as you can stay on rhythm and you can still focus enough to play the right notes, drinking shouldn’t be a problem. Tho, try not to throw up if you are on...

    what is your favourite tuning?

    E standard is what I use most of the time. Tho, for me it’s just about the song or the style in what I wanna play.

    There might be another troller.

    Just scrolled down on the “community riffs” section, and found quite a few identical replies from the same guy.

    There might be another troller.

    I’ve got a non-english reply to the last riff I uploaded. Didn’t understand what it says, but there’s a link in the reply. I checked the link and it’s a bet-site. So I think we might have another troller. The reply was from: AFTERWORLD FIRE

    Some tips needed to buy a guitar

    It’s not a hard choice if you have enough money. Just make a list of what matters to you most. This is how I’d choose: Acoustic or electric? If electric: 1) Look for the shape you like most. 2) The shape of the neck. Do you like flat necks (Jacksons) or fuller ones like Gibson. 3) 25.5 or 24.75...

    Met – nothing else matters

    Well thx. I’m sure there should be an actual (precise) theory behind that Amaj. I wonder how could I use it in my own chord progressions and imrpovisations. But thx, that C# double harmonic major might be of use here for soloing at least.

    Met – nothing else matters

    I’ve transcribed nothing else matters some time now, and I’ve started studying it (music theory and production wise). Most of the theory (scales, chord functions) I understand but during the chorus there is an Amaj. From what scale does it come from, and what is its role (function)?

    what it's the most painful and hardest skill to play for you?

    Hardcore fingerstyle: playing (tapping) a base arpeggios with only the left hand (like on piano) and at the same time playing a different melody over it with the right hand by touching the strings (for ex with the right index finger) and picking into the harmonics (with another finger). On...
