    Feeling stuck

    The creating process is connected to the music you listen to. At some point of my guitar playing, I only played a couple of Megadeth songs, just because I liked them so much and it turned out to be quite developing for my technique, but eventually I felt that I need to taste other rhythms and...

    Feeling stuck

    Hey Austin, I used to have the same problem. Mind me asking, what music do you listen to? What bands, what genres?

This is the best form of initiation...

    Thumping and slapping that string like a boss

I had tried a bit of slapping on a bass guitar before, but thumping on a 6-string electric guitar is a...
