    The one big question (answer pls)

    Speaking as an absolute beginner. The only reason I actually committed to buying and learning guitar was because of this website. I knew these lesson structures were the one when the very first lesson was teaching you how to properly hold a guitar and a pick lol. Though the internet is a...

    Advanced Negative to Positive

    People here have said good things that don’t need to be repeated . But I walked down a path in the past that is worth mentioning I think Do you drink or do any drugs? For some people that can really exacerbate symptoms. If you answer rarely or occasionally - ask yourself if that’s true? I used...

    Quick question to y’all folks: When playing a sequence of notes quickly in 5 adjacent frets (imagine like 7-6-5-4-3 any string), how do you end up fingering them? Which finger slides over?

    The Stage turns 4!

    Lol no shame, same thing happened with me. I actually loosely stopped following the band after 2010 ish/post Nightmare (you guys probably know why). Sometime randomly within the last 1-2 years I wanted to see what the band was up to. (This is partially what led me here!) That was the first...

    Boss Metal Zone Distortion pedal

    So... here is the backstory. I have a colleague in my building that collects guitars and I asked him about pedals. He gave me a couple of his personal recommendations for distortion pedals. I go onto Facebook and I see someone down the street from me selling a BOSS Metal Zone pedal. I go back...

    EDDIE VAN HALEN TRIBUTE CONTEST ANNOUNCED!

    So I redid my intro to Hear about it later... and learned the second part now that we had time to resubmit it! The only thing is apparently I still get hard red light syndrome and become butterfingers when I want to record the whole thing in one take. So I thought ...whatever! I’ll split it up...

    A WAKE-UP CALL TO SHY BEGINNERS!!!: Please, DON'T BE AFRAID TO SHOW YOUR MISTAKES

    Speaking as someone who is shy to post... Haha It must be some extension to social media pressures. Posting imperfect things etc. I’ll have to slowly absorb your post and see if it changes anything in me :)

    EDDIE VAN HALEN TRIBUTE CONTEST ANNOUNCED!

    I’ll repost if I have to, but I feel like this is a chance to step up my game! Just still a bit camera shy lolll

    Muting lesson

    So, I'm trying to be a good forum user by using the search function first (But also maybe I'm not so good by reviving 1.5 year old threads) Am I blind? Is/was there a lesson in the original post @Ids Schiere ? Lol (I was trying to look for threads about palm muting)

    Eddie Van Halen Tributes

    here is my beginners level contribution...I don’t have confidence in myself learning the rest of the intro at a half respectable speed and playing it in a presentable manner for the camera... so here’s mine legit just playing the first 8 bars... LOL

    Eddie Van Halen Tributes

    I’m attempting the intro to Hear about it later (attempting to play it at full speed that is). I also thought about maybe doing some drumming, but that wouldn’t be directly an EVH tribute?

    Overview of The Pentatonic Scale – Lesson 20

    Honestly I think it’s perfectly fine to move to the next lesson before 100% nailing everything in it. just remember to not forget about it. Just like in school you don’t only go to the next lesson when you’ve mastered one lecture or chapter, you move on but review your notes (or in this case...

    🤘NEXT MASTERCLASS DETAILS ARE HERE🤘

    I would have loooooved to be a part of this, they say over and over again that the major scale is pretty important in the world of music and I bet Bill would be able to eloquently explain why that is. Hell I remember learning about the major scale when I was in a class as a DRUMMER back in...

    I can’t practice much right now due to a recent injury, but that did give me a lot of time to reflect on my guitar journey. It makes me laugh to think back to once upon a time when I had problems fingering the G chord shape and my fingers felt like they were gonna be split apart fingering the D...

    How Is Everyone Doing?

    it’s crazy to think that we’re all trying to go back to a new normal and yet the C-word has completely ravaged my department at work between supply chain issues and preparing for the flu season... lots of overtime being done here! That was my excuse for not practising as much. Right now my...

    Red Light Syndrome

    Speaking with experience from my native instrument and having performance anxiety on camera and in crowds....this advice actually probably hardly helps but you gotta eventually ignore it lmao. Find a position where the camera works well, put it there, hit record...do a bunch of takes in one...
