I've Got a REALLY Exciting Idea!!

Good job Juan! As Jak said, you are changing your chords really well. My observation would be to relax your strumming hand and wrist, your fingers on that hand are slightly raised and the wrist needs to be very loose to play rhythm.
PS. Your daughter’s voice in the background is so cute!

Hey Juan, i’m going to nominate someone else in my place.
I’m going through a hard time right now so I’m taking a break from social circumstances until it gets resolved. I nominate Calvin in my place.

Heads up.. I’m aiming for the weekend to post. I had the entire weekend overtime so I’m exhausted. But I will post something.. a bit different I guess then my usual improvs. I’ll think about it for the week.
Let’s all give Jake some best wishes. Life is unbelievably hard at times.. well honestly most of it. Hard to trust and be yourself. But we push through. And become stronger. Become unbreakable.

SO, I know I said I’d try to do something a bit different. Was gonna start the video off with a brief auto bio but my phone doesn’t wanna connect to a PC so I cant add a video to my pc from my phone. So I’ll just type it.
Been on and off playing for probably 11 to 12 years now. Always loved to play but always found things overlapped too much hobby wise. For a while I realized gaming took over. WOW for about 3 years straight. But I cant really say I regret it the game taught me my leadership skills. Since I’ve moved back from alberta the past 4 years or so I’ve been taking it more serious. This school has pushed me beyond my limits already that I never thought imaginable. And the scary part is I’ve BARELY TOUCHED THE LESSONS. I started with all the beginngers. Altho I never mastered them, I did a brief run down, wrote down patterns, and so forth. I mapped out the entire fret pattern to all the base scales.. major and minor. That helped me figure out finger position and patterns that are easier to play then others. Altho I’m not 100% on the names of the notes, I am getting better with the patterns. And I figured out that once you learn one scale, the rest become easier because most patterns are similar. Few are really different its just different positions on the fret boards.
A few trivia things that you probably dont know.

This was my ORIGINAL music page. Almost every recording here is guitar pro. This is how I wrote when I first started out. I didn’t know a thing about anything I just did what sounded good. MOST songs sound the same now, but are played to scales and I’ve rewritten parts to be easier to play. There are a lot of weird sweeps in there that probably aren’t even real lol. I think one or two is really me. But I’ve learned to play all the songs since moving back, and have been recording them recently again but better. I’ve been learning slowly how to improve my recordings and lately I’ve been really enjoying the turn outs. I think if I was into music easier in my life I’d be pushing to be a producer. They have a crazy hard time consuming job that takes a lot of detail. The breakdown videos are a huge example of how much work goes into one song. The amount of tracks alone blow me away. I do maybe 15 I think they do more like 50 lol.

My FAVOURITE Avenged song. This is my when I didn’t really know ANYTHING about anything. The first verse I didn’t know at all.. .I dont think I even ever looked it up. But this is my original youtube page. THat has a LOT of terrible recordings. But boy was it a LOT of fun. Have a laugh.
Onto the video I actually recorded. As most know, I’ve been jamming G minor for months now. This video is another one in that scale. The difference is I decided to use all 3 of my guitars. And they are all tuned different. lol. Bottom is drop D, top right Drop C, and D standard top left.

Good times. I hope everyone is having a happy holiday.
I’m gonna nominate Sayonil. I dont think he has gone yet, I cant remember but I wanna hear what he can bring to the table. I always enjoy his tone as well.
