Hey, guys so I wanted to share with you all my progress here. Its amazing, Im fucking surprised with it! So, I was on my music school, I was the lead guitarrist for our School’s band. Awesome. And my teacher one day decided to play Stairway to Heaven on our school’s next show. So I started practising that solo. I made so much mistakes there, how I regret that… really…. This can be a good lesson for you. Dont follow my mistakes pls. So first, I started practising that WITHOUT a metronome.
That was my biggest mistake ever. I didnt eve use the metronome at that time, I was thinking that I just didnt need it. I started practising that solo at the original tempo, and that folks, is the biggest mistake ever. But I thought I was doing it right and the show came, and I sucked. Now, I can realise how bad I was…
You know when you play a solo at a fast tempo and it seems you can play it, but if you play it slower, you cant? Whats happening is that when you are playing fast, your mistakes arent noticiable, but when you play slow, every one can hear your mistakes and they are pretty noticiable. I know that cuz that shit happened to me. And live! One of biggests mistakes I did was with the bends. Guess how I played my bends… W just one finger!! Yes! Every one knows that in the bends you use the other fingers too, but at the time I didnt…. So my bends were all out of tune, and were hard to do… In some bends I played slides, because was easier… Yes, I was very smart…
I just sucked…. That solo were full of mistakes. Ill put the link of the video in the end, and you can see it.
But then my music school closed, and some time ago I joined this school, and that opened completly my eyes!!!! Was the light that I needed. I learned about the importance of the metronome, now I cant live without it XD is my best friend. I practise all exercises with it!! I learned everything I needed and I was like, I was playing so bad, I need to improve a lot!!! I made a great progress! I also started learning music theory ( Rick Beato channel). You guys are the bests!!! Im really thankfull for Syn’s and pg’s work here thanx thanx thanx guys, this school opened my eyes, without it I probably would still suck…. XD
You can see: https://youtu.be/TuP52VFAlqw this is stairway to heaven live w my music school’ band 1 year ago. They were all amazing, but I was a shit. Really, hear that solo and let it hurt your ears. BUTTTTT this is me like 3 weeks ago, Bat Coutry’s solo: https://youtu.be/7ST7kX3QGZ0
