JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADWell, practice makes perfect doesn't it?Thanks but I still struggle with it. Even easy rhythm Tracks are a real Challenge to play to a Metronome or backing track
Ooh, vibrato, bends and slides are all good ones! They add so much feel and depth to your playing! Aah let it be should become my life song, I'm not that great at letting things beAs Alicia, I'm working on motivationrecently I've not been practising enough but I hope I'll get there. When I practice I work on the Warmness on the soul solo (vibratos and slides). I'm also trying to figure out bending and when I feel motivated enough I try to learn a new song. I recently tried let it be by the beatles. And yesterday I tried with can't stop by RHCP (didn't learn it yet tho, I'll get there ahah right now it seems really difficult for me).
Aah, it's good to stay optimistic!I went through a period of focusing on alternate picking then decided that playing guitar was getting too hard on my bad shoulder so now I'm taking a break to focus on physical therapy & recovery. It's a pretty common thing for me. Recently my shoulder has overall been better than any time in the last 7 years so I'm leaning towards optimistic.
Nice! Do you plan on making a progress video?Working on M.I.A.
I can play all the solo now, but I am focusing on playing it really clean to get the sound of every note perfectly.
Probably won't get to it any time soon
I am really shy and bad at video making.Nice! Do you plan on making a progress video?
Yeah it really is! Loads of interesting duals & bend work. The hardest part is trying to pinpoint exactly where on the neck certain licks happen, as the Guitar tone kinda changes throughout - so I was back & forth from the recording to a live video last night trying to match everything upNice! That's a cool solo tho
You should probably wear socksI usually say I will but never do because I am always getting cold feet
Aah that's cool! I usually just look for the right notes and play it in a way that's comfortable to me when I learn a soloYeah it really is! Loads of interesting duals & bend work.

Aah cool! Haven't listened to that song in a while, probably should again. I do love sexy-sax so I'm excited to hear you play it!The Mad Hatter solo. I’ve got it down for the most part. I’m mainly just working on all the embellishments, getting each and every bend to sound as sexy-sax as it does in the recording haha.
I love solos like that, where they’re not just straight for and so much of the character is truly in how it’s played and each and every embellishment.
Have you ever heard the song “Year of the Cat” by Al Stewart? The sax solo in that one is top notch!Aah cool! Haven't listened to that song in a while, probably should again. I do love sexy-sax so I'm excited to hear you play it!
No I haven't but I'll look it upHave you ever heard the song “Year of the Cat” by Al Stewart? The sax solo in that one is top notch!
I'm probably the same as you with that haha, I just get picky students sometimes so I try to be as to the book as possibleAah that's cool! I usually just look for the right notes and play it in a way that's comfortable to me when I learn a solo
I got a similar situation, I was sitting on the floor practicing Gojira stuff. My already bad shoulder was getting worse and became painful after a half hour-hour. Got into a fight and been physical therapy too. Body feels stronger now though and that pinched nerve feeling is gone. Just got to hold onto this regime now, it's tiring sometimes, but I think it's a good path.I went through a period of focusing on alternate picking then decided that playing guitar was getting too hard on my bad shoulder so now I'm taking a break to focus on physical therapy & recovery.
