>>153

both me. sorry guys

>>154

You can make classy looking stuff like that, too.

The tool is just fun to play with.

>>155

I wasn't trying to come off as snobby for the record. I was more just being lazy

>>697

>>listen to

alternative, elliott smith, j. mascis

>>play

learning some fingerstyle, rocksmith, lots of scales and note sequences from Guitar Grimoire exercise book.

I'm doing 'okay' self learning but plan to get some instruction soon.

>>698

fingerstyle is the shit man

ever heard of Antoine Dufour, Don Ross, or Andy Mckee?

>>699

I had to look them up. I'm not a big fan of flapdoodle percussive style like Dufour and Mckee although I realize that they are extremely talented. Don Ross is pretty awesome.

>>700

They play the exact same style anon. Dufour's greatest influence is Don Ross and Don is a one of Andy's major influences as well.

>>701

>>701

oh okay. I must have just picked a few of his more normal playing vids.

one or two of these was directionless but the 6th fret makes everything cool. This one was the 6th fret one. Sorry for mistakes I was on lots of drugs

Hi. Do you have guitar feels?

>>693

thats why the old cliche' "practice makes perfect" is just so true.

If you work through the struggle you just get better and better and better. It is all about determination and consistent practice

>>620

that's the ugliest strat iv'e ever seen

>>688

I want a hardtail jag, but they don't fucking make them anymore. Might get a luthier to build me one. I love the thick warm bluesy tone, strats are too spiky sounding to me :< plus they are a bit cliched now

>>589

I use open tunings a lot and have actually played in that tuning a bunch of times I just didnt know that wast he open C you meant.

This song is CGCGCC

>>102

>>596

That is actually a really good idea anon. Thanks for the suggestion, I just might do that.

First riff I have wrote in a long time that I felt really captures my influence from This Town Needs Guns.

You guys hear about the drummer that locked his keys in his car?

It took him four hours to get the bass player out.

Why did the bass player have trouble getting through the door?

He couldn't find the key and he didn't know when to come in.

Why can't bass players tell jokesTiming

Hoe many bass players does it take to change a lightbulb?

Just one, but the guitar player has to show him how to do it first.

Did you hear about the bass player that was SO out of tune that his band noticed?

>>642

lol these are great

This one's a little deeper but for all of you that know their theory:

A 'C', an E-flat, and a 'G' go into a bar. The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors." So, the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished: the G is out flat. An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second." An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."

The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says: "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development." This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au natural.

Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility. On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

How many guitar players does it take to change a lightbulb?

Ten.

Only one actually changes the lightbulb, but the other nine stand around and say, "pfff- I could do that."

>>671

Man I am so guilty of thinking this all the time. I usually dont ever say "I could do that" but I think it all the time when someone is wooing everyone with 4 chord songs.

>>664

Not really a joke, kind of just a long wordplay thing

>>494

Keyboard/piano is easier, at least in my opinion. Having them laid out one after the other rather than being staggered by strings like a guitar is easier to get to grips with.

Guitar's a hell of a drug though.

I'd suggest doing what the other person said - learn your scales and your chord transitions.

Then I'd suggest easy songs like Lera Lynn's "This Is My Least Favourite Life" that would probably help you transitioning between notes and chords easily.

And in between that, sit down, listen to music, hold your guitar and start trying out different rhythms with the scales. That really helped me get to grips with improvising riffs (I'm still fairly new to it myself).

>>495

Embedded for ease.

Lera Lynn's 'This Is My Least Favourite Life'

I'll try this later today, thanks anon. I don't know how to read that formatting though, don't know how to read any music yet. Maybe you can also provide a link that explains that a little bit? I'll try to search around too.

>>497

I like how classical and spanish guitar sounds. I only have an acoustic. I think I'd enjoy an electric much more, but for now I will learn acoustic.

I found most of what I like from halfchan /mu/. I really dig slint. Agolloch is cool too. I think for now I might try and mimic some nirvana unplugged songs.

A long time ago I learned chords on banjo, I still have it, I've just been focusing more on guitar and keyboard as of late, but what I'm getting at is that my finger picking is good (forward backward rolls, and that sort of thing), so maybe a style that emphasizes that?

If you know the major scale of any chords on piano means you know everything. You just have to organize your thoughts, think about intervals. Take the C chord, you know you have a tonic note(C), the third of this chord(E, cuz is major) and the fifth(G). With these informations you're gonna learn all chords. With the tonic, the third and the fifth you can make all chords.

That is the first thing that you have to concern about.

After you catch all these things, I think you have to begin to learn about time(4/4 8/8 7/8…….).

Listen I looooooot of Dream Theater.

dude has the coolest slides

:50 seconds in this one is a good one

nice stuff thanks

>>421

is he playing before the beats or am i wrong?

>>421

This fucking wanker and his faggoty wankery.

Two, maybe three (can't exactly tell due to his absolutely shit tone) power chords and random noise.

Because THAT'S going to teach viewers anything worth playing…..

>>400

you are a very good player. You have a lot of 'soul' in your performance..

Your recordings are low quality though, I know it would sound way better in person. I think you should get a nice mic and keep doing what you are doing. sounds good anon; would sound even better with a proper recording rig.

sounds really good but that video is full on faggotry

>>385

This……is not what I expected. I dig it, I really do.

Have you considered dubbing in some electric guitar leads and some percussion and turning this into one of those epic ballad types?

What I'm hearing here kind of reminds me of some later SOAD in parts, in all honesty. And I kinda like it.

Don't get me wrong, it's good as is, but I expected a big soaring climax at the end, and then maybe a slowdown into one more verse. That's what I would have done with it personally but that's why music is awesome; you can write whatever blows your hair back.

Also, one of the more competent posts I've seen yet on this entire board, skill level-wise. Very emotional piece, and that's the whole point.

as far as i know, knowing cadences will help with the understanding of modes(particularly with melody involving modes).

Why are pentatonic scales so high up on the pyramid? Are you really supposed to learn standard music notation and harmonic analysis before the minor pentatonic scale? I thought pentatonic scales were what they start children with in school music programs. Or does 'pentatonic scales theory' refer to something more complex?

I'd add up Warming up (don't try to play the hardest and fastest excercises or songs before warming up), Good Posture (shit posture will fuck up your progress and your body) and Ear Protection (especially for electric guitar players who like to play with the amp up to 11, but it goes through all our day to day activities), those are very important in the long run.

Sorry for my shit english, btw.

>>574

that chart refers to pentatonic scale theory. the actual pentanotic scale itself is easy, but understanding why it works is the harder part.
