Everyone plays guitar these days, or at least tries to, which makes it much more unappealing to pursue musically.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck, for what its worth.

Metal fans, check out my band!

Trying to conform with non-conformity?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's just a hobby really :P Not like I looked at the whole wide range of instruments and said I need to play the guitar.

Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time.

I stuck a little microphone up next to the amp (I really thought it'd sound crappier, since this was a really cheap microphone that came with a webcam a long time ago) and recorded it with Audacity

Not bad :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I play guitar alot (I know, weird huh? lol), but I usually try to play some Metallica / Three Days Grace songs, which i mostly learned myself by listening to the songs over and over again :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck with your progress, i'll check in now and then to see how you're doing :)

Not too shabby, keep at it! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've played the classical guitar for a while now, i'm doing my Grade 5 soon. I bought an electric a year or so ago, didn't play it much but i've picked it up again for music GCSE performances and compositions and whatnot. The amps broken though atm so i have to borrow the schools.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My latest thing i'm trying to learn is Pinball Wizard, Townshend is a god :P

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

Very nice for day 2, you already outshine the guys in Bloodhound Gang :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Please dont turn out as the guys in Necromagus thread.)

Lol. Remember, when it comes to playing guitar, you will always be better than me.

I've been playing for years. 8)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have fun learing the ways of the guitar lol

Good stuff ... were you trying to play a riff from a particular song in Day 4?

Heh, learning guitar was the most satisfying thing I ever did... Good luck!

no way. No one likes the didgeridoo. didgeridoos can go to hell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but really if your just starting riffs that are easy play are some of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's riffs.

I could record my drum routines, but I don't feel like buying any decent drum mikes :P If I was to just just cheap mikes all you'd hear would be the echo of the snare in my small room :P

I'm not sure i'd agree with that. Chili's use a lot of finger picking, i've always advised people to learn songs by people like Nirvana or Green Day, mainly because they use power chords (for the most part), and any solo's they play are easy to figure out.

Nice start man, keep my posted on MSN of your progress :P

Californication (plus the solo), Otherside, By the Way, Under the Bridge, Save the Population were pretty easy riffs beginners could probably learn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll just say some of their riffs are easy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUT DO NOT PLAY GREENDAY RIFFS BECAUSE GREENDAY SUCKS.

well, a vast majority play rock styles. Not so many play classical. Then you have your subset that play folk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone out there that play folk rock tunes? Y'know, acoustic stuff of the '70s... Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, James Taylor...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

oh. I must be showing my age...
