Hey started learning to play the electric guitar, im a beginner now but omg it feels so good when you get a bit of a song down. Anyone here play too? (not just electric but acoustic/bass etc) :azn:
-
I’ve got three from my dad but wouldn’t know where to start. Probably going to have to sell them though to pay towards his debts
-
I used to play a bit of guitar when I was younger. But in recent years I have become more of a piano guy.
Are you taking lessons or learning from online?
-
I do, not so much lately with my studies.

just learning online little bits here and there. i recently got a new amp, the boss katana 50 mk2 and omg its so so good. so many new tones, Heavy metal, nice clean sound, i can recreate metallica, AC/DC kind of tones. my old amp just had a basic preset clean or overdrive sound. my guitar i got is still a cheap one, only about £80 pounds worth. it came as part of a pack with my old amp and some other stuff.

I love guitar! Been playing for around 20 years and I’m still just as obsessed with it haha.
Be careful once you collecting some gear though, it can get very addicting 😬

The PRS SE line are such great guitars! Really can't go wrong with them, probably some of the best value for money at the moment.
And oh man, it might be easier to post a picture at some point than list everything out 😅

yeah ive heard great things about them. Main thing i like is the coil tap feature. I've played one in a local guitar shop and they play very very nicely. i think i didnt play a standard though, all they had was a bonnie pink SE custom 24, but the guy said theres not too much difference between the custom and the standard. but i do say it felt really nice to play.
aha, i take it you've got the whole shebang? pedals, amps, guitars etc?

Omg niceee! I'm sure you will love it!
I'm rly into classical guitar been playing it for abouy 5 years now and I'm in a music school majoring classical guitar, if you need any help IG you can ask here I'm sure many of us can help.
Electric is rly cool I've tried a few times, but since I'm more i to jazz classical, and that doesn't rly sound good on electrical I don't think I'll get one... Perhaps I'll try bass sometime!

Back when I first started playing metal I didn't use a pick and should have known better. It took me way too long to get comfortable with a pick after that

lol. my favourite thing to do is just chug sometimes. i just turn my amp on and chug away. one of my favourite riffs is the bit just before the solo in master of puppets, very chuggy

would you say learning songs and playing them near perfectly takes a while? i can play a lot of songs but i can be a bit inconsistent sometimes with how i play some riffs/ bits that are played more than once. i have to really really focus to play a song in full, while being consistent and in time. obviously some songs are easier than others. i can play some perfectly in time no problem for the entire duration, whearas some i can play mostly fine but later on i might accidentally hit an extra string or miss a note etc. ive been practicing a lot but it seems to be taking ages. ideally id like to be able to play to a level where i can just play near perfectly

I used to take guitar lessons but I never really play now so I am not very good. I couldn't read music so I used to use tab on an app. I can play basic chords but not finger chords.

Was exactly the same for me, then I gave up after years of lessons.

Oo yes definitely takes a while to master a song. I say that a song is mastered when I can play it with my eyes closed. Also based on my experience the most efficient way to learn something is by playing it slowly and really concentrating for it to be correct. And for example when there are some cord changes that are more difficult, practice just that line with the difficult part very slowly and using a metronome speed up just a bit every time untill up to original speed.
If you really concentrate you can master a song in like a week and get good at it in like 3-4 days or like 5 hours of practice!!
