yeah I know, man, was just spitballin’[quote=“countingbeans, post:740, topic:155997”]
One of my all time favorite live shows I’ve ever heard

it’s sickening how note perfect he is the entire time with that slide! I’ve joined a blues band recently and have had to bust out the slide. It’s like learning from scratch all over again.
I’ve tried three times… It just isn’t going to work for me lol.
This is killer stuff man. I still think you’ll find a lot more if you break up your guitar parts into parts.
I can handle an open tuning fairly well, but I’m nowhere near being able to rip up and down a petatonic scale in standard tuning. No fucking way
Thank you very much. 
Yeah I’m very new to all this recording and stuff…I’ve just been playing and practicing on my own.
I think your maturity as a player and song composer will be very exciting to watch. Your instincts and foundation are great, I’m literally in love with a vast majority of your riffs, and a fan of your structure.
I think either though continued critical listening of other players/songs or professional production, you’ll end up opening up your creative possibilities enormously when you learn how to incorporate the “rest”. You’re very busy right now, and that isn’t a put down, just an observation.
Here’s an example (I love Joe’s playing, but his vocals are like a nail on the chalk board.)
Anyway, right before the verse starts hear the pause in his chord progression? That moment of silence from the guitar? That is just as powerful as a note. You aren’t accustomed to playing in the context of other instruments yet, so you have to fill all the space to get your creative ideas out… Hear how he lets the D ring out during the chorus? Or the progression at the turn around where he lets all the chords just ring out? That sounds like shit when you play by yourself, but fits the actual song infinitely better once in the context of a “band” situation.
I think you’ll find your current EQ on your rig will change drastically once in a “band” situation too. You’ll end up a lot “thinner” and less present outside of a couple frequencies. (Which by then you’ll also have a second guitar that will take other frequencies, and you’ll sound hella more sonic in tandem, than any one guitar will.) The EQ that sounds good in your bedroom is going to sound like shit in a mix, and muddy up the whole song. Likewise, the EQ that sounds killer in the mix will sound like dog shit in your bedroom, until you get used to it.
End of the day man, you’re on the right track, and have a very good raw talent for riffology and song structure. You should go places if you grind it out.
Thanks alot man, I really appreciate your comment, and yes this is definitely something that I want to do with my life, only 21 years old now, i’m not really in my city for the next 2-3 months but I’m planing on going all in when i move to the city, will have alot of free time for myself and I want to form a band and im working on that slowly…
I posted 1 more demo, and this is the last demo i post on the internet. www.soundcloud.com/divine-mellow
Picked up a new ax today - 2016 Flying V in wine red. Oh my god it’s so sexy I would fuck it if it had a hole big enough on it somewhere.
It’s ludicrously high gain though, so I’m going to stick a 57 classic and 57 classic plus in the bridge and neck, respectively.
To all of you who fuck around with your pickups - is it quite easy to do? I’ve never done it before.
A bit nervous to share my stuff here, but uh…
picked up another new guitar, not that I needed it.
Gibson Les Paul Jr. Super cool. Only has one pickup; a dog ear P90 in the bridge position.
Thing fucking screams! I love it.
Now that I can actually make some noise at the place I live, I’m thinking of buying and learning to play the acoustic guitar.
Are there anything I should be aware of as someone who’s thinking of beginning to learn?
I’m a beginner also, but buy the best you can afford. Nothing under $200.
I have a Yamaha that stays in tune pretty well and plays decent.
Youtube is great for learning. I use guitarjamz quite a bit.
Learn the basic chords and practice a bit every day, it will take a little while until your fingertips toughen up.
I respectfully disagree with this statement. I played a sub £100 guitar for about 15 years before I decided to treat myself.
Earn your good guitar! As I sit here typing I have on my lap a Gibson Custom Hummingbird Rosewood. It was a 30th birthday present to myself which I felt like I deserved after 20 years of playing guitar.
Does the sound quality matter for a newbie?
I don’t think so. Obviously a better guitar will be better, but for now you just need to teach your fingers to do the right thing.
The guitar I learned on was an absolute piece of shit, with an action higher than a fucking skyscraper. It meant that when I picked up a good guitar it felt like a little toy and I could play it no bother.
I guarantee you the sound you think you want now will change as you advance along with other stuff like the neck thickness. Best to get a cheap one first. You can also light it on fire on stage and not feel the pinch in the future.
With the exchange and inflation a 100 pound’s 15 years ago would be well over $200 U.S. today.
I’m not saying he needs a Taylor but don’t make the mistake of the $100.00 Rogue I exchanged after six months for $20.00
