PaSsIoN79 SG Hi, I a mid level guitarist player who wish to upgrade myself. Like how to learn playing solo or chord+melody with my acoustic guitar. Thank U for replying.
MooKu SG Hi PaSsIoN79! If you need a guitar teacher, umm I can refer you to one. You can PM me Meanwhile, you can check out this thread and see if it's of any use...
PaSsIoN79 SG Hi dear all, for all the guiterist how abt meeting up and practising or exchange skills with one another so as to improve ourselves?
Tim^Guitarist SG Hmmm...Improving guitar skills eh? First It's important to learn how to read notes...Pick up a couple of scales...The C major scale and a natural minor scale should be nice... Learn to be fast and consistant with ur right-hand picking Dont forget abt ur lefty too...Most guitarist tend to make a common mistake...They dont use their left pinkies!. This is a very IMPORTANT point..NEVER neglect ur pinkies... After learning scaling, u're off to creating ur on solos and stuff... There's no fixed pattern on how a solo or riff is created...Mostly by note or chord progression i might say... Next, if u're talking abt about developing techniques and such... I would say that practicing daily would help alot... For me...I do arpeggios/econ picking and alt picking for abt 2 hrs a day Followed up by down picking for 30 mins...It helps u build ur muscles for both hands Techniques cant be acquired within a day's work...U got to be consistant with ur learning...That's it... P.s it's nice that u picked up a guitar... Tim^
Tim^Guitarist SG Kinda free on the march holidayz...Contact me yah... Oh btw...which style of music do u play?
PaSsIoN79 SG I play comtempo music chinese, english and lots on depending on what sort of music that i listen to. you can email me at [email protected]
Tim^Guitarist SG Woah...Not bad at all... I play loads of metal...Classical and Blues too... Anything from Metallica, Dream Theatre, Liquid Tension Experiment, satriani or vai... I'd be nice if we could meet up sometime...
SnowFlag SG Not sure for the rest, but I think a guitarist is one who plays the guitar full-time professionally. So I am not a guitarist
MooKu SG So how, anybody wants guitar lessons? My uncle teaches the guitar. Classical, accoustic, electric.. take your pick.
SnowFlag SG I didn't know anyone can teach classical guitar and electric guitar together. Reason is because of the differents way of holding the two types of guitar. Needs time to acustom when switching from one to another. So it is easier to make mistake during playing. As such, people normally choose to focus and learn just one... My two-cent opinion.
Tim^Guitarist SG Bands such as Metallica, Dream Theatre, Black Label Society ,Satch , Vai , Malmsteen do switch from their electric to a classical guitar at some point during their live performance...
