@ChaseTx did you get a new axe?

 

haven’t had much time to experiment with it outside of the sound that it’s known for but I really like it! gonna try to squeeze it into my album somewhere

 

man i love my Martin so much. can’t believe i ever fucked around with seagulls and takamines instead of just saving up and having multiples of these by now lol

 

Yeah I ended up going with a Squier Affinity Telecaster

 

awesome get - its hard to do better than a tele. I saw the pic on your Instagram!

 

Yeah I'm liking it. I guess I could've saved a little because they're now advertising a starter kit with a strat and a practice amp for $200, but I'm cool with what I got. Just bought a wall hanger for it

 

Feel like I've been seeing a lot of people playing classical guitars lately at home and in livestreams, and it's making me really tempted to just order one of those cheaper Yamaha ones for kicks lol

 

finally got a guitar... lookin to pick up a distortion pedal and a cry baby soon, once i start learning the basics.

 

Picked up some books today:

Fretboard Logic SE
Guitar Fretboard Workbook
Guitar Method Music Theory
Guitar Method complete edition
Vaideology

 

Damn you’re gonna be LEARNING. I’d fully recommend looking into tabs by the way. I can’t read sheet music to save my life. Tabs is so much easier. It shows a diagram of the guitar fretboard and what fingers to use for each note. Really simple way of learning songs if that’s what you’re trying to do.

 

It’s here after ONE day good grief I love Japan

 

oh yeah i know tabs, most basic chord shapes, etc. I just have 0 understanding of theory, note positions, chord relationships, etc

 

I’ve been playing since 2009 ish and I’m still none the wiser with theory. I know what notes to expect across the whole board and where to progress, but yeah no way would be able to understand the theory. Commendable you’re digging that deep!

 

I'm really bad with rhythm so that's what I need to work on. I may never get it lol

 

I wish I could credibly play guitar. I’ve had a guitar probably since I was like 14. I’m 32. I know chord shapes but not necessarily names. Suck at pattern and rhythm. Can play some songs from just hearing them but rarely. Can play a few more songs from tabs. Can’t really tune by ear. Worst of all I have pretty small hands so a lot of chords are extremely difficult for me to play or just switch from. I think that’s what puts me off the most.

That being said I may be getting a new guitar sometime this year. I’d love to dive into pedals and effects but I should probably put more time into actually learning to play first.

 

My advice would be to practice before diving too deep into pedals because the moment I got pedals it felt like progression took a backseat.

But but but anybody who struggles with rhythm DEFINITELY should get a looper pedal. They are bloody fantastic for solo practice and working out timing. Seriously. Can recommend a few if anybody is interested. Looper pedals stopped my progression slump and now I’m pretty good with rhythm and timing. Really really recommend it. It makes you so much better at writing music.

 

i wish i could sing to the level to match my guitar playing "lol"

 

I preordered and finally got one of those BIAS Spark amps - it's pretty interesting. I know most modeling amps have similar capabilities and sounds, but I've really enjoyed it so far. You can do some really neat stuff. For a practice amp at home it's pretty great.

 

Apologies for the spam. Finally assembled my ‘complete’ Japan board. It took some serious pedal jenga but I’m so pleased with the results. Loving the MOOD. It’s bloody mental. Gonna take a while to fully figure out what’s going on and how to take advantage of it, but that’s 100% of the excitement for me.

 

you have a MOOD now, you don’t need to know theory bro
