El Kabong posted:I'm working through Leavitt's Modern Method for Guitar and I was wondering if it is better to practice just one exercise for 30 mins? I've been working through the same book (I have 1-3 bound together), and I've found that there are some lessons that only take 10 minutes to grasp, and others that take me a few days to get through. Basically, don't worry about moving on until you're comfortable with what you were supposed to be learning in that lesson. I will also occasionally revisit older lessons just to make sure I can still do those exercises well.

TheGopher posted:Will do, would never have guessed the toggle switch could be the issue rather than the pickups themselves. That's the exact reason I haven't used the bridge pickup on my guitar in ~6 months. All it would take is a 5 minute trip to Radio Shack too, but I'm lazy.

TheGopher posted:How the gently caress do I make noises like Jack White can? Jesus christ the guy turns the guitar into a noise machine just as well as Tom Morello, only I can understand how Morello can make some of the sounds through feedback, clever toggle switch usage etc. It just seems like Jack White stands there and doesn't do anything obvious but can make the guitar shriek and wail like he's taking a hammer to it. Please somebody enlighten me because it's a loving mystery to me. Watch It Might Get Loud, that should provide you with a little insight into his attitude and the sounds he makes. Also, revel in how poorly "The Edge" is actually able to play. edit: that post was farther back in the thread than I thought. oh well

There's a scene towards the end where they're all sitting around talking about the chord progression of a specific song, and Edge seems to be totally lost.

SaucyPants posted:I think it has more to do with that deep south blues style he seems to like more than the punk side. Think about the part when he is explaining that song I can't remember the name but its the guy that just claps and sings. He talks about the off-beat clapping and how everything doesn't have to be perfect. That's a son house song, and he talks about it in the docu that I linked earlier.

Justin Guitar has some good ear training lessons, which have helped me out a bit. http://justinguitar.com/en/AU-000-AuralTraining.php

Philthy posted:I've been a fan of the Jackson necks with the sharktooth design for whatever reason. I noticed this over at Guitarfetish. I currently have an ESP LTD M-10 starter guitar that I've swapped some SD pickups in and I'm enjoying it for what it is. I was thinking of getting this neck and some tuners and basically turn this into my beginner/build guitar. The floyd rose nuts should be three square nuts that clamp the strings in place to help keep the guitar in tune when using a floyd rose bridge. Shouldn't make a difference if don't have a floyd rose bridge, and you can just take them off and leave them off.

CaptainApathyUK posted:I know a bunch of scales, but only to the point where if you said "Play A natural minor" and I'd be able to. Similarly, if you played a chord progression that began with Am I'd happily use that scale to improvise a lead over it. If you have a computer available, https://musictheory.net has a number of interactive exercises, including fretboard identification.

My wife bought me a new acoustic guitar for christmas this year, and I've been noticing a buzz coming from the bridge on some of the strings. It was set up by a local shop when she bought it, but is there any adjustments I can do myself to fix it, or should I just bring it back by there?

I wanted to try to learn Calamity Song [youtube]from The Decemberists' new album, but all of the tabs I can find are obviously wrong. Anyone willing to help me out? edit: found one: http://www.indieguitartabs.com/bands/decemberists/calamity_song.html never seen this tab site before, looks pretty good also the iphone app Capo, while being ridiculously overpriced, is unbelievably useful for figuring out new songs. The Fool fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Feb 14, 2011 |

I would just like to comment that I picked up a slide yesterday. Tuning to Open G and everything I do sounds awesome. Any suggestions for actual songs to try out?

SUBLIME! posted:I've got myself a guitar and while I'm still trying to get an amp I was wondering about instructors. Are online guitar lessons worth anything at all or would it be much more beneficial to have lessons in person? I came across guitartricks.com and it looked alright but I'm a bit wary of websites with terrible names designed to take your money and be lovely. My recommendations: http://www.justinguitar.com/ plus a decent instructor and maybe either the Mel Bay or Hal Leonord method books

betterinsodapop posted:I'm sure this has been asked before, and if this is the case, please bear with me. I've used both, and bought Amplitube. In my opinion they're both equally good in modeling quality, I greatly prefer the UI of Amplitube. Guitar Rig should have a demo, and Amplitube has a free version and is now using an al a carte model for additional effects and amps.
