Hey!
I just thought it would be nice to make a thread for those people who are just starting to play guitar or have started it awhile ago and want to get better. I would like this chain to be a place, where people who are experienced in playing the instrument, would drop in to give a piece of their experience for those that are younger and maybe struggling with something. Like we al, who've been playing the instrument know, the progression is very fast at start and one might get the image after a year of practise that they are invincible with the instrument.
What I've learned during my years with the instuments are these:
- Know what to play and when to play it (sometimes the most advanced lick you know isn't the best one for the moment)
- Do not constrict yourself to just one style of music (even if you play metal listening to jazz players or pop players and playing their stuff WILL make you a better metal player)
- Practice (even if you think you are good you are never too good for practise)
- Jam with musicians more advanced than you (your playing will improve when playing with people "better" than yourself)
- Use emotion (guitar is extremely dynamic instrument so the amount of force you apply in your playing will make the instument sound different)
- and most importantly enjoy the time spent with your instument (this will be heard in your playing)
These are what I've learned during the years from various sources and from playing, hopefully these are helpful for someone who is starting to play
