Thank you both for the critique, the reason I was having issues is I haven't practiced for a week and I was rather nervous when shooting the video. I honestly have never fully played out as a guitarist... I've only played out as a drummer. The whole reason for me starting this journey is because I want to do both. I appreciate the feedback, I lowered my metronome to 60 and my pinky is building up to be a lot stronger. Also, my arm is still being worked on so physically it will get better with time. Mechanically I do have lots of work to do, I've been working on getting more of a curve in my hand this week. I will hopefully post another video tonight updating the difference from last week to this week. Also, I am going to work on some of the other techniques with fingers and a slide hopefully that'll make me come up with some creative ideas for performing. Will post the update shortly. I apologize I only reply on the weekends. I'm going to work on replying during the week. Thanks again, I appreciate all the advice and critique you can give me!
Hi Farelli, I recorded myself doing a few exercises. And figured out how to post the videos.
Obviously not practicing for a week has caught up to me, which is funny hah. But here's two videos with some explanation in them. And I'm obviously a bit nervous doing these videos. I usually spend more time playing and less time demonstrating/practicing on video hah!
Hah thanks guys! Let's see if this works?!? I'm still adjusting to my new work schedule. Hopefully I'll get a few more posted today.
Unfortunately this band did not work out for me... They were quite a bit younger than me... i was 23-24 at the time and they were in their late teens and it turned into a bunch of drama which resulted in me quitting. But anyway, you guys get to see me drum :)
The guitar videos are older videos... I mainly play slide, and I will be posting standard tuning with an acoustic and open with a slide and if I can get my hands on a lefty for laughs.
Thank you all for the help.. I didn't realize where it said "Message:" that's where the "video Einfugen was. More videos to come today haha!
Haha glad someone likes the idea! I can play drums left or right handed, which was my own doing (the ignorance of youth, or just having really cool drum teachers who pushed me!) Okay I will look at your videos! Sorry it took me a bit to reply. I've been busy training at work and have been so burnt that I came home and fell asleep most nights just to recover and acclimate. Now I should be back on track!
I understand that completely! Since I drive literally all day long, I honestly listen to a little bit of everything. I need to listen to Pebber's videos while I'm driving as well.
I will definitely shoot some videos in the middle of a corn field. I actually have been writing some songs. So once I get an album together I will probably be shooting a video in the middle of one anyhow haha!
Thanks for the help! Stay in touch!
Apparently I'm not allowed to submit links to my post? I'll have to read the thread on how to submit videos. I was going to share videos of my drumming haha! I have much to learn as a young padawan!
Currently it's just lesson one practical, right handed exercises. However Pebber did send me more videos today. Im kinda in a funny predicament I am left handed but due to a frozen shoulder I started playing right handed. Recently through chiropractic etc, my left shoulder and arm are no longer frozen. So I think I am going to buy a left handed guitar and work on exercises with both hands. Since I'm at the starting point it might be better for me to try this little experiment now. if I decide to go that route, I'll post videos of both arms (however funny the left handed videos may be.)
I just started this; program, practice, lessons, exploration(?) And I'm enjoying it a lot! I didn't know exactly what to post for the first weeks worth of lessons. I am extremely surprised at how much my picking hand and fretting hand have improved! I play so much cleaner already! If anyone has any advice on what to post for my lessons video/responses please let me know! I want to take FULL advantage of this opportunity, and being that I am predominately a drummer I would love to get honest critique from my plectrum wielding counterparts.
I really enjoyed the mention of having little time to practice. I like the guitarist mentioned in the practice videos, am also a Semi driver and I put in about 10 hour days. So my days schedule is consistent of coming home, taking a four hour nap, waking up playing guitar, going back to sleep and waking up for work.
