Which is what I really need to learn because I can find several things that sound cool and would be great linked together yet, it's just all in a wrong key ya know'? So if I learned that my time spent playing would probably be much more fulfilling.

Theory boosts your knolage, if your fiddling about and making stuff that sounds cool, theory is milked all over it. So by knowing the theory, you can identify the key and stuff.

Yeah, I mainly sit down and try to experiment with everything. Whether its a random tapping pattern, random chords or whatever and I'm just trying to learn all the possible sounds I can get. Then I sit down and try to link them together to create my own little riff, though most never exceed 20 seconds long. I will every now and then go to tabs and learn how other bands construct songs. It has been a very slow, yet rewarding process thus far. I've been interested in learning theory though.

Good amps are vital, if your jamming in your house, those cool vyprs are pwnage. If your playing a gig or want to blast peoples minds, use orange or marshall (with stacks).

For self teaching your cool, i am too! 2 years under my belt but only really too guitar seriously after one year because I found playing the same riffs was shite (GNR, Sweet home ala, Smoke on teh, etc). so i decided to learn theory myself and watching others play. helps quite a bit.

Three, I've been self-teaching myself. I stopped playing for about a year and half because all I had was an acoustic and I was getting bored with it. I just started playing again in June so I'm trying to adjust to it again. I think my AMP is what is holding me back from really making progress though, the sound is just so bad that no matter what I play it sounds blah. I'm hoping the vypyr will remedy this. I was playing with one at Guitar Center yesterday actually. I noticed immediate results

It's not that I'm having difficulty linking stuff up here it's just that I was having trouble remembering how the song went, I seriously played it for the first time 5 minutes before I recorded. I probably should have worked on it a lot more before recording this but heh, I wanted to get some sort of guitar video on my youtube. I will probably be able to get a much better sounding song too when I pick up a Peavy Vypyr 75 as well. I'm using a very weak Drive 30w right now. I'll try muting now

Jai deux années joue de la guitare.

If you can read that.

how about you?

[neo14085]

If your having difficulty linking stuff up, you could have that part more palm muted, and the rest us all strumming. give a more... nirvana feel.

you could also do the verse clean and the chorus with the same chords but distorted.

[dreamslayer]

Also, just watched some of your videos. Really good, how long have you been playing?

that it could... that it could
