Seeing as this is given as the answer in lots of threads I thought it could probably go in here. It's speed building/exercises btw. |

I wanna ask something, but I dunno if I'm asking it in the wrong thread. Here goes... Well, I'm beginner on the guitar, so I do beginner stuff. But from time to time I attempt stuff that is waaay out of my league. Am I doing something wrong by doing that?

But no, that's a fine thing to do, just don't get downhearted when you can't manage stuff. |
Here are a couple of links that you might want to add:

A really cool site for the beginner. It has a "virtual guitar" that shows you all the chords, plays them for you, allows you to make up your own chords, hear what chords would sound like on different frets, what they'd sound like with a capo, electric/acoustic. Really useful site. |
Looking for "Spanish nights" sheet music
Hi all,
I need your advice about sheet music for guitar that would be for beginners and would have a taste of spanish music. I bumped into the sheet music of spanish nights (I guess a simplified version) and would like more of the same. Thanks. |

Looking at your post count, I'd say you wern't able to when you tried. These forums only allow users to make threads 24hrs after signup. This is for answers to F.A.Q.s not for questions themselves:chug: |

Rules for chords
From the Jazz Language by Dan Haerle Notes needed for the chord Root- May be included for strength or may be omitted 3rd - Important color tone, normally present except in sus4 chord, (also the sus2 chord, but he left it out) 5th - May be omitted unless it is altered 7th - Important color tone, normally present except in 9/6 chord 9th - Optional color tone unless specifically called for 11th - Optional color tone (same as 9th) 13th - Optional color tone (same as 9th) |
I was looking through the various links and I couldn't find any that would point to my particular question.
I have basically hit a wall in my playing. I can play pretty much as I wish in terms of scales, modes, arpeggios, etc. My issues are coming from picking now. I spent about 3 months building up my scales, modes, and other lick vocabulary but I am having a tough time getting alternate picking on chords and palm muting chords. I can build the chords, but when it comes to switching up the picking or even straight down and up picking as the case with the song I am working on, I tend to lose a ton of time and I can't even get it close to how the song sounds. Is there a proper guide to give me some advice on improving this? I'm really frustrated because I can finally tab songs by ear and learn songs by ear, but I can't play them because once I get to anything involving alternately picked chords or palm muting, I am screwed. |
:confused:your problem is alternate picking in general, or alternate picking chords (arpeggios) with palm muting (ex . like steve morse usually does)?
|
I want to download a drumtrack [w/bass if possible] to play along with. how would i go about this?
|
Is it possible to setup the Metal Techniques again please?

Hey all,
Figured this was a noob question: What would determine whether I use a Cb major key signature (7 flats) or B major key signature (5 sharps), as aren't they the same thing? Cheers, ER. |
