https://3speak.tv/watch?v=selfhelp4trolls/plnxgwhgdy It’s been about 2 weeks since I’ve started playing electric guitar regularly. After years of playing what I was comfortable with, pretty simple meditative acoustic songs, I wanted a change.
Actually this is something I’ve been thinking about for years, but because I didn’t have a comfortable space to play, nor the money for the equipment, I kept putting it off.
In the end I slowly gathered the parts needed, an amp, a cheap new guitar, reverb, delay, and drive pedals and music took over my living room.
My room’s always a mess now, but at least I have music.
Well I could easily just stick to the songs and style that I’m used to, I’m taking this as a chance to level up, and so I’m filling in all the gaps with regards to my weak points.
I’ve never practiced with a metronome before so that’s new, and it’s helpful since delay in the loop can confuse things a little bit. I never really did drills to work on my finger speed, and so that’s new to.
I do know basic scales, But I usually stick to the simpler shapes and can’t always play what’s in my mind easily, so I’ve been practicing those too.
The goal here was to play steady simple bass part and be able to jam between that. i’ll be working on this roof for a while until I can play more complicated licks in between the base notes.
If you’re interested and want to hear some of my old songs, I just released five as an EP. It’s up on Spotify, Apple, YouTube and just about everywhere else, search for “Sun Shone Blue” by I+Everything.
And go subscribe to my YouTube channel if you can. I regularly put up short music videos, and occasionally long ones too. Here’s one of them:
