2023-05-11 18:13:45 +0000 UTCHow do we find our range

2023-05-11 18:04:48 +0000 UTCSince I’m the only guitarist in the band
Daniel Torres
2023-05-11 18:02:18 +0000 UTCThanks for the sound advice (no pun intended). I’m gonna be playing this tomorrow, so I’ll most likely stick to the rhythm parts of the guitar and maybe flare in some single notes.

2023-05-11 17:57:54 +0000 UTCCurious about fitting/changing the key to pair up better with a voice… like the other day on the poetry challenge you chose to use a capo …
Mason
2023-05-11 17:57:06 +0000 UTCHey Scott! Thanks for your help last weekend. I’m gonna be performing Valerie by Amy Winehouse and Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. Any advice for performing? I haven’t performed in about 6 months and before that it was probably another 6 months.

2023-05-11 17:06:30 +0000 UTCHi Scott, The help last week (feeling like I was playing notes instead of music), was fantastic with my practice this week. I feel like I'm playing much more "musically" now. The trick that really did it for me and put me in the right mindset was speaking or singing the lyrics from Eric's song last week and then playing a phrase on the guitar mimicing the tone and pace! Awesome stuff. Question this week is a quick one about string bending technique. I understand bending to a tone I want, but from a mechanics standpoint I seem to be having trouble not getting noise from other strings. For example, if i bend the first string up a whole step, my finger nails will catch the second and or 3rd strings and make a lot of unwanted noise as I release the bend. I'm thinking I need to use the pads of my fingers instead of the tips or is it more muting somehow with the right hand? Thanks!

2023-05-11 11:04:06 +0000 UTCAnd finally... where are the best places on the fretboard to perform double stops?

2023-05-11 11:03:23 +0000 UTCGoing for hat-trick here... Hendrix rhythms seem to be all over the place but somehow they work. Why is this?

2023-05-11 10:51:57 +0000 UTCAlso, is it possible to explain/illustrate the idea of syncopation?

2023-05-11 10:49:41 +0000 UTCHi Scott. Are you planning a Caged III series?
