Hey all!
It's been a fun journey learning guitar. I feel like I've progressed pretty fast to get a great baseline for playing. I practice too much..like 1-5 hours a day almost every day. I know it's an endless journey of learning and creating which I'm still overly enthusiastic about and can't wait to be able to share more with the world as I continue to get better.
I wanted to see how this sub thinks of my current playing. I don't have too many friends in my life that I can lean on for support or feedback (or that care) so I figured I'd put stuff on here. hopefully this is allowed.
please take a listen and let me know your feedback. good, bad, neutral. it's all good. all information/feedback is welcome and will be taken with smiles and a drive to better myself.
Me just having fun starting up the neck for the first time. - https://foldr.space/f/wfwwHhdwX8iLWMES/having-fun.mp3
Sound countryish twang playing I felt about 2 months ago and have been working on clarity - https://foldr.space/f/VImNiZ6MiZ8OM4nA/early-twang.mp3
more countryish stuff, playing with hammerons and single note changes to new chord - https://foldr.space/f/ygTNR8Tsl4GfcENx/that-twang.mp3
Thanks and I hope to be able to post something like this again in the future with longer clips, better timing (my current main focus) tone and picking accuracy.
links only last a week... I'll try to delete after to avoid 8day viewers from being confused asking for reuploads
edit: I should add that my guitar is the Martin Jr10e cutaway. absolutely love this guitar. recently started using picks too, all 3 clips above were with a pick. those cat tongue ones since all the other ones kept slipping and still do lol. previously 0-3 months was purely fingerstyle.
I've been playing for almost a couple years (I think) and I play a COMPLETELY different style to this, but to my ear that's pretty fucking great for 4 months. I would have thought at least a year if I had to guess.
thank you, I feel I'm doing good myself but it's nice to have some confirmation .
this has been a lot of visual learning on my side too as well as moving from tabs (I find reading tabs slow) to using sheet music and just referencing the chord I need. It really helps me to see how others are playing (a lot of Billy strings music), and try to mirror/play along.
I'm really starting to push into more caged right now to expand on the neck skills, and timing.. timing is really rewiring my brain in a good way.
thanks for checking it out and replying, really appreciate it :)
No problem :). I play a couple very particular styles of metal on guitar only, and basically no guitar theory, I also can't play to a metronome. However I do have a sort of "natural guitar feel/sense" which lets me get away with it so far. I'm basically bluffing my way through it tbh, but it doesn't really matter cus I only play for myself and my own enjoyment. But yeah, you sound almost tighter than me already!
