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'm not very experienced but it sounds good to me. Any songs or techniques you're working on lately? For picks I like the dadarrio thumb picks or the big fat Dunlop big stubby I got used to using on bass. They have a little recess in the middle that helps grip.
I will check out those picks, learning how to use picks right now and I can already see the difference in a few that I have.
no specific songs, I have end song goals I want to play but I'm moreso focusing on the fretboard, techniques and just developing my style.
specific techniques, I'm not too sure. I guess cross picking is a major thing. working on my accuracy and maintaining tempo mostly. knowing the idea behind the caged system is helping a lot as it lets me travel from. one chord to another with the journey between the two chords sounding nice.
