Hi all, welcome to my new channel, please subscribe. It's free and really helps me out. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
You are making great progress.
Thank you! I try to hit my routine an hour a day or more.
That's amazing! you have great rhythm for a beginner
Much appreciated, must be all that air drumming in the car I do LOL
Great progress man. Few tips for improving: - You should start practicing the "1 Fret per finger" style, it helps a lot to develop a sense of where the notes are in the fretboard, just start from the 1st fret 6th string doing 1,2,3,4 each fret with each finger, and then going down one string. Once you reach the 1st string, go up one fret and go from the 1st string to the 6th. Keep repeating until reaching the 12th fret. - At the same time start practicing picking up and down with the right hand, one note down and the next one up. Doing this every single day will not only warm your fingers up, but will make your brain understand the optimal pressure that every note needs to ring. Keep going and Rock on dude, great content!
One last thing, practice on clean tone, if you get the solos sounding right on clean, it will be really easy playing them with distortion
Ah yes, the spider walk? seen a few versions of this. I switch my warm-up/speed exercises with this from time to time so I dont get bored! Thanks for the note and feedback :)
tone 1 Amp: Super Heavy. Gain - 10 Vol - 8.2 Treble - 10 Middle - 10 Bass - 1.5 Stomp: Blues Drive lvl - 6.0 Gain - 7.2 Tone - 10 Blend - 10 tone 2 Amp: Alt Metal (replica of Mesa boogie) Gain - 7.0 Vol - 8.2 Tre - 7.5 Mid - 9.0 Bass - 5.8 Stomp: Myth Drive Lvl - 6.4 Gain - 7.2 Tre - 10 i use my own od pedal instead and put on a metal gate. also adjust to your own pickups, might need more or less gain/trebel etc
the problem is the presets arent set up for proper metal. I've made a few good metal and rock tones using reddit forums and such. I've gotten a good slipknot tone, a three days grace kinda tone, a kiss/dio kinda rock tone, and a high gain metal tone. its all about changing the amps and using your own od/ distortion pedals so you can run the metal gate. also btw the first clean I believe has a spring reverb in it, you can take it off.
Great for 5 weeks
Thank you! Working a little bit every day. Its sounding more like "music"
th-cam.com/video/ZLycs1-RKqs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lFJbOxMTyrSM7pkj I almost got it.
I think you are making great progress. Keep at it.
better than I got right now! Nice
@@AdultGuitarLearning I thank you, you'll get it quicker than you think.
@@zibafairchild6185 I think I'm getting there. I have the next few stanzas down. That was easier than these 16th notes.
absolutely for nothing….
Guitar Center has always been great to me.
True, everyone i've worked with there so far has been really nice to me. I also don't go in thinking I'm good at music HAHA
Love these modeling amps! I been playing over 30 years and it is nice to get an amp that can stand alone without a bunch of foot pedals etc.. I have the LT50 and play shows with it, sounds very good considering the price point. We play a lot of 80's rock and metal 🤘 the Metal Lead selection is probably my most used sound
Awesome, glad it works! :)
Subscribed to your channel so I won’t miss that epic puppets final play along. 🤘🎸
HELL YEA!! I've got the first 3 sections memorized, but still need to make it "sound" like the song.... a little bit every day :)
Nice guitar 🫶
Thank you!
I started playing guitar when I was ten. I'm 52 now and still learning. You never stop learning.
thank you sir
To me, the exercises are less important than just playing chords and songs, for a beginner. When you strum some songs, you get a sense of achievement and feel happy having created real music, which you don't get from scale exercises. I'd suggest getting hold of a song book (or look on the Internet) that shows simple chord shapes with the lyrics to songs that you like, and try playing them.
I mix in a little of both to keep myself motivated. If you see through the video I try to have a few mins of exercises then switch to learning songs I like.
Here’s a tip: tune down to C standard, smoke 3 doobies and just play whatever and you’ll be golden
LOL, sadly pot doesn't do much for me. But I get the idea ;) haha
Nice progress. keep it up!
Thank you sir! Sometimes there's just too many options and I want to learn it all :D
Have you tried connecting this amp to the fender tone app? I’m not too sure but there is like an extra 30 presets I believe and there’s more stomp boxes to add to your sounds I think.
I ended up returning it and getting an orange. The fender did not sound good on any channel. The orange is a huge step up for the same price
@@AdultGuitarLearning Is it that bad? I’ve seen some reviews that think it’s really good but some think it’s really bad. So I don’t know who to believe here.
@@harryjmtmusic That's up to you, but both my wife and I said it sounded very hallow and tin-like. No depth.
You lesson demos SUCK ... PLEASE STOP AND TAKE LESSONS YOURSELF, OK
I think you misunderstood the point of the channel there bud. watch the very first video and get back to me
Get a Katana ❤
I ended up with an orange 35rt because it had an effects loop
@ great choice 🌹 Just for info (you probably know, but others might not), Katana 100 and above also have an effects loop 🔁
@@basarat Thanks! I saw that and the price point between the orange and the katana was over $100. I dont need anything that fancy, just a good clean tone
You need a tube amp and learn how to play
Trying my best to practice and learn every day.
In general, Fender and metal crunch do not go together.
LOL I learned that the hard way. I got an Orange :D
@@AdultGuitarLearningI think Orange and Blackstar do that ok.
The LT50 is a cheap beginner's amp. It's just NOT a chugger's amp. I own the GTX-100 amongst others. It's an awesome practice & bedroom-use amp, but I have comfortably gigged with it.
Yep, i know that now. at the time i wasn't sure i wanted to take it seriously, but 2 weeks in and I hate the sound, Its already been returned.
it can chug if you set it up right, I got a pretty good slipknot tone. like a duality type tone.
@@captainhindsight4206 the biggest issue is that it's such a PITA to get anything decent. I got rid of it and got an Orange 35RT with a Tone Master Pro.
I have the LT25 and it's phenomenal for what it is. It's great as a bedroom or spare room all in 1 amp. The sorta amp you have when you can't get to/use your main gear (if inspiration hits or if you're still working on an idea of what will become a song). Or if you're experimenting with effects and don't wanna drop money on something you'll barely use. For this very specific case, it's great. No, it cannot do metal, it does great clean/blues/old school hard rock though.
Sure thing. I feel like it was just a "jack of all trades" situation. Good clean sound when i could find it, but otherwise just meh.
@AdultGuitarLearning I've heard really good things about the Vox VT40 something (40 watt 10 inch speaker, with that Nu-tube tech). I used their ToneLab back in the day and found it really good for more Metal stuff. A little more expensive, a little smaller, but might be worth looking into if you're looking for a Jack of All Trades sorta amp
@@Dimefan91 nice nic btw, i ended up with an orange 35rt because it had an effects loop. I got myself a modeler and just use the amp as an easy way to to make noise. The orange sounds great to me, both clean and dirty. Got a real 70's vibe from it.
I bought an older VOX vt50 amp, and I play it way more than my Marshal stack. The VOX just sounds incredible!
thank you for the rec. I ended up getting an orange 35rt. it's insanely loud and has an effects loop. no other amp of that size did
@@AdultGuitarLearning I heard good things about them. Good luck.
Loving the progress mate! How often do you practice?
I try for an hour a day.
I'm probably a bit late to the party but you coulld get a multi effects processor and run it through the "super dry clean" channel of the amp and It'd sound decent. Keep at it mate.
I've already returned it and got an orange 35rt and a fender tone master for the effects!
It really is funny how the algorithm works. I also just picked up playing. However, I'm still 'stuck' on a spanish acoustic my wife wanted to play 10 years ago but dropped out off. In the convincing stage for buying a electric guitar and start roughly the same track you are taking. Really looking forward to see you progress and hope to keep up, it'll be like having a practice buddy. My goal is to play the British Steel album from Judas Priest (or any of them).
Thanks budddy! I've been playing daily since this all started and i can see progress, but still getting frustrated. Hopefully i can find a good path too :) I hope yours goes well :)
It's funny how the algorithm works. I'm glad it showed me your channel. I like the honesty, because I'm struggling here quite with the same story. I'm looking forward to the next videos! :)
Welcome aboard!
LMAO....this guy starts with a Les Paul Supreme??? BIG MISTAKE BRO....!!!
Why? what's wrong with it?
@@AdultGuitarLearning advanced guitar man, ought to get something a little more playable.
@@voyxu143 playable? How? It plays great. Is there something easier?
@@AdultGuitarLearning Yeah, something with a rosewood fingerboard and a bit bigger frets can be more managable for a begginer. That ebony board can be tough on the fingers.
@@voyxu143 I hear you, I had a Les Paul back when played 25 years ago, so I guess that was the thing that drew me to this one. My first was a sunburst. This fireburst looks dope
Loose advice from a music education graduate who is a multi-instrumentalist: When it comes to technique-focused exercise such as scales, practice them so slowly that you cannot make a mistake. Your fingers will learn the mistakes and you will take just as long to unlearn the mistakes as you will learning to speed up the scale/passage. Another tip I've been given by many different instrument pros: Always practice with a metronome!
I really appreciate you posting your learning and documenting your experience. I've played guitar for 13 years but have really been spending more time on it as of late and am hoping to master it in time.
Was going to comment the same thing. As the saying goes and I think JustinGuitar likes to say, Practice makes permanent…so practice perfectly!
@@cody7855 the hardest part to deal with is patience in this regard. I've started songs at 25bpm that eventually needed to be 125bpm so I could actually learn the song correctly, only going up 1bpm each time I got it correct. it's extremely painstaking to learn this way, but you learn more quickly over time and it becomes less of a slog. I recommend that route to any beginners who have the time and patience, but I do believe there's some room for leeway.
Thank you for that, its tough to play something slowly that i know the beat and pace... I keep wanting to speed up, but I know i shouldn't
Master of Puppets is really ambitious as a brand new player. I respect the hell out of it.
Hey, gotta have a goal? Right?
I'm still learning fade to black. I feel ya.
That's on my list! I'm trying to get the "bell tolls" riff down right now
Start by doing Black Sabbath, it will be easier.
I wish you the best. I just started playing again after 15 years of not playing at all.
I'm throwing a few sabbath songs in too. While puppets is the "goal" its not all i'm doing :)
@@AdultGuitarLearning My goal is Kiss of death by Dokken.
@@zibafairchild6185 Hell ya brother, I hope you get it :D
puppets is a beginner level tune. lots of fretboard framework material there but its basic and a good way to learn the ropes. you can do it. much mojo.
Solos and all? beginner? yeesh. LOL
@@AdultGuitarLearning maybe not in your case
More power to you! I started after I retired (at 70)...tough learning off the internet but I'm still plugging away and so happy to be doing it. Best of luck.
Yes! Thank you!
Quick advise, change your picks for Jazz III, small pointy picks give more control
thanks! I'll check it out
Note: only Jazz iii XL can rock others are what they called - jazz pick
Actually on my way to go get some now! :D
Good luck with this! Do you already play another instrument? I would suggest you learn a few simple chord shapes, then try playing along with easy listening/pop/country music, to help familiarise yourself with the guitar. Also, find another beginner locally, and play together. You'll get better quicker if you play songs with other musicians. And don't get hung up on theory.
much appreciated thank you
Nice! Keep at it dude, whether you put it on youtube or not. I'm 40 years old and got myself a used Ibanez and a modeling amp a year ago and I'm having tons of fun learning how to play. You know what they say, the best time to learn guitar was 10 years ago, the 2nd best time is right now :)
Thanks! Will do!
