[@lukenath6983]

YES!! Curious, would you list out your guitar journey? Trying to see how people have come to where they are, as I’m beginning my journey with a long way to go. Doing Paul David’s stuff now

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

Good question! I think I started learning the stuff I wanted to learn first.. songs, fun easy stuff etc… then techniques and more the technical stuff 80s shred.. then maturing into more melodic stuff.. groove.. jazz, funk, fusion and then really got my head around intervals (the fretboard, not the band! Ha) and started playing through space rather than trying to fill it…
Best thing I did though was try and learn as many genres as possible!! But enjoy the process as there is no ‘end’ make lots of mistakes and transcribe from your fav players :)

[@lukenath6983]

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I’m starting to get back into the acoustic first and wanting to learn fingerpicking styles before I move onto buying an electric and learning the rock/blues flatpicking stuff.

Wow, this might be the best cover I have seen of this solo. I have a Suhr just like that and a Kemper too, now I just need skills 😂. May I ask what pickups you use?

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

Thanks man! Much appreciated. Pick ups are just stock pickups in the guitar. (Classic S hss suhr)

[@binilgn5941]

James Davies That model has had a few different pickups in them from the factory I believe. Mine has v60lp’s and an SSV in the bridge. They are not high output pickups, so I was wondering if I was gonna be able to get a tone like yours with them

[@jamesdaviesguitar]

@@binilgn5941 yep, same pick ups in yours then :)
I find them quite high output.. maybe raise your picks up? Bit low?
