This was at my church talent show, yeah I unplugged the guitar trying to slide it against the mic stand. Most of it was caught, kinda reverby, hope you enjoy this, it was 2 years ago as well. This is something I probably wrote in 2005, taking alot of ideas from stuff I liked such as DBZ, van halen, yngwie, satriani, ritchie blackmore's rainbow all sorts of influences in that one piece.
I haven't really had too many gigs in virginia, so I only really get to play at my garage, nobody to play with...boo.

@ Headphones - Yes @ Cool guitar dude - Understand that OP's perspective of people's opinion of him may not be accurate. Yes, he is well-liked, yes he is popular.
But there will ALWAYS be some fuckers out there who rally against you if someone like that neighbour brings up the matter.
@ OP - I am going to save up for an electric guitar, any advice? I'm a noob and all but I do want to pick it up.
If you're using that stack outside, I have no idea what the fuck you are doing tbh. If some kid was playing guitar on his lawn with an amp like that, I'd be pissed too.

Start with something in the 200$ range. My first electric guitar was an ibanez grx20, i got it when I was 14. it was a decent guitar with some humbuckers, black, it did its job. but really don't spoil yourself, start small you might not have a big desire to play all the time.

that wasn't my big stack, I use a smaller marshall amp. mg series. I would say the poor neighbor gets most of the blast. The walls soak up the sides alot. Basically am playing the settings half volume and the master volume is under 3 usually. So its more of a I just play too dang much.
Everyday.. wow man you gotta stop. Not much to say there. If you play once a blue moon and he bitches then fuck him, but I don't think I could be subjected to even Eric Clapton every single day.
Edit: I will admit I am sorta a freak though. I can listen to a song over an over or an artist for a very long time every day. I like to learn eveything by the artists I love.
I would honestly, 100% be so very annoyed at listening to someone playing their guitar after about the first day. There are so many options better than blaring it on your front lawn. Living close to your neighbors comes with some certain basic responsibilities and you should really respect those.
Edit: I'm also noticing this is more of a thread to show off your guitar skills rather than ask if you should play outside. For proof I point to the random videos of you playing.

It isnt about asking if I should play outside, in fact I asked NOTHING about advice, or whether I should play or not, I was venting. I dont care for sympathy , or if I was somehow right, I know Im wrong.
And its my blog. My events. I like derailing it.
Thats an interesting guitar, maybe cool to bring it along and record some quick idea or something.

k so I'm at the point where I'm trying to get good at lead guitar cause rhythm is kinda boring me now... I'm not taking lessons anymore so I'm really just trying to learn myself. so a question: when you're picking fast (doing scales and solos and whatnot and not like the same note over and over), are you supposed to angle your pick or keep it parallel with the string? Or is it personal preference?
and to go on topic a little: I would just play it safe and try not to push things until you move out
