I've heard H20 is cool, but it is expensive. Also, I've heard good things about the OCD. | ||

I'm more interested in somewhat unusual pedals or quirky ones. My amp can do emulation on stuff like chorus and reverb. I've heard H20 is cool, but it is expensive.

It's my first ever guitar video and I'd love to get some feedback on the approach. Have you learned in a similar fashion, are there any further tips, anything I forgot to mention or got wrong etc? I know the sound and image quality isn't perfect, sorry, but I'm hoping it's enough to understand what I'm trying to say. Any feedback is welcome, hell, maybe it even helps someone out there! (Also, +1 on the Miku pedal hehe) | ||

Your introductory riff sounds pretty scaly, though. | ||

Next I'll be practicing three-note-per-string patterns to get into 'shredding' and improve my picking hopefully! | ||

I want to pick up an electric guitar "starter kit" for £100 or whatever it is Can you recommend me or shall I just go with the one on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rockburn-Style-Electric-Guitar-Pack/dp/B0016CWTI2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425526687&sr=8-1&keywords=electronic guitar Thankyou nice video NihiLStarcraft I think people are gonna say "don't buy a trash guitar its not worth it" so is there something you can recommend? I really don't want to pay more than £100 but could go £150 if there is literally no choice in the matter :/ and then get some 2nd hand amp or whatever from ebay for 10?? edit: look there is a fair bit of stuff floating around Gumtree edit: looking at reddit and ultimateguitar forum now ... it looks like you can pick up a solid beginners electric for £150? (rather than a trash one for 100). idk how much an amp is. i want something with a strong sound like this + Show Spoiler + edit: found a 2nd hand Ibanez GSA 60 for £70...... guess i will call him tomorrow and hopefully go pick it up.... :D edit: ok now i need an amp..... lol look there are some amps here, can i get one of the 40£ ones? maybe a cheaper one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=guitar amp&sprefix=guitar am,aps oh sick apparently you can plug headphones into an amp so your house doesnt have to hear you? if you can pick a super cheap amp for me there ill go ahead and get it.... im going to get the ibanez later on today | ||

google tells me you can get a "usb audio interface" for just £5 off amazon my local music shop probably has one for a lot more than that (if it has one)....the question is do i want one of those or a plain 10W amp? probably the usb thing.... shrug | ||

Even if you can get a "High Z" audio interface you won't be going through any kind of pre-amplification which results in a gross sound. (in my opinion) (Doesn't have to be this one, I've never even tired it, but something like this: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/amPlugAC30G2?adpos=1o2&creative=55281338881&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CO6h8uX9lcQCFQ4vaQodEmIAHg) | ||

(Also, +1 on the Miku pedal hehe) Honestly, isn't it pretty self explanatory that if you only learn one position of the pentatonic that you are going to be stuck in there? Of course breaking up the fretboard into 5 position to learn more easily is good advice but already common practice or not? Take my feedback with a grain of salt though, since I am only playing for about 8 months and while i know the e minor pentatonic and a few licks it's still very hard for me to do anything with it. Maybe you have some advice for that as well. How to actually make use of knowing the pentatonic. | ||

surprisingly i remember how to play a lot from that last 2 week period that i tried to learn acoustic: c, g, e, em, a, f#, d, bm (basically hotel california chords lol) edit: looks like i made a mistake..... i have some notes slurred but i think they are playing almost every single note staccato + Show Spoiler + | ||

so i made this very quick clip, maybe you can tell me if i need to be playing on my fingertips and with my wrist further behind the guitar (which will make it harder for me and force me to use my little finger in spots where my 3rd finger can no longer hit), or if this is actually OK? thanks... see at 26s the guy in video uses his little finger whereas i use my 3rd finger.... ps if you want to record something quick try http://webcamera.io/ instead of loading up camtasia | ||
