tldr i wanna be able to play youtube tutorials/twitch streams whilst plugged my guitar into my pc edit ok so i switched preferences from using asio4all to using WASAPI (windows 7/8/vista) (set linein device as my focusrite solo) and its working. the problem with this is supposed to be latency but it looks like i'm good!! (i tried it as waveout and latency is like 1 second there lol) so now i can youtube + watch dota/trump + play guitar with it plugged in (and apparently no latency) yay. WITHOUT using headphones (i dont like using headphones) | ||

WITHOUT using headphones (i dont like using headphones) download the native Scarlett focusrite driver and use asio. As you found out asio4all will cause the other sounds to stop working. | ||

right hand side is an A chord with thumb over. i'm guessing most people dont ring out all strings when they do this? left hand side looks like ... 5x665x ? http://i.imgur.com/f4hckkR.jpg video youtu.be/Yp-jn0wfkbc?t=37 | ||

+ Show Spoiler + E---x B---5 G---6 D---6 A---x E---x The thumb can either be to mute or to play the bass note a-la Hendrix; in this case you want to hit just those 3 notes. The one on the right is just A Major: + Show Spoiler + E---5 B---5 G---6 D---7 A---7 E---x You just need to hit the right strings with your right hand; of course you do need to mute but it's better if you hit the strings you don't want to right as little as possible. | ||

im so bad at timings its taken me this long just to get these timings (and im far from finished with it) (let alone play them) timings is sooo the hardest part imo. when its played slow you cant comprehend the timing that its supposed to be played with fast, but when its played fast your brain cant cope with listening to it at that speed ... thats how i am anyway, it takes me hours to just figure out what is actually the exact timing of each note being played T.T (yes i know quavers/semiquavers/etc and got the tab that displays them now which helped, its still fucks with me for some reason). fucking gaps between notes throw me off , i remember learning that miku solo there was like 1 bar that took me 2+ hours to figure out like 5 notes coz they had a weird timing/gaps and my brain just cudnt process it) edit: uppate ... some progress i think.... cant do anymore it hurts too much again lul | ||

i cant play it fast enough but holy shit i'm so glad i got the timings down its been hard the mistake i made was using slow-played tutorial too much and not just listening to the full speed thing. which made me too confused and unable to understand how its actually supposed to be played in beat also i just got super slim slinky strings, my god they are thin its like having 3 high e strings . i dont really like it coz im used to a lot more force back on my fingers but for practicing you cant even fucking feel the strings let alone your fingers starting to hurt so im gonna roll with it OH YEAH also i realised you need to WIPE your strings down after playing otherwise they instantly go black and fucked overnight *goes to wipe his new strings* | ||

at least i think this is what you're supposed to do, its 4 notes 123x5x. i'm gonna order some standard slinky this time, the super slinky are REALLY easy to play many things with but a think a bit harder for other things like muting (because they're so small its harder to mute some of them but possibly in the long run its better overall if you get used to them). but also they aren't as satisfying to play with and sound a lot lighter (sounds and feels like i'm playing on frayed string without the amp on lol) maybe regular slinky strings are the right ones. i think they are the strings that everyone uses. i will buy 1 pack and try them out. in the past i've been using heavy strings and struggled a LOT without realising how fucking easy light strings are by comparison after trying the super slinkies (i would def recommend them for beginners who have trouble and frustration practicing!!) | ||

Want to add that 8's for electric do have there place I just don't recommend "learning" on them. | ||

Billy Gibbons plays 7s, and Jimmy Page plays 7s or 8s just to name two. The tone of bigger strings is different but i wouldn't say it's strictly better. I switched to 9s from 10s about a year ago and i think i sound better because i feel like i can hit bends more precisely than i used to. | ||

I was more talking about what to learn on. I think it's better to build up the strength early else you might never be comfortable playing a thicker gauge string. This would be an issue if the next style of music you got into called for it in its sound. So the point of what I was trying to say is it feels great to go down in gauge but hard work to go up. TLDR: I was talking about learning. 8's are perfectly fine its all preference. I just don't think you should learn on them. | ||

there's no question about it for me , absolutely i would tell a beginner to use light strings if they are struggling because it made things worlds easier for me , and less frustrating because of that . shit is different if you are a 13 year old kid who's dad or teacher is helping him along. if you aren't then you will need all the help you can get or you will spend a good year crying that you can't make a basic fucking chord transition that you've practiced every day for a year because you're using thick strings that make it harder than it should be for you now i can look at these girl guitar players and realise how they are playing with such ease with girly hands . its coz they're (probably) using 9 gauge strings that let them brush over like a feather rather than half killing themselves just to do simple things with thicker strings i will get some 10s to try tho coz i do prefer the thicker feel and tone but nothing beats being able to play with ease instead of frustration and wondering why things are so much harder than they should be after so much practice | ||

Back to the first post 10's standard for electric (to learn) and 12 for acoustic. You don't need to learn electric with 11's thats to much of a jump. After years of learning on acoustic when I started to try electric it felt like nothing. The speed and easy I could play at blew my mind. It's like running with weights on. It's not about what's easy. I also used to get asked on a monthly basis "Do you sell anything that will help build the callus on my fingers?". Talk about a facepalm moment. I'd answer "yeah, a guitar" and they would always reply "but it hurts my fingers". No fucking shit it hurts and it will keep hurting till you play long enough to build up a tolerance. | ||
