I´m also a decent rhythm player and I´m getting better at soloing (not very good at the moment though :wink: ).]]> Opinions and Polls Staffan https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/3/#post-365707 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/3/#post-365677 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 16:41:31 +0000 Opinions and Polls rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/3/#post-365677 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/3/#post-365647 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 06:33:41 +0000 Opinions and Polls Johnny Lee https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/3/#post-365647 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/3/#post-365535 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 20:09:57 +0000
#1: Playing songs in a single guitar arrangement and being able to sing to them all. (The singing is horrible at best, but I still do it. Privacy has it's positives) I can normally pick up the basics of a song in short order. Sometimes the first or second attempt. It's whenever the feel comes to me. I have a very strange method. Needless to say, none of it is note for note.

#2: Having fun, like TR said, is probably what I am best at. I rarely "practice".

I'm slowly getting the hang of doing some ad-hoc lead playing. My short term memory isn't entirely under my control right now, so I don't cover any leads other than a signature riff or two. Even then, I forget the riff in a few weeks if I don't play it every day. right now, I think I can play one riff as designed.

edit: I am also exceptionally gifted at making any Strat (real or knock off) sound like crap. It's as if it were my life's calling.]]> Opinions and Polls rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/3/#post-365535 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/3/#post-365524 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:44:09 +0000
As for REAL fun and what I'm good at, I've gotten quite good at playing rhythm and my timing is almost perfect. I just need to keep studying theory and commit it to instinct rather than having to think about what notes to use in a scale while constructing chords and shapes all of the time. Thankfully I've got a great teacher...]]> Opinions and Polls SaintVitus https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/3/#post-365524 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/2/#post-365506 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 05:42:23 +0000
I realy DO enjoy playing... Ive had bad times in the past when I just wasnt getting it, and got so upset about it, I put it down.. Im still a very early stages player, but now Ive gotten to the point that I realy do enjoy it all the time, and I have a few "feel good" stuff I can fall back on when I get frustrated with learning something. I am also just starting to write stuff. Ive been writing poems for about a year now, and slowly changing my style more toward song writing. I find it realy enjoyable, and also a real nice way to deal with issues in my world. I can put some of that bottled up emotanion into words, and realy helps keep the mind clear!!! I cant realy grasp the act of coming up with my own music yet though... I hope it comes with time... but if not, I still have the words, and maybe one day I can hook up with someone that can write music, and beable to proform my own stuff. Yea, it's a great thing as a guitarist to be able to just turn your inner world into a piece of art. Something that represents how you were feeling at some point in your life. I look back at my old songs and it amazes me. It seems like so long ago that I was in that "space", and I can't relate to it anymore. But I'm glad I grabbed it while it was hot and turned it into a song instead of letting it just fade.]]> Opinions and Polls Johnny Lee https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/2/#post-365506 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/what-do-you-do-well/paged/2/#post-365420 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 13:14:55 +0000
