This was rough to watch, just because you can make this a lot easier to play and sound way better by using open G tuning and a $10 slide. Here's the video I watched to learn. kzbin.info/www/bejne/moSTqIJ8j85rh9ksi=W7pF9rJpGm_w58Cd

@TheStrugglingGuitaristАй бұрын
Truthfully, it's because I'm a n00b, and when I find a setting I like, I'm reluctant to play with it too much. 😂 However, I will add that whoever modded the guitar before I bought it, didn't hook up the switch right. It has 5 positions, two of which don't work, and the others feel off. I keep meaning to take it in one of these days but never get around to it.

@TheStrugglingGuitaristАй бұрын
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave both the humbling compliment and excellent suggestions! I know the riff to Iron Man (who doesn't lol), but I never have looked into N.I.B. I'll check it out asap. Seek & Destroy is fantastic stuff! I thought about it but there are a lot of different parts in that 7 minute song. I didn't know where to start or how long a video people would sit through. lol Believe it or not, I haven't tried Enter Sandman. It's added to my soon to learn list. And Poison by Alice Cooper - Hell yeah, I know that one! Thanks for the awesome reminder! Added to the short list.

Couple tips: you can just "walk" your way up the neck.. E, G, A, B... one form, only the E has open strings.. and 2, tune your guitar before making a video 😅 always tune UP to pitch, never down, especially with a "Les Paul"..
@TheStrugglingGuitaristАй бұрын
Excellent tip about walking up the fret! I'm still enough of a beginner that often I'm so caught up in just memorizing, and not analyzing. Good call. And LOL, I know. <Sigh> The tuning was not great. I originally did tune, but flailed away on it long enough to knock it out. 😂 Tuning properly is still a weakness I need to work on. I appreciate the tip on "tuning up"! 🤘

@@TheStrugglingGuitarist So, I did watch it. I have been "working on" this riff for a month or so and your video helped me realize that I had been playing it wrong. Haha. I knew something sounded wrong about it. How long have you been learning? I've been... "learning" for 15 years or so, but I have gotten nowhere because I keep getting frustrated and quitting. I also took about 7 years off when I went to college and it consumed my life.

Whoops, somehow I missed your reply. Sorry about that! Yeah, that's the cool and often super frustrating thing. There are usually a ton of different interpretations of a song, and often I need to find the right one to make it click or else I've been known to spin my wheels. Glad my video helped! I've been playing for 4-5 years and I've definitely stalled a few times. I don't know how it works for you, but I found that when I have a teacher, I feel the urge to practice "for them" as much as myself, so as not make an ass out of myself. (Which of course still happens. 😂 )
