1 Year of Electric Guitar Progress (Self-Taught, 2 Hours a Day) (OUTDATED)

THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED!!! A new and updated version, that includes up to the 2nd year of playing is out now!!! Here it is: • 2 Years of Electric Gu...
IMPORTANT INFO:
I actually started recording myself from the 4th month, so the first 4 clips (first day, 1 month, 1 and a half month, 2 months) are just a decent approximation of what I rememember I could do back then. Everything else is a completely real progression.
My initial goal whas to practice 4 hours each day for the whole year, but due to my first year in college I couldnt practice that much, so some days I would practice up to 5 hours, but others i would do it for just 1h. Because of this, the total average was reduced to 2 hours/day.

this is an example on also why knowing your fret board is rlly important when playing guitar, i wish i had knew that when i started playing it rlly wouldve helped me alot

[@digineet8421]

Something that has helped my shredding and improvisation is setting a metronome and practice switching between different subdivisions. Go like 8ths, 8th triplets(3 notes per beat), 16ths, then 16th note triplets(6 per beat). Do different sequences so like 1-2-3 for triplets and 1-2-3-2 for 16ths. When you can feel how they relate to eachother and instantly switch your shredding will clean up alot.

[@kintokigintoki9923]

Dude this progress is disgustingly insane. Doing all of this in your first year of college is super impressive. As a fellow college student, I feel the pain of not being able to practice due to its demands. What did you do to practice shredding so cleanly? I’ve got a lot of dead notes whenever I try to shred and it sounds like I’m trying to do a Walmart version of shedding funk with no clean audiable notes lol. I find that my hands are usually not in sync and most of the time I just can’t them to play together. Also, what did you do to get that tone? Sounds amazing with all of those pinches. Nice touch on the Naruto theme. Everything from it slaps. Keep on killing it!

[@netafelizzz]

Thank you for the kind words!! I'll do my best asking your questions: For the shredding i basically practice playing up and down 3nps patterns with a metronome (using either alternate picking or legato). It took me a long time to be able to shred at high bpm. In order to develop good syncronization between both hands, it is important to start practicing it at lower bpm, low enough so you can play through the whole scale with clean technique. When you find a bmp that you are confortable at, slowly start rising it, without losing the clean technique. At some point you will end up playing at around 120 bpm (even higher if you want to), which already can be considered shredding. And for the tone, i just use bias fx 2 with an audio interface. For the shredding tone I specifically use the default preset called "Angry Goddess" Hope that helped!!

[@kintokigintoki9923]

@@netafelizzz I see. What about finger/hand tension? Usually my hand hurts quite a bit after a crazy run, though this is mostly apparent when I play chords. I’ve got my truss rod pretty much straight and action as low as comfortably possible and still feel as if I am fighting just to move around the fretboard. Then again, I haven’t been doing what you’ve suggested by slowing down. I’ll need to trust the process and move slow I suppose. Thank you for the response! If anything, I suppose I’m just neglecting what I should be focusing on which is not rushing everything. In terms of your tone, what do you have it running through? Is it through a bigger computer or one that is portable enough to fit in your bag? I’m aware an audio interface is needed (from looks of it you picked up a scarlet) to use this stuff, though it would be unfortunate if a big desktop computer is needed just to run it. I’ll be living in college dorms soon so only having access to an amp within my dorm exclusively would be a bummer since it would be difficult to transport everything. Thanks!

[@netafelizzz]

@@kintokigintoki9923 Finger and hand tension is something im still struggling with. Im getting better at it, though. Basically, in order to diminish the tension you need to use as little force as possible when practicing your scales. The force has to be low enough so you can play for a long time without experiencing hand pain and strong enough so every note gets audible. With all this technical things you just gotta take your time. If you practice them correctly without rushing, someday you end up playing them with no effort, actually feels like magic when you get them right. So good luck with your journey!! And about the tone, I'm using a big computer, but I dont really think thats really important, I think a laptop should do the work. Probably, if the computer is too slow, you will get some input lag, but i dont think it will be that noticeable.

[@kintokigintoki9923]

@@netafelizzz thank you for the advice! Yeah I have been trying to Monitor in my hand tension and there are definitely days where my fingers fly across the fretboard without any pain. It sucks when that feeling goes away because then I gotta try and find out how I did that lol. I’ll take your word and keep on going at a steady pace. Thanks for the input on the computer stuff. I was definitely worried about how my computer would react if I were to hook up an interface to it. I’ll look into it and see what else I can find. It’s definitely useful to know what I may be dealing with and I appreciate you telling me to be aware of it. Thanks!

[@netafelizzz]

Thank you!! I didnt really take too much lessons. First month i did the justin guitar free beginner course, where i learnt some basic chord changes, but after the first month i started learning by myself. What I did was, first of all, before even buying my guitar, learn music theory. And then, after getting the instrument I just started to apply all the theory i learnt before. So I learnt how to find intervals, scales and chords around the fretboard and practiced them a lot in order to get a good technique. A good way to do this is to improvise, because when improvising you first need to be able to find the scale/chord on the fretboard, and then you have to play it on time. So I improvised a LOT, and this helped me (and is still helping me) to improve my visualization, technique and overall musicality. Also, for developing technique, I sometimes learn solos by ear (as you can see in the video), and if i dont know how to use a new technique (for example tapping), i just search for a quick youtube tutorial. Hope this helped!! Edit: If you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask.

[@darkdank1341]

@@netafelizzz How did you learn to shred after 9 1/2 months?

[@netafelizzz]

@@darkdank1341 I basically grinded 3nps scales really hard with a metronome. I learnt the 7 3nps major scale patterns and just played them under a metronome up and down. Just start with a low bpm and slowly increase it over time. In a few months, you will be able to play the scales pretty fast if you practice this daily. You can do this either with legato or alternate picking. I recommend doing it with both techniques, as the two of them are very useful when playing.

@@Beloved-ji5jx I mean, Im not really that good at ear training, so i dont think I'm the one you should ask.

When it comes to melody, I think the best you can practice are call and response exercises. They consist on hearing a simple melodic phrase and then trying to replicate it on your instrument. Aditionally, you can also do intervallic recognision exercises. There are plenty of apps out there for this purpose. And for chord progressions, what I do is just use this website: www.hooktheory.com/theorytab/difficulties The site has lot of songs, and it sorts them by chord progression difficulty. Just pick a level in which you feel confortable and try to guess the progression of the songs. After you do your guess, you can check if you were right or wrong.

Hi!! To figure out what to practice, first of all you should know what your final objective is. Do you want to play groovy, rhythm based solos, slow emotional solos, fast and shred solos or maybe a combination of all of those? Also, are you interested in just learning solos by memory, or are you interested in writing and improvising your own solos?

[@savvy1246]

@@netafelizzz improvising and basically being able to do all those kinds of styles because being able to understand how to play other styles is important to your groove.

[@savvy1246]

@@netafelizzz basically a combination

[@netafelizzz]

@@savvy1246 If you are interested in all those things, then I think I can be of help, since my goal is too to master all styles and be able to improvise them. I'm actually working on a free roadmap that teaches everything I know so far, which includes all my theory and fretboard knowledge and also my methods on practicing technique, so I think it will be pretty handy for you if that's what you want to learn. Hopefully it will be released around the end of summer. In the meantime, I can give you some basic guidelines so you can start practicing this right away. Since you have only been playing for 3 months, I would recommend you to start by building your soloing technique, you can leave the fretboard visualization and music theory for a bit later on. So when it comes to soloing, which usually involves playing just one note at a time, I identify three main blocks of technique one should practice. These are: picking technique, legato technique and articulation. I'll briefly go through the three of this and will give you some exercises to practice. Picking technique: This refers to any technique in which you use your pick to play each individual note, this includes alternate picking, economy picking, sweep picking... I could write 9999999999 words about picking, but for now I'll just give you a basic exercise for you to start familiarizing yourself with the movement. Just pick any scale shape (major, minor, pentatonic...) and play it up and down, picking every note trying to alternate pick, wich means playing both downstrokes and upstrokes. You may notice that sometimes is more comfortable doing two consecutive downstrokes or maybe two consecutive upstrokes when changing to the next string, which is totally fine, that is called economy picking, and is the way I pick. I actually find strict alternate picking not practical at all. And that is it, just play the scale up and down with a metronome and keep increasing the bpm each day. When you feel comfortable with it, try applying variations to the order of the notes, and also try creating melodies that sound good to your ear. Legato technique: Legato is basically playing notes without your right hand, and you do so by doing hammer-ons and pull-offs. If you are unfamiliar with this terms, I recommend you to search for some tutorial since is very difficult to explain with a yt comment. After you understand what legato is, then you can start practicing it for example by playing the pentatonic scale with it: pick the first note of each string and play the second one with a hammer-on if you are ascending or a pull-off if you are descending. And like with the picking technique, use a metronome and slowly increase the bpm, and once you are comfortable with the technique, you can start noodling a bit and figuring out some melodies. Articulation: This is actually the best part of a soloing guitar, the articulation, which means in what way do you play each note. The electric guitar brings you a wide variety of ways you can articulate your notes: vibrato, slides, bends, bends with vibrato, palm muting, pinch harmonics, whammy bar in case you have one... Mastering articulation will bring a lot of life to your solos, this is where the "feel" of a solo comes from. I would suggest you to start with slides and vibrato, since they are easier and then go into bending. For now I recommend you to search for tutorials for each one of this techniques, specially for bending, It is VERY important to bend the right way, unlike me on more of a half of this video hahah. Well that's all for now at least, I wish you luck with your guitar journey, and feel free to ask any other question.

@@netafelizzz thanks for the information and we use with whatever you gave me to my advantage but let me tell you that I actually have gained lots of speed and I use metronome and practice at a slower beat per minute which actually help me gain speed and it just cleaned up my technique overall and I already have the picking down for the most part it’s very smooth and it goes whichever way it wants to I don’t really even have to think about it but it’s just having trouble from trying to switch scales like a good example is pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan you can hear the scale switch but I am most likely like blues but I love so many other genres it’s just very hard trying to connect other keys in notes because sometimes The next note isnt wrong or right it’s just a note that you’re looking for. And another good example is riviera paradise. oh my God you have to hear it he does so many things and I love blues and I think I might be learning my augmented or diminished scale next I’m not sure but have a listen to the song I put a link the solo is at 7 minutes but the whole song is brain melting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZeqc4R-gpZ4sKs&feature=share8

[@idistortyou_8914]

i’m at the point where i’m pretty comfortable with power chords and open chords, should i learn barre cords? i’m just kind of stuck on what i should learn (edit) i also know pentatonic minor

[@netafelizzz]

If you are already comfortable with power and open chords, barre chords are the next step. They can be a bit difficult at the beginning, but when you get them right, the whole fretboard will open up to you, which is awesome. So yeah, go for it!! I suggest you to start with the E and A shape barre chords (major and minor) Also, about the pentatonic scale, i would recommend you to try using it for improvisation if you havent already. Just pick any backing track here on youtube and try playing some licks over it using the scale. This will expand not only your technique, but also your musicality and timing. After gaining some experience using the first position of the pentatonic, you could learn the other 4 CAGED positions one by one and learn to connect them, which will give you lots of freedom on the fretboard. There are lots of tutorials on how to do this on youtube, but if you still have doubts just ask me. Thanks for watching and good luck with your journey!!

I'm not saying you're lying you might actually be a natural talent, but it's not normal to be able to play Eruption without many mistakes in a year I'm just saying.

[@netafelizzz]

There isn't much I can tell you to prove that this is true, Its up to you if you believe it or not. All I can tell you is that i dont have any kind of "natural talent", In fact I dont belive that thing even exists. The only thing I did my first year of playing was practicing A LOT. I practiced at least 2 hours each day without skipping a single day (this is not an estimation, I count the hours I play), and did lots of technical exercises under a metronome. Also, I didnt just play eruption like that on one take, I had to do probably over 50 takes in order to get the one you can see on the video (which still has mistakes).

[@platinumencasedpenile4812]

@@netafelizzz I think you did it. I've had to do multiple takes to get something right and even then it doesn't sound how I want it.

[@robford3211]

Now that you know how to play very fast and loud you need to learn to play slow and with little sound and great feeling. Ever seen great blues acoustic players play fast ? Almost never.
