The ACPG 30 Day Guitar Technique Challenge: Day 5

[@moogsick]

still here!Buck and Marr two of my favourite players who really inspired me to pick up guitar. Love this style of playing

[@MarquezGallegos]

These are great! Definitely checking in daily to pick up some technique tips!

[@jhilsanders]

I'm still here. I am adding each new exercise to my daily practice routine.

[@sirtogii5216]

Great exercise and definitely something I need plenty of work on.

[@ryanreeves8931]

I'm an experienced player who has played on multiple studio recordings, tours and various bands. I decided, what the hell, I'll follow along. Most of it has been simple for me, but boy today, I've discovered my weakness and a skill that I need to work on! Thank you!!!!

[@NickBirch-x2q]

Loving this series. Great idea and executed perfectly! Thank you!

[@el0blaino]

Great little exercise - simple idea, musical, and GOOD FOR YOU!

[@kmabarrettyt]

Another great lesson! Thanks!

[@brianreslow9599]

Still with you. Working hard to stay focused and keep moving forward.

[@skeletonkey6]

Great exercise Adrian! It took me a couple of days to get it under my fingers, but I did, is what counts! thanks mate

[@iantaylor827]

Still with you Adrian. This is very cool. Thanks

[@AllyNewns]

Good stuff! I’m in a bit of flux atm with how much I’m sticking my pick out and my hand position, so this is perfect for exploring that in an exercise.

[@Skellomaniac]

Adrian's tutorial of Spellbound by Siouxsie and the Banshees is definitely a fun song to play if you want to practice this!

[@koreyarmstrong456]

Oh boy, at the start I said I need help with my picking accuracy and this exercise should help with that! Thank you

[@SwinginBluesTube]

That sounds so cool. Thanks for the lesson.

[@yocky]

Nice. A Design for Life vibes

[@Chimp_No_1]

Really appreciate these videos ! Thank you for sharing !

[@incredibledisc]

Really enjoying these exercises. I’d made a decision this year I was going to try and sharpen my technique up (only taken me 36 years!) Already feeling the difference in my alternate picking from doing the spider exercise every day for 10 minutes. I often come up with little sequences like this but my picking is sloppy and inconsistent - going to make myself go slow and focus on getting that sequence properly nailed.

[@KevIn-tu4fv]

great one !

[@The_Macaroon]

glad u said it was challenging - definitely tricky to get it perfect

[@mamutcat]

Day 5- right with you

[@thecaveofthedead]

This one is great for me actually. This is something I almost never do, don't do it properly when I do, and usually just rely on hybrid picking which tends to give me slightly uneven volume.

[@markr.vandewall3009]

nice one, thank you

[@ekw555]

I thought you might lose me on Day 3, but I stuck it out. Well, not w/ the Bdim . . . but the rest of it went ok. Thanks, Adrian!

[@koho]

Adrian - these are great so far. My only compliant is the that the video names don't tag the exercise. Well into the future I'll be referencing these. Makes it a little harder to find the "hammer-on/pull-off" lesson, etc. Any chance of adding a couple descriptive words to aid search?

[@nonameishereagain]

I was also going to suggest this! It really does help down the road and would be greatly appreciated!

[@SandiGlowe]

it might be that if he puts the name of the exercise in the title people would be like "ah I know how to do this, not worth checking out", instead this way he gets more people to watch and even those who know those things already might get something from it

[@koho]

@@SandiGlowe Good point. But I wonder if in some cases a title might actually help, e.g., for someone looking for a good hammer on/pull off exercise. vs. seeing 30 vids all with the same title. Hard to say?

[@joev4483]

Thank you ❤

[@danieli.9252]

I'm going to devote a lot of time to this one. Fast, slow, swing tempo, different chord shapes, etc.

[@stephens5807]

This one’s kicking my arse. Good thing my metronome also goes to 11 !

[@JustinTaylor1098]

Nice one Adrian

[@craigesson6944]

sounds great

[@DomingoCaro-h5v]

Hi how are you rock on dude l am learning to play guitar basic power chords you are a perfect guitarist

[@mellojello766]

This is mental

[@OriginalMixedUpKid]

Here✋️ Man, this one was frustrating at first but getting there.😇

[@koho]

Spot on re Marr. Move the C shape to C# and you're close to Some Girls are Bigger Than Others!

[@votemiles]

Keep it comin'.

[@kbelltv]

Day 5 ☑️ Got here early today so I can work this exercise into today’s practice sessions.

[@ChrisJones-ht9zn]

I'm loving these lessons. I'm determined to learn guitar properly this year (heard that one before). I have ADHD and need encouragement. Is there anyone out there in the same situation who fancies buddying up on these courses?

[@moogsick]

yep, fellow ADHD afflicted here. It makes the consistency required to learn guitar a real struggle. Happy to give a buddy up a go

[@andrewmcarthur3843]

I like this one alot. Any tips for muting the A string when you play the open E as the root?

[@MattHerrettMusic]

Five days in. Well done lads and lasses, How's it going?

[@davidmarsh9897]

Still here my son, still here!

[@supermeiki]

Tabs would be graet

[@Mark70609]

Basically like playing What difference does it make?

[@disprefer]

These are amazing; I'm so grateful. But why is the thumbnail a telecaster when you're teaching with your jazzmaster!?

[@TomTom-kv5nf]

❤❤❤

[@tmbrwn]

Sounds like Radiohead's Let Down. Really nice.

[@maksymkotok483]

Reminds me street spirit somehow😅

[@ianwalsh9552]

Let's have it right, when he's done the full month we can all afford a fiver or something for the appreciate playing, this is a one off. I'm gonna put into the kitty.

[@JohnFrancisShade]

Welp, after years of sloppy and mostly random chord arpeggios, I'm finally going to learn where each string is by feel. Growth hurts.

[@ricopedrajrs]

....Sounds good, too, to impress da ladies:>)

[@HughRogers609]

I've sucked at this for over 10 years. I don't think there is an exercise out there that will help me, I've tried them all. Often I can fingerpick arpeggios better, but these aren't always suitable when picks are needed.

[@patpatisserie4245]

Same. I'm rubbish with a pick.

[@reidhowland]

This style of playing was my bread-and-butter when I was starting out in the late eighties - Pete Buck and Roger McGuinn FTW!

[@yontonmehler]

Why is this one so deceptively difficult??

[@nikelburger6396]

First

[@woawh5616]

Hey not sure if this would be helpful with other exercises as well but might be good to link to some songs you've done tutorials on to practice stuff like this more. Any songs you'd recommend? A night like this by the cure is a fun one.
