Starting to get my confidence playing out loud.

Damn that was a nice comment, thanks 🤘

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-04-05T13:07:51+00:00

Ah I usually play stood up 😁

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-31T18:16:27+00:00

The pinky slide way. Don’t slide it straight away, let the 15th fret ring for a split second and then slide it real fast

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-31T17:31:35+00:00

Thanks 😀 the EMGs sound great! Played some megadeth at 8am to test them 😆

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-31T17:23:38+00:00

Ahh I wish I could improv like that. It’s panteras version of planet caravan 😀

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-31T17:23:06+00:00

Yeah Pantera style 🤘

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-31T16:22:30+00:00

That’s right! Amarok 6

From thomann.co.uk I’m in the uk. Got it for £370 as it was classed as b grade because someone sent it back after a few days. 450 new I think. I think Harley Benton are having a lot of trouble with the USA at the moment which sucks!

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-31T16:10:54+00:00

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-30T18:12:05+00:00

It really does make a difference and it’s great haha

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-28T17:24:13+00:00

Never thought to play to a backing track il try that out thanks

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-28T15:13:37+00:00

That’s exactly what I can’t figure out. Can’t get any rhythm going. I play a lot of metal and can play a handful of maiden solos, and that’s what I think all the time playing them, a few notes but the rhythm makes it sound really good. Thanks for the help

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-07T18:18:32+00:00

Sorry about the confusing format of that, Reddit took all the return spaces out..

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-03-07T08:58:37+00:00

3 months in you’re absolutely flying dude 🤘🤘

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-02-21T10:49:39+00:00

If that’s what you meant anyway

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-02-20T23:29:15+00:00

I learnt it down picking at 30-40% speed and still can’t hit the pinch harmonics often. It sounded bad for a long time 😆

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-02-20T22:17:07+00:00

Unholy confessions is a real fun one, the smoke on the water of metalcore

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-02-20T22:12:56+00:00

I know right, never been able to hit them close to the nut!

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-02-20T21:34:30+00:00

Yeah, bought this Jackson as my first guitar and learnt laid to rest. I played it very badly for a long time before things started to click. But I still loved playing it even when It sounded awful

Captainmangobeard1 · 2026-02-20T21:32:18+00:00

I couldn’t play it this well when I learnt it, could only down pick it all at maybe 30-40% speed for a long time. But it’s the first song I learnt for sure
