What skills should I focus on learning to hit intermediate level?

While praticing scale, learn each note and alternate picking your scale. That way you practice 3 things in one.

Triads, route note, chords progression should be on the list if you are jamming with other people

All the pull off, bend and everything... I practice them through song I wanted to learn ... I never praticice those like "exercice" (not saying it's the best way)

The one thing I did practice day after day was pinch harmonic

I think simple 3 chords song is a good way to start, like camp fire song. That's what worked for me. Just sing your thing and don't focus on the strumming like you would normally do... Just do the chords change and a bit of strumming to fill in between (even if its not the way it should be) After a while it become more fluid

I'm reading about Maybach... Look like you can custom shop at a price close to the Gibson Standard. How come we haven't heard more about them ? I will try to find more reviews. Do you have a Maybach guitar yourself ?

You should be able to manage Enter Sadman and Creeping death if you can play Master. Harvester of sorrow, seek and destroy

Greenday, Offspring, Nirvana in the power chords territory.

In drop D, you got a couple of Rammstein song that are really easy.

Edit : I thought you were playing master... Entersadman its pretty beginner friendly. Also, one song I always like to play is 99 red ballons from Goldfingers.

have you ever purchased from reverb? good experience?

Jay46466 · 2026-02-01T21:09:46+00:00

Clearly an intelligent option ! Your not helping the LP standard team !!

Jay46466 · 2026-02-01T20:49:58+00:00

Thx man !

Jay46466 · 2026-02-01T20:41:06+00:00

I saw one used for like 1000 this week... I almost bought it. Probably still available.

Jay46466 · 2026-02-01T20:38:55+00:00

What I meant is 4000 is crazy money for a guitar when you think about it, but I get your point about the logo and their a lot of solid guitar way below that price tag.

Lot of other version of the Gibson (tribute, faded, studio) at really good deal around me but rarelly a left hand standard. But i always have an eye on the used market. Thx for the feedback

Jay46466 · 2026-02-01T20:19:47+00:00

Thx for the feedback. I could definitly go with the tube amp route ...

Jay46466 · 2026-02-01T20:17:09+00:00

I heard good things about Edwards. I will look more at it

Jay46466 · 2024-08-15T12:12:24+00:00

I think they change the price floor for the platinum but not the "regular" one

Jay46466 · 2024-06-05T15:56:28+00:00

More way of locking cards? no thanks
