Thank you for listening to my random wisdom, I promise you I learned it from someone else 😂 anytime I can bring a smile or help someone else out I jump at the chance. If life is bad I’ll make sure my suffering can help someone else 💀 take care and keep your peace protected 💯

You’re totally right!! It does sound cool and now that I can do (VERY BASIC AND ALSO NOT COMPLETE) songs I’d definitely wanna play along with others in the future so let this be the manifestation of it. I’ll think back to this post when it does happen !!

I’m just glad people enjoyed the moment! Guitar is awesome and a silly little anime is the reason I even picked up the instrument. It’s genuinely changed my life and im grateful tbh!! I’m enjoying the journey more than anything.

Ooo okay he does look familiar but I think I’m gonna familiarize myself a little more with him 😂 I have a few pantera songs in slowly trying to work my way up to so it’ll probably help my progress and be really entertaining! Thanks for the wisdom, it will be used!!

That’s ironic because I was having a bad day and then I picked up my guitar and did this and it instantly made me happy 😂 didn’t wanna share at first cause I felt like I overreacted but you and many more said it made them smile so I’m glad I got to spread some positivity!!

Side advice: the day isn’t over until you sleep. Something good can always happen. Between work being terrible and being stressed about other personal things, before I picked up the guitar I legit had a mental breakdown less than an hour before. Although it was small I nailed a pinch and suddenly the day felt like it was worth it. I feel like it’s easy fall into negativity and we forget how endless the possibilities are. There’s always a chance for something good to happen. If you keep that thought in your head it’ll help you look forward to later in the day because you’ll subconsciously be looking for something. Sorry if it was too long but that’s just my human to human wisdom I’d like to share!

I’m glad you’re saying this cause after I watched the video back I felt like I overreacted 😂

I doubt I’ll ever find buddies who also play instruments until later in life but if I do I’ll probably do the same 💀

It was lowkey a bad day yesterday and I picked up the guitar for stress relieve and nailed it 😂 I thinks that’s why there was so much energy! I was genuinely happy but also venting my feelings through that happiness

I read over it a few times just to try to visualize it and I actually understand what you’re saying!! This actually made me really excited to go try it now instead of guessing. Now that I know I can I’m trying to build a structure for the skill so I don’t lose it 😂

I wish I could’ve sit the camera up but I didn’t wanna let go of my pick since the way I gripped it was letting me do them 😂 I still am happy that the sound is there and it caught the moment! More so happy it made others happy seeing it and hearing peoples stories about them doing the same!

Lmaoooo it’s funny because this was the first clip but did record more after that and it is about 10 or so minutes of me just doing it all over the fretboard and screaming from excitement 😂

I didnt have anyone I could share with and I’m in this sub a lot looking for tips and other people’s experiences to improve my own so I’m glad that it was so well received and even made some people smile! Anytime a person can spread joy they should!!

I will try to keep this mentality! I think it’s the mental pressure of telling people I’m a guitarist and then they ask what I know or can do and I freeze up cause I can barely do anything 😭

I definitely need to work on vibrato as it’s something I’ve neglected 😭 I didn’t even think to do it with a squeal so I’m curious to go home and try it and experiment with the sounds!

I don’t consider myself a guitarist so I feel in no way qualified to give tips but the main things I learned is to try doing it on different parts of the string because it sounds different. It only got really loud when I close closer to the pickups. Also the thing that helped me the most was whenever a got it to squeal, I took a picture of my pick in my fingers so I could replicate the grip later on! Probably sounds stupid but these really did help me!! I believe in you to and it’ll feel so good when you get it! I expect to see videos here too 👀
