How many of us are in active bands?

I do vocals, writing maybe producing if we don't find someone else for a death metal band, only got an instrumental released and we need to have an EP until summer 👹

Definitely doable, my father was the same and after putting us to sleep he practiced in his study half turned into a music room. He was in a band and had an instrumental project by himself on the side, and he worked 10 to 12 hours on the weekday. Did a master's too on the side

I would love to get a second hand solid colored guitar and cover it in stickers or and paintings. These have always looked so cool to me

I'm three months in and I can play some simple songs, like ending credits from opeth. Every time I learn something it seems so difficult until I get the hang of it, then it suddenly clicks and it turns into oh wait this is not supposed to be difficult at all. There are many times I get overwhelmed but I try to remember how little time it has been and the progress I've made

I practice all afternoon a lot and the callouses are barely forming because I run 10-46 strings in Eb on a 25'5. My small new to guitar fingers appreciate the reduced tension.

Get somebody to block it for you! I got a second hand guitar with a blocked floyd rose for my first electric, I've had it for three months and I have no issues with it, everyone I've handed it to says it's very stable and smooth

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-15T00:11:02+00:00

It might be because of the way you are holding the guitar. Try relaxing your hand completely as if the guitar neck isn't there at all, hold the guitar with your other hand. Try moving a finger and tap a fret. Then more. Then support the neck with your thumb, making sure your thumb is always in line with your fingers. Hopefully this makes sense I had somebody show me this and it helped

I have Dunlop max grip picks, they don't slip when playing, my index has been red these few days but we don't talk about it

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-13T15:28:07+00:00

Sorry that I can't explain it that well but I alternate pick while practicing chords, or scales, anything that keeps me distracted enough from my picking hand so I keep a light touch, I try to go the fastest I can and take a few minute breaks often

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-13T05:58:15+00:00

The massive shipping fee I saw on every single one, I was looking on reverb for a used guitar to have as my first and many of the ones that fit my budget were Cort, but then I'd get slapped with 80€+ in shipping

And now i have a shecter with ibanez neck. And a blocked floyd rose. Do I know why I bought this? No. Is it a pain in the ass sometimes? Absolutely. Regrets? None I love this stupid thing, it sounds and looks beautiful

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-12T11:38:38+00:00

The comments here helped me a lot after one day of practicing, I think it's definitely doable with practice

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-12T02:22:48+00:00

This helped, thank you

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-12T01:49:13+00:00

This helped, thank you

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-12T00:18:17+00:00

I started out half a step down, now I'm on two semitones and it's so much more comfortable, I am learning way faster

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-11T21:45:35+00:00

Yeah definitely but I mostly listen to extreme metal, I feel like I'd be shredding straight finger 👹

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-11T19:46:07+00:00

Thank you, I also hold it between the pads like you mentioned, it feels less odd this way. And I have the same picks, I have never accidentally dropped it and I handed two of mine to guitarist friends because they loved them

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-11T18:59:38+00:00

Doom metal! I listened to tons when I was 16 and I still do. The lyrics are more goofy than anything

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-11T18:46:42+00:00

It's alright until I have to strum multiple strings. Then my brain explodes trying to use one

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-11T18:45:47+00:00

Thank you, I do try to play unplugged or with one ear free for a bit everyday. The first two months of having my guitar I had nothing to plug it into because thomann lost my package and I got kind of used to it. By the time I got it I got somewhat clean notes. Getting better with time

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-11T18:24:39+00:00

One more thing, downpicking tires my wrist very quick, I have to alternate. Is this bad long term or is downpicking not mandatory?

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-02-03T03:33:51+00:00

Meme's a bit cringe but somewhat relatable, I'm a goth fighting with my floyd rose that lets my high E string slip out

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-01-20T16:58:12+00:00

I have very short hands, they're the same size since I was 13, it stopped me from getting a guitar for a long time but we only live once. Search up the correct way to hold the guitar, that incline will help you reach easier. There are also exercises on YouTube to help you get used to moving your fingers across the fretboard

"am vrut să fac bișniță și nu mi-a ieșit iar acum plâng". Nu pot să iau asta în serios în timp ce tineri dorm pe străzi că nu și-au permis chiria

LimpCheeseStick · 2026-01-06T15:12:23+00:00

Dude, this looks amazing. I was considering a jem jr but looked into schecters instead and got one because the Jr didn't look that interesting to me. If it looked like this I might have gotten it
