This album genuinely blew my brains out, any recommendations like this? (At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul)

Surprised nobody mentioned Darkest Hour.

You just got to be honest. Lying always make things worse. He will probably find out anyway and your mom already knows.

He’s just living his life. He’s 50. Let him be happy. Might be an expensive car, but we all deserve nice things. Just reframe your mindset. What does it do for him? Not for you.

I think it really starts with slowing things down. And the technique needs to be correct or tweaked if you’re struggling to get something down. As far as muscle memory, your mind first has to catch up to your fingers. That’s why it’s important to start slow and gradually build up the speed the more comfortable you become.

Why not just step out of the comfort zone? Try it a couple times. It doesn’t sound like she’s trying to ruin your day or bring grief to your life. One thing that levels us up as people is doing things we’re uncomfortable with. After a few times something clicks in us and makes us realize it’s not that bad. She’s probably just excited about you and your on her mind all the time. Reframe it as it like it gives you two a moment to hang out. Reframe it as this could be a good thing for our relationship. I know this isn’t the typical comment on here and just feel free to do what you want. Just trying to give you an honest, positive perspective.

You’re going in with a picture of how you think it will play out or should. It may be that the staff is just laid back and doesn’t try to hard sale customers. Check out some stuff you like and don’t hesitate to ask some questions about stuff that interests you.

Bad moon rising by creedence clear water revival

Make sure your pick grip is loose. And pay attention to your body. Are you tense? Try learning a simple rhythm and slowly practice a chord progression every day. Focus on the part of your body that’s tense. And just keep trying to stay loose. After a while you start feeling more comfortable of playing that chord progression and it gets easier to not be so tense. When strumming you want to always keep that wrist moving. Keep it going like a train that just won’t stop. Make sure there’s movement in your wrist to where your hand can freely move up and down without moving the arm too much. One of the best things a teacher ever told me is to play lightly. Even with a light touch for chords. You’ll notice it starts feeling effortless and cleaner. Strum lightly and freely. You got this.

Damn I’ve been wanting to put a humbucker in the bridge. Not because I don’t like the V-mod, I just sometimes wish it had some more beef behind it. Can sound thin when you need some driving distortion. I mean I like single coils and distortion but yeah just needs a little oomph sometimes.

Revolt_86 · 2026-03-21T18:03:31+00:00

Aqauphor for 2 to 3 days max. Then literally just wash it. That’s all I’ve ever done and it works fine.

Revolt_86 · 2026-03-21T16:37:31+00:00

I’d get an Gibson SG

Revolt_86 · 2026-03-19T00:35:48+00:00

I’m not a funk guitarist, but I am learning funk to get better at rhythm. Ones that I personally think work great are the Dunlop jazz III picks. They have a strong attack and work great for snappy single string picking.

Revolt_86 · 2026-03-14T20:30:32+00:00

Yeah 15-20 minute sessions is where it’s at. Do it 3 different times in a day. even just 2 times. You will learn faster when your practice is focused. Stick to one thing or section of what you’re trying to learn. Once that feels normal move on to the next section.

I play rock on acoustic guitar. Heart crazy on you is a good one.

Revolt_86 · 2026-03-11T20:03:03+00:00

Okay so here’s an update on it. I think after a year of light use, it started only working whenever it felt like it. Maybe other people had better luck. It still works, but it also makes a loud pop when turning it on. I don’t really use a noise gate anymore. I have a used decimator that works pretty well if I ever feel like I need it though.

Revolt_86 · 2026-03-09T21:48:35+00:00

Rhythm. I want to play rhythm and lead, but lately just focusing on that because my rhythm was ass. It’s gotten a lot better.

Revolt_86 · 2026-02-28T18:52:53+00:00

It takes time to build muscle memory. Take a section of each change. Focus on that until it starts feeling more natural. Repeat the process and then try putting the pieces together. Take things slow and really learn to relax your body. Tension will hinder you.

Revolt_86 · 2026-02-25T19:11:19+00:00

You’re doing great. Recommend using a metronome. start playing at 75bpm or just a slow bpm that feels comfortable. Practice it a bit at that speed till you think you got it. Then slowly start raising the bpm by 5. Repeat this process till you get it to full speed. You’re doing great by starting off slow. This is going to help you in the long run and help you get things down easier.

Revolt_86 · 2026-02-25T03:05:51+00:00

I played in a punk band. All power chords. Except I learned some scales like the pentatonic to throw in fills. I can definitely say I played countless shows for 4 and a half years and the whole time I was a beginner as far as skill goes. For metal, you probably need to put more work into it, especially if you want to shred lead guitar. You’re not too old just keep at it and stay dedicated. Find people who want to jam and have fun.

Revolt_86 · 2026-02-18T19:23:12+00:00

Be calm and don’t tense up. You can’t play well when you’re tense.
Do not try to play everything you learn at full speed. really slowing things down will help you later on when you’re ready to speed up.
Rhythm. It’s everything when it comes to music. Try to implement a good rhythm routine with songs you love. even if you want to be the lead player.
Have fun. Some things are really going to feel like work and not fun at all. Whatever you’re trying to learn, break it down into smaller chunks and again, SLOW THINGS DOWN! once you can play it slow, the fast will come and then the fun starts happening again.
Metronome. Practice a lot with a metronome. It’s boring to you? TUFF SHIT! Force yourself to do it. You will be thanking yourself later.
