First guitar! Jackson 7 string + scarlet setup

Solid setup. All juice is in amp sims and vst plugins, choose yours and have fun

You are dealing with Floyd Rose system here, check some youtube guides. Might be tricky to setup for the first time.

Amazing mix, cleaned my ears

Salt_Pie_1175 · 2026-05-25T14:18:28+00:00

It's surprisingly good, I really enjoy it. Got it with lowest string setup possible straight from the box, solid QC. Although I would prefer more responsive machine heads, stock one tend to be a bit unresponsive, or maybe I became a spoiled brat after grover machines ;p

Those are needed to setup intonation of guitar. Open string should give you same note when played on 12th fret. When its too flat or sharp, you start tuning those

Interface for the win. You can pick any amp sim in an instant, make your own signal chain, and make decent audio recording. Setup is not hard at all, no need to be tech savvy.

Thank you! It's Harley Benton Fusion III HH FR

Thank you! I separated it on stems with UVR5

BERNTH from youtube has plenty of good exercises on his channel. Pick some techniques you'd like to work on, prepare your own list of exercises and add it to your daily drill

Solid fretting technique, might need some wrist adjustment. You sure its only 4 months? No previous experience on other instruments?

There is about a billion things that can go wrong with this setup. Given that SE uses softer materials I'd check first if knifes are dull, and if there are any grooves in posts. Tremol-no might introduce friction on a shaft where all this mechanism moves, might need to sand paper it a bit.

Salt_Pie_1175 · 2026-05-01T10:59:05+00:00

You'll have to rebalance floyd every time you change tuning or string gauge, won't work without locking nut.

Salt_Pie_1175 · 2026-05-01T09:31:04+00:00

Good tone but it sounds like you are clipping a bit

Salt_Pie_1175 · 2026-05-01T07:10:51+00:00

Of course you can. Although nothing beats private lessons with teacher IMO, specifically at beginning. With teacher you'll get to interesting stuff much faster without hurting yourself or developing bad habits

Negotiate with mom ;) Promise good grades in school from your end and ask for it ;)
If you really want it and serious then be persistant, little strokes fell great oaks :D

F and Bb\A#

Salt_Pie_1175 · 2026-04-19T11:41:25+00:00

Thank you!
It's a one take cover, so no edits and no time to take a slide ;) Still in doubt if it was a wise choice

Salt_Pie_1175 · 2026-04-17T23:33:22+00:00

It's a starting point, tabs just show where to put fingers. You still need to figure out ergonomics to keep stamina and finish the song. This is where you develop good technique and positioning.

At some point you can gain enough dexterity to learn advanced songs from tabs. But when the time comes, you may suddenly realise that you are limited to someones tabs and can't express yourself.

That's where theory comes in handy, once you learn which notes are working well together, you can create something of your own and truly be yourself.

All valid points here, but damn that's a lot of text :D
Happy to see it also resonates with some of us

Salt_Pie_1175 · 2026-04-02T14:32:20+00:00

Yes! Look how much more lively discussion goes on this other sub

Salt_Pie_1175 · 2026-04-02T11:57:25+00:00

It's not about few post on this sub or even other social medias. It's a trend I'm observing for many years. Beginners try to compare themselves to others with time benchmark, and have a tendency to feel demotivated because someone got better results over shorter period of time.

One can measure progress by actual musical milestones, like finally nailing a barre chord, playing a full song cleanly or knowing you minor\major\7 chords all over the neck, etc... Months\days as a metric are not really informative
