[Play] I’m sequentially learning and playing my way through Guitar World magazine’s top 100 solos of all time. Been at this for 2 years now. I’m down to #11. This is Jimi Hendrix and Voodoo Child (Slight Return).

11 Jimi Hendrix – Voodoo Child (Slight Return) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJumY4a4Ajg Hey all! Good to be back after a few weeks. Getting close to finishing this project up. We’ll wind it up in a couple of months and I’ll be out of your hair, haha. All I knew about Voodoo Child before 🎸

[QUESTION] why is it so hard to record a perfect take

May 9, 2020

I’ve been playing guitar for 9 years. I’m not very technically proficient at guitar, I am more of a composer than a player. I have a lot of bad habits. I’m recording some metalcore guitar DIs for a edm track I am producing and I am having a really tough 🎸

After years of talking about it, I finally committed to it and put enough aside to get myself a Fender American Professional Telecaster. Always wanted a darker finish and rosewood fretboard; just prefer the aesthetics of it. This is the Sonic Gray model. She plays like a dream and I 🎸

It’s a simple 12 bar blues progression, but it plays in every possible key 6 times, following the circle of fifths – A, D, G, C, F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, F#, B E. The video is an hour long so it’s a really great way to get an hour 🎸

[NEWBIE] I (26M) have a rare genetic condition: Congenital Radioulnar Synostosis. Since birth, I can’t rotate my left palm from face-down to 180° face-up because my radius and ulna bone joints are fused together. This has affected my lifetime of playing guitar and I’m desperately asking for advice.

Link to a description of my genetic condition + an image of my twisted left arm. Congenital = since birth, Radioulnar = the radius and ulna, Synostosis = lack of rotation. TLDR at the bottom. Growing up through my teens, I was a passionate right-handed guitar player. I loved writing 🎸
