I cannot decide if I like these headless guitars. Whenever I see one it always draws my eye to it immediately and I think it looks kind of cool. But then I think about how the guitar may feel without it and how it may become a pain to tune and that puts me off.

I have never even tried one before so ...

Fingers crossed that it does for you.

Hi and welcome to the forum

I have been a similar off and on player myself but also a collector of guitars that I think I am going to play but ultimately end up not doing!

Do you think the operation on your hand will fully restore the ability to play properly or is it a case of waiting and seeing?

Welcome to the forum. Some nice playing there! I can't comment on the mix other than it sounds good on my speakers.

Good luck with your project. I’m a iPhone user so can’t help with testing!

Hey greenmanblues and welcome to the forum.

Glad to hear you are back into playing again. Are you playing alone or still with others?

I have edited the original post to include the photo

You can email it over to me admin@ and I’ll take a look if you like.

Can you repost the photo as it didn’t come through

Even though I have been playing for years I still struggle with getting all the notes to ring out on acoustic. I don't have the issue on electric. It seems the higher up the fretboard I go, the less chance I have or it working out. I have kind of given up on it now and often use my thumb to get the ...

I used to play a lot and also found my fingers would sweat a lot. I found that I was having to change strings almost every week. Because I was young and money was very tight this led me to buy cheaper strings which I would imagine would have worsened the issue.

These days I am mainly playing ...

Sounds like there is hope. I guess it's just little steps at a time and improvements come from that!

I listened to all your posted songs. You are clearly a very talented musician. Very rocking for sure - and I didn't think the lyrics were that bad at all :)

Definitely need to ensure you keep ...

That’s amazing stuff. I’m away at the moment so
I’ll give it a proper listen when I get back next week.

I’m sorry to hear that Covid played such havoc with your health. I’m sure there must be musicians around your area to continue your creative passion with. I have no idea how you go about finding ...

I definitely rushed guitar when younger too. Now I don’t have so much time for playing but I really enjoy it when I do. Still learning something about music everyday.

Personally never played in bands and always just been a bedroom player. Maybe that will change one day but I can’t see it happening ...

Hey Goatbreath and welcome to the forum

Certainly not going to get any negative judgement from this forum.

We just love guitar and music in general.

So what do you do now? Write music? Play for your own enjoyment?

I admire your ambition but I would be cautious about undertaking this as a new player. Sure thing - give it a go but I would not dedicate all your time to this. It is a hard thing to play even for an advanced player and undertaking something like this as a beginner could lead to some wasted time and ...

Very nice guitar sounds on this one. How did you record the guitar?

Hiya, sorry for the late response but I have been away.

Thanks for posting your music. This one is very chilled out. I would be interested to know how you went about composing this and what software you were using?

I don't think there is a specific time. Ideally you want to get each chord sounding perfect and easily be able to transition between them without delay. But depending on the person this can happen really quickly or take some time. You definitely shouldn't be stalling your progress by not letting ...

It normally is due to the positioning of your finger doing the barre. Experiment with rotating this finger slightly or moving it slightly up or down to avoide the natural creaes in your finger joint.

I find some barres easier than others. Lower down the nck for me is actually easier when using the ...

Like Gearnerd has said - the I-IV-V progression is as simple as it gets. Yet this forms the basis for literally thousands of hit songs. A beutiful song doesn't have to be complex. In fact, overcomplicating them can have a detrimental affect to the sound and feel.

I was always taught that a tie will carry over the same note within a new bar and threfore any instances of that note within the new bar will also carry the sharp or flat unless it is notated with a natural sign.

So in your example I would say the new note would also be Eb and any other E within ...

You have not yet peaked! But guitar ruts are a very common thing - certainly in my case.

The first period that you pick up the guitar you will almost always imemdiately see progress. But as you improve the progress seems less and less. However, if you recorded yourself a month ago to now you would ...

I am in Dorset down in the sunny south.

Do you specialise in remote teaching? And what are you using for that? Like Teams or something?

Hi Joe

Very warm welcome to the forums.

Great to have you around.

Where in the world are you from?
