Here’s a pretty easy little number I’ve been playing recently. Except for the lead, it’s pretty straight forward In E
Electric guitar...

That one you can actually play seated without it cutting off your leg circulation unlike a king V etc. The floyd rose will make you get really good at tuning because they go out of tune after every Van Halen song you play.
I can fully recommend this Schecter, it is a total dream to play:

It might be a dream to play but I'm still a nightmare to listen to LOL...That one you can actually play seated without it cutting off your leg circulation unlike a king V etc. The floyd rose will make you get really good at tuning because they go out of tune after every Van Halen song you play.

I'm starting to understand a lot of stuff and gain knowledge of the guitar and I'm able to get the cords to ring out a little better but not really good. As anybody knows this is going to take some serious time... Seamlessly slipping from OneNote to the other is still years away it seems like... Between work and my obsession with my power wagon build I still find at least 20 minutes if not more each and every day to play with the guitar. And practice... I feel when the day start getting longer again and I get this truck wrapped up I'll have much more time to dedicate to it as well. In the meantime I still go for my half hour less and every Thursday night... And again try and play at least a half hour every day... I probably miss maybe 2 days a month..
The last easy song I was strumming was white rabbit...

Keep at it man, it's worth it. All those rock gods are human like you and me and one day you'll be playing and realize you just nailed their sound. I still get goosebumps
"No One Like You" is one of those songs where you almost have to have 2 guitars in order for it to sound anywhere near right.
Notice how you can hear one guitar stop playing when the other one comes in, and also sometimes overlap.
This is especially true with the acoustic and eclectic playing different parts.
...and it's not "just" one playing one part and the other a different part at the same time.
The musical verse is not complete without both.
Because of the pauses, it doesn't really "resolve".
REAL hard to get that to sound right on just one guitar.

The 2012 Schecter that I've had since about 2015 has a Floyd and has actually never gone out of tune!
I don't ride it like Dimebag Darrel, but it's done it's share of divebombs, even to complete slack.
In fact, when I got it home, the first thing I played was Judas Priest's "Heavy Duty" which has a couple dive to slack parts and a power chord while slack with release to ring. I've played that song since it came out in 1984 and had never been able to do the dives. That was a "happiness for the soul" kind of day.
I've never even changed the strings on that guitar and I'm kind of intimidated to do it.
Youtube, here I come...when the time comes.

I'm pretty sure my gtx50 has a looper...
Couldn't tell ya how it works.. no instructions.. just says look on line...
Way back when, my brother in law wrote a book and recorded a tape to go with it. Definitely not for a beginner. He has since passed away, and we inherited one of his guitars and the master copies of Wicked Licks.
Where to go from here? A friend is a music teacher, and a great guitarist, may have to sit down with him.
Wicked Licks was created before internet and of course youtube.

The problem with using a delay/loop for "No One...''' is that the guitars have totally different tones and play oddly timed parts which overlap.
One is clearly very clean and possibly acoustic.
The other either heavy overdrive or mild distortion.
Operating the delay and the channel/distortion at the respective proper times will be challenging to say the least.
There may even be three guitars in that particular passage.
If you can do it, I'd love to hear it.
BTW- thanks for posting that link.
I haven't watched it yet but I will.
Perhaps that will reveal the secret.

Is this what you guys are talking about> Louping? Ed Sheeran does that in his first song here and explains it at 6:30. Pretty cool stuff.

If you can play that Tush by ZZ top I think is the same frets /scale/chords.
And the same notes or variation thereof...
Any old "standard" tunes from the 60s bands will be good to learn, Yardbirds, Cream etc. no funky alternate tunings and all standards musically. Sabbath, the first two albums were in standard tuning. Paranoid was a good album to play along to as a beginner...

Yes I do a little of the Sabbath practicing.. of course Sweet leaf which is pretty easy and iron Man which I have a little trouble with the triple 9-10 slide fading.. my guitar teacher kind of pics every slide but he's really good. I can turn it up super duper loud and make it work but... Of course I do try crazy train in the fingering part is starting to come just a little bit...If you can play that Tush by ZZ top I think is the same frets /scale/chords.

I tried to practice my major and minor scales to start off and keeping my E-A major and minor flat and sharp bar chords memorized...
Again I seem to be gaining knowledge but seemingly moving from one to the other and making them ring out correctly every time seems to be the challenge that's going to take some serious time...
Arrgh! got 30 seconds into it and STOP! distortion = racket!
Oops... I'm a little more country than that... now, back to the regular program

She's a much more popular You Boober than you are... She has stickers and t-shirts... LOL...Arrgh! got 30 seconds into it and STOP! distortion = racket!

now, i have T-shirts AND mugs
but I'm not popular.... LOL.
She's probably fantastic, but I'd have a headache in another 30 seconds of nothing but distortion.
