shred is dead. goodbye user group forums

[shred me good]

this is just a note to anyone who care to read it. and or reply.
it could help your outlook on your guitaring. if not, sorry!

about a month ago i saw my dad play guitar for the first time since i started playing, and he blew my mind!!!
but it wasnt his speed or his tecknique or even what he was playing.
it was the fact that it was my dad playing an out of tune (tuned to open e, badly) but was playing with so mutch feeling and an inate sense of perfect timing that only comes with years of EXPIRIENCE (not necaceraly practice) and rythem that it captured me and made me realise that no matter how fast i can play, i will only be a good guitarest when i can create real emotion.
he played like he was playing 3 guitars . a simple basline on the low e sting, a nice rhtem guitar using a barred first finger, and a haunting lead played on the top 3 strings.

and today i broke my goal. i matched my guitar teachers record of 32 notes in a bar at about 180 bpm.

so thats it. im packing in my metrognome and my "wild stringdom" tutorials and my "rock diciplin dvd" and heading out to buk with a badly tuned open e acoustic to try and find an original style.

i hope that many of you distortion obsesed or you speed deamon people will soon realise that music is the only thing that can make you happy 90% of the time. dont ruin it by tring to hard.

goodbye user forums. and thank you, you taught me so little yet so mutch.

Shred is not dead... because I said so. It's only a tool in a very large toolbox. Your dad just has some different tools that he can use very well. Be grateful that you and your dad can share something so close to both of your hearts... and that he supports you in whatever you do.

Re: shred is dead. goodbye user group forums

Every note has its place, every run has a purpose, every milked note hangs as long as it shall.....you just have to mean it!!!
I survived the anal 80's perfect playing by sheer determination, I wanted to play like me, not like anybody else!
And it is still like wading through tons of crap until you hit the soulnerve.......maybe age just taught me to have more patience.
I still hit a little run or two, but I play what I feel, and if I have a halfbaked day...well I am sunk
Just play for the love of music, never mind the rest!
As you dad showed you, it is about devotion and love!!!

Re: shred is dead. goodbye user group forums

there really never was shred, there were guitarists who just played fast, fast, fast stuff and there were the other guitarists that still could play that fast fast stuff but choose not to.

Re: shred is dead. goodbye user group forums

that is a good idea, many times i find myself trying to play scales faster in front of a metronome when what i really want to do is just jam out with my band. I hate miami's cheap public transportation system!!!!!!!!!!!

theres the real answer right there folks.

Get yourself a ton of backing tracks and work out your own solos over them - thats real practising

hes just jealous hes not a mack daddy like yourself lol :dance:

and as far as practicing, i too have never thought of picking up a guitar at home purely to "hone my skills" or to just improve, getting better along the line is just a bi-product of having a ton of fun. when im playing along to track, i have a load of trouble keeping my ass in a seat, cause when i play. i have to stand up, its the only way to really get all the emotion out on it.

i think every should just chill and soak in exactly what they are doing while they are playing, each time they hit some kind of pattern or riff, they are inventing, expressing every bit of what they feel through their fingers, this is what drives me to play music and have the up most respect for other musicians

"music is the heartbeat of time" my dad.

like i said in the same thread of yours in the sound room forum just finds some nice melodic guitarists. Gilmour, SRV, BB King, most blues... look around

Slow things down. Get a good session started by listneing to something with lots of feel... Its gets the mojo going and u can go from there

By the way bro, how long did u get guitar lessons? how long have u played?

just curiuos
