- Hi there chums 😎
So back again, after a break that has been a bit longer than I'm willing to admit xd. I'll explain whatever and whatnot about the future of this series here, but let's go over the song first :)
So a while back I found this song and though I've not seen the anime it sounds HELLA cool in my opinion especially that opening, so I decided to learn it. For now I've only done the part leading up to the chorus which I feel like is already going pretty well. By now I've also dipped my toes a little in the chorus part, but that's for next time :)
I also am pretty satisfied with the tone I managed to get here. I just put the "distortion" setting of a RAT distortion pedal to where it's juuuuuust slightly broken up, a separate noise gate just before the amp plugin (which really helped mitigate some unwanted noises and made it sound much cleaner), and two separate post-amp EQ's. One was inside of Amplitube, which "shaped" the tone coming out of the plugin. I raised the treble a bit and for the amp EQ itself also focused on treble and mid, cutting quite some bass. Gain is cranked quite a lot, as you may hear lol. For the separate after-Amplitube plugin the main goal was to "polish" the tone and get rid of any issues. I mainly focused on cutting the 250-300Hz frequencies because one massive issue I had was that my guitar sounded extremely "muddy", and much of that mud is found in these frequencies. You have to be quite careful as to not overdo EQ though, because too much treble/gain is very bad and I honestly think I may be riding the line with this one already lol.
It has also been the first time in months that I had this much fun learning a piece actually. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, I really did lose interest in playing shortly after the last video. I'd pick up the guitar at some times and just strum away some things, especially chords which I've been getting more interested in as of lately, but I think the almost 1.5 years straight of playing BTR had caught up to me and it was finally getting a bit repetitive xd. In these past four months I didn't really have any other song that I was particularly interested in so I guess the motivation to learn took a big dip there.
I have also gotten a lot more interest in some other stuff, like drawing, which I really want to get more into. As for the future of this series, I don't think I'll be as fanatic as I was half a year ago with the guitar progression. I definitely won't stop playing though, as I do absolutely still have a lot of fun learning and playing guitar, but I'll be honest that in terms of progression there probably ain't that much to be shown compared to a while back.
As I just said there are some other stuff that I want to do/am doing which I can take you guys with me too. I won't make any promises as I know that I'm an absolute beast at totally not doing whatever I write here (wink wink Guitar Loneliness and Blue Planet), but they're things that I'm quite excited about and am willing to post as well, so it might work out :)
As I said I don't plan on completely stopping with this series, I still wanna learn this song, and as always if you have any tips or tricks or questions about guitar I always appreciate it and am more than willing to help you out! So go wild :)

songs that i can recommend that helped me pick up guitar again
PSYQUI - Hysterical Night Girl, JIN - Yobanashi Deceive, Yorushika songs.

DAYUM THAT FUNKY STRUMMING THO. I've been wanting to look at some more funky songs as well so they might do good :0 Yorushika is indeed a very good option as well, I haven't really dipped my toes in there that well yet either surprisingly enough.
Thanks for the song recommendations! 🤗
@ lol yeah funky songs are fun to play. it helped improve my muting tremendously. Hysterical Night Girl is my fav and the most fun to play for me
Also i look forward to your drawings 🔥
