I'm most impressed you were doing pinch harmonics on that first dream theater one. Took me years to even realise they were a thing then a while to learn them!!
@@goatman5345 it's such a hard one to explain to people I find. I remember watching UA-cam videos and the technique just didn't click with me. Now I find I'm in the habit of overdoing pinch harmonics in my playing and have to try NOT to do too many!!!
My progress was about the same, but it still amaze me how when you put your mind into something it really does pays off. Keep it up, those riff you play at the end is way faster than most people are able to do at this stage of their learning so you are indeed learning very fast. its nice to see
I can downpick super fast (8/s) because I just found it natural when I first used a pick and then started learning Metallica, I remember wondering how Kirk would pick so fast for his riffs until I discovered alternate picking
I used to be able to downpick at a fairly high speed but I lost my down pick speed when I started to play less metal. I started guitar with wanting to play metal tho! 🔥
I found out that every starter guitar player is a god at down picking but once we break off into alt picking we become shit at it XD Mostly because i think master of puppets is one of the first songs we all try and have not yet discovered alt picking cause down picking is more natural at first.
ive been playing for 9 years on and off and honestly, you are pretty much near my level! I never really pushed myself in playing (which I now regret) so I can't play advanced level/very fast shred songs but ye im happy where im at. :) gl for the future!
the first few months are seriously the worst part. but once you get past that and you start to feel comfortable and see yourself getting better, it makes the guitar so much more fun.
Yessir I started playing in October of 2023 I thought I wasn’t going to be or atleast get really good because I started late (22) but this vid def proves me wrong… shows practice and dedication can really get you far.. Goodshit dude keep rocking🤘
heck yeah! I'm on my 3rd year, and holy you tuned down quick lol. Attempting Scream early as well! Damn. I know scream is hard af to play! Way to go man!
@@SixStringShredder Hell yeah I realized that the longer you went on! (I can do the metalcore but not the deathcore, [I just tried learning some slaughter, my fingers hurt]) new sub!
First song I really tried to deep dive into my guitar journey was at my 6 month mark. The song is Mr Scary by Dokken. Holy cow what a crazy song for a guitarist of 6 months, but I tell you what, it made me progress much faster than I would have ever thought.
I’m 10 months in never giving up guitar is literally my safe space this makes me so happy. I’m currently learning the cemetery gates riff too. Some people are saying some songs sound rough but if you dont try how the hell you gonna learn 😂
Learning songs is part of journey, but during first 2 years you should focus mostly on exercises. You can learn new songs, but exercises should be your rutine, the more the better, I know it's boring but exercises and practicing is your progress. Trust me, I've been playing the guitar for 18 years. During first few months I was so determined to learn few riffs and songs, I learned Thunderstruck by AC/DC pretty quickly, but guess what? It gave me nothing when it came to learning other songs. Only when I started to treat playing seriously and I was practicing with a metronome I noticed, that learning new songs became more natural and I was able to learn faster.
Keep it up bro, best tip i got if you haven't learned it yet put a guitar in a place you frequent a lot and keep them out of their case it helped me to continue practicing regularly for 12 years now. Also we all have done the just because i could guitar lol
Congrats dude! Well done! I have exactly the same guitar as your first one and the intonation drove me crazy... especially on g string. I managed to fix it about a year ago and i love it. I learned how to do pinch harmonics almost every time i want and so far its awesome. Good luck with further progress
If you haven't already, start looking at scales and the relationship between notes. It seems like you can play a lot of stuff, but can you improv and jam? Once you can recognize the key of a song, you can use scales and the relationship of whatever the root note is to just jam along in your own style. Wish I would've known that years ago.
Great progress man! If you wanna keep progressing like crazy I recommend playing more death and some at the gates for a while and learning some black dahlia murder or revocation when you want a challenge
Hell yeah, I’ve played some at the gates, black dahlia murder is still a biiiittt too complex, I’ll have to try out revocation though bc I haven’t heard of them, any recommendations by them? 🤘
You’re doing great man! Wish I had documented my guitar journey now as well 😂 If I have any advice to give, it would be to explore the bass even more. I feel like it made a world of difference in my guitar playing!
I have played for about 25 years. There is one thing you did in this video that is EXTREMELY important that people find out when playingblead guitar licks. During your first year there was something that was holding you back. It was the finger positiining of your fretting had . You were using the fatter part of you fingers more. Then when you started using more of your finger tips you not only got more accurate sound you got more speed and accurrac. Good job on correcting that early. I would say that you did something else that I believe is important in the video. That was waiting a while to buy new gear. Once you have practice on gear that is not that good to improve it really helps your mental state of playing that now you sound better and it is a boost of wanting to improve even more. You are on the right path now bro. I would suggest to start adding a learning a little bit of the tools now. Everyday in practice add just 30 minutes to an hour everyday or every other day into learning all the major-minor pentanoics and learn the modes. Do an excose that makes them kind of fun. O would suggest using them as warm up so you cannlearnnsomething everyday while you warm up.Once you have learned that it will again catapult your play ability. John Mayer has a great video of what he calls the equater. He teaches you how to vowualize mixing major amd minor pentatonic scales together. KEEP JAMMIMG BROTHER!!
@@SixStringShredder No problem man. I enjoy helping new players to dodge some of the for coming pitfalls that many players fall into at certain periods of stages of playing. There are 3 great lessons that are great hear on youtube to help boost your fretboard and musicality. - Marty Friedman has a video on using the fret board in different areas to add a lot of texture to your playing and song writing . -The one with John Mayers teaching about using the equator on the major and minor scales - Mark Tremonti has a great lesson I use for warm ups. Using a 2 not diatonic run across 2 strings. It helps a lot for boosting your pinky playing ability while mastering hammer ons and pull offs. Check em out. I think they will help you a lot at the stage you are in. It will make learning new things much faster while gaining accuracy.
Been playing 2 years myself and i think it was after about 18 months i really started to feel like I could control the instrument and feel good about it. bends were good and vibrato was coming along
Bro I've been playing for a year and a half, and I do complete songs of parkwaydrive, pantera, metallica etc and now I'm learning to do sweep picking correctly which I have little left to master I strongly recommend if you are going to take it seriously that you practice every day a couple of hours, although I imagine that you do it for hobby more than anything else, keep it up!
@@SixStringShredder Forget what I said😂😂, it is possible that not seeing you doing a whole cover or seeing you playing nowadays I think you have not worked hard enough, but in the end you know what you are capable of doing hahaha, I have seen the end, you have a very good hand position, I recommend you to practice neo classical metal to get used to do complex sweep picking, I am sure you will go far.
this is cool to see cuz im still in my first year of learning but i remember trying 117 really early on and absolutely regretting i was able to do a couple slayer songs after learning most nirvana songs now im learning before i forget and not ready to die im struggling but making quick enough progress so imma keep goin love to see videos like this
That’s badass man 🔥 Just picked me up a guitar as well hopefully peak some value into my life even if no one knows. Videos like this make me keep going. Cheers to you bro keep it up! 👏
some advice from someone who played for 15 years or so before trying learn how to hybrid pick do it now. while u still are somewhat learning. i got so much better after learning how to in just a couple years. it really opens up alot.
@@SixStringShredder UPDATE I just finished a song my skill skyrocketed like your and now im writing/recording music...... p.s your shits still dope ash
this brings back memories. the first 3 songs i learned was One, Master of Puppets and Afraid to Shoot strangers. Im fairly sure that this may not be the correct way. However if you start at that end people thought id been playing guitars for years when i pretty much knew nothing and nothing else. Also getting those 3 songs right probably took 2 years rofl.
When I first started, I had a $180 squire Strat and a $60 amp, then I got a Jackson js-22 and started using free digital amps and modelers, and just got a boss katana mkii-50 a couple days ago :)
I’m currently practicing far from heaven by fit for an autopsy. If you want to strengthen your pinky try to play this song 😅 also GET A 7 STRING! I just got a Jackson 7 string for under 200 dollars and it unlocks so much more metal to play
man... I've been at it a decade and I'm pretty good, but my picking technique still has a lot of work compared to how yours looked at the end. Like I can play that, but I have like 10x the amount of movement and it's jarring just watching my videos back. I get so tense and just move way too much, it's been the hardest habit for me to correct but I'll say ever since I became aware of it I've made more progress in the past few months than I have in the last 3yrs combined. Really wish I focused more on technique starting out
Mate, that’s really good progress in two years. Keep it up, you’re doing great 👍🏻 Took me a good five years to get to where I wanted to be with my playing.
In the second half I started using digital amps. Signal chain: Noise gate, a booster pedal (volume 75ish %, gain 30%) then into the free high gain amp (preamp OD- 7, bass-*8, mid-3, treb- 9, master OD- 6, presence- 8) and then into an EQ (drop the mids just a bit, and bring up the bass and treb just a bit) add some reverb if you want 🤘 (All on amplitube 5)
hey im a beginner and am currently checking how elec guitars sound without distortion lol. im guessing u had one so would you kindly share from which part of this vid did you use dist? and plus you make me feel that not showing progress is normal and it gets better in later. :))
Whether I was using distortion or not depends on the song that I was playing, but for the most part I was playing with distortion bc I mostly play heavy metal 😎🤘
I learnt that crystal mountain riff in 2 months and now a month or so on I've almost learnt the whole song just need a guitar with a 22nd fret so I can play a note in the solo lmao.
During my first couple months, I had no Idea how to use one, but I definitely use one now, especially when learning new techniques (I’m starting to learn sweep picking and a metronome helps a ton)
Sick shit dude. Ive been playing for a year now and your so freaking good mean. I love the fight fire with fire riff. What is the best way to record music online for UA-camrs and just for fun?
Get yourself an interface (I use a Donner interface pedal which cost me abt $60) and record into a DAW on a computer , I use cakewalk which is free, export the audio to your phone and use video editing to match up the guitar audio to the video you took of you playing
I'm in the same boat as to how long I've been playing guitar, the two year mark is where big improvements start coming along I've heard if you have discord I can show you some stuff but I also need help finding the right exercises and warm ups to do, thank you.
I swear to god you have had the exact same journey as me lmao. When you started playing the last of us theme I fucking lost it because that was literally the song where i went like "yeah I probably gotta start learning to fingerpick now"
1:02 DUDE WHAT I WAS JUST LISTENING TO MY OWN SUMMER ON SPOTIFY AND I JUST WENT TO UA-cam AND U PLAYED IT, THATS SICK I SHOULD LEARN IT TOO! (but i just finished learning be quiet and drive and the tuning was a pain in the ass) 😭 2:45 OMG HERE IT IS! BE QUIET AND DRIVE I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT can i just say ur music taste is phenomenal.
impressive, how much did you practice per day, im thinking about buying electric guitar for myself but i don't know how should i practice or how much should i practice to get good results. Do you have any advices?
I’d say go for it man, it’s the best decision I ever made, I’d say when you first start out, try for at least 30 minutes to an hour bc it will build up callouses on your finger tips and then you’ll be able to play longer :)
When I first started, it was summer, and I didn’t really have much to do so I was practicing around 5-7 hours a day, and no, at the time I had no idea how to use a metronome properly 😭👌
@@SixStringShredder One further question, from the video it seems you started in an unconventional way with more picking stuff instead of chords. Would you recommend that? Did you start with scales?
@@BASEDHITLORLOVER14n88 I started with more picking based songs because I’m a metalhead and almost all metal songs are picking, however I still need to learn scales, I just haven’t gotten around to it but I’ll start soon since I’m in a band now :)
1st: Sonne- rammstein 2nd: be quiet and drive (far away)- deftones 3rd: Am I evil- Metallica 4th: fade to black: Metallica 5th: the godfather theme- slash 6th: One- Metallica
I'm most impressed you were doing pinch harmonics on that first dream theater one. Took me years to even realise they were a thing then a while to learn them!!

I'm in the same boat as to how long I've been playing guitar, the two year mark is where big improvements start coming along I've heard if you have discord I can show you some stuff but I also need help finding the right exercises and warm ups to do, thank you.
broo i need the name of the songs he's playing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone pleaseeee helpppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear to god you have had the exact same journey as me lmao. When you started playing the last of us theme I fucking lost it because that was literally the song where i went like "yeah I probably gotta start learning to fingerpick now"
Lmfaoooo nice 🤣🤘
Sick man shredding!
Great progress nice pinch harmonics!
Bro II love that we have the exact same clothing style :)))
Hell yeah
He definitely PRACTICED Every Single Day. (A Sign to Practice ur Instrument if you want to be play like that)
1:02 DUDE WHAT I WAS JUST LISTENING TO MY OWN SUMMER ON SPOTIFY AND I JUST WENT TO UA-cam AND U PLAYED IT, THATS SICK I SHOULD LEARN IT TOO! (but i just finished learning be quiet and drive and the tuning was a pain in the ass) 😭
2:45 OMG HERE IT IS! BE QUIET AND DRIVE I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT
can i just say ur music taste is phenomenal.
it's like the 2 most popular deftones songs, everybody knows them 😭
@@BIGLEVAHwhats thw song called 😅
What song 1:02?
impressive, how much did you practice per day, im thinking about buying electric guitar for myself but i don't know how should i practice or how much should i practice to get good results. Do you have any advices?
I’d say go for it man, it’s the best decision I ever made, I’d say when you first start out, try for at least 30 minutes to an hour bc it will build up callouses on your finger tips and then you’ll be able to play longer :)
dude was playing eruption 2 months in crazy
funny how the first thing every guitarist does is tune down and we all have that same distortion tone when we start playing
Fax 🤣 little did I know max gain was not the way to go 😂🥲
yoooo I have the same strap :00 ( this is awesome btw 😭 )
dude..... the Slayer + Death riff is brutal man 😭
nice video, very motivational when i feel like i stucked
What is 3:08 ive heard it somewhere and i dont remember
It’s that one part from buddy holly by weezer that’s been memed on a ton 🤣
You tought yourself the guitar or did you have lessons?
100% self taught, I’ve never had a lesson before
Around how many hours did you practice weekly throughout your first year? And how did you practice, with a metronome?
When I first started, it was summer, and I didn’t really have much to do so I was practicing around 5-7 hours a day, and no, at the time I had no idea how to use a metronome properly 😭👌
@@SixStringShredder thanks brotha im tryna be like you
@@BASEDHITLORLOVER14n88 hell yeah homie 😎
@@SixStringShredder One further question, from the video it seems you started in an unconventional way with more picking stuff instead of chords. Would you recommend that? Did you start with scales?
@@BASEDHITLORLOVER14n88 I started with more picking based songs because I’m a metalhead and almost all metal songs are picking, however I still need to learn scales, I just haven’t gotten around to it but I’ll start soon since I’m in a band now :)
I started learning this week, you make me scared.😅
Insane progress! And awesome music taste :)
