      HEY WAIT PLEASE i want to get your atention please give this even a small chance as a grain of sand alright just please it will only take you i dont know lets say 5 minutes and trust me it might be the most important message you will hear ALL day❤️❤️
      Repent to God before its too late i know this message keeps on apearing every now and then but it doesn't get atention or at least enough atention people wake up and stop living in sin and in worldly toughts and doings its not only afecting your relationship with Jesus our Savior but its afecting you please listen to me give it a try im a very direct person and the truth is many of our friends loved ones known ones and even strangers!! WILL GO TO HELL!! It hurts me just to write this fact and that they will go there now to cut to the chase if you want to live for THE truth and THE Lord you need to repent. Repent? Right now wherever you are get on your knees if you can and shut your hands closed together and start praying this either with your mouth or in your head:
      Father God i know that for ME and my family and my enemies and my neighbours you have sent your one and only beloved Son Jesus Christ to live a perfect and sinles life and to die on the cross for all of our sins and to be raised by You on the 3rd day. Father God i admit with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and i will let him in my heart and i admit that i have sinned and i have done wrong by you. We don't deserve You Lord but You died for us so that trough You we may get to heaven. Father Jesus we pray that you help us with our daily strugles and most importantly help us not to sin and be free of our sins and live a new life in Your name. In Jesus name amen.❤️
      Now i think that should be a great enough prayer and if you need any tips any help first go to God and Jesus and ask them for directions then either come here and ask me to help you or go on youtube and search david lynn i think is his name hes a very wise and powerful sharer of the gospel even better if you have tik tok go search davidpurther he in my opinion is a very strong person in God and to be completely honest he was the one that saved me him and some more if you want more accounts like brother David ask me and if i will see your request ill try my best to answer
      As always may God bless you and give you a blessed new year AMEN AMEN :) ❤️✝️
      Jesus 🔛🔝Seek God. Its not about religion its no about rituals its not about hipocrisy or about a cheap philosophy of life. Its about communion with God Himself, Creator of all existing things, from the smallest atom to the biggest star. Everything has the Hand of God. I know that few will read this message and even fewer will be impacted by it but if you've read this far i heartly advise you to seek the Lord, who died for you took the guilt of your sins, and is willing to forgive you and accept you regardless of who you are, or what you have done. It's your decision. You have the free will to do whatever you want! 😊❤

    Trem picking honestly was the first one I got good at, imo not that hard but I have fragile girl hands so I guess it’s just less weight to wiggle around. The hardest to master was pinch harmonics but I learned them in the first year of playing because I tried so hard and I love them. Sliding is something I carried over from bass. Bending also a bit from bass but took a while to get in tune bends. Hardest technique though, actually learning chords and scales, god I hate that I do that because it holds me back from making music for myself. I‘ll try to get there eventually though.

    • @watersnortmoment3734

      Personally, pinch harmonics was one of the easier techniques. Sliding up the neck was a much longer learning process for me. I think it’s really just what you want to play dictating your learning.

    I practiced guitar for a year rn, still struggling with bending, I can bend but sometimes open string noises and shits like that. Trem picking is easy for me, that's the first technique I got good at, because I learn Surf Rock and trem pick is very crucial in that genre. Sliding is as you know, pretty easy, I can slide flawlessly. I can't tap and pitch harmonic.
