revolead Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Everything I can. I really need to narrow-down a routine to practice more efficiently. Usually these days I just find myself going off on some wankfest of songs or passages I already know. I'm trying to work on my picking technique and speed mainly. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those guys who needs to play fast constantly, but it would be nice to play faster than I do now. Shut up and play.

skipclone 1 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Besides my originals, comping. Just improving my comping. Scales and soloing for fun.

pauldil Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I'm just about to start my daily routine. I read for about 30 minutes (my new year's resolution) and then for about another 30, I roughly work on one tune per week, learning the melody, the chords, working out a simple chord melody if possible, and learning how to navigate over changes. I'm also transcribing Wes Montgomery's "Tear it down". Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James-Italy Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I'm working on buying more gear Just kidding. These days I'm working on a few new originals. When there isn't much inspiration I practise on whatever. One of the nice things about being a beginner is you have so many things to keep you busy it's never boring, and it's cool to hear the improvements.

kitaristi0 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I'm working on Immigration Song by Led Zep of How The West Was Won. And this hybrid picking country exercise thang.

reachjkh Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Originally posted by jbote: I'm a complete newbie...I've only been playing since Christmas, when my wonderful wife gave me a Silvertone Gibson knock off to start up on. So, I'm working on what beginners always work on - A, C, E, D, Dm, Em, Am, G...but I am very addicted. After warm ups and chord progressions I am getting pretty adept at playing the Kinks' "Victoria" and Dylan's "If Not For You". It's just too much fun.Welcome to your new adiction. Congrats on the guitar... you have a good wife.

batterypowered Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I'm working on my slide playing, and my open-tunings. I suck at both I can play a 1-4-5-4 bit on slide and sound ok, but i want to be like a Junior Brown virtuoso. And I've managed some ok sounding things in Open G twoblock.net batterypowered.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwreck12 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I'm working on TONE...and I don't mean that in the snobby "I'm a tone guru" sort of way...but as a player here in nashville I don't have the luxury of using one amp,one guitar and no effects...You have to learn how to cop EVERYTHING...recently I set all my pedal board to pretty middle of the road settings and started relying more on my amps and guitars for tone...To me it's important at a gig to be able to switch from a les paul to a tele and not shatter glasses in the room. I've been working on quickly changing settings and dialing up good tones as quick as possible. That and my SHREDDING!!!...not really........
