Looking for Help

Ok, i have been playing guitar on and off for about 2 years. i took more interest in writting my own stuff compaired to playing other peoples music. but now im really starting to get back in to guitar. Im looking for some advice and to see if anyone could help me to learn strumming patterns.

or any advice to it.

also, i was wondering if someone could help me to learn the song. kissing in cars - pierce the viel.


i realize there are alot of country and rock teachers on here.

but where are the people to teach the newer stuff. like Punk, technical, or Emo music.


well the reason for my wishing to learn the song is cause its means something deep to me and i can relate to it quite well..

its a really romantic song if you listen to the lyrics.

can anyone help?

thanks.

>but where are the people to teach the newer stuff. like Punk, technical, or Emo music.

Right here but we're limited in the styles that we can choose to describe our lessons on the site.
"Techno/Punk and Emo" aren't available as style choices when we post our lessons, so we have to pick the closest thing available.
For instance, my instructor page lists me as an "acoustic, rock" instructor which doesn't even come close to describing my lessons, which include techno, trance, emo, hard rock, metal, tapping, recording techniques etc.

really. so you could teach me how to tune my guitar to make really amazing sound effects.


like say.. steve vai - for the love of god


but yeah...

i did;nt mean tehcno.

i actually ment technical stuff...

i guess i would concider technical stuff like some of ben harpers stuff, or some of claptons stuff.

Yep, definitely. You'll need to learn things like sweeping, tapping, scales and the proper way to practice them, plus how to get the sound from your equipment including what kind of pedals to use and how these guys get their sound in the studio. Quite a few of the teachers here have beginner to very advanced techniques and there's several thousand lessons to choose from.

My own stuff includes a lot of advanced rock licks and tricks that players use, along with tutorials (and newer ones coming in HiDef) on home recording techniques, micing, using multitrack recorders and VST instruments, midi. Plus, now that we've switched over to HiDef and better quality I'm adding backup tracks to almost every lesson so that you can practice to them. There's also a Jam player with hundreds of pieces of music on it that loops songs endlessly so you can practice different techniques.

You can basically jump in where you feel most comfortable. Some people start with beginner techniques including theory and follow a more regimented lesson plan, while others with more experience are more content to browse around the site looking for playing tips and various techniques and tricks they can use.

nice thank you.

well this is something else i would like to learn.

sometimes i can start to hear something i like when im just playing around and ill work with it to make it more complicated so it sounds better, but i can still play it, but then i have trouble finding what to connect it to next, what could i learn that could help me for that?
