    90% vs 100%

    I've heard Petrucci, Richardson, and Vai all explicitly mention the amount of effort it requires to get to the level of polish they achieve in their live playing, and how much continual effort it takes to maintain a particular fast passage at the correct tempo. I have been working at some fast...

    The Official post-your-practice/progress

    Hey guys, After what TedEH said in the other thread it really got me thinking. I know there are a ton of talented players here and while we all sit around and circle-jerk various avenues of learning and gear, there's never really much in the way of content specifically showcasing practicing and...

    David Mead Basic Guitar Workout book

    I'll mention this book again, but without the shopping link, as possibly that was what triggered it as spam (?) Personally I like to dip into this for exercises. Yes, they are "obvious", yes, they are "simple"... But that doesn't mean they are easy. Worth dropping a fiver on, IMHO.

    N(practice)AD: yes it's a Peavey

    Well after keeping a close eye on the local classifieds I finally tracked down an older PV bandit at what I felt like was a good price (sub $150). Not much to be said about this amp. It does what it's known for: old school death & black metal tones, with PLENTY of gain to spare. Not sure why...

    Getting back into virtual amps - Is my interface still good enough?

    I've been away from playing and recording guitar for a number of years for a number of reasons, but I'm starting to feel the spark to play again. My setup consists of an ESP EC-400 with active EMGs > Seymour Duncan Lava Box > Line 6 UX2 > Line 6 Pod Farm or a LePou plugin loaded in Reaper. I...

    Headphones for practice

    I would like to buy a new set of headphones that are fully closed (I don't want noise leaking out) and have excellent audio quality, my budget is 200 - 300 AUD. Any ideas on a solid pair of headphones?

    Where to start? (practice routine etc.)

    Hi, :wavey: I've been playing guitar for a little over a year now and got my first 7-string about a week ago. The problem is I don't really know where to start or what to practice. I've got the same problem with my 6-string guitar, I'd like to practice but just don't really know what to...

    Cover Songs - backing track/original audio

    Hi guys/girls, I'm wondering if anyone has an answer to my question. Basically, I learn a lot of songs, know a lot of dream theater songs, iron maiden etc.. The thing is I don't really like play to the original audio because I don't want the original guitar bleeding through while I am playing...

    Best way to have a successful practice...?

    Hey everyone, here is quick but very general and broad question: What is the best way to practice guitar and to see actual progression (e.g.: speed improvement, technique improvement, etc.) ? I often tend to sit down, warm up a little, play scales up and down and then fiddle around by...

    Software to assist with practicing

    Currently I am using guitar pro 5, transcribe!, and riff station for practice. I like the isolation function on riff station but riff station doesn't let you place markings down on the timeline so that's annoying. I of course have a metronome as well. Anyone know of any other software that...

    Getting sick of my previous writing.

    I've been going through a bit of a genre shift in my writing lately. I'm trying to write the first E.P. for my band, and I have about 3 songs done. Previously I'd been doing mostly deathcore with some djenty-ness to it, but recently I've been getting out of writing that and enjoying a lot more...

    Feedback wanted on practice regimen and goals

    Hey guys, First off: love the sevenstring.org community. As a reader-only it has already helped me so much, from music theory to technique, from new bands and music to gear knowlegde. Thanks a million! Somehow I now think it is time for me to actively engage with you guys and start a thread...

    Practicing fast solos

    Currently practicing stream of consciousness by dream theater, I've mastered everything in the song except for the solo. Now the solo is not too technical for me, but what I am having trouble with (and I have encountered this problem with other songs) is how to exactly play it. I would like to...
