arham_ As of now, I own an acoustic and am saving for a telecaster (which are crazy expensive). I know how to play about 8 different songs and know all the basic chords. I’m going to start on scales soon and how to play fingerstyle. It’s going ok, I’m happy with my progress and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon, thank you so much for asking.
@@Trashheapcuntspawn What are you using to learn? Im kind of lost and Im just doing some basic exercises I found on youtube and learning Yuukei no Kioku by LTS alongside that. Im having fun but the progress is very hard to gauge...
@@ShacoPL What I did was attempt to learn rhythm, strumming and holding chords through the simplest acoustic songs I knew in order to get a very basic feel. I learnt Pennyroyal Tea by Nirvana and Breathe by Pink Floyd first and it helped me gauge how long it would take me to be able to play more complex songs down the line. I made sure I knew how to play those songs without having to choke or look at the fretboard, and once I did, I moved onto just learning chords seperate from any existing song. I wrote down each chord I could recall from my own memory into a little notebook I kept specifically for guitar progression. Finally when I felt I had the ability to call upon any chord in my head, I asked my sister to test me, she'd yell out a chord, and the rhythm to play it in, and I'd do my best to play it. Once I'd done that a couple times, I moved onto learning the scales so I could learn to play fingerstyle and get better at picking and possibly even learn how to solo. I think the best thing you could do to gauge progress is to find a song or a specifc exercise that covers ever aspect of playing the guitar and revisiting it every couple of weeks to see how if you've improved, if you are able to play it consistently, faster or with more confidence, the most important thing is to reinforce memory with structured and timed practice, could be an hour a day or else, just make sure it is consistent practice on a balanced schedule that fits the free time in your life. It would also do you some good to get in contact with other musicians or other people at the same level as you. Go on reddit or some other forum to meet like-minded people and see what exercises or processes they're doing to learn and borrow some techniques. Learning guitar, I've seen, takes insane amounts of patience and taking it slow, you have to solidfy the very basics before you can make real progress, you have to get to comfortable with the instrument, intimately. I would NOT recommend attempting to learn a Ling Tosite Sigure song in the beginning stages of your playing because Toru Kitajima plays like a demon and has spent years perfecting a unique style of post-hardcore math rock that is insanely mind-bending, AND HE CAN DO IT WHILST SINGING AND NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THE FUCKING GUITAR! Absolute madman. But yeah, start slow, learn easy, simple songs and get basic chords down, rhythm on lock, comfortable strumming, palm-muting and the scales before you can incorporate all that goodness into an LTS song. Happy trails partner!
trust me on this one: you want the ABNORMALIZE tone, just get a high output single coil pickup and a tube amp. any vox AC series or a fender twin reverb. a tele is thought to be the standard for TK tone but really it's just overwound single coil tone. i can nail it with my stratocaster with high output lace sensors (purple/red) and a vox ac4hw1.
@@tintecobrizo thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I can’t afford a tube amp right now. I have quite a bit of amps. So I can figure it out with those. Thanks again 😊.
Thank you! The equipment used in the video. Guitar: fender select stratocaster SSH Amplifier: YAMAHA THR10C effects: VEMURAM/Jan Ray, mi audio/crunch box, strymon/ola chorus, strymon/DIG delay. But now I use only vemuram and strymon
