Need to get a Jam session going!

It's been weeks since we've jammed! Other than Me and Jerome occasionally at my place.

Working on some Maiden Riffage

Surprisingly found out after the Maiden concert that I could actually play bits of Fear of the Dark and Blood Brothers. Been having a blast learning to pay these. What's up with you guys? We haven't jammed in a while a need to get back on that!

Quick update

I was at Tom Lee yesterday and I happened upon what looked like one of the most useful books someone like me could get. It was the complete Beatles song book, which includes he chords for the song and a chart at the top of each one showing how to play the chord. I'm gonna be pickin it up in the next few days, it was around 40.

ALSO

I'm free this weekend Sunday/Monday

Jam time plx?

Jam sessions?

Hey Guys,

Just wondering when the next jam session is since we have something posted but no date yet. Maybe this post would get some things kick started!!!

I also pre-ordered a new guitar today:

Epiphone AJ-500R Spruce/Rosewood Masterbuilt Advanced Jumbo. $650


Why the long name? I got no idea but I like the guitar itself! LOL
It comes in about 7-8 weeks. Would have taken the one in store but there was only 1 left and that was the display one (used and scratched). Its an electric acoustic though because I need a good acoustic for myself first then I can think about a real electric.

Back.

So now that I'm back from Vernon I was thinking this weekend we need to jam it up again.

Good Session!!

Good Jam session tonight! lots was learned. Video was even taken!!! I'mma go work on Free-Fallin' now. Err.... maybe after I get back from Vernon.

Blargh

At work right now, wish I could be at home playing. It seems like I get random bursts of crazy enthusiasm for guitar playing sometimes, I LIKE IT!

WHO IS COMING TODAY?

ALSO

I want us to get some videos up here, I'm sick and tired of looking at these noobs on the side, if I'm looking at noobs I want it to at least be us, amirite?

I'll try to post one in the next few days. If you guys come for a jam session today I'll definitely record some playing.

Jam session!

The time has come for us to meet once more TO DO BATTLE!!!......I mean to jam...


How are your guys' schedules for tomorrow? Sorry for the short notice, but work's been crazy, not a whole lot of time for guitar practice :(

Anyways, so far Chris and I are a go, who else is in? If we meet up it will be after 3pm, since I'm working tomorrow as well.

HOHOHO

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Just seeing if my account works! lol

Oh snap!!

Found this really cool site that lists a bunch of youtube tutorials (by the same guy) and ranks them by level, this is the level 1 link, but it goes up to level 3. Good tutorials so far, I'm looking at You're Beautiful by James Blunt, mainly because I need a good romantic song in my repertoire, it super easy, you just need a capo on the eighth fret.

Chugging along

Been at it quite a bit lately lots of fiddling around with random riffs and what not.
Good Riddance is getting there still a bit slow on the chord changes, but I'm keeping at it.
I'm thinking my next song after Good Riddance is gonna either be 21 guns or Wake Me Up When September ends. Unless I can get a Capo for Free Fallin'

Replaced the saddle of my guitar

After visiting the optometrist I stopped by Tom Lee's and bought a new saddle for $1.95 plus the guitar repairman recommended a smaller saddle which means a much lower action on my guitar. Now my guitar is easier to play! Woot!

shit i broke my guitar! i leaned it against the wall and the "saddle" shattered from the bottom of the guitar.

Yo yo yo

Who's free on Monday? I vote we meet uo then to celebrate the queen's b-day with SONG

Progress report

So since I replaced my strings yesterday (was very easy) I've been
practicing time of your life like a madman, got the strumming parts
pretty much down pat, so I started practicing the picking intro, thats
all I'm gonna do for now until I get it, gotta buy myself a .47 mm pick
to help out a little.

How is everyone else coming along?

P.S strings were $5.50 for the pack, picks are $3.99 for about 10 at Tom lee

helpful link!! :)

So I just sat down had for an hour or so. Went through Good Riddance a bunch of times, it's starting to get there. Still need my fingers to move between chords quicker and properly so it doesn't sound like half the strings are muted. Other than that I fiddled around with the Highway to Hell riff and looked up some other tabs. I noticed I don't really know how to read tabs all that well. I mean I get the 6th fret of B string and so on, but its do I cover the strings underneath? am I just using that one string?... Overall though I'm quite happy with the Electric, it works well and is a lot more fun to play than the Acoustic ( it's also much nicer to play and easier on the fingers!)

Work post

Thank god I'm able to access this site from work!

Nice blog! May we all be guitar gods!

So you wanna be a geetar hero?

Yeah! Now if only I had my replacement strings I could practice! :'(

TOMORROW!

The First post in Geetar Hero!

So I had this idea since a few of us have decided to pick up and learn the guitar. I figured a blog/place to post about our progress, post videos, have some tips or help, and maybe let out some frustration. So that is what this blog will be about, 4 (or any others who decide to join in our endeavour) of us on our way to learning to play the guitar and possibly cover a few songs down the road.
