I love the singer/songwriter style and taking voice lessons as well, but I also have a love for electric guitar. I want to learn both, while primarily focused on acoustic to accompany my voice. Should I hang up the electric for a while until I have dialed in the acoustic or can I practice with both?

I would appreciate any input I can get on this. I feel I’m at the point where I have a good grasp on my scales and chord progressions. I’ve tried playing with a backing track but can’t get past just sounding like I’m playing up and down a scale. Any tips on how to sound more musical?

Are you able to play songs that were originally played on an electric guitar on an acoustic guitar. It seems like playing them would be the same except the sound would be different

Does any one have any suggestions for practice routines for chords, simple to hard, all keys and inversions, that is a longer video or series? I am looking for something that has drop chords, triads, spread voicing, goes through multiple keys, etc.

I recently got my hands on a Squier Stratosonic, my first (electric) guitar, and there seems to be some resonance on one of the tuners if I play it. I read a few reviews making mention of this, so it seems to be something fairly common. Is there anything I can do myself to fix this or should I hand this over to a luthier?

I've been playing guitar for a year and a half, and I am pretty good at it. However, I don't wanna stop there. There is a list of things I wanna learn, and I put it below.

​

• Learning songs by ear. Not only trying to learn chords that I can put onto the fretboard, but learning how to imitate the sound of a persons voice in the form of solos. Essentially just what TheDooo does.
• How to improvise over a backing track, when I try it just sounds like trash...
• Learn some blues licks, such as John Mayer's improvising skills

How do I learn all this whil\st still having fun doing it? Whenever I try doing scales and stuff like that I just get burnt out by how boring it is.. probably why I am not progressing further.

Beginner here; I just started practicing with an old Schaller guitar. From what I understood classic ones use nylon string and acoustic ones use steel strings. Might be a stupid question but how do I know which is which? Also what music do you usually play on both guitars? General tips are also appreciated.

I’m trying to get a really nice tone but I don’t know what settings I should put it too can anyone help.

I have a guitar exam tomorrow. It’s worth 30% of my music GCSE for those of you who are in the UK. I have both pieces fine tuned and I’d like to think they are almost flawless, but I still struggle with barre chords no matter how much I try.

One of my pieces is on acoustic and the other electric - obviously electric is easier, and I find that I can hit the chord seldom on electric, but nevertheless I struggle with the barre chords on both pieces. I am afraid of this bringing my marks down. It is vital that I succeed in this exam because I am looking to do music in college in September.

The two pieces are Karma Police by Radiohead and Don’t Look Back in Anger by Oasis - is there any way that I can finally nail the barre chords? I can form them and I can switch relatively easily, but I hate that I miss the chord and it buzzes or sounds muffled.

Hello I'm a young musician. I have never actually bought an instrument from a local store before (only pics and capos and such things). And I am buying an electric guitar soon and need advice on how NOT to be rude/make a fool out of myself. Like I know not to try out guitars above my price range or not to take stuff out the packaging. But is it okay to try out a guitar and not buy anything. Cuz I feel like I'm gonna die and embarrasse myself their (I once already did when it was my first time buying strings for a guitar)

I want to start learning guitar and Im looking for a really basic budget acoustic guitar that i can learn to play on. Any reccomendations?

When you’re grappling with the fretting for a given section of music you’re learning, do you set aside the metronome and work on the fingering by itself? Or do you keep the metronome on regardless?

and is free like songsterr

So, I've been playing guitar for about a year, and I skipped learning pretty much everything theory-based. I've basically only learned to play specific songs, but I have no way to know what I'm doing in terms of where to start learning when it comes to improvising, or even just knowing what chord is what and how to get it to actually stick.

I struggled when it came to finding lessons that were enjoyable or compounded onto what I actually knew already, and it just led to each lesson or thing becoming background noise because a lot of it made little sense with what I knew. So, I wanted advice on where to start, and how to play more freely instead of just knowing how to play specific songs.

Beginners friendly songs to learn on acoustic guitar

Title.

As you go lower on the fretboard it becomes (essentially) impossible to fret individual notes on the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd—it’s easier to just bar them.

But fretting the 5th string individually WHILE barring the other three is also super uncomfortable (it’s easier to just bar both).

So what gives?

As the title says lol.... so about a week ago I got a guitar and I'm really excited about learning it. I'm at level 0 and want to learn this beautiful instrument on my own Any help is appreciated! Any YouTube channel, any free apps,tips,must do's and dont's please shoot. Thankyou! :))

How do i play these types of notes?

Looking for songs which have the same 4 chords on repeat throughout the entire song eg Talkin Bout a Revolution (G, C, Em, D) / Waterfalls (D, A, C, G)

I just realized that the tabs in the Ultimate Guitar app (Pro version for iOS) can be viewed as Standard Notation. This is a game changer for me. Sharing in case anyone else prefers standard notation over tabs. There is also an option to show both.

This is on the tabs of "Choke on this-Senses Fail". In the song it sounds like a slide from a higher pitch to a lower but when I try to play it my strings don't ring out long enough 😢
