For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica

War Pigs by Black Sabbath

No Quarter by Led Zepplin

Rooster by Alice In Chains

We’re Only Gonna Die for our Arrogance by Bad Religion (I like Sublime’s cover best tho)

As someone who loved the last song of the epic album The Downward Spiral for twenty years before Cash covered it, I can confidently say that no it is not automatically better

I’d also suggest Joni Mitchell’s Blue

It was very difficult before electric guitars came along.

You had to mic an acoustic guitar and then compete with a naturally loud orchestra

The Death of Peace of Mind - Bad Omens

Zeit - Rammstein

Who's Brian Did?

Related take, One Hot Minute is the best Chili Peppers album and everything since has been pretty lame, Frusciante is given way too credit

My drum teacher taught me a technique that applies to all instruments:

Use a metronome. Start off slow (~60-80 BPM). Play the song or the excersise. If you make more than two mistakes, lower the tempo by ten until you get it perfect. Then raise it in increments of ten, practicing until it's perfect.

Also, avoid effects when practicing, especially distortion/compression, as they can mask mistakes.

New strings fingers wrecked? 🤔

No, she called him a ho.

I’m a lefty that bought a right handed guitar. I’ve been playing for decades and now if I pick up a left handed guitar. I can’t even play the simplest thing.

Guitar is easy but it takes time for your hands to get used to it. Guitar is also the hardest thing I have ever learned and I will never be as good as I’d like…been planning since I was 13 and still suck.

I didn’t know I had an alt account

Be patient and practice.

Weyes Blood - And In The Darkness, Hearts Aglow

Edit:

2. Madrugada - Chimes At Midnight

3. King Gizzard - Omnium Gatherum

4. Pinegrove - 11:11

5. King Gizzard - Changes

It’s most likely your wrist position that’s not giving your fingers a good angle to hit individual strings without muting any others. You just have to experiment a little and get used to some discomfort

Only works reliably in 50 Hz regions. Americans may have to substitute yr skinny fists.

When I started to play my fingers hurt really bad and I wasn't able to keep them pointing straight down as you're supposed to. I smashed my fingers when I was younger so it was worse for me than most ppl. I used those rubber finger guards they use for sewing until I got used to it and it helped. I also have switched to a cheap guitar with nylons strings. I wish I had started that way, so much easier to play, I mean a lot easier! Good luck, just take it slow with some basic chords, don't try and learn it all at once.

Wow OP I haven’t heard of a single artist you listed. I can’t even make an educated guess as to what style of music it is. Death metal? Techno? Folk? Don’t answer. I’ll Apple Music a few of them right now.

Edit: really digging the track Harridan

That is something a couple years away buddy. Learn the basics, then the rest will come later.

So, I advised getting a few lessons; you also need to get that guitar set-up. Almost every new guitar can use a set-up, the extremely cheap ones can be nearly unplayable. All guitars suffer from imperfect, but generally manageable intonation, but at this end of the price range it's likely that you won't be able to compromise tuning suitably to accommodate more than one or two chords.

Try a left handed guitar? I’m also a cross hand dominant person out there in the world so sometimes you need to experiment with both hands to see what clicks for your brain

Yeah I have his app I’ve only used it once but I’ll need to start using it more! Yeah I have both my keyboard and guitar right beside my bed so I can just pick them up
