Playing the guitar

[ts1n1ta]

I learned how to play the guitar, piano even the drums on my own (with the help of books and videos, too). Looking back, I wished I had formal lessons. So do not hesitate if you have the resources/time for those lessons, just go for it. Just always practice. Never stop playing. Good luck!

dati nag-aral ako ng guitar nun school time para matutunan ko 'to. My favorite band noon




Another time time after time
You make me feel so helpless I
I never tried to change your mind
I keep it to myself it's

Sometimes I've got to tell you
Is it this time I'll tell you
We've got to go to places
Somewhere I don't mind it's special

And now you find as time goes by
You're left with nothing
Meaning much
The meaning I will have to try
To take your mind to places

I wish that I could help you
But you seem less than helpless
I always tried to tell you
Someday that it'd seem so special

Time after time what's on your mind
You make me feel so helpless I
You never tried what's on your mind
You make me feel so helpless I
I feel so helpless I

You're left alone with something
And I hope for you it's one thing
That something you and yours can
Hold and hold as something special

And now you find as time goes by
You're left with nothing meaning much
The meaning I will have to try
What's on your mind so helpless I
I feel so helpless I

dapat magaling ang execution. lalo na yun bi-nold ko. habang tinutugtog ko dapat basa mata mo habang nakatingin ka sa girl na kinakantahan mo. pero walang luha

i feel so helpless I, i feel so helpless I

Tama sila sir. Depende talaga sa yo. Ako, I tried lessons pero di ako natututo. It was until one time in HS when I met this girl na crush ko na gusto nya matuto mag-guitar so nag self-study kme as a group, together with our other friends that knows and also wants to learn how to play. Dun talaga ako natuto!

kaya naman pala ngayon ayaw mo na mag-gitara...

Ako naman I learned how to play d guitar last year lang self-study din though may tinuro rin naman si RUss like D,A,G. hehe! pero hanggang ngayon Major chords pa rin ang alam ko. Right now I play Bass guitar sa church. :flower:

[knight23]

learned playing through guitar tabs.

I played professionaly for a while during the mid-90's. learned playing by watching others play. tapos nakuha ko sa kulit yung mga magagaling para turuan nila ako. since I took lessons sa piano before, this really helped me in my guitar playing.

chords muna bago notes. then I moved on to scales and various tunings.

also, malaki din ang tinulong ng mga kanta ng Beatles.

yup.. I find playing the Bass guitar easier. it's mostly notes lang naman. pero yun lang talaga, ang kakapal ng strings! so at first double fingers ang gamit ko for every bass line until lumakas-lakas yung pressure ng fingers ko eventually.

you'll be snapping and popping before you know it.

[simplicity]

ayun at me bahista na dito! aba'y akalain mong kumpleto na pala!
tara nang mag jamming. hehehe... katuwaan lang. tugtugan at kainan, palitan ng
kaalaman sa kotse, at kung anu-ano pa. hehehe...

[MACpod]

ayos! may banda na ang tsikot! sana makahabol pako! hehe.

nagstart nako ng lessons.. mejo nakakatugtog na ng konti!

may pagkakumplikado sa una ang pagbasa ng notes. pero ayos lang dahil enjoy!

well depende.... kung base notes lang ng chord pattern at simple running notes based on scales ok lang pero kung ala red hot saka mga jazz bands madugo yun bro!

I met this guy sa perfect pitch, actually sales agent sya dun and nasa peak pa rin ako ng skills ko, grabe, nung nakita ko kung paano gumamit ng bass guitar yun eh nahiya ako sa sarili ko!

sarap mag-aral ng gitara lalo na kung may banda kayo na mahusay! iba yun feeling while you play your fav piece

wala naman akong plano mag ala Red Hot o Level 42. hehehehehe. mga simple music lang. ganun din ba pagbasa ng chords ng bass and rhythm? may formal training ako ng rhythm kasi eh.

jamming tayo. i play the drums too. dito ako medyo bihasa na. underwent formal training too before with Yamaha and the drum player of the Dawn.

[yuichi]

i'm not sure if taking a lesson is really an advantage. my cousins(who are well-off) took piano, guitars etc. but still could'nt play as good kasi by-the-book sila masyado. while me and my brod just started strumming my tito's old guitar and now i can say we are better than our cousins, in fact my brod used to be the lead guitarist of a famous band in angeles city. he never used tablatures read notes, puro "kapa" lang sa kanya kaya sariling diskarte. he can also play a guitar na binaliktad ( taas yung lead strings, baba yung bass), pero simple lead lang.

so depende sa tao yon. may tao na lahit alang formal lessons madaling matuto kasi may "wido" sila.

i could be wrong, but i'm not really sure if guitar masters like satriani, vai, gilbert and clapton ever went to guitar schools (even music icons like beatles u2 and stones).

anyway i also collect guitars, got 2 les pauls ( 70's greco and epiphone snake pitt), 3 acoustics(classical lumanog(first guitar), yamaha taylor-type and a turtle-back ovation) and 2 amps.

hehe naku bro sobrang kalawang na ng daliri ko! once a year na lang ako makahawak ng gitara! parating keyboard at mouse na kasi hawak ko sa trabaho. I used to do 6 string arpeggios (6 string sweep) and clocking my hands around 180-200 notes per minute. yun isa namin kasama eh 220 yata to 230 and tumutugtog pa rin sya ngayon. marami din ako tropa nag-mellow na at nag-mainstream. medyo exposed talaga ako since high school. SA uplb member ako ng jammers then sa ama qc yun SON naman tinayo namin, mga musikero lahat. anyway ang importante eh yun feel nung kanta at hindi yun technicality, that is why i prefer the blues when playing! napaka-soulful ang dating sa gitarista :rockf::rockf:

eto pinapraktis ko ngaun .... you are encouraged to dance in front of your PC



top of the world


Such a feeling coming over me
There is wonder in the things I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

On the top of the world looking down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love put me on the top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
Telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasant sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope I'll find
Tomorrow will be the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

saka eto pa - sing along pls



Charm attack


He's the kind of guy
Who's always passin' by
Who never has time to spend
And he'll take you for a spin
And won't look within
To find out who you are
And he numbs himself with weed
He's from the coldest breed
Who judge by what they see
And I thought he was
Smart enough to know
That the girl on his arm
Will never calm his storms
Watch out, he'll charm you

Chorus:
Smoother than the L.A. weather
That's how he holds himself together
He is colder than the winter
I wrap my coat around to better
Counteract his charm attack
That leaves me hungry
Well, I'm no savior
But I tried to save you
With all my love
that rages high inside.

And he has his minions
With no real opinions
'Cause they all walk on glass
And your lies become the truth
And give me the proof that you really care
With your gorgeous grin
You have the world sucked in
Believin' in everything you say
Watch out, he'll charm you

Chorus(2x)

And he stamps on every emotion
And he dampens each and every explosion
(repeat)

bro sa EB ng mga SFeyers tugtog ka ha?

[miLes]

i think better to take lessons afterwards when you really decide to take guitar playing seriously, had an instructor who can play heavy metal riff -to finger sweep leads -to spanish flamencos, man was he good but he was high 50% of the time

im with badsekktor, i play blues licks mostly nowadays since my fingers arent that fast anymore

my gear at home
washburn n2 (nuno bettencourt model) electric
washburn acoustic guitar
yamaha classical guitar
80watt marshal tube amp with overdrive
wah pedal
korg g1 toneworks effects box
fender 200watt bass amp with chorus

just recently sold my washburn bantam bass and of course...2 lumanog guitars

[Geren]

Same with simplicity

Been playing the guitar for years. By ear lang ang pag-aaral ko. Di naman kasi uso nung panahon ko yung formal lessons.
I tried to self-study ng classical kasi type ko tugtugin mga solo jazz. Mahirap lang isustain ang interest sa formal lessons. If you can practice patience to learn the guitar then it would be better for you in the long run. Mag youtube ka kay Tuck Andres (Man in the mirror) to have an idea.

But if i had to learn the guitar all over again, i'll take formal lessons.

Anyway okey naman ang natutunan ko. I play sa church every sunday with a choir.
Good luck on your playing.

[chain]

agree on the post on Tuck. buti na lang nabanggit siya. searched for some of the vids.

here's Tuck Andress: man oh man.. he's good



I like one of the comments made dun sa vid. "Tuck&Patti make god and music closer."

yup those guys (satriani, vai, gilbert etc) got formal lessons. widowing will only get you as far, when it comes to very complex pieces di na pwede i wido

vai and hammett took lessons from satriani. srv took informal lessons from bb king
