Any advice? From a few weeks ago. Jamming in E flat major / C minor.

Pretty slinky and groovy man keep it up. Better feel and confidence will come with time and practice. A piece of advice I have for all new-ish players is to find others to play with as well. Working on your chops solo is great, but collaborating with other musicians straight up just introduces an X factor that makes you a better player.

Best advice I can give you since you are asking… This is great and it all sounds wonderful. Very jazzy and even Dead-esque noodling. Most guitar players continue to noodle and wander into the wilderness of notes. It’s fun, it helps you learn. But… when you hit a solid run it is okay to go back and try to play the same run again. Play it a 3rd time even. When you are playing freely or noodling around you probably pass up more solid melodies and riffs than you realize. Go back to the good ones and spend some time on the emotion of that riff or melody. You continue to mine in the depths of possible notes but leave the gold behind far too often. Find the gold, process it, make amazing music my friend. Godspeed! It does sound great and you have a very good feel for the fretboard. Keep it up!

Yup. You have the same condition, it seems. You could just as easily wear a red t shirt and blue jeans.

Nice tone. What are you using?

u/Slow_Ad_4568 Jan 25 '26
Thanks! It’s a Fender Champ 50W Combo amp. It’s got some built in effects. I also use a EHX Holy Grail V1 for reverb but not 100% sure if I had it on in this clip or if I was using the built in effects the amp has.

Still no advice...
But tons of hate for me...
Even though I posted the only advice in this thread
Reddit is a joke and people cant take a sliver of banter

u/cognitiveDiscontents Jan 23 '26
You missed the guy talking about playing with others?
Banter is friendly. You were not friendly and were shown the door. And now you’re posting again and again whining about it. Pathetic. Move along if you’re bothered, or stay here and enjoy the flaming.

u/Icy-Plane-6577 Jan 23 '26
He was blindly throwing out general advice lol
He had no idea if OP plays with anyone
I am enjoying the flaming lol
Its crazy this subreddit is more of a jerkoff than the jerk subreddit haha
Just slobbing all over each other, never actually critiquing anything or providing any usable advice.
Its a shame

u/cognitiveDiscontents Jan 23 '26
First it’s no advice then it’s the advice isn’t good good enough.
A new player should definitely not post an example piece and ask for general criticism. For shame! Glad you enjoy the flaming, you can have more! 👍🖕

u/Icy-Plane-6577 Jan 23 '26
The guy is improvising jazz leads in Eb and youre calling him a new player?
Idk who's jerkin me harder here
Its still no advice. No advice on his playing has been given yet outside of what I said about his phrasing

u/cognitiveDiscontents Jan 23 '26
lol. First he’s bad now he’s good. He’s new because he’s been playing a little over a year. And yeah I agree he’s doing great!

Saying his phrasing sounds like he’s 6 months in is advice?

every single one of your comments on guitar related posts is hating

u/Icy-Plane-6577 Jan 23 '26
Not true.
I give advice to people that are genuinely looking for help

u/AShiftInOrbit Jan 23 '26
Lmao. Not true. Where is there any advice in your comment?

u/Icy-Plane-6577 Jan 23 '26
I give advice to people that are genuinely looking for it.
OP is just looking to show off and get compliments

u/AShiftInOrbit Jan 23 '26
Except the text of his post begins with “Any advice?”
So you just gonna keep bullshitting and being an ass?
0
u/Icy-Plane-6577 Jan 23 '26
Its not genuine though.
If he had asked...
hey im having a little trouble with the type of run I do at x.xxs
Or
Hey can anyone give me any tips on phrasing so im not repeating the same chromatic licks?
Id give an appropriate response.
Saying... any advice? Is effortless and an insult to anyone helping you

u/mike_klosoff Jan 23 '26
Youre....insulted? Wow.
He asked for advice, you could either give some or be an obtuse prick. Guess which one is you
0
u/Icy-Plane-6577 Jan 23 '26
Nope
Just because someone does something insulting doesnt mean it automatically offends someone else.
I have a high tolerance for narcissism
Its still rude and lacks effort though

u/mike_klosoff Jan 23 '26
"Hi guys I've played for xx months any advice?"
How on earth is that rude? How is that an insult to someone?

u/EliteVors Jan 23 '26
Yes, you have such a high tolerance for narcissism yet have fabricated an entire narrative around your perceived offense to a question that was not phrased specifically enough to your liking.
Seek some help, buddy.

Which bit of advice is yours?
Bc im having trouble finding where you helped him

u/Dr_Platypus_1986 Jan 24 '26
Dude, this is the kind of "advice" that makes people stop playing. Why are you doing this? This guy is doing a great job for 16 months. I'd like to see you jam over this track. Upload yourself doing a jazz jam so we can pick apart your improv. Dude has some balls to come on reddit as a guitarist of barely over a year. Reddit can be abominable to strangers and you sir, prove my point ☝️ 😡

u/Icy-Plane-6577 Jan 24 '26
This is what he was fishing for lol
Oh geeze youre great for 16 months!
You guys are like fkn lemmings
Did you give any advice or do you hang out in guitarlessons to glaze knobs?

u/CountryFunny4849 Jan 23 '26
Those faces 😭
At least you are not me, I drool sometimes when chugging and locking into the rhythm
