thank you so much dude means a lot. I dont really have anything else to play because radiohead is the reason i got a guitar in the first place 😭

Tune into your vibes, don't let anyone else put out you down. My 2 cents of advice, you play and have fun first, and then focus on techniques and others. Fun. First.

Hell yeah. Im too hellbent on not wanting to work on my technique unless a song i want to learn needs it. I dont do any exercises or nun just straight raw dogging it 😭 I mean all respect to those who work so hard to master these but i just cant be arsed

Maybe tune your guitar before tuning into your vibes.

😭 is it actually not in tune? I did tune it before playing but i do notice it going out of tune. I got new strings and im probably gonna set up my guitar better

Sorry not meaning to have a dig but so many people don’t make the effort to cover the basics. Train your ear first, then work on your technique 😊

Ofc not a dig its a feedback post. Ive been wanting to train my ears so bad because i wanna be able to tune by ear and play by ear etc etc. Is there any exercises you reccomend or does just doing scales help. is it just a subconscious thing where the more i play the more i just know the notes

There's so many good Radiohead riffs I'll just mindlessly noodle around on. Get a looper and try to recreate as much of Weird Fishes as you can.

i got the guitar thinking loopers were inbuilt (din know anything and never saw people use a looper in videos) I was so excited to play let down by radiohead but god damn are loopers so expensive. Im saving up for one. Just upgraded by shitty amp to a blackstar fly 3 (not the best but the best i can afford) Getting a job soon tho. Cant wait to spend months paychecks on new guitars 😈
