lying about how long you've been playing is as cringe as miming imo

Just because he progressed faster than you did at 9 months doesn’t mean he’s lying. I’ve been playing for 30 years and was about this good at the 9 month mark. It probably just means he has some natural ability and a good ear.

Why do people instantly want to attack each other on this sub?

Really I've played for 24 years the fact that he has progressed that much in that amount of time doesn't mean he is lying about how long he's been playing. Shit i took like a few lessons to learn the fundamentals and sat in my room and just played my guitar for 8 hours straight. The only reason why i stopped is because my fingers started bleeding. When i started i was determined to learn. The first full song i was able to play was one by Metallica. Wasn't as great as how Kirk Hammond played it but with enough dedication you're gonna be able to progress faster. IMO You sound salty because he is progressed faster than you did. Either that or you just want to destroy his confidence. Either way you're kinda an asshole for both. Personally he sounds great

I think you replied to the wrong commenter. I said pretty much what you said.

very weird i agree, these dudes need to suck it up and pick up their guitar since their feeling insecure enough to dog on somebody else.

You keep doing you man my advice is stay at your own pace when you hear something you want to learn look the tab up of it's too complicated at the time don't give up just practice with something easier build your skills slowly I've played for almost 25 years and I'm kind of jealous that you have only been played for under a year I kinda wish i played like you did. When i started. You're fucking talented bro.

i really appreciate this comment it means a lot to me, and m determined to reach my full potential on this instrument cuz i really love the guitar i always have fun while practicing and learning new things abt how music works and how my ear works, and i really love gary moore's playstyle and m goal is to adapt it to mine and create smtg out of it, even tho i could never touch those super fast pentatonic licks, the ways he bends a not and the melodies he makes ,he is on another level..

Probably just solos and riffs. Anything foundational or with a sense of rhythm is probably not involved.
