The OCUK Guitar Warriors Competition

I might have a bash if I can work out how to record stuff without too much bother, although I'm terrible it'll give everyone a laugh :)

More of a rhythm player though than a fancy leady type.

I don't play classical anymore really but i'm glad I went through the motions and put the effort in to learn it. If you can play classical guitar to a good standard then you will have covered just about every aspect of the instrument and nothing should be out of your reach. I thoroughly recommend learning classical guitar to anyone serious about the instrument, whatever style they really want to play.

True, I started learning Classical mainly to work on my left-hand technique as my teacher suggested. With classical you're forced to position your left hand correctly to actually fret the notes, when you go from a classical guitar to an electric the electric seems incredibly in terms of fretting notes :p
 
Where are these warriors, have they left the country?
Come and show us what you've got.

No problem :)

I've learnt upto the sweep picking bit, sounds ok, but I need more practice, I've found it to be one of the most enjoyable things to learn though so it's all good :)

Thanks! Thats wicked.

Can play the first 40 bars or so at the moment, but its no where close to being clean or sounding good yet. I think the faster parts may exceed my ability, but its worth a try :D

I think I could give him a run for his money - but not on that song.

I can play most of it up to about 2.10 mins.

Havent really had time to do more yet, but the hardest bit (bit i couldnt do) I found was the mini 'shred' halfway through that. Cant do it for the life of me. :(

Most Boring Song Ever

And pretty damn easy to play really. Minus the sweep picking (which always looks much more impressive than it is) its all slow, repatativy and rubbish.

On a slightly different note, one thing that may be a good giggle - over a few beers and smokes or whatever - would be a jam! :D No pressure, just some drinks and a laugh, and some music... whatever talent you have (or talentless in my case).

Mine was hardly a guitar warrior post, i was just commenting on the progress i made, since the part i learnt is actualy the easiest part. Also not really interested in joining a band with someone who lives so far away :p I'd have a shot at recording it though if anyone thinking i've lied. I thought the GW posts were more the ones saying "thats rubbish", "i could play better" etc :o

Calm down Mr, its the last week of the winter term at Uni dont you know and i have 2 essays and 1 project due in!

I will be done soon though :p
 
I've had a guitar now for 4 years.....

Probably been playing for a total of about 7 months in that time though.....

I really should learn how to play the bloody thing, but I sort of expect to be able to play it when I pick it up and get dissapointed and put it back down when I realise I can't!!!!

Very impressive ArmyofHarmony.

PaulN is not a member but always looks on in these forums every day.
PaulN used to by my duo partner and he asked if he could submit a couple of solos.
The solos are Still Got The Blues and Freebird and I play all the other instruments on the tracks.
What makes this so sad is that PaulN can no longer play guitar because of an injury to his neck.
