Yeah so I guess I'll show you guys some videos of me playing guitar and harmonica. I've Just Seen a Face (Harmonica AND Guitar. With a Litte Help from my Friends (Harmonica). Killer Queen Solo. This last one I did about a month ago right after learning the solo and my guitars out of tune because I lost my tuner. So if your ear's bleed I'm sorry. I may post one that dosnt suck as much later. |

Not bad. Playing two instruments at a time is a skill that takes major focus and ability; you can't expect to be good at them both together if you haven't more or less mastered them individually. That said, it's important to push yourself. Try to slow down and alternate focus between both your instruments. Each individual only has a one track mind; someone who has mastered playing multiple instruments has not mastered multitasking, but alternation and harmonization of tasks. You've got some ability with the harmonica. Keep it up. Soloing isn't as difficult as people believe it is. Just the fact that you were willing to try shows that you have what it takes to perfect your craft. Your solo isn't perfect, however, that's to be expected. Some people take ten or twenty years to get it all together. If you really worked, it's possible to get fluid if five or even less. Music theory is the key to becoming a skilled lead guitarist. Basic chord progressions are a good thing to start out with, but after that it is key that you learn all the note placements of the fingerboard. It's not as hard as you think: there are only twelve notes and they repeat in a predictable pattern across the finger board. Scales are the next thing. If you know the scales, you can make up a guitar solo in the middle of a gig without making a single error. Also, your electric guitar will never (no matter how good it is, or how many thousands you spent on it) sound like you (and everyone else) thinks it should unless you spend a few hundred (or a few thousand) on a tube amp... A cheap way to get a halfway decent sound would be to get some effect pedals, but that'll still set you back about a couple hundred dollars. Anyway, if you take the time and are willing, you'll be rocking. Just practice hard, and keep your fingers loose. |
