I've been told by my work that i won't be getting paid again for another 5 weeks (usually paid weekly) So even a wee budget electric guitar is out the windae. I've been learning slayer songs on acoustic recently but not had much spare time. Just been told to stay away from work after getting symptoms so looks like I'll finally be polishing war Ensemble and angel of death.

It sounds counterintuitive but when I was first learning I was trying to hard with barre chords then I learnt to relax and stop squeezing the shit out the neck. Also depending what your playing you don’t have to hold it tight against the fretboard if you are playing funky or choppy rhythms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deodato Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 This thread inspired me to do just that, and the song I'm determined to learn is Hysteria by Def Leppard and Mutt Lange. There's essentially just three parts I need to master and I'm past half way. For a song that sounds so simple, the more you get into the progressions the more you appreciate the technical ability of the band and the genius of Mutt Lange. At one point, there's nine (9) layers of guitar working its way through the ballad. Phil Collen breaks it down with just one here. Any guitarists on JKB that can share easy to understand guitar tab with me, would be appreciated. What a tune, thanks for this thread.

I bought a Def Leppard tab book but its way too complicated for me, I need basics. Any links you got to simple to follow guitar tab appreciated. I've got the basics down for the three components, but the ending of each (example - the chords just before the chorus) is where I'm stuck. Hit me on PM if better.

Auldbenches Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I want to start recording guitar onto my laptop. I've looked at audio interfaces but can only find ones in my price range with mic sockets on them. I can't find one that takes I can put a guitar lead directly into. Is there a lead that I can buy that goes from the guitar to a mic socket? I've looked a couple of tutorials but can't see how they what they connect the guitar with.

They do indeed have the combination inputs that look like mic inputs but actually have the Jack input hidden in the centre. That’s quite a hefty budget you’ve set. For less than half that you can get interfaces from good companies like Presonus or M Audio. I’m not a fan of M Audio but they personal bias.
