Intro

Hey Mike & All,

My name is Eddie and I live in NJ just outside of Philadelphia. I started messing around with guitar over the pandemic but started taking it seriously for the last year.

I have made strides, I know open, barre, Maj/Dom 7, and working on triads now. From a lead perspective I started with a paid membership and it has done wonders in understanding the fretboard, all the shapes, pentatonic, blues, and hexatonic scales. We’ll be starting modes next week.

I have not learned a single cover though. I get frustrated at not getting certain parts to speed so I just give up. So right now I’m just working on the triads, creating my own riffs/progressions and practicing soloing over those.

I’m hoping to learn adding flare to those progressions with fills and licks. Also understanding how to make single note riffs and full chords work together to make some killer music.

My sweet spot for music is bluesy raw hard rock like Rival Sons, The Cold Stares, Dirty Honey. However definitely will play blues and would like to get into some funk.
