You play, fam?
No, I just appreciate all forms of musical expression.
I did try to pick it up when I was exiled/working the UP (upper peninsula) but that didn't work so I took up snowboarding.

I've been trying to put Bad Moon Rising together for months now. I almost got it.
You might be able to play it if I gave you the correct chords
my bad.DAG
You know the key is the strumming on that tune, and the chord changes are pretty quick.
I don't lift my index finger when switching from D to A..use it as an anchor and just slide it up a fret to make the A shape faster.
I try to find an anchor anytime I'm switching between chords, if it's possible.
I kinda neglected strumming patterns, when I first started...I think I played everything with down strokes
..and then had to unlearn that habit. I also found to get fast, you have to play upstrokes, and certain songs require it.
Everything you said is EXACTLY what I'm currently doing. Slowly but surely, I'm getting better though. I'm getting to the point where I don't have to look at the chords D, A and G to switch though.. that's good.. and I can use pinky G. Which is vital.You might be able to play it if I gave you the correct chords

Yep..part of my practicing is to force myself to use my pinky...my son told me he struggles with using his, and he's been playing for years.
Justin guitar on YT has a good exercise on "Air Changes" in his online classes.
Basically, you start forming that shape in the air and just play through... pretty soon your speed will increase.
Question...what genres do you have on Tab app?
I added a bunch...jazz, soul, grunge, funk....funk has so many bad ass bands..
I was tryna find Prince, tho...no luck...also more stuff in R&B.. especially classic r&b..
Easy one for the day...
All Falls down
Bar all 6 strings at the 6th fret with 1st finger and 2nd finger on 7th fret 5th string
Strum once and then take the same shape to the 5th and 4th frets and back to the 6th

Another super Easy one..
All open chords..standard tuning
Down strokes = d
Lola ...The Kinks
Intro...C chord
C ...d d..dd d d d and switch to
D ...2 times
Slide up to E ...strum 1 time
Song is E-A-D
So, after intro, I hold the E chord while individually picking 4th - 3rd- 1st - 2nd and repeating..4312..4312... this is optional..but it gives it a lil flava..
And then right into the chords EAD..
It's a classic, so I'm sure you should have no problem with when you make the switches from E-A- D..but if not, if you listen to it once, you'll have it. On a hollow body or acoustic, this sounds

@black again
Black, see if you can figure this one out. Seems simple enough. This beginning part is smooth as fuck!!!

Is that a wah wah in there?
Sounds like he's strumming up and down half muting to get that scratch sound.
Sometimes I won't even know the song, like this one, but I'll just play along to pick up the feel of the rhythm...
I was playing along with the 2nd 3rd 4th strings barred on the 8th fret and letting the 1st string kinda ring a lil.
I'm sure that's not how it's played on the song, but see how it sounds to you..
What I've found is the chords are often easy. It's the strumming pattern that is wayyy tougher...and makes the difference in your sound...it's that chica..chica sound you gotta make and you gotta keep your strumming hand moving.
I think its a pedal. But your a lifesaver with your technique points cause I'm currently going through some of the things you described. I have to do a better job of incorporating up strokes in my spider exercises, my chord and Arpeggio exercises as well. They are essential. I see how upstrokes help in playing Movin Out.

We've made some similar mistakes.
I got to where I was playing scales. ONLY using downstrokes, and could eventually fly through em.
Then my son was like, nawlll. Practice em alternating up and down on each note.
You'll never get fast without being able to do that.
I sounded like a complete beginner
So, for the next few weeks, that's ALL I did.
It was like basically relearning the scales.
Yup. That's what I need to do with these C scalesWe've made some similar mistakes.

One of the greatest solos of all time.
That lineup was crazy..
When someone asked Clapton what it felt like to be the greatest on guitar, he said you'd have to ask Prince.
On a sidenote...I always thought he was playing a Fender Tele, but that was a very inexpensive guitar..a Hohner maybe..but..I think he could make magic with whatever he touched.
@jack walsh13
I got Moving Out...super easy
I had to listen to it again to get it down, but it's all frets 543 on the 5th and 6th strings...
an Open 6th string, 1st fret on 6th and that lil slide from 3rd -5th fret ...and it takes you right back to the beginning..you go from 3rd fret 5th string to 5th fret 5th string.
You end up right where you started...to replay that riff again..

Prince absolutely snapped on that. He hit a zone and all everyone could do was just let him go off
That was a straight Alpha move...
Whether it's the basketball court, studio, boardroom...
You know when the big dog is in the house..
and you step aside
Thanks, going to make some time this weekend to catch up. Work schedule been hectic.
S'all good, fam...
That's partly why I've put up some really easy riffs...if you can learn something in a few minutes, it'll keep you engaged.
Then, you'll naturally start to push yourself, playing more difficult songs ...
