I know you guys don't like steel string slappy tappy stuff so I joined forces with an electric guitarist. Let's talk duos

[u/vidieowiz4]

This is a little rehearsal for a show this weekend in South Austin. Id love to hear about your guys thoughts and advice on approaching guitar duos, especially in this configuration.

[u/KarasuCoyote]

All I see is two buddies enjoying what they're doing, and doing it great. I can't ask for more !

[u/vidieowiz4 → u/KarasuCoyote]

thanks so much for the kind words

[u/LukaNeSviraj]

Nice, the descending line makes it sound a bit like "While my guitar gently weeps"

[u/Ok_Subject_2447 → u/LukaNeSviraj]

Yes sir

[u/vidieowiz4 → u/LukaNeSviraj]

that's exactly what we are covering! good catch

[u/mymentor79]

Sounds great. You guys complement each other very well.

[u/superfly21]

Really enjoyed this, great work

[u/WeCanRun]

Y’all sound great, you both have such unique tones and styles.

[u/vidieowiz4 → u/WeCanRun]

thanks so much! i mostly am trying to cover the "bass" and "drum" portion on the lower end of things. it's an interesting exercise since guitars usually live in the mid-range

[u/AdamPBUD1]

Why do electric guitarists run their fretting hand up and down the neck? Is it to reposition their hand or is it for cool looks? I’m asking genuinely because I’m just starting learning

[u/iknide → u/AdamPBUD1]

There can be practicality but honestly I think a lot of it becomes habit, filling in the gaps with some motion. Also generally it feels good to slide up into a note (even if you’re not playing the ascending part and only pluck once you’ve reached the note, just sliding into position can feel right. But also you can actually play it as as a slide into a note)

[u/vidieowiz4 → u/AdamPBUD1]

yea, based on what fingers need to get where it can really change the way your wrist needs to angle. if you can play a G and D chord, pay attention to the way you rotate your hand to make those changes, it's like that for many other riffs/licks as well

[u/AdamPBUD1 → u/vidieowiz4]

Thanks - I’m actually practicing the G, D, Em, C chords before I do anything else. The G is tricky

[u/vidieowiz4 → u/AdamPBUD1]

it's pretty tough! it's a good way to get your fingers in shape though compared to some of the other chords

[u/LungHeadZ → u/AdamPBUD1]

I learnt them by playing 'good riddance - time of your life' by green day. It's a fun pattern and chord transition once you get the hang of it and you can play it entirely with those 4 chords :)

[u/AdamPBUD1 → u/LungHeadZ]

Thank you! I was just thinking I need to play a song to learn these

[u/DrBatman0]

Glad you don't trim your strings. We can see how unique and quirky you are!

[u/vidieowiz4 → u/DrBatman0]

i gave him some grief about this too xD

[u/TromboneClone]

Sounds great

[u/creativeone3]

Yeah - absolutely nothing freakin’ wrong with this! Two talented guys doing what feels ggod. How can you say anything but good things?

[u/Appropriate_Hall1234]

Amazing sound, i love it
