      @@ejnova7215 experience I have 40 years on the guitar. I play a variety of music, but I love playing metal. I have multiple guitars. If you can afford to have both, that’s a good deal too. Having an acoustic to practice on is helpful, because you can practice anywhere. Electric guitars allow you a variety of tones. If you want to play metal you’ll want to use distortion. But even some metal guitarists can get away playing metal on clean tones.

  • @4ourofclubs
    @4ourofclubs Před rokem +19

    When I was younger I used to associate distorted heavy sounds with speed and quickness, and acoustic softer sounds with calm and slowness. I always thought it was cool/badass to play in the style of the first half of this video. Then when you switched it up and continued to shred it, I realized that bringing the speed and technicality of rock/metal into a softer sound can be equally or even more badass! It just feels like the music you showcased in the second half was a more mature and blossomed sound/style, which might probably reflect on your own growth as a musician. Much respect to you and your work!
