    Starting a rock band is actually a great way to learn rock music. I played in metalcore bands during high school, but after graduating, my drummer friend asked me to start a rock band with our bassist friend, so we learned a bunch of covers and a year later we had 6 awesome original rock songs and recorded our first EP. Unfortunately, we broke up by the time it came out, but it's still a great EP. This was back in 2012-2014, and since then I've started combining all of my interests from rock, punk, metalcore, deathcore, J-Pop, etc. and have gotten a really cool progressive rock kind of thing going. I just released a deathcore concept album in the spring too, but my poppy progressive rock stuff is what I'm best at.
    Edit: because of interest in the comments, here are the albums I mentioned.
    Follow by August Silhouette (deathcore, available everywhere)
    Now Playing by Idle Cinema (rock, only available on youtube)
    The music I released between the albums is available on this channel, but all new music will be on the August Silhouette channel.
    Thank you for the interest!

  • @lifeinlimbo2186

    Your best bet is to put the guitar down while you watch older rock bands from the 70's and early 80's play and solo for a few songs a day and simply skip to the next song and band once you get the idea. Or,just listen to older classic rock when not playing metal music. Your brain will automatically adjust and memorize ideas. This is also a great exercise for your brain.
