    Def one of the best videos for modern guitar players out there. Regardless of how anyone comes up with their ideas, the biggest thing is that it’s musical, and I love how you talked about wanting to just make the most pleasing sounds you can.

    this way is genius, being able to prototype the song and learn to play it to speed at the same time 🙏🔥

    I was expecting this video for a long long time, i even wrote a comment on a short asking about your guitar technique and stuff (like many other people). Thanks for doing this, i wanted to participate in the mg3contest, but i had problems with my insecurities about my music production skill (i am a newbie in ableton), and i have been in many jazz schools since 14 yrs old (i am 22 right now) but i can't reach that edm, hyperpop, trap, etc. style of playing the guitar.
    I really hope one day be part of you guys, the modern guitar player nowadays are really the future to do great stuff in modern pop music.

    Thankyou so much for this great video 🔥 May I ask if you use audio interface to record your guitar directly? Or you use mic to record sound from your amps? Answering would help me a lot. Thanks! Don't stop posting ❤

    My only issue is that when I input the midi file and turn it to tabs on guitar pro it makes some note fret at (for instance) the 29th fret which is impossible

    cool song really... but i'm still wonder, can you play your stuff live, your sound very digital, and in this lesson you showed 4 accords finally in raw, i would happy to hear your song like that. without hate dude, simply want to see your skill

    All due respect, writing a song with the idea of making it flashy is cringe. If the moment calls for intensity, then by all means, but often times, less is more.

    • @jamesstent
      @jamesstent  День назад +1

      agreed yes
      so when i wanna make a more stripped back riff i will
      and when i wanna make a flashy riff i will

    • @DeonSaga
      @DeonSaga 23 часа назад +1

      telling a modern guitarist (especially polyphia inspired)not to aim for a flashy riff is like telling a heavy metal band not to do their cringy scream or a jazz guitarist not to use complex chords, its quite literally the staple of the genre. of course you can subjectively find it cringe but flashy is definitely the point
