Members honeyiscool Posted February 4, 2012 Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm also bad at tremolo picking. I can get it going sometimes but if I lose it, it sounds really sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members orourke Posted February 4, 2012 Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm a lefty playing righty, so pretty much anything that calls for right-hand skill is tough for me... I'm a lefty playing righty and I'm the best rhythm player I know, seriously I smoke at right-hand stuff. Though I suck at counting, I've just got to learn the song and feel it. If I have to start doing that 1-2, 1-2-3 stuff I'm in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members honeyiscool Posted February 4, 2012 Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 David Byrne is lefty playing righty and so is Mark Knopfler. I'd love to play like either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted February 4, 2012 Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 i'm not good at playing with a pick, improvising intelligent solos, shredding, I just can't, dialing good tone (the one in my head) with the crappy rig I have. The list could go on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Glenn F Posted February 4, 2012 Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 I've wondered whether my weakness with fast strumming/picking was a function of me being a southpaw playing right-handed. I just probably need a few lessons and lots of time in the woodshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FoonkySteve Posted February 4, 2012 Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm really bad at making time to practice. Even when I do, I wont practice efficiently, I'll give up on something too easily these days. In the 1st 4 years of playing, I used to practice loads, and spend every spare minute, learning new songs, theory, techniques and the rest. Then, I think life happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nicholai Posted February 4, 2012 Members Share Posted February 4, 2012 This is also my situation, and the reason so much of my playing is in open tunings for the past ten years. My fingerpicking hand is fairly fast and I can hit a lot of notes in a short time if I want to, but my fretting hand is a useless log and can't hope to keep up, so with the open tunings I can use a lot of two/three-finger chord formations and one-finger melodies and barre majors while basically faking a 'wall of sound'. You aren't the only one who plays like this. If you ever want to offer me advice to open tuning chords I'll take it. Darnit now I'm even more interested in your guitars.

Members s1120 Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Well it would take less room to say what im good at. ...But my real problem aeras are... Bad eyesite... when im learning a song its real tough to follow a tab... I have poor eyesite, so I loose my place a lot... the good point is that it makes me learn the song faster... so its not that bad realy... Also I cant play with a pick.... but that has made me learn fingerstyle, what I realy enjoy, and playing electric guitar fingerstyle gives me a diferent sound/style that will [well...when I get better playing anyways..] make me stand out in the pack a little. Mostly its finding a time to pratice... Ive gotten better at it, but having a full time job, and two young kids...[and a wife thats not realy into me playing...] its tough to find the time to put in the hours needed.

Members WilmerTheWhite Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Decades of playing improvised freejazz has made me bad at reading music. It can take me an hour, or more, to read and learn an arranged tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bbreaker Posted February 5, 2012 Members Share Posted February 5, 2012 Since I had nerve transposition surgery on my left elbow, my left hand hasn't come back 100%. I was told it would be at best 80%. I guess I'm lucky. My chord stretches are not what they used to be, my dexterity/fluidity is not what it used to be. I have to really think about my playing these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
