Some new authors for VT blogs (hopefully)

You could say I have mixed interests. I'm pretty into my guitarist hobbies yet also avid towards my animation interests. Seeing as it's best to only focus on one of those at a time, I've decided to hire some new authors to the blog. I have'nt actually hired anyone yet but I will soon. I plan on hiring only one other author. Most probably to update on animation news.

There seems to be a link deficiency here to my main center of work, YouTube. So feel free to check out my origin ^_^ http://www.youtube.com/user/grassvalleystudios

This is a pretty small update and kinda useless so i'll write in a second time today.

Beginner tips for guitar Solos

Most Beginner guitarists are usually eager to dive right into advanced stuff. Although this is normal, it's not realistic. It's perfectly fine to try and learn a hard or comlex song as a beginner, does'nt mean you're going to suceed. Here's a few tips for mastering solos up and down as a beginner.

1. Get as many learning resources as you can. This means getting multiple tabs to compare to your liking, Video lessons and good covers to guide you through. Watching somebody do something is always easier.

2. Memorize it fully. This is of course the most obvious tip although alot of beginners tend to skip this step for reasons unknown.

3. Once memorized, Play the solo very slowly, over and over again going a little faster each time. Play it perfectly but slowly as many times as you can. If you screw up, start over again. Do this for about an hour if possible. In a week you should be able to play it full speed with no problem.

4. Play to the original recording. Of course nothing is gonna be like the first. so go ahead and jam to the Recording.
