Top Reasons Why Your Guitar Playing Doesn’t Sound Good Yet

1. Top Reasons Why Your Guitar Playing Doesn’t Sound Good Yet

2. Introduction In the course of learning the guitar, where the student feels like he can play songs, riffs, licks, and solos but for some reason, they don’t seem to sound good. where he knows he’s hitting the right notes, but for some reason, he couldn’t put a finger on it, the music just doesn’t sound right. Once you know that your guitar and your playing have a clear clean sound, then move on to looking at your amplifier. Start with all the tone knobs set around their center. Set the tone and volume knobs on the guitar to the maximum. If the amp has a master volume and a gain knob, reduce the gain to about 1/3 or maybe even less. Set the master volume for a fairly low sound level. If it doesn’t sound clear, drop the guitar’s volume knob a little. Drop the bass tone knob a little. See what effect those have on your clarity. Do the same for the mid and treble. If nothing seems to make any improvement, then get someone like guitar teacher in Franklin TN who knows about amps to help you out . the following are some of the common reasons why your guitar playing doesn’t sound right, even though you’re playing the right notes.

3. Unwanted String Noise There can be many possibilities those are worn nut, strings too close to the frets, worn frets, strings hitting the pickup, amp cranked to distortion level, torn speaker, a loose component in the amp, a worn amp tube, not pressing the string hard enough, putting your finger on rather than behind the fret. the notes you’re hitting may be the right ones, but if the sound is coming out from the strings you’re not hitting, or the ones you have just hit to play the previous notes, this sound will bleed in with that of the intended notes, and make everything sound messy. If this is your problem, you need to develop the necessary left and right-hand muting techniques to deaden the unwanted sound. You’re not exactly on time – During band rehearsals, It wasn’t realizing that some of the time – especially during fast solos – I wasn’t being exactly on the beat. when it came to recording those solos though, it was either a bit before the beat or a bit after it.

4. Never Record Yourself • The best way to be aware of the mistakes and imperfections is to record yourself on camera and listening/watching yourself while you’re not playing. If you only listen to yourself playing while concentrating on playing, it will be very difficult to spot out the cause of your inaccuracies . • Your Vibrato Sucks – • Mostly the people think the vibrato technique involved was wiggling your finger a little up and down to get the effect. Except that it didn’t sound quite right until you started practicing vibrato correctly. • While practicing vibrato, make sure you’re doing these two things right: • You should bend the string for the same distance on each note towards which vibrato is applied. Your bending in vibrato can be narrow or wide as much as you want – but make sure you don’t mix narrow bends with wider ones when applying it to a note. • The string doesn’t arrive back at the exact point of departure. When coming back from each bend, make sure you always take the string to the exact point that it left before you started the vibrato motion.

5. Conclusion It is normal when we are new we get excited and want to learn new techniques, scales, chords, songs, riffs, licks, solos, etc. things that usually increase in difficulty and complexity and make us feel better guitar players. However, sometimes we need to revisit elements of our playing we already know and improve on them by taking the help from guitar lessons in Franklin. it may be a good idea to go back to your old music and play it again, keeping the things above in mind, and fixing what needs to be fixed.
