Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Oh, not only can I play it, I already have... Hold on...

If you like that, you might enjoy this one:

Eruption isn't all that hard.

And, at your age, it's probably too late for you to get REALLY good, like virtuoso good... You need to develop the brain at an early age, when the brain is more plasticine and malleable. You're an adult, I don't know your exact age, so it's probably impossible for you to become a virtuoso.

But, you could probably learn Eruption if you put your mind to it. Dee, by Randy Rhoads is about on par with Eruption as far as skill goes, but uses less effects. So, you might tackle that one first.

That's better! Yes makes perfect sense.

See, all that single picking you're doing, especially in the second one, that's amazing, I could never do that.

I appreciate all the encouragement, it's, well, encouraging lol.

You're really good, that's something people really admire (as you know!).

Thanks. I worked my ass off to get here.

You can absolutely improve. You're probably not going to get to be a virtuoso, as it's too late.

If you studied music as a kid, you'd have a node on the rear-left part of your brain. The more you studied, the more pronounced it would be.

While we don't know much about the brain, we're still learning. As an adult, you can't really grow that area of the brain - but you can draw new neural connections.

Oh yeah, I'm fascinated about the plasticity of the brain and re-growing neural pathways, it's incredible.

You know, all I really wanted to do, since I mainly like to sing, is fingerpick. And I think maybe indeed that that is something I COULD get good at, nothing special, just something like Dolly Parton for example.

If I disappear I'll be back, gonna go eat, but I believe next Friday I could post something (if I can make it un-cringeworthy lol).

Seems like on voat more people participated but can't really remember. The whole thing is pretty neat. The thread I mean, and people get to interact with someone so accomplished.
