Jak Angelescu - Dec 29, 2020
I have put myself in guitar school all over again! Instead of feeling pressured to get solos completely perfect, I am giving myself assignments for certain things and my assignment for this week was to get the rhythm of the song up to speed and played standing up as if I was in a performance. Next week I will start really nailing on the solo! I already know it but I can't play it up to speed yet very well.
I dedicate this video to @[4668:@Alicia Willis] who inspired me to have fun and let go and goof off if I want to be myself. I also dedicate this to @[59877:@Kat the metalhead] who doesn't ever give a shit what people think about how she looks or how she plays. She rocks hard on the camera and she is always true to herself. Something that I have forgotten about over the last few years.

Bill is doing another #AMA! Go ask him your guitar questions!
Instagram: BillHudsonGtr
Man...I missed me so active here.
I love how I can see my older posts so easily and I read the responses from you guys on one of them and I about peed my pants laughing so hard.
I love every one of you so much!!
I just have to say that it's almost kind of making me cry seeing all of these submissions for Eddie.
What a great job everyone is doing paying tribute to our resting hero.
Bill ended up giving us two badass singers that are so fucking good. And we're waiting to hear back from our first choice, who actually happens to be the singer of a band I like! I was like "WTF THIS GUY?!"
THEN, as the conversation went, Bill had to listen to the demo of the song and he goes, "Okay, I'm gonna give you a suggestion you didn't ask for but I'm doing it anyways." Needless to say, what he suggested was fucking GOLD. I told him, "I never really cared for Holly's melody here. I thought it needed to change more. But this fixed it!" He said "It's not her melody that needed to change, it's fine. It was your guitar part that needed to change."
The fucking song sounds INSANE now!!! I can't wait to record the new part!
See you guys at the live stream today!
testing
In my last lesson Bill openly told me that I'm falling behind on my theory. I told him it was because my technique was so awful that I had been spending a lot of time on my technique methods he taught me and then working on this big audition song thingy. What he told me afterwards made me so damn happy. He said...
"I can tell you this. You're at a level now where you could walk into any room, pick up any guitar, and play any song and people would say 'wow she's fucking good!' But you're falling away from the level of being able to walk into a room of jazz musicians and play along. I shouldn't be seeing you counting on your fingers anymore."
So I closed all of my social media accounts and am pulling 8-hour days (5 of practice, 3 of band recording) and wow.
I don't always want a Synyster Gates acoustic. But when I do, I have to wait almost a year for them to come back in stock right after I drop $1,000 on the studio, getting my guitars fixed, and our drummer
Looks like it's overtime baybay!
Holy shit. That masterclass was fucking nuts!!! Thank you so much to everyone who came. It really meant a lot to both of us!
Wow... community donations, student perks, rockstar student awards, masterclasses.... this fucking school is on FIRE....
All hail those who made it happen! And who benefit from it, our little kittens! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
I would like to thank my girl Alex, Patrick and Syn for letting me blow up their inboxes and phones with my technology meltdown today... and helping me through it. And most importantly, not judging me for it
Why didn't any of you tell me my bends were flat, my finger coordination was poor, my connection was stiff and my vibratos were weak when I did the 2nd Stage solo?!
I can safely say that it's been a day where I forgot if I put underwear on or not, lol!
Ahhhh.... a day off!! Feeling confident with the material I worked on for my lesson with Bill today. And now...
I'm gonna spend some time on here giving my alma mater some time
Whew. I'm practicing all these things. I may try to go live on Instagram around 4 to lesson my nerves playing this in front of him
PS! Seeing some much better work from you guys. You all are doing wonderfully and I love you all!
OMG!!! I just got the sixlets for the solo I'm learning with Bill up to 100BPMS! It's a 35 BPM improvement in just ONE FUCKING DAY!! AAAHHH I CAN'T CONTAIN MY HAPPINESS RIGHT NOW!
I feel normal! I got great internet where I won't be having to use my silly mobile hotspot. Now I can actually use this site on a laptop and get the full experience. Yay!!
Just heard Kiko Loureiro's new single! I'm in love!!
Really looking forward to digging into this site today.
Me: *issues contest*
Students: *pick noses*
Me: "I'VE ISSUED A CONTEST AND Y'ALL BETTER FUCKING STRAIGHTEN UP!"
Students: *Create platinum-selling album cohesively, design award-winning guitar, open up a charity to give each unfortunate child in a third world country a guitar, become masters overnight, have Yngwie Malmsteen asking them for lessons, and become complete virtuosos overnight*
Me: "Shit now I have to pick ONE?"
Y'all are kicking ass! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE
