Title: Top 40 Newbie Mistakes
Post by: BAMF on November 09, 2007, 04:21:02 PM
Ripped from the October issue of Guitar Player

large 400%

Investing in distortion boxes instead of a good amp.

Learning 100 intros and no songs.

Limiting yourself to one style of music-usually metal.

Not taking the time to learn music theory.

Playing "Smoke on the Water" on the high-E string.

Playing too loud, and with too much distortion.

Setting your amp's Gain on 10, and Mids on 0.

Relying on picks.

Not learning how to perform a basic setup.

Not maintaining your gear.

Not jamming enough with other players.

Over use of legato with a complete disregard for tempo.

Poor phrasing.

Weak vibrato.

Buying too many effects.

Listening to tone snobs.

Immediately launching into thirty-second-notes during a blues solo.

Thinking that playing the local bar circuit constitutes a "tour."

Believing that opening for a national act means you're on your way.

Not knowing the difference between tube watts and solid-state watts.

Relying too much on printed music and tabs.

Thinking a year of lessons and $5,000 worth of gear makes you ready to play in a band.

Wearing the guitar way too low.

Using too much hand/finger pressure when fretting.

Taking guitar lessons from a friend.

Giving up immediately because you sound like dog doo.

Not learning how all your gear works.

Tuning every guitar at Guitar Center to dropped D, and then not retuning them to standard pitch.

Bringing full stacks to tiny bar gigs.

Saying "All [insert hated style of music] sucks, dude!"

Learning with your eyes, instead of your ears.

Not learning to play in time with good groove and feel.

Not investing in good earplugs for playing loud gigs.

Obsessing about playing burning solos, and not caring about rhythm guitar.

Thinking that playing fast pentatonic-box patterns makes you a hot guitarist.

Not putting casters on viciously heavy amps.

Wearing bowling shirts emblazoned with flames and dragons.

Realizing guitar is too difficult and taking up bass instead.

Spending more time on Harmony Central than actually practicing.

Forgetting that playing music is meant to be fun.

hehehe umamin na ang may aaminin! ako guilty ako sa music theory thing na yun! (I really based on what I read and heard from my musician relatives)

tsaka yung wearing your guitar too low.. mababa talaga ang gitara ko.. though di naman ako nahihirapan.. siguro sa picking style or kahit kasi nagpapraktis akoi magisa eh nakatayo ako.. I dunno..

and yung not jamming enough with others.. masyado akong nagiging centralize sa mga compo ko.. (though I need to learn a lot from others..)

hmm ano pa ba?

hahaha. i remember first learning to play guitar and not even knowing how to hold the darn thing right. I had the guitar upside down and positioned as if I were a lefty. Hey, I am a piano player by foundation so what did I know? Things have worked out well though and I learned a lot by going to concerts, taking lessons and playing along with records.

Limiting yourself to one style of music (in my case blues... pero lahat naman ng blues-influenced styles inaaral ko)

Not taking the time to learn music theory.

Not maintaining your gear (tamad ako maglinis!).

Buying too many effects.

Listening to tone snobs. 

Not learning how all your gear works.

Not investing in good earplugs for playing loud gigs. (pero meron na ngayon)

Obsessing about playing solos, and not caring about rhythm guitar. (guilty!)

Spending more time on Harmony Central (+ TGP, PhilMusic) than actually practicing.

Forgetting that playing music is meant to be fun.

through the help of this thread, i was finally convinced that it is better to spend more time on practicing and studying music theory with less gear instead of wasting time tweaking a load of effects for days and not being able to learn to complete even a single song.

my next GAS would probably be just several packs of strings,a tremol-no, jazz3 picks and several cans of wd40 and pledge.  :-D

Not taking the time to learn music theory.

Not knowing the difference between tube watts and solid-state watts.

Learning with your eyes, instead of your ears.

Not learning to play in time with good groove and feel.

Not investing in good earplugs for playing loud gigs.

Spending more time on "PHILMUSIC" than actually practicing.

Listening to tone snobs.

sus 4= sustain 4 :-D

Yeah, i know a lot of people who mistake the Sus as sustained when the sus actually reffers to the suspended 4th which causes the suspended sound of the chord.

This misconception has become so rampant a guitar teacher once corrected me saying "It's not suspended 4th, it's sustained 4th!"  :-D

Limiting yourself to one style of music-usually metal.

IMO, I don't see anything wrong limiting yourself to metal. A lot of metal guitarists are talented and incorporates a lot of styles in their playing from classical to jazz-fusion. Metal is basically a combination of many musical elements i.e. blues, classical, jazz etc. so you'll surely learn a lot even if you just limit yourself to metal. Maybe what the Guitar Player author really meant was NU metal?  :roll:

Anyway i will not look up to people whom does not look in the mirror and not practising what they preach.

Maybe coz friends are more forgiving of your mistakes and will try to himas nicely for fear that they might lose your friendship.

Another reason is that if you take your lessons from friends, it will be free. And if you take it for free, you won't take it seriously. Masakit man but I learned more from teachers who I paid good money to teach me. Kasi, me time pressure ako. I had to do my exercises religiously coz it was my money I was spending (or wasting hehehe). In hindsight, they might feel let down if they heard me play today mwahahaha.

this one's definitely true. Although, I have been taking lessons from my friend and have been paying for it in cash. I told him that I will not accept the lessons for free and that he should be properly compensated for the time and effort he is giving and going to give. .... been practicing whenever possible as well... a couple of hours in the morning and several more hours in the evening when i get home from work... lol...

Ripped from the October issue of Guitar Player

large 400%

Investing in distortion boxes instead of a good amp.

Learning 100 intros and no songs.

Limiting yourself to one style of music-usually metal.

Not taking the time to learn music theory.

Playing "Smoke on the Water" on the high-E string.

Playing too loud, and with too much distortion.

Setting your amp's Gain on 10, and Mids on 0.


Relying on picks.


Not learning how to perform a basic setup.

Not maintaining your gear.

Not jamming enough with other players.

Over use of legato with a complete disregard for tempo.

Poor phrasing.

Weak vibrato.

Buying too many effects.


Listening to tone snobs.


Immediately launching into thirty-second-notes during a blues solo.

Thinking that playing the local bar circuit constitutes a "tour."

Believing that opening for a national act means you're on your way.

Not knowing the difference between tube watts and solid-state watts.

Relying too much on printed music and tabs.

Thinking a year of lessons and $5,000 worth of gear makes you ready to play in a band.

Wearing the guitar way too low.

Using too much hand/finger pressure when fretting.

Taking guitar lessons from a friend.

Giving up immediately because you sound like dog doo.

Not learning how all your gear works.

Tuning every guitar at Guitar Center to dropped D, and then not retuning them to standard pitch.

Bringing full stacks to tiny bar gigs.

Saying "All [insert hated style of music] sucks, dude!"

Learning with your eyes, instead of your ears.

Not learning to play in time with good groove and feel.


Not investing in good earplugs for playing loud gigs.

Obsessing about playing burning solos, and not caring about rhythm guitar.

Thinking that playing fast pentatonic-box patterns makes you a hot guitarist.

Not putting casters on viciously heavy amps.

Wearing bowling shirts emblazoned with flames and dragons.

Realizing guitar is too difficult and taking up bass instead.

Spending more time on Harmony Central than actually practicing.

Forgetting that playing music is meant to be fun.

guilty ako sa...music theory - coz i don't know how to squeeze it to my schedule

and most specially...not knowing the concepts of...
1) the 'amp' in line with 'distortion pedals'
and
2) pick-ups (single coil v.s. humbuckers)

maybe coz i'm not really exposed sa gigging scene.. that i learned it only after getting busy with 'life'..
still...
i think i'm still in-between a newbie & an intermediate guitar player.

with all due respect to the moderator who posed reality to all of us,

i mean, we all were NEWBIE's..
nobody learned how to drive a car the first time

since we were then newbie's, therefore, we will never learn how to "play" guitar the first time.

i would like to see that list as a measurement of how much as i have progressed rather than see it as alist of newbie mistakes.

i was a student of mr. aaron dignos
and he once taught me to make mistakes
he wouldn't be a guitar instructor if he hadn't made the same mistakes on that list.

So go on people,
keep making mistakes
cause, we will never know what our true potentials if we will never learn from our mistakes..

well, i dont really do much plucking so di ko sya naiisip na "noob mistake", anyway i think thats more on preference, i know a guy who freakin' shreds with his finger nails!  :-o literal dumudugo daliri nya, ewan ko kung bakit pero ganun gusto nya.

i once saw this music teacher back in my yupangco days, SUPER HALIMAW sa plucking!! he is a clasiscal guitar player, grabe, ang galing! yung walang pick un pero halimaw talaga, nag sweep using a nylon classical guitar!

siguro noob mistake is to take other peoples preference and make it your own, getting advice is okay and helpful, yes, you use it as reference, mas masarap yung pinag hirapan mo ung technique, develop your own preference and tone through experience. :)

i also disagree to keep making mistakes, respectfully ofcourse.

someone had made that 40 mistakes sometime in their life, we don't have to keep making the same mistakes to prove a point.

what i do agree is learning on our mistakes, and to not be let down in case we make one

well, i dont really do much plucking so di ko sya naiisip na "noob mistake", anyway i think thats more on preference, i know a guy who freakin' shreds with his finger nails!  :-o literal dumudugo daliri nya, ewan ko kung bakit pero ganun gusto nya.

i once saw this music teacher back in my yupangco days, SUPER HALIMAW sa plucking!! he is a clasiscal guitar player, grabe, ang galing! yung walang pick un pero halimaw talaga, nag sweep using a nylon classical guitar!

siguro noob mistake is to take other peoples preference and make it your own, getting advice is okay and helpful, yes, you use it as reference, mas masarap yung pinag hirapan mo ung technique, develop your own preference and tone through experience. :)

the dude from Kastigo (Joshua Montecillo) shreds using only his index finger. lupet \m/

Baka yung relying on picks na mistake ang ibig sabihin nun eh pag wala kang pick eh di ka na makatugtog ng maayos, kung baga hindi ka flexible. That's what I think...

Post by: kym005 on June 18, 2013, 01:44:26 AM
Guilty as charged.  :eek: :eek: :eek:


Ripped from the October issue of Guitar Player

large 400%

Investing in distortion boxes instead of a good amp.

Learning 100 intros and no songs.

Limiting yourself to one style of music-usually metal.

Not taking the time to learn music theory.

Playing "Smoke on the Water" on the high-E string.

Playing too loud, and with too much distortion.

Setting your amp's Gain on 10, and Mids on 0.

Relying on picks.

Not learning how to perform a basic setup.

Not maintaining your gear.

Not jamming enough with other players.

Over use of legato with a complete disregard for tempo.

Poor phrasing.

Weak vibrato.

Buying too many effects.

Listening to tone snobs.

Immediately launching into thirty-second-notes during a blues solo.

Thinking that playing the local bar circuit constitutes a "tour."

Believing that opening for a national act means you're on your way.

Not knowing the difference between tube watts and solid-state watts.

Relying too much on printed music and tabs.

Thinking a year of lessons and $5,000 worth of gear makes you ready to play in a band.

Wearing the guitar way too low.

Using too much hand/finger pressure when fretting.

Taking guitar lessons from a friend.

Giving up immediately because you sound like dog doo.

Not learning how all your gear works.

Tuning every guitar at Guitar Center to dropped D, and then not retuning them to standard pitch.

Bringing full stacks to tiny bar gigs.

Saying "All [insert hated style of music] sucks, dude!"

Learning with your eyes, instead of your ears.

Not learning to play in time with good groove and feel.

Not investing in good earplugs for playing loud gigs.

Obsessing about playing burning solos, and not caring about rhythm guitar.

Thinking that playing fast pentatonic-box patterns makes you a hot guitarist.

Not putting casters on viciously heavy amps.

Wearing bowling shirts emblazoned with flames and dragons.

Realizing guitar is too difficult and taking up bass instead.

Spending more time on Philmusic than actually practicing.

Forgetting that playing music is meant to be fun.

1. Neglecting the use of a Metronome
2. Too fixated on a style without even studying the theory behind it thinking that it is a ''shortcut'' to playing fast (eg Yngwie style)
3. Cramming as much as cover songs, licks and exercises as you can without even incorporating them into your own playing

Dito ako guilty  :-(

Learning 100 intros and no songs.

Simula nung natigil ako tumugtog at nagmove dito sa Metro Manila puro simula na lang ako. Dagdag pa ang kawalan ko ng banda ngayon.

Not learning how to perform a basic setup.

Natatakot ako galawin yung neck baka masira :lol:

Over use of legato with a complete disregard for tempo.

I'm currently working on this. Pero dati ang philosophy ko ay basta nasa timing ang unang note and the last few notes sa legato run Ok na yun hehe.

Learning with your eyes, instead of your ears.

Dahil d ako marunong kumanta  :cry: kaya sa mga patterns na alam kong swak sa tugtog ako nagrerely.

Since then naging mabagal ang progress ko.

kaya minsan good thing yung may recording interface ka e. You record your own, seek for more improvement on the song you have made while listening to it. haha. kahit wala ka banda, there's still a chance to improve yourself. kaya yan ang GAS ko ngayon. di palang mapermit ng budget.  :lol:

GAS is really bad for us. Last year, I have a big ass pedal board, sold a couple pedals and settled to a smaller setup to fund my GAS for a jazzmaster. Until now, I cannot find a decent jazzmaster na pasok sa budget  :lol:

Thinking that playing fast pentatonic-box patterns makes you a hot guitarist.


I don't think there's something wrong with this. I mean, Joe Bonamassa and Eric Johnson play pentatonics fast. I guess, you just have to play "Clean" fast pentatonics.
But that's just my opinion though.  :-P
