Hey all,

I play for one month now, i can do parts of high bells and orion.
I tried eyes of the tigers, the first on songsterr, well, I'm not ready yet. Total fail 🫠.

Im now going on game of throne's main thème.

After the introduce, here my asking.
What do you have in your bag, who can be "ez" and btw learn technics, chords (for fingers, brain will come later for me) ? 🤔

PS : almost forgot brother Jacob 😂.
Ps2 : I'm playing on an electric, if that's important 🤘

Ty all,
I need inspiration I guess 🙂

Sounds great! I'd suggest to go for one thing at a time though. Doing muted power chords with alternate picking is tough to get right, even more advanced players don't do it very often (and I'd say I'm unable to do it very well neither). Most times, doing downstrokes only on palm mutes sounds way better as you'll always hear the pick direction, and you sacrifice a lot of punch when the power chords alternate in their quality.

That said, keep going! \m/

Yeah clearly.
I'm not going hard on the alternate, just few minutes then an then during my sessions.

No frustration bc I'm really bad at it.
I'm doing that BC of the pulp fiction's opening theme.

Ah alright! If you're aiming for the main melody though, those notes are not power chords. I'm sure you know this, but from your posting I drew the impression you were practicing alternate picking on palm muted power chords. ;)
