TO SAY THAT I AM SO $%&#ING OVER THE MOON!
And all because I've actually mastered a song. Not just any song, but to me, the most demanding of my guitar playing yet. And I feel soooooooooooooooooo good. To the point that it's getting creepy that I'm just saying that I'm soooooooo happy soooooo much.
So yeah, I started this about 2 days ago. It's "You'll Find Safety" by Architects from the Ruin album. When I first downloaded the tab, I was like 'shitee, this is gonna be difficult' and over time I got used to the time signature changes and then the really $%&#ing difficult technical runs which the more I practiced, the more they seemed 'normal' (and I mean 'normal' because in tech metal, to me, the sound is very obscure and sort of like 'the wrong notes' so to speak) and I am so happy they got nailed. And I was headbanging away playing alongside the track and it was so much $%&#ing fun!
Ah.. I see this as a milestone to me, in my guitar playing progress.
Ha, I'm so chuffed.
TOM SEARLE IS KING. FACT.

awesome! i know how you feel, i feel the same way! yesterday i finally finished learning Opeth's "To bid you farewell". Not a technically difficult song, but its 11 minutes long and i've never attempted anything that complicated before.
nothing like the feeling of learning a hard or awesome song.

Awesome man! I know the feeling too of finally nailing a song that you initially thought was difficult. I always think with enough perseverience and determination anybody can learn just about anything!

Well I am listening to Architects for the first time ever and if you've mastered this then congrats! I wouldnt know where to start with this sort of thing.

Cool! Congrats! put here to us listen! :D
-
Epic choice!

Nice one :D
I have no idea about the music in question (I might go and check it out later to see what we're talking about here, sounds like it might be beyond me :roll:), but there is nothing quite like knowing you've just achieved something :D
Hang on to that feeling if you can, so you can tap into it again when life's rich tapestry, er, sh1ts in yer lunchbox further on down the line... :lol:
EDIT: Can a tapestry actually perform that act? Ummm... a rather mixed metaphor, but who cares, you all know what I mean :D

Well done bruv. I'm not into those guys but they are some reeeeeeal players, very hard to learn i think.

Yeah, like when one tries to record it.
Man, nothing else so far has deflated my ego so quickly. Recording is a bitch.
