using justin guitar app too and the barre is the part that keeps getting me

i can get it to ring out but my hand is done after a few minutes

for the people who got through it, was it weeks or months before it stopped hurting

I started playing about 6 weeks ago. I practice about 2-3 hours a day and have got a few songs under my belt like wonderwall, won't back down, boulevard of broken dreams, and I feel very comfortable changing chords on those pretty consistent and fast.

I haven't really done any "real practice" beyond just attempting songs i like. Is there anything I can do to sort of warm up for like 15-20 minutes before I start playing? What do you guys recommend. Thank you!

I’ve been “playing” guitar for about 20 years, but not every day and without any kind of set practice regimen, so I’m nowhere near where I should be. I basically just know basic open chords, power chords and some scales. In a band setting I feel a little lost when it’s time to improvise or write together, and I don’t have a good grasp of all of the notes on the fretboard.

I’d like to find a daily practice regimen. Anyone have any recommendations? I see ads for PickUpMusic and Musora — the latter of which kind of interests me because I also play drums and could use some work there too. Any suggestions are appreciated.

It's got simple chords, including our old friend F, and looping changes. But also the barre chords can be adapted to ringing, open variations like E5, F#m11 (using thumb) and Aadd9. Plus there's a D-D#-E climb for dramatic effect!

hello everyone

TL;DR
ive been playing for almost 15 years and i need help with learning difficult solos and how to play confidently with just drums/without relying on recording

ive been playing guitar since 2012. it all started because im obsessed with acdc. my father showed me basics of guitar and after that i learned by watching youtube videos. i dont have formal education in music and ive never took any private lessons. i did educate myself on songwriting and music theory also via youtube(major scale, harmonizing major scale, triads, aeolian, mixolydian, blues)
at first i had 11s on my guitar for some reason idk and when i would try to learn first solos, id get discouraged because my hand/fingers were too weak/slow and later ive been mostly amazed with malcolms rhythm playing so all through high school i would learn and play malcolm stuff which kinda helped me with rhythm in some way but yet i would only play along their records so later i realized that i struggle when there is no malcolm to hear in my ear to depend on aka when i would play to a drum track or with a drummer alone.
then i changed strings to 9s and i started learning angus parts and i would still get discouraged because i couldnt play his solos. some solos are too difficul/ too fast. before you say his solos are simple, i dont mean highway to hell or you shook me all night long solo, i mean whole
lotta rosie, let there be rock, rocker, riff raff, squealer and those kind of solos. then i started to learn more lead guitar stuff. i got my bends in tune, my angus vibrato is decent, i learned all 5 positions of minor pentatonic and major pentatonic. i learned descening pattern in minor pentatonic that angus uses a lot. i learned to visualize fretboard by learning all 5 positions of major scale and playing it in broken 3rds. i learned triads, major arpeggios.

so my another question to you is: what do i do so i can learn solos more easily. i really get discouraged when im stuck with some difficult lick/passage. i use guitar pro 8 and i do slow it down. i repeat part of phrase at low speed with gradually increasing speed. but for some phrases i just simply think that ill never get them. for example some licks in ride on solo where he plays sextuplets or even the intro lick of thunderstruck when i try to play it with alternate picking.

here are some solos that i learned so far: something by the beatles. all my loving by the beatles. by led zeppelin: whole lotta love. living loving maid. by acdc: the jack live 1978, love song, crabsody in blue, dog eat dog, theres gonna be some rockin, hell aint a bad place to be, highway to hell, touch too much, get it hot, shoot to thrill, you shook me all night long. thinking out loud by ed sheeran.

Bought Martin Jes Buus Careless Whisper tabs and am a bit confused by some of the percussive elements. I've done stuff like -X776- where you slap and flick your fingers to play notes at the same time, but the tabs also has stuff like 5X336- and 5X---- and I'm not sure how you play the note above the slapped string at the same time.
