Hey there. I've been wondering: how can you tell if you're in rhythm when you're playing fast and using a metronome? I try to count the duration of the notes to see if I'm in rhythm (especially when playing 16ths or when the rhythm is quite complex), but the playing is so fast that I don't have time to count in my head and as a result, I don't know if I'm in rhythm. Is there a secret to this? Or do people just "feel" it? I'd love to know your thoughts

Yes, I used an effect. Here's just a plugged-in guitar with no effects. What I also noticed during the recording is that I hear this sound only on the bridge pickup, there is no such sound on the neck pickup. It's really barely audible (in the second half of the recording), you can hear it in the background, at the moment of hit. Perhaps, of course, I'm making this up, and there are no problems with the sound, and I'd rather work on other ‘unwanted’ sounds while playing instead. bridge: bridge.wav neck: neck.wav

Hello again! I appreciate your feedback. I've been trying out a lot of the tips you gave me and watching how the sound changes depending on what I do. I've made sure that when I hit the string, my picking hand fingers don't touch the string. I also tried moving things around a bit to see what happened. This is what I managed to achieve with high gain. high gain.wav I noticed that even with a lower gain, I still hear this strange "whistling" sound. low gain.wav Even when I play with more gain and try not to touch the strings with my fingers, I might still sometimes accidentally touch them. In the third audio recording, I just hit the open string with downstrokes without gain, making sure that my picking hand fingers don't touch the string. And then I heard that sound again. no gain.wav I read on the internet that it could be the sound of the pick hitting a string that is already vibrating. Could this be the case? Could there be a problem with the strings? Should I replace them with other ones? I don't think the problem could be the amount of gain, given the 3rd example. Besides, I've seen and heard other guitarists play with a lot of gain and they haven't this sound.

In fact, I just found out that this happens not only when I play one note fast, but during the whole guitar playing. But it doesn't happen all the time, it happens periodically. As I understand it, it happens when I touch the string with the pick. But sometimes this sound appears, and sometimes not. I cannot understand what it depends on. sound2.wav

Hello, everyone. I've been playing guitar for about four months and recently got myself an Ibanez GRG121DX-BKF guitar and an audio interface. When I play the same note quickly on any string, I hear a strange “squeaking” noise. Could you tell me if this is a problem with my playing technique or the guitar? How can I get rid of it? I'll attach an audio file for a clearer understanding. Thank you in advance for your help. sound.wav
