When Jared Dines isn’t busy jamming with Post Malone, the YouTube electric guitar star has been sharpening his guitar skills at home… with a Positive Grid Spark “smart” practice amp.
With that in mind, Dines put together a new video outlining his 10 tips for every guitar player. Some of these, including playing along to backing tracks and your favorite songs, using headphones and “getting a cool practice amp that jams with you,” are – wouldn’t you know it? – right up the Spark’s alley.
Beyond that, Dines recommends exploring new genres and bands (even ones with parrots for vocalists) and – please! – using a metronome.
