Hey Can!!!!
Iowa... Istanbul... Music knows no time zone. Questions. No prob. Here we go!!!!! 1-What do you plan to do in music? Do you play as an hobby or you want to get serious with it? I'd like to think that I am going to get serious with it. But in reality I think it'll be more of a hobby. Work, the wife, daddyhood, other hobbies. I realistically dont have enough hours in the day to look at it as a career thing. 2-What are your weakest points in your guitar playing in your opinion? Speed. Non 4/4 timing. Playing outside of the beat. Triplets. 3-How much time can you spare for playing guitar in a day? For our month I have dedicated an hour a day on 3 weekdays and both weekend days. Minimally. So 5 hours a week. Daily? Maybe none. Maybe an hour. Or more... 4-Are ok with listening to other kinds of music than you actually like? Yep. No prob there. There is something useful in all music. 5-Who is your guitar hero? (I know I asked that already in PM but for the records ) Glenn Tipton from Judas Priest. His solos in "Electric Eye", "Beyond The Realms Of Death", & "Touch Of Evil" are amazing!!!! Youtube links here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVS6-sTZRhk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2i1dinm3UE...t=1&index=8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABZID8n4X60 6-Up the Irons? HELL YEAH!!! 7-Would you like to help me build my own amp? (Just kidding) I couldnt do it without my buddy Dave's help. He's the brains of the outfit. 8-Are you familiar with music theory? Yeah. 9-Can you easily concentrate while working on exercises or your attention easily slips away ? (This is serious as it affects the overall efficiency) Yes and No. If I can see it getting put to use then the exercises can be concentrated on. If it seems like exercises for exercise sake then yeah, its tough. 10-Do you have a suggestion about the way you'll learn better? Hmmm.... Great question. Seeing things applied. Hearing examples. Hearing music. Not exercises. I understand that exercises are needed and useful. But hearing examples of what we are working towards always helps. -------------------- My Gear

Hey Can!!!! Iowa... Istanbul... Music knows no time zone. I totally agree with you. Lets Rock! QUOTE 1-What do you plan to do in music? Do you play as an hobby or you want to get serious with it? I'd like to think that I am going to get serious with it. But in reality I think it'll be more of a hobby. Work, the wife, daddyhood, other hobbies. I realistically dont have enough hours in the day to look at it as a career thing. Realism is good, and its really great that you can find time amongs you priorities... Also who knows, maybe you can actually get serious with it. QUOTE 2-What are your weakest points in your guitar playing in your opinion? Speed. Non 4/4 timing. Playing outside of the beat. Triplets. Non 4/4 timing, triplets and playing outside of the beat are just a matter of feeling and I believe this can be accomplished rather easy. Speed, is another matter, because it requires hard work, devotion and lots of boring exercices QUOTE 3-How much time can you spare for playing guitar in a day? For our month I have dedicated an hour a day on 3 weekdays and both weekend days. Minimally. So 5 hours a week. Daily? Maybe none. Maybe an hour. Or more... I believe a hour for five to six days of week will be adequate. I am sure as we are progressing with some enjoyable exercises you'll be amazed how you exceed the initially planned worktime QUOTE 4-Are ok with listening to other kinds of music than you actually like? Yep. No prob there. There is something useful in all music. That is great, as you said there is use on anykind of music... QUOTE 5-Who is your guitar hero? (I know I asked that already in PM but for the records ) Glenn Tipton from Judas Priest. His solos in "Electric Eye", "Beyond The Realms Of Death", & "Touch Of Evil" are amazing!!!! Youtube links here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVS6-sTZRhk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2i1dinm3UE...t=1&index=8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABZID8n4X60 I am listening to mentioned solos rightaway... QUOTE 6-Up the Irons? HELL YEAH!!! Hehhehehe, Iron Maiden is the first metal music I ever heard in my life. That is great we both love the same band QUOTE 7-Would you like to help me build my own amp? (Just kidding) I couldnt do it without my buddy Dave's help. He's the brains of the outfit. Well you have done a great job nevertheless QUOTE 8-Are you familiar with music theory? Yeah. That is great, at least you have a basis on this, that will be easier for both of us. QUOTE 9-Can you easily concentrate while working on exercises or your attention easily slips away ? (This is serious as it affects the overall efficiency) Yes and No. If I can see it getting put to use then the exercises can be concentrated on. If it seems like exercises for exercise sake then yeah, its tough. 10-Do you have a suggestion about the way you'll learn better? Hmmm.... Great question. Seeing things applied. Hearing examples. Hearing music. Not exercises. I understand that exercises are needed and useful. But hearing examples of what we are working towards always helps. Man, I'll try to do my best to show you some solo based exercises which dont look like exercises but some songs. I'll do some videos, and refer to some great videos here at GMC. I am sorry to say that at some points we'll have to focus on some boring exercises because there is no other way. But I'll try to avoid these kind of exercises whenever its possible. Right now we are waiting for a syllabus for our lesson schedule, but we may make some preparations, today, when you get home, try to work on this solo, its a very easy one. The solo I am talking about is Metallica-Sanitorium's entry solo[0:48-1:12] and the interlude solo [2:10-2:37], just listen to it, try to see how it is played, and try to play it better than Kirk Hammet played. You will see that try to play better suggestion is not a very difficult one, as he played rather feelingless such a good solo. Try to concentrate on your vibratos and bends. Create vibratos, dont be afraid to rearrange the solo. I am sure this wont push you very hard. Metallica Sanitorium Video on Youtube If you have time make a video of it if not just record the mp3. You'll find the solo tabs here (actually whole songs tabs) Metallica-Sanitorium Tabs Here is the guitar pro file, positions on it are different than the previous one, you can play it wherever you like, but try to make it sound beautiful and clean. This is all I ask from you. You can use gp file to provide you with a back track. Good luck man Can This post has been edited by enforcer: Jan 8 2009, 02:02 PM -------------------- incoming spoiler read it at your own risk!

After listening to the solo: There are a couple of parts in the 2nd solo that are faster than I am comfortable with. You'll see those on the video.
On a side note, these are the kinds of solos I absolutely love. QUOTE I am sorry to say that at some points we'll have to focus on some boring exercises because there is no other way. Not a problem. I know its necessary. I'll do them. QUOTE Speed, is another matter, because it requires hard work, devotion and lots of boring exercices Yep. I am very aware of this. Speed isnt an important part of it to me. I know its something that will build eventually as I push myself after haveing a better handle on the rest of it. Naturally being better all around will allow me to get faster with time.Our syllabus is up: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=23238 -------------------- My Gear

Yes, I saw the syllabus now, ok np man, just keep on working on solo, I'll prepare something
Ok, I checked the syllabus out man, well first weeks example is very easy, Beginner Strumming and Arpeggios I watched your MTP Beginner application movie, and after seeing how you played intro riff of Burning Times, I am sure this wont be a problem for you Maybe up strokes and upwards played arpeggios may be confusing in a first glance, but I am sure you can do it. Maybe tonight if it isnt overwhelming? Muris' exercices are generally good structured and to the point. Low bpm backings will help you to memmorize the exercise and then you can gradually increase the speed to the point you play really clean and fast. Try to take a video of it so that I can make some critics Cheers Can -------------------- incoming spoiler read it at your own risk!
