Ok David!
I have finished recording my lick in three differen positions: Assignment_3.wmv ( 1.32MB ) Number of downloads: 174 In the third position I used the same lick as the first one, just 12 frets higher up the neck... is this ok, or should I record another position? And what did you mean in the ending here? : First, just upload one lick here. You can either post a video, or simply a tab... Once you have that, post 3 more licks... Cheers! -------------------- "Fake it ´til you make it" |

Yeah, bending can be very painful at first!
Plus bending in different positions can be quite a challenge! -------------------- www.youtube.com/Wallimann

Hehe yeah...
But currently I'm working on a lot of other things in guitar too... and as I told you I have moved on to some lvl 7 lessons, and to "climax in a solo" by Emir. And I would like if you maybe could tell me how my playing is going so far... I have only recorded the fast part (which is the one I'm having a struggle with). It's a very rough take, but still.... Any guidelines would be great! Fast_part__far_from_perfect_.wav ( 4.36MB ) Number of downloads: 160 (Edit: hmm... I guess my take was rougher than I thought... I made the take two days ago... ) And I also saw your new lesson today "Economy Picking Mechanics" (really well done by the way !), and I think it would be great if we maybe could use this lesson for the REC later on, as well as with "climax in a solo"... Cheers! PS. Especially on your tone in your video I could need some help... I guess you use GR4, so maybe you could help me get a recording as close to you as possible ... And I'm by the way finished with recording my first lick... This post has been edited by arctic1234: Oct 10 2009, 05:14 PM -------------------- "Fake it ´til you make it" |

Sorry to bother hehe, just got to get this of my chest
I tried out to just relax and slow things down a bit, and then to increase the speed later on the fast part of "climax in a solo". After just about 15-20 minutes the changes was HUGE! ... At least in my eyes! Fast_part..._much_better.wav ( 4.76MB ) Number of downloads: 203 I also found out why I where so surprised by the last take... it's because when I play I play through my amp, which have some sort of arrangement so the tone shall sound good, you know... when practicing and stuff ... My point is that the tone will be a lot different if I where to make a proper recording, not like this. Also I didn't change the sound anything after the recording, so you see my surprise Sadly I did not make any changes to this one either, but still this clip sounded WAY much better than the last one:) Anyway hehe, sorry for bothering, but thanks anyway! Cheers! Ps. This take sounded way better a few minutes ago... This post has been edited by arctic1234: Oct 10 2009, 11:15 PM -------------------- "Fake it ´til you make it" |

Thanks for the great comment!
Here are my assignment upload: Lick1.wmv ( 1.87MB ) Number of downloads: 148 Lick_2.wmv ( 809.29K ) Number of downloads: 163 Lick3.wmv ( 1.24MB ) Number of downloads: 161 Some of the videos are sadly lagging (still...), but I don't have the time to record anything more today... also one of the takes where lagging to much (the music part), so I had to cut that too You... see I have literately been doing homework and practicing for tests from the moment I am entering my home and up til around 11 -12 pm. At the moment I am practicing a big test in geography and one presentation in English... for tomorrow! And we got about three tests each week, also I'm are currently working on two projects (and starts one more on Monday), and if that wasn't enough the teachers thought it would be funny if we would had to read a book on about 500 p in two weeks... and then do a project on that one too... Just had to say, hehe , I'm doing as much as I can, but don't really get the time... that's why the poor video editing... Anyway... back to homework Cheers! PS. There may be some wrong in the video editing... don't really have checked a 100%, but I think everything is about right... -------------------- "Fake it ´til you make it" |

Oh man, you don't need to apologize about being so busy. I completely understand!
School and other life activities take a lot of time, I know! The way I see this MTP program is only to help you a bit more in depth than I would be able to without this. The deadlines are set just because we need a guideline, but it's not a matter of passing an MTP test or anything... You can just take all this info and take it as it is and always come back to it later. :-) About your assignment now. You did good! Only problem is on the last video, when you are playing two notes at the same time it doesn't quiet match in th other positions. However this is pretty good! It kind of forces you to think differently about your fretboard. Good job! Are you ready for the next step? Week 3 deadline: October 22 This week we'll add a few licks to our musical vocabulary. The lesson we'll study is very bluesy! Here it is. For this assignment, I'd like you to pick at least 4 licks from this lesson and use them in rhythm over the following backing track... Basically, learn the licks and improvise using them... Let me know if you have any trouble! short_blues_in_G.mp3 ( 841.94K ) Number of downloads: 187 -------------------- www.youtube.com/Wallimann

Hello again!
This is really hard times I got to tell you! This is really the first time I have had the time to pull out my guitar since the last time I wrote here... (besides from my lesson with a teacher yesterday)... well, I really don't have the time though... Today everything I have managed to do is studying for another test (tomorrow), making dinner and doing my homework... Then in about 30 min. learning your lesson and try to record a descent take.... It's way to much work at school! I have also started taking singing and piano-lessons, but cant find the time to practice this either... Anyway... : (sadly, this is only a audio file, had no time to make a video...) assignment_5.wav ( 9.7MB ) Number of downloads: 143 Anyway, enough about the complaining... I'm actually doing well at school (hehe ), and in this weekend I will have the time to do some playing (maybe)... I mean, I still will have a huge test on Monday, and I still got 250 pages to read in my book (again to Monday), but still it's less than usual... Cheers! Ps. I realized I just used about 10 minutes just to write this post! Time is really a stupid thing when you don't get enough of it! ... and I'm still writing! (hehe )... got to go! -------------------- "Fake it ´til you make it" |
