Hope I am in time to apply as a beginner on the MTP.
As the videos show I really am a virtual complete beginner and so any help, guidance and support I recieve will be greatly appreciated. These are the first ever videos I have made (I bought the cam yesterday especially for this) and so the quality isn't the best. I also quickly realised how difficult it is to play as well as you would hope whilst being aware that it is being filmed. Also its painful to see every little fault laid bare! MTP_SOW_Jan_o9.wmv ( 16.17MB ) Number of downloads: 217 MTP_AN_Jan09.wmv ( 42.15MB ) Number of downloads: 325 cage_shape.wmv ( 7.04MB ) Number of downloads: 212 It has taken me the past three months or so to realise that if I learn the basics such as cage patterns and some thory then playing becomes easier. I would hope that a mentor would be able to keep me on track with this. If accepted I hope to become a much better guitarist able to hold together a half decent solo. I am keen to try out different techniques and styles and hope to develop a better understanding of theory. On thing in particular I would like to improve is my phrasing. What can I offer in return. Well commitment and enthusiasm for sure and a determination to improve. Who knows in a couple of years I may be able to act as a mentor to beginners too. I enjoy all types of music but really I am a rocker at heart. 1970s blues based rock is where my heart lies so I admire guitarists like Kossoff, Blackmore, Clapton, Townsend, Gilmore, Hendrix and of course Keef!! How I wish I could play like them! Cheers! This post has been edited by Boson: Jan 5 2009, 08:22 AM -------------------- "Better to live one day as a tiger than a thousand years as a sheep"

Can't wait! If selected, will we have any say in our mentor? Or will it be decided for us? I was wondering the same thing Praetorian. Maybe Smells and enlighten us. |
