Ulrik’s Road To Perfection, for Gab's Army |
HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hi Ulrik! Welcome to your thread for the Gab's Army Mentoring Project!
Please post here your goals and expectations regarding this project as well as some links of you playing solo and rhythm guitar. I have seen and graded your REC takes but It will be easier for me to have some videos here. This project is to help you so I will be giving you assignments and also we will join Collabs. You can use this thread to ask me everything you need and to work on whatever you think I can help you. The principles of our Army are: + Improve your technique + Make music and solos + Have fun + Destroy the enemy (hahaha not realy just kidding...  )Let's start working!

That sounds great! It's important to keep at least those 30 minutes every day. Let's see what happens with the harmonics with Lian's lesson and basing on that we can then plan working on something to master this technique in the lower strings (like Zakk Wylde).
Could you please tell me 5 of your favourite albums? -------------------- My lessons

First warm up thing sound like this right now at 120 bpm
I can hear it's not perfect especially the 2 round. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OpMG3hC34Y I know I have home work, but I just did this, and it didn't take that long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OKjDlwRyrY https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...x-style-lesson/ What do you think? I'll give you 5 songs here of some favorite bands: Dimmu Borgir https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeITMxApxKw COF https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSHn4IHarfc Mercenary (I would love to play the solo of this as fast as it is supposed to) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvUHI8GmZiQ Ironmaiden (This I can play, but maybe my technique is not that good, I know it isn't) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmAtwvZYTe8 Megadeth (This I can play, except the last guitar bits, the are too fast) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp5VN8wp__I But I also like Zakk, Jimi, Vai, it depends on mood. I listened a lot to the American rock band "Live". Audioslave, Rammstein, Staind, System of a down, even Nickelback  ...and Dio, and Aerosmith....And lately a lot of power metal like Dragon force, Rhapsody of Fire, Royal hunt....

Hi Ulrik! It's great to see you working hard!!  The warming up exercises sounds good, even the timing is just perfect! Are you using Alternate Picking or Sweep Picking? Keep on playing it and now concentrate on getting the same volume for each note. The Hendrix tune sound also good. You have to make the chord changes sound smoother now. Maybe you could decrease a bit the tempo and try to make it sound groovier and smoother. Also I would love to hear it with less drive, that Hendrix's tone created with clean Marshall channel with maybe a boos of Tube Screamer is perfect for this type of stuff. Also thanks for the music links. This makes me know you a bit more... we will do something with some of those songs. -------------------- My lessons

This warm up can use some more practice.
I tried sweep at 135 bpm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plDZVprszHY My hands/fingers get tired after a couple of rounds Alternate at 120 bpm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M49Za2mhoJQ I hit wrong strings, and the notes sound unequal. Strangely I can only start with an upstroke. If I start with a downstroke, then when I get back to the D-string 1st. or 2nd. time, I have somehow done 2 up- or downstrokes in a row so when I begin with the D-string again I'll start with upstroking. I don't know why. I actually played that lesson by Lian earlier (a long time ago), so I already know it. I'll try and manage to record it very soon. The other small excercises I have only tried playing briefly. -------------------- |

The other small excercises I have only tried playing briefly. Hi Ulrik! Great to see you working! The sweep picking version sound better but I think that you should try to play stronger each note (and at the same volume). I think that you could work on a slower tempo but concentrating on that. The alternate picking need more work, but this is because it is a bit more difficult. Starting with an upstroke makes it easier because it allows you cross string with "inside picking" that means that you play up in one string and then down in the adjacent higher string. I think that you should keep on working on this one and start working on the other warming up exercises. Keep on working hard! -------------------- My lessons
