Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Mar 9 2012, 05:04 PM

Hi Bryze26!! Welcome to your thread for the http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=43110&st=40&start=40!

Could you please tell me a bit about you, your musical tastes, influences, strengths and weaknesses? I would need some videos of you playing rhythm and solo guitar, so please post your best material here. If you have some music or ideas of your own, also post them here. Also let me know how you think that I can help you and what are your expectations for our job. You can check the other Army's thread to discover the different modalities of this project.

The principles of our Army are:

+ Improve your technique
+ Make music and solos
+ Have fun
+ Destroy the enemy (hahaha not realy just kidding... )

Hi Gab, I'm Brian from Philippines.Started playing guitar at age 14 now I'm 28.Type of music i play are rock,metal and been messin with blues before.Biggest influence for me is Joe Satriani but can play couple of his songs(the easy ones). I consider myself as an intermediate player.Before i have a band playing just cover songs but when work has dealt with me,i become a bedroom guitarist.I want to improve my technique and improvisational skill(lead,rhythm) in rock and metal music.I want to enjoy practicing my goals because sometimes i get bored and lose my morale.I'm lost what to practice to achieve these goals and i think im in a certain level as a guitar player but i cant move on to the next step.Hope joining your army will take me to the peek i want to be. No videos or soundtrack of me playing uploaded as of now but its in progress.Will post ASAP

Hi friend! Thanks for the description and for joining the army!

Here we will work on lessons that I'll assign you (we can discuss the selection) and after some days of work you will be posting at the REC program. Also we will work on collaborations. Do you know what a collab is?

What lesson are you working on?

Hi Gab, I'm currently working on Metal Patterns no.1 lesson by Lian Gerbino and will post on REC after i speed things up.Any other suggested lesson for me to work on?

I'll check the Slash's Collab thread for me to have an idea with...

That's a great choice mate! It's a good lesson for alternate picking technique. Concentrate on timing and on keeping both hands synchronized. Also you have to mute the strings that you are not playing to get a clean sound. I'll be waiting for the video! Please post it here!
