Week 1 & 2
deadline: October the 15th Hi Ivan! We're now moving on to weekly assignments as indicated in the new MTP rules. Because I posted this a bit late, I'll combine the first 2 weeks into one. The deadline for these first couple weeks will be on October the 15th. Before the deadline, I'd like you to post two videos (or mp3s)... For the first one, simple improvise a take over the backing track I gave you using the scales you have found in you previous post. Do that as soon as possible as I need it to explain the second video. I hope that's OK for you! To make things easier feel free to post an mp3 instead of a video! :-) -------------------- www.youtube.com/Wallimann

I'll try to record something tomorrow, although I'm not sure I'll have time. Then Tuesday and Wednesday are very busy days for me, but after that I've got 2 weeks vacation
 . So if I won't record anything tomorrow, I'll do it on Thursday.QUOTE P.S. As far as orchestration exercises I'd be happy to check what you wrote. Orchestration however is more about how to place the instruments according to their tonal capacities.. I'm not an expert on that.. Arranging however is something I might be able to help you with. It kind of goes along with the first exercise we worked on (arranging chords over a melody)... Do you have something specific in mind? I was just trying to write some orchestral stuff (just playing around ), and 3 main questions I keep asking are :1)Does something sound good or not? (although this is a problem with not just orchestral music). I have very subjective opinion on everything I'm trying to write, meaning I don't like it almost always  2)How can I build up something by adding more textures? 3)How to achieve certain sound/effects (which I frequently can hear)? I would be happy with any kind of compositional assignment, because I can easily start something new, but I don't have any finished "product" yet . The assignment could give some additional motivation, plus you can guide me through the first question QUOTE P.P.S For technical exercises that sounds good... Are you working on any particular GMC lesson at the moment? That might be a good starting point and a good pick for the REC program? My technical development got stuck lately, and the last lessons I've learned are: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...nvention-vol-i/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/classical-inventions-2/ They are pretty easy for me, although vol. 1 is a little harder because I'm not used to using pinky so much. I'd like to give a try to https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/racer_x_style_lesson/ , or at least the AP parts, as I'm really bad at sweeping. There are just so many lessons here it's hard to choose where to begin As for songs, I'm practicing the string skipping solo from Dream Theater's Erotomania, and I've pretty much nailed it at 85-90% of the original tempo. If I try to play it faster, my right hand tenses up too much and I start to make mistakes in the end. |

Man, I finally got around to listen to your track and it is really good!!!
I find your improvisation here much more organized than it was before. Way to go man. So as we said, the key is to find a common note between both scales and use that note as a tonal center... This lesson may help you a bit here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ter-modulation/ -------------------- www.youtube.com/Wallimann
