StrenghtsI really want to learn this instrument, good will!
I consider myself a good rythm player
I got a lot of time, at least for now.
Weaknesses1. Right now, I think my technique needs to become alot better
2. Improvising. I know too few licks and scale patterns properly.
3. Ear training.
GoalsBe able to play blazingly fast …
… so that I won’t be limited when composing, improvising, playing covers, etc
Be able to compose, everything from heavy metal riffs to jazz backing and 12-bar blues.
Be able to improvise over anything (see list above!)
TheoryI know minor/major pentatonic, one 3nps major pattern.
Know the theory behind modes, chords, harmonies.
I know the theory behind all scales, but I have never learned the patterns.
Favorite songsMetallica – Master of Puppets
Metallica – Creeping Death
Metallica – One
Basically everything from Metallica up to (including) the Black Album and Death Magnetic.
Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb
Gary Moore – The Loner
Gary Moore – Still Got the Blues
Steve Vai – For the Love of God
Joe Satriani – Always With Me, Always With You
I can play 4 notes pr beat at 117 - 120 bpm, I know the basics of sweeping, really want to get a system on my practicing, because most of the time I just play songs I already know. Trying to learn Canon Rock atm, and I have begun listening to classical music.
I want the MTP program to make me better at practicing, with giving me a plan, a schedule. i am looking forward to be critizised on my playing, as the only people who watch me play don't know that much about guitar playing (drummer ). - Sondre
