Hi Nimrandir! Welcome to your personal Gab's Army thread!
We have been discussed the direction of our work via PM and we agreed that we will combine technical lessons with collabs participation and composition. I would like to know your musical tastes here and also to see some videos of you playing solo and rhythm guitar. Also post any idea that you have created... maybe a song's part, a riff, a solo, a lick, something that could be our starting point. The principles of our Army are: + Improve your technique + Make music and solos + Have fun + Destroy the enemy (hahaha not realy just kidding... ) Here we go mate! -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Thanks for this cool description about you. You already have a really good technique so the main goal for us will be set weekly jobs to fight with one of the main enemies of musicians.. "The laziness". We will be doing REC takes every week, join 1 or 2 collabs every month.
Do you think that this could help? I checked that thread with Cosmin and you both are doing a great job with your original music. Do you want some help with any song in process? or maybe with the re-arranging project? I would like to know what you expect from our job together. -------------------- My lessons

Cool mate! Let's start!
Regarding this week's lesson, I think that the one by Dream Theater that you posted could be our monthly goal, so please divide it in 4 and learn one of those parts every week. You should have learnt the whole tune in one month. Besides that we will choose one lesson for this week to be worked and posted at the REC. I was thinking on this lesson that combines power metal with neoclassical style. It's also a really cool etude for the right hand. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...soloing-lesson/ Do you think that you can learnt and record this one in one week? And about that NES tune.. I love it. I can imagine that same ideas played with power metal drums, some strings arrangements and an electric guitar. It's a good tune to start because it sounds like an 8 bit neoclassical song. Let's start working... the introduction could sound like Rhapsody of fire. When the main melody starts, you can write the same drum groove that is played in the original tune as well as the bass lines. My suggestion is to start with the intro and one round of the main melody and then we can think on adding some original sections or variations. The first thing that I would do, as this is your first arrangement, is to find songs that could inspire you with the arrangement. What about some Rhapsody songs for the intro and maybe Dragonforce for the main melody? -------------------- My lessons

I've tried it now and can play all the individual parts at 120bpm straight away, so I probably can learn it at full speed in a week . Although the problem is that the next week is an exam week in my University, so I have limited time for playing guitar. But I will try . And about that NES tune.. I love it.

What about some Rhapsody songs for the intro and maybe Dragonforce for the main melody? I actually never heard Rhapsody of fire *shame* . So I don't really know what kind of intro you have in mind . But I'll check them out. My idea is to have a soft orchestral introduction, and then have a kind of explosion, introduce distorted rhythm guitar and likes.. I will try to find an example of what I mean . |

Ok, let's go for that lesson for this week. Work it in your free time and post it here as soon as you have it mastered at tempo. Regarding Rhapsody's music, I recommend you to check their first 3 albums. In those years they were called just "Rhapsody". I have one song in mind but I can't find it now.. I will post it here as soon as I remember the name of it. -------------------- My lessons
