Hi Mirko!
How was your new year's? Let's get started with January's program! These are the three assignments for this month: * First week: Due January 10th - Post rhythm exercise no.1. We are still gonna drill the 2/4 time signature, this time is going to be a little more demanding. Make sure to include the accents as we saw on previous 2/4 exercises. - Post riff assignment. This is the main riff for the song "Mr. Brownstone" by Guns and Roses. It's a great exercise and it's got some interesting mixture of techniques in it. Mr. Brownstone the riff appears at 3:17 as in the GP file. - Post speed exercise no.1. Start from a comfortable speed. All alternate picking starting on a down stroke. This is a must-know type of pattern to develop speed. Go up to the fastest and cleanest speed possible and post it. week_1___Rhythm_exercise_no.1.gp5 ( 2.12K ) Number of downloads: 192 week_1___Riff_assignment_No.1.gp5 ( 17.47K ) Number of downloads: 161 week_1___Speed_assigment_No.1.gp5 ( 2.06K ) Number of downloads: 186 * Second week: Due January 17th - Post rhythm exercise no.2. For this exercise start at 60bpm. And work your way up. The goal is 160, but post your fastest possible take at the time. Make sure to include the accents as we saw on previous 2/4 exercises. - Post solo assignment no.1. We'll keep on working on the bendings. This time let's do the first solo for "November Rain" by Slash. Play the "guitar solo" part on the GP file attached. November Rain backing track The solo part appears at 3:48. - Post speed exercise no.2. This exercise has some different patterns in it and it's not square. Do it with alternate picking but don't be restricted to it if you need to use a couple of hammer-ons or pull-offs. week_2___Rhythm_exercise_no.2.gp5 ( 2.01K ) Number of downloads: 172 week_2___Solo_assignment_no.1.gp5 ( 31.56K ) Number of downloads: 156 week_2___Speed_assigment_no.2.gp5 ( 1.86K ) Number of downloads: 170 * Third week: Due January 24th - Post Rhythm exercise no.3. Make sure to include the accents as we saw on previous 2/4 exercises. - Post solo assignment no.2. This is a really fun excerpt from "Mr. Browstone" solo. Challenging but I think it will really help on your bending technique. - Post speed exercise no.3. The idea here is to break the regular up and down patterns and start combining different runs "arbitrarily". A chromatic exercise. Start on a comfortable tempo and work your way up to the fastest and cleanest possible. week_3___Rhythm_exercise_no.3.gp5 ( 2.13K ) Number of downloads: 179 week_3___Speed_assigment_no.3.gp5 ( 2.64K ) Number of downloads: 181 week_3__Solo_assignment_No.2.gp5 ( 17.47K ) Number of downloads: 146 * Let me know of the REC lesson you want to submit for this month. The REC take would have to be posted on the 29th on january. Let me know iif you have any comments and questions!

???????? never heared about that... there is a button to press... tomorrow i will do a vieo to show you the new speed assignment, im not sure if im playing it right, then i show you the funktion on my laptop, i think thats much easier then explain it in english! is it possible, that my tuner tunes wrong? because i really tuned the guitar before the video and after you wrote that i tuned it again and there wasnt much to do, because the guitar was almost in tune and i have played a time after making the video. or maybe it only sounds out of tune because i bend the strings sometimes a little bit without purpose... That can be caused by old strings, or the octave intonation adjustment in your guitar. The only way to see if the octave intonation adjustment in your guitar is right is with new strings. But that sort of stuff is better checked by someone with experience, imo. You could post something in the GMC forums about it, I'm sure there's lots of people who know about that problem in here. I've been there. -------------------- Visit my:
