Neoclassical three-level-lesson: Advanced
Europe: Neoclassical three-level-lesson: Advanced I am happy to present this last part of Marcus Lavendell's lesson suite. You might notice how the solo now is heavily spiced up with runs - compare it to the first lesson! When you have had the time to practice this lesson - be sure to give us some feedback so we know what you think about this lesson format! Kris |

This new concept is great!!!
I encourage you to keep it for lessons where it's possible. Gives everyone something to work with. A complaint though - the detuning in these specific videos, normal tuning would be better for anyone playing along. Even worse is it that the backing tracks are detuned. That renders them useless for plenty of ppl here. There are many ppl with only one guitar and a floyd rose who won't go through the effort to tune down. I'm sitting with my Ibanez with FR while two of my other guitars both lack the thin E string and one refuse to intonate so I'm pretty much in that situation. -------------------- My bands homepage

That renders them useless for plenty of ppl here. Most inconsiderate - it took me nearly 3 minutes to reprogram my Variax for Eb tuning ... of course I have it now and can switch between E and Eb in a second Just kidding - I am really loving this 3 lesson concept - it means that a lesson can work for anyone regardless of level, and there are challenges ahead when it is mastered, a really cool idea. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

This was a very good idea definitely! But also it won't be possible in all lessons.
And we should definitely make lessons in Standard tuning only I was pissed off when i saw that the lesson is in Eb tuning. I still managed to play by playing everything i fret lower but hey - it's not gonna work that way always. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

I know i can just tune my other guitar to Drop D, or whatever, but still it would be hassle always having to change guitars to play that one certain song!! Drop D is a different story, that has to be detuned to not lose it's point. But not Eb. I belive I know the reson for playing in Eb though... some gut named Yngwie does it -------------------- My bands homepage

That's great Lavendell! Can't wait for the next lesson
Kris, would it be possible to have the _backing tracks_ run on repeat? Like for this lesson it's all about repeating over and over until it sticks and now when I play the 100 bpm when it's finished the 120 bpm plays and then it stops. I'd like to set the 100 bpm to repeat forever. -------------------- My bands homepage

Yeah Marcus it's ok - i understand you! You play all that Yngwie stuff and he probably uses Eb tuning so you stick to it but most of guys have standard tuning.
In my opinion there is totally no point at all tuning down 1 half step I mean, what does that half step change? It's ok if you tune down 2 whole steps but 1 half step ??? That's why i am getting a 7-string. I want that low tuning and bigger runs and no tuning changes. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Thats why i want a 7 string as well. I could have the playability of my Ibanez with the detuned riffage of my Washburn/

You tune down all strings! It's only the Drop D tuning that you have to tune only 6th string.

Tuning down only a half step doesn't change the sounding of a solo at all. It would change it if it was tuned down an octave. But a half step is no change especially for a shred solo like that!

Just guessing here but Yngvie tune down and play with thing strings (.008?), perhaps both does their part for adding a little bit of speed.
EDIT: And maybe helps killer vibrato a bit too This post has been edited by MickeM: Jun 17 2007, 09:37 PM -------------------- My bands homepage

I am not planning on using 7-string for lessons at all. Maybe one or two lessons for those here who have 7-strings but i don't think there are enough of those so the lessons won't be popular.
