Hi Marcelo, I hope you don't mind me jumping in and answering...
I notice that you're also a fan of heavy metal style guitar playing. That's my main area of interest so I'd like to offer my help to you if you're interested ? I would say that some basic foundations needed for soloing in this style of music is good alternate picking and legato technique.. with things like sweeping and tapping being more of a personal preference to explore. The picking and fretting hand dexterity will be the building blocks for everything else. If you have a look at the following exercises and could record a version of them, it would help me gauge your level of picking ability and the synchronisation between your picking and fretting hand. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0&start=0 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=43060 As well as those licks, I have a series dedicated to legato in my lessons list, so perhaps choose one of those and see how you get on ? |

I was going to mention that many of the instructors here are willing to go above-and-beyond just lessons and forum posts....and they will actually help with "mentoring".
It's something I've been wanting to ask/look into as well. For me, I have fairly specific goals, so I want to start working with the right instructor. Although I have a feeling that most of the instructors will be GREAT, and each will come up with his own unique way to help me improve. Mostly, I believe that I need help in developing a better, and more specific practice routine. I also need help in creating a routine that will work on tuning up my current "weak spots" (I know you hate that term Alex Feather!!) so that I'll be a more well rounded player. Best of luck to you!! -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |
