IS THAT YOUR MAMA?
Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.
I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:
* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!
* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

All the gallop part is not tight enough?

Alright! How about this one?
 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Disturbed-Style-Riffing/ Focus on tightness and clean playing for this one - the tighter you are, the better it will sound

Hey mate,
About the first recording: You have great timing and you play very clean! That's an EXCELLENT plus  Now, I would focus a bit on smoothening the vibrato as it seems a bit off and rushed at points and maybe checking the guitar's tuning - please make sure to check it every time before recording, ok?Also, your left hand movements seem rather large - please focus on moving less, as this will definitely decrease the potential tension which would appear at high speeds. The second recording: Your picking technique seems very relaxed and in good timing, as well as with good dynamics - picking evenly, that is I would also focus on decreasing the movements as in the previous case!Mate, thank you very much for these recordings - I think it's by far, the best way to work, because we can spot potential issues befire they become too complicated to fix Keep rocking!QUOTE (Kalidia @ Aug 14 2014, 06:42 PM)  Hey Cosmin, These are 2 takes at lower tempo, let me know what need to be improved! thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnkhHcCOLxk...eature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtyMHjsdJrQ...eature=youtu.be Original Lessons: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ht-hand-basic1/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginner-Etude/ |

Thank you for the recordings! Well, after watching the videos, here are my conclusions: - the Beginner Etude - you are playing it well, but you have timing issues, in respect to note length, when it comes to phrases involving open strings and pull offs - such as the ones around 0:08-0:09 Please focus on those to make the sound even and then implement them back into the context, as this is the only issue with this lesson at full tempo, as I see it - the Alternate picking workout Your AP technique is very good, but your vibrato needs a bit of work, as it's a bit too weak right now. Please make it wider and more accentuated, without rushing it, of course Your tone could have a little, but just a little bit more gain and brightness. What are you using to record for the tone?You are faring well, my friend - all the above are details, which need to be sorted out, in order to have takes that strive towards perfection. Do we have a deal? |

Thank you Cosmin! The most difficult thing it's timing when the bpm goes up
What do you think of learning some of these lessons? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...-picking-chops/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/modal_...tring_patterns/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Land-Of-Legato/ i'm not planning to reach full speed in the alternate picking lessons but i will be happy with learning them at low speed.. |
