April Mtp Thread - Joruus Options

[Joruus]

I posted it to the rec

Im working on the last take aswell, sorry it takes a while:/
Hope to get it recorded tomorrow, else i will wednesday cause i have a day off of work then

[Joruus]

Well i recorded the ramones lesson, but its really not great..
Specially the palmmute part i keep getting confused and everything.
I used the 130bpm backingtrack for this one

[Adrian Figallo]

benajmin! how can u say is not great?!, you improved a lot that timing, maybe you mean it isn't perfect yet, but it's a pretty fast tempo to keep, i feel like you almost got the palm mute right!!

i will give you your next assignment ASAP!

by the way your rec take is almost flawless man! congrats on that one


here is the summary of april's MTP:

this month was very productive, you really started to grow as a guitar player.




the first take, you had serious problems with the rhythmic of the song, we had to work on that!





you second take is already sounding way more confident, good job!






the third take, very good man, starting to sound in time and good.








the speed almost killed you, but at the end it came up very good, is not easy to play like johnny



the rec take:




overall very nice job, you did passed this one!

Thanks alot
I thought the middle part didnt sound so good, but i guess it just needs more practice to sound perfect at that tempo

Can't wait to see the rec post being moved back to the normal board now


Is it possible for you to make a subforum in your own board for mtp?
Like its in Bogdans forum (look at the top): link
That would probly make it easyer to check the mtp posts, but maybe only Kris/admins can make a subforum like that.. i dont know

[Adrian Figallo]

Hey benjamin, i can't make a subforum now, but for next round everything should be in order .
Now i leave with the first assignment of the month, you really improve a lot in this time together, so let's finish the last month with some new approaches to keep growing your technique:

how's your solos playing?, i wanna know!
next task, play all this lesson:

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Guns-N...-Dont-Cry-solo/

it is a very classic and amazing solo, but before you start, let me know if you feel like it is too much for you, i personally think you can do it

[Joruus]

Awesome
I was looking at that new lesson earlyer this week, id sure love to give it a try.
One thing in it will surely give me trouble though, those notes on other strings while bending, it sounds horrible when i try that, probably partly cause of my floating bridge..
Also it normally takes me a long time to learn all those parts but ill do my best to hurry it up


I'm really happy with how much i learned from you in these 2 months, feels like i learned more then in the almost 2 years before this

how is coming man ?

[Joruus]

how is coming man ?

Im about half way learning it (parts 1,2 and 3) ill make a recording of that tomorrow, to see if thats going alright.

[Adrian Figallo]

cool! i know this is prob a hard one

[Joruus]

Just made my recording of the first 3 parts
I can't keep up with full speed yet (think im close to it though) so i can't really try on the backingtrack, there is only a full speed one.

[Adrian Figallo]

you got some timing issues here benjaming, it is a pretty "groovy" solo to play really, maybe you can practice this the whole month and keep going with more tasks?, today is 17 and you need to make 3 more tasks before your end of the month rec take

[Joruus]

Yeah that sounds good, ill keep practicing this one, while doing other assignments
I think it ll be better when i can practice playing it over the main video to get the timing.

[Adrian Figallo]

great man! that's the spirit!!
we are going to return to the groove for this next task, not sure if you like the police, but this will help you developing your tempo ear, and is always great to play some regaee stuff

from 0:00 to 1.:02, have fun!!

edit: also, i have posted a song of my band on the chill out forum, would like to know what u think!

Hi Adrian!

This one was alot more fun to play then i thought it would be
Hope im doing ok on it.

[Adrian Figallo]

very nice!! i see that you worked out a very nice tone for this one, very cool!
you got a little bit of timing issues, but not too dramatic ones, keep practicing this lesson for some more time if you wish, it is very very groovy and it can help to deliver a good timing!

maybe this could be your rec take, you are almost there!

new task!, and this is gift from me to you, not sure if you like blues, but you have to get there eventually!, here's the first step:

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Blues-Chords-In-E/

you have 3-4 days only!, almost the end of the month!

from 0:00 to 0:33!

[Joruus]

I had to learn all these strange chords, so i can't change fast between them very well yet..
So here is best i can do sofar:

[Adrian Figallo]

very nice man!!, you can't image how useful are those chords on songwritting, when something is sounding too pop or nice, just add those blues chords, and you get rock n roll!

try one more take, you are getting there, also check the B chord, you are playing it wrong

[Joruus]

Oops i did know the b-sting should be open at the B-chord.. just messed up with switching and didnt notice

And they do seem to be real cool chords indeed starting to get used to playing them now.

So here is a new take

[Adrian Figallo]

VERY VERY VERY VERY NICE MAN!
i see you are playing with more confidence now!, very proud here .

now, we need one more task, and the rec take, maybe the rec can be the police song?, your call dude!
for this last month's take, and sadly our last session together for this mtp period, will be (and hope you like the chili peppers):

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/red_ho...alifornication/

from 0:00 to 0:37!

[Adrian Figallo]

how is it coming buddy?
