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.

I wanted to ask if you can show me anything you have recorded in this rhythmical direction
 It doesn't have to be djent but it should have rhythm elements  Let's rock! Cosmin [/quote] This is a collection of riffs that I've recording to show you how I currently riff. The last riff is a Djent breakdown (that's what I inteded it to be) and the rest is mostly melodic, Idk if this is good enough, but here it is, it's in Drop A#... But before we do anything else, can you help me set up the perfect Djent tone. Here's a list of my current gear until I get the Line 6 POD HD Pro..i know there's Djent presets around for them...but here's my gear. Esp Ltd m-100FM Zoom G1 Randall Rx120rh Amp head Randall Rx412 cab *I hope this help

Good morning mate
Well, I don't know your gear unfortunately, but what I can tell you is that the tone which I hear now is pretty ok. One thing I like to do, is listen to a recorded tone which I like and try to emulate it with the gear I have. I am the analogue dude, so too many parameters are a nuisance to me  Once you get that POD, maybe you can use these: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=41250 They are special POD tones, built by my band mate in Aria, perfectly suitable for djenty/ drop tuned tones. A thing which you need to work on is getting a very tight and accurate right hand technique which we can tackle together, by working on my Metal Metrics series If you can get those riffs tight and mean - you will be able to tackle djenty stuff with ease. In the mean time, what sort of djent bands are you listening to? It's important to get they style imbued into yourself by listening to a lot of music! Cosmin |

Ok, great, but I wouldn't be getting the POD maybe until late November or early December! The only bands I really know and like are Born of Orsiris, Periphery, and Feared. I really like Feared alot, and there's also Glass Cloud, but I'm not sure if it's a Djent band.
I'm sorry I'm making post late on the thread, I'm currently in school right now and I get home at 5:00. When I get home there's just enough time to do my homework really so yeah. I hope you understand.  Also, what did you thing of those quick samples I gave you? -------------------- Follow me on Twitter

Well, first things first
Use this thread here, for an inspiration to your djent bands audition -> https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=40594 Second, your samples are very nice! I liked the ideas but I will be very insistent on you working with a metronome or backing tracks so that I can hear your playing in respect to a rhythmic landmark This is how I suggest we should work, ok?

Ok, thanks...I usually work with a metronome when playing most things. However, I just wanted you to her a quick sample. I don't want to rush you, but can you give me some kind of lesson/exercise to practice that would improve my Djent "licks", I guess...I think I have all the motivation and inspiration I need, I just need to understand what makes Djent, "Djent"? If you know what I mean... My riffing isn't as good as I want it to be and I'm hoping you can help me with that!
Also, I've checked out the forum and read most of the stuff that's on there, thanks for those post. I understand what Djent is, now I just have a tuff time making my own Djent songs. However, I learn things very fast and fluidly...It would be nice to have a good battle on here! -------------------- Follow me on Twitter

You will have more than a good battle my friend
But to be able to reach that sort of precision, you need to become very good with rhythm. If you want to start working hands on, on something oriented in that direction, how about this one?https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Metal-Metrics-6/ |

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Sep 18 2012, 09:26 AM)  Howdy bro! Ok, now, the tone seems to be ok, but your timing is a bit faulty - by that, I mean that you are slightly behind the drum groove - pay attention to this issue and let's solve it together. Please re-record the take at 75% of the speed - using the backing track and play it from beginning to the end I want to hear all the riffs Do we have a deal? Cosmin Sure. I'll let you know when I re-record it...I'll put it on SoundCloud this time though! -------------------- Follow me on Twitter

Alright man! Sounds very good
Always be on the lookout for timing and tight playing - it's the basis of all the rhythmic things!

I haven't got to re-record yet, but I was wondering what string gauge I should buy to get a really Djenty sound. Should I go with the "12-52" or should I get the "12-60"? Please tell me which one you think can get me a brutal sound will playing in Drop A#...
PS: I'm using a pitch shifter to tone down instead of tuning all the strings! -------------------- Follow me on Twitter

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Sep 21 2012, 06:29 AM) Mate, I am using 12-68 baritone strings from Elixir on my PRS Mike Mushok baritone guitar (tuned to drop A) and Elixir 12-52s on the PRS Paul Allender (tuned to drop C) I think the 12-60 would work very well with drop A# though it's a matter of testing Ok, thanks, but I also play mostly Metalcore so I was thinking the strings might be to heavy and they would be right for that genre...I'll just get some string and test them out though. That's the only way to really know! -------------------- Follow me on Twitter
