> HEY MAN, I really need your help...

...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:

* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.

* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!

* 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?

* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hi JesseJ!! Welcome to your Gab's Army thread!!

Could you please tell me a bit about you, your musical tastes, influences, strengths and weaknesses? I would need some videos of you playing rhythm and solo guitar, so please post your best material here. If you have some music or ideas of your own, also post them here. Also let me know how you think that I can help you and what are your expectations for our job. You can check the other Army's thread to discover the different modalities of this project.


The principles of our Army are:

Hi mate! Thanks for this new take! It's a great decision to post your progress the more frequent possible. I can notice an improvement comparing this take with the previous one. You are more comfortable with the sections. There are some wrong notes here and there but the overall is ok. Keep on practising it for some days, and let's start working on a new one! Do you have any lesson in mind?

Hey! thanks for the feedback smile.gif I will keep practicing that lesson . Another lesson ... well I was thinking i would like to learn some more about arpeggios I don't know much about them other than that they are a broken chord , but I see you can do some cool stuff with them so I would like to dig into that . I personally like to not just learn a song but then also analyze it and learn what they used and did to make the different parts and such so that way I will learn how to improvise . Like I want to know why and what i'm playing . I know people who can play cool stuff but have no idea what they are doing they just learnt a tab , Whereas I want to be like " what am I playing ? oh that is a lick in G minor pentatonic or that is a C major arpeggio" . Because I think that way I will learn how to improvise and write music better .

Great thinking mate! Let's go for it. I have this idea, we work in parallel in musical lessons and also in some theory lessons, and we will analyse together what's happening in the musical lessons. I will give you some suggestions but please tell me what you know about theory.

What do you think?

Well My theory is pretty good . Let me see I'm not to sure where to start . I know the the major/minor scales and how to make them . Such as the whole step/half step stuff . I understand the theory behind making chords but I still cant make them at will on the guitar .Like I know 5th and 6th string barre chords and most open chords but I cant make a chord using theory yet I just know the shapes and such But I can make them on the piano . I know how to read music ( like real music not tabs ) I played piano for a while, I just don't know how to look at a piece of sheet music and play it on the guitar . I understand timing and rests and can read them ( also a by-product of piano ) Intervals are kind of a grey area to me . I was kinda looking into the cycle of keys but I never really finished that I think they move in 5th intervals when going in sharps and 4th's when going in flats but not to sure. I know that we play music in keys and each key has it's different degrees which make different chords such as a G chord in the key of Cmaj is a Maj chord but in the key of A it is a diminshed chord ( I think ) . So I guess I would say I have good basic understanding of theory . I have studied it a fair amount though because I figured that is how I would get good . My problem is my theory is all self taught so applying it isn't the best sad.gif Like I know scales and how to make them but my solos ( or attempts at them ) don't sound good at all . idk if you remember my song I first posted with that little solo I made up . So that is pretty much it . i worked through a few theory books and like i said I have played piano for 2 years so I do know some theory smile.gif I just want to learn how to apply it better .

You might have an easier time judging my theory knowledge if you asked me some questions .
