USE THIS LINK FOR VIDEO http://www.ustream.tv/channel/gmc-chat USE THIS LINK FOR CHAT (LOAD IN A SEPARATE TAB/WINDOW) http://www.guitarmasterclass.net:35555/123...;init_password= SYNCH or SWIM!!! As you may have noticed, I"m a BIG fan of Right/Left hand Synchronization. This is an area that many folks really struggle with. I'm no exception. Getting my hands to "talk" to each other was quite a bit of work. Today, let's dive in to that just a bit FIRST UP!!! Let's get going with a bit of a rythm/lick bit. It is much more fun than playing a straight hand drill and the syncopated timing makes it sound spiff *Here is a simplified version of a more complex riff. Let's start out more simple and work up to crazy. 336a.gp5 ( 1.79K ) Number of downloads: 82 336b.gp5 ( 1.79K ) Number of downloads: 96 336c.gp5 ( 1.89K ) Number of downloads: 79 336d.gp5 ( 1.89K ) Number of downloads: 91 336e.gp5 ( 1.89K ) Number of downloads: 79 336f.gp5 ( 1.74K ) Number of downloads: 87 336g.gp5 ( 1.74K ) Number of downloads: 87 336h.gp5 ( 1.74K ) Number of downloads: 87 HERE IS OUR FULL VIDEO CHAT FROM TODAY! http://www.ustream.tv/broadcaster/12000077 Here is GMCER VERC doing a killer mod on todays work!! https://soundcloud.com/vercia/336fchuggaharm Thanks for making it such a huge jam party guys!!

(STOP PLAYING AT THE POINT OF PAIN) CLICK HERE TO JOIN CHAT ROOM @ 8PM GMT, 3 PM EST (SUNDAY SESSION) DIRECT LINK TO LESSON NOTES: http://bitly.com/gmclesson337 FINGER YOGA! (Always Warmup BEFORE Playing) ---------------------------------------------------------- ONWARD!!! Let's leverage the work we've done up to this point. We have learned a variety of Drills and Riffs to help focus our technique. Let's focus a bit on the right hand and make use of some of the bits that you should know pretty well by now. For today's work, try to AVOID LEGATO. Try to pick every single note and keep a good palm mute. First up!! Let's take a lick that we worked on last session and MOD it to make our hand work a bit more on alternate picking and precision.
