I was wondering smile.gif how fast (in hours spent) are you on nailing a GMC lesson, by this meaning:

- Understanding what you are playing - technically and theoretically
- Being able to execute things with flow and as good as possible at the slowest tempo available (slowest backing track)
- Bringing the lesson up to the original speed, keeping the execution as before - clean, in time, tight and expressive
- Recording the lesson for a REC take?

You'll probably pick your maximum level for certain for the involved difficulty tongue.gif but by this I'm trying to figure out how everyone's clock is ticking biggrin.gif

-1. It is very hard to say, it all depends on what level of difficulty the song/sequence is. But I would say pretty fast, the theoretical and technical part is the easiest part, being able to execute it is a whole diffrent story though.

-2 To do it right away slow after examining the sequence in question? Sometimes, it all depends on the level or difficulty of course.

-3 weeks, months, if it is difficult enough, and something completely new to my "playingstyle library".

-4 Never ready to do that, I'm never satisfied with my playing sad.gif

It might be worth mentioning for your little experiment that: What I do in my free time in life has a huge impact on how fast I learn things on the guitar. If I just sit at home and practice by myself without any recording or rehearsing during the weeks it goes alot slower to progress. But If I have a full on studio schedule where I record guitars every day, and rehearse in between thoose hours my learning process is boosted about 40%(Wild guess of course, but my gut tells me it should be around 40% wink.gif ). I guess it all has to do with how focused I can get when I record compared to when I'm 100% relaxed at home "Just practicing" even though I really try to focus and do my best. Its a mystery! biggrin.gif

Good points man - for me it goes a bit the same smile.gif if i have to learn something difficult and challenging just because I want to, I tend to lengthen the process, but if for instance, I have to play that piece in a concert or prepare it for GMC in some way, I am focused to get it moving fast and good! smile.gif
