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

* 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?

Hi Marcin! Welcome to your Gab's Army thread!
I will post your introduction here.... "Hi! I want to indroduce myself to you guys. My name is Marcin and I'm from Poland. I'm 21 years old and I'm studying marketing management at University of Economics. This year I'll get Bachelor's Degree. As far as music interests go I'm into all kinds of metal. I also like some hard rock and classical music. I love guitar solos, thats why i started playing guitar few years ago! My favourite guitarists are: Yngwie Malmsteen, Jeff Loomis, Zakk Wylde, Randy Rhodes and many others. My fovourite soloing style is neoclassical. I love its connection beetwen melodies (classical inspired) and technical complexity. I really want to develop myself to become 'neoclassical virtuoso' type of guitarist. I enjoy other styles either but neoclassical for me is second to none. I've seen that GMC has many neoclassical lessons available. That is why I'm here. I want to learn more awesome licks, chord progressions and work on my technique. I'd also like to create some practice schedule to maximize practice productivity. Maybe someone could help me on my way to become better guitarist? I've seen that there is some mentoring available, I'd love to get such indivdual help (especially from someone who also likes neoclassical style). At the moment I play in heavy/thrash metal band SKAZA. I'm playing lead guitar there. You can check us (we have really good quility demo - 2 songs) at our Facebook or MySpace. Please check it and tell me what do you think about the songs, and lead guitar playing. Also if you enjoy it please 'like it' on our facebook fanpage I love gathering more 'likes'. Thank you for your time to read it! Marcin \m/" So you want to be a Neoclassical Virtuoso!! Let's start this amazing journey! The first thing that I need is a video of you showing your abilities: Rhythm, Alternate Picking, Sweep Picking, Legato etc... also let me know what scales you have learnt... I'm now checking your band! It sounds really good.. maybe you could film yourself playing some of your band's solos.

It's my first take to test the recorder etc. Is it enough quality for REC program? I'll record two videos for REC tommorow. |

Yes Emgie! I think that the overall is good. The things to improve on this one is your vibrato, it should be wider (check Marcus lesson), the first bend, which is a bit our of pitch and to make your alternate picking licks tighter. This take is good enough for the REC. Please post it to receive other instructors comments!
I'll wait for the next two videos! -------------------- My lessons

It would be good if you play both lessons at least twice a day to keep them in your repertoire. I have two ideas to work on those things.
For timing: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Vinnie...yle-patterns-1/ This lessons is cool to practice some neoclassical ideas that must be played tight. For Vibrato and bending: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/The_tasty_etude/ Jonathan's vibrato and bending are awesome. This tune is different to what you are used to play but I think that it could add what your playing is lacking. Concentrate on imitating Jona's wide vibrato on this one, and try to be precise with your bend's pitch. What do you think? -------------------- My lessons

Bookmarked both I love such licks like in Vinnie Moore style lesson! They are called pedal point licks, right? I absolutely enjoy the melody in the "Tasty Etude". I'll practice them! Pedal note licks! that's how they are used to be called. Great man! I'll wait for your updates! -------------------- My lessons

I was really busy this week: two shows with my band, new covers to prepare etc...
But I've posted first REC video https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...p=0&#entry0 At the moment I'm working on the Tasty Etude - it's more complicated than I thought! |

Great song choices!!
I checked both REC lessons. They are good and passed but check my comments because you can improve some little details to make them sound perfect. Have you checked this lesson? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guitar/tapping-lesson/ -------------------- My lessons

That sounds great for me mate! I'll be waiting for your tapping and sweeping lessons takes. For alternate picking I would go for this amazing series. They are a bit difficult but 100% effective.

Thank you for the link. I'll practice alternate picking like in this lesson. Of course much slower.
My goal is to play alternate picking like Malmsteen / Loomis some day! |
