> 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.

Aloha Mert biggrin.gif

alright man, this is your spot so, let's see - first things first, would you like to approach things from a technical perspective only or would you like to focus on theory or other things as well?

Out of what you told me, technique would be your main interest at this point, but I am asking since I would like to know where you would like to travel in your musical journey smile.gif

Hey man! This looks like you can pump up the tempo a bit more wink.gif you know, you remind me a lot of one of my old teachers in the way you are picking. You got a very good AP movement in the right hand biggrin.gif

Spot on Mert! wink.gif

Tell me, would you like to try something more musical implying AP? I think you can do a lot more than just exercises!

Hey Cosmin, thanks smile.gif I have done this exercise at 100 bpm today, haven't recorded yet. Yes I would like to do something more musical smile.gif On the other hand I still want to learn to be able to stop notes from blending into each other.
I leave it up to you to decide how to proceed smile.gif

I'm still thinking about how to make a little vid regarding this topic - I think you can also check the parts in the vivaldi lesson for this idea as they treat the same subject and they are being shot in slow tempo as well. I'll shoot a vid with that exercise and I hope it'll help smile.gif

In the mean time, what say you about this one?

About the video, I think if you shoot the mixolydian exercise first at a slow tempo showing clearly how to stop unwanted noise and then repeat it with a fast tempo it would be amazingly helpful! One would first see how it is done and then also hear how it is supposed to sound..

About the lesson, yea smile.gif I will learn it and post it here smile.gif Although I shouldn't make a REC post of it just yet because it will lower my average lesson difficulty tongue.gif
