> 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.

This is a good exercise smile.gif try this:

- sing the C major scale over a C major chord than over a CM7 chord and so on with the following: Cmaj6/9 CM7/9, Cmajadd9

Now, I also wanted to ask if you are ok with chord theory? All these are ear training exercises which are going to help a lot! If you understand the structure of these chords, you can emphasize the notes which you find in the chord structure and in the C major scale, by holding them a while longer than the others tongue.gif sounds challenging?

Hi Cosmin

Still practising ! I'm really struggling with the blues soloing. I can do it at 81bpm but I'm finding it very hard to move up to 84 - the end part is just too quick for me smile.gif

Any tips ?

Hey there mate smile.gif well, those 3 BPM's you are aiming for should be given more time probably - I say aim for increasing 1 BPM right after you can play at 81 BPM without feeling absolutely NO TENSION or difficulty. 1 BPM will not be perceived as a major change for the brain wink.gif thus you will not feel it. Can you play fully relaxed at 81 BPM?

I wouldn't say I'm 'fully relaxed' at 81 bpm smile.gif I think there must be something wrong with me........the end bit before the turnaround seems too fast for my limited skills.

I'll keep working on it sad.gif
