I was wondering
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
but by this I'm trying to figure out how everyone's clock is ticking
This is a great topic mate!
It doesn't take long until I memorize the notes and the fingering I decide to use. As for theory, unfortunately I don't think about it that much, I learn stuff "on the fly", which means that if I play a particular new scale or mode lots of times, eventually I'll become familiar with it
As soon as I learn all the parts of the song, it doesn't take long to combine all the pieces together at 50% speed. That's the easy part - except if I have to learn a completely new technique used in the lesson (like in Muris' Oriental Shred lesson - took me a while to learn the grace notes, which are all over that lesson!
)
Bringing the lesson to the original speed - this takes most of the time... Depending on the speed/difficulty/motivation/spare time/health issues
it can take from few weeks to a few months!
Recording the lesson - weeeell, the night I *DECIDE* to record the lesson is the day I'm definitely gonna do it, so after a few takes I usually get it done, but in some cases it can take a few hours (warmup, bloopers etc)
I often rush it because I'm too scared my battery will run off and not recording the video the exact day I wanted to record it is very depressing
