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.

I prepared a few ideas based on the last session's acoustic song - I transformed everything into riffs and melodies so that you may see how an electric version would sound. After this I would like to start discussing a few ideas regarding whammy bar phrasing: - correct pitch - vibrato - single notes and chords - bending and vibrato - sliding from note to note I will see you as usual in the video chat room, this Thursday at 8 PM London time as usual  cheers mates!

Mates, I am planning on a very interesting session - based on the suggestion of our dear friend Yash - Scale sequencing  I have added a twist - we shall use odd groupings and combine them for great dynamics and diversity in phrasing! We shall first discuss on how to exercise odd groupings separately - groups of 5,6,7 and 9 notes and then combine them all together, in examples such as the ones you shall find attached in the GP and PDF files below! See you at 8 PM London time - This Thursday to discuss on Scale sequencing! Cosmin

Mates, this Thursday, we shall combine the knowledge we have gathered with modes, with the note groupings we have discussed last time Take a look over the 4 licks and observe the differences between the modes by looking for the characteristic scale degrees of each of the 4 minor modes presented: Aeolian, Phrygian, Locrian and Dorian. We shall discuss them licks this Thursday at 8 PM London time, as usual! See you in the chat room! Cosmin

Continuing our ear training journey, I have chosen a popular melody - Jingle Bells - which I have altered using 3 major modes - Ionian, Lydian and Mixolydian, so that you guys can figure out the subtle differences created by using modal progressions and the notes involved with them. Check out the Guitar pro and PDF attached and I will see you tomorrow, Thursday, August 2nd, at 8 PM London time in the GMC Chat room where we shall continue talking about ear training and some more vocal technique tips Cosmin

Since last time we have started harmonizing scales and learning the fretboard with the aid of arpeggios, we will continue the journey with an interesting concept, regarding playing the same phrase in a different way Check out the PDF and GP files and you will see the two arpeggio shapes I have used and transformed! We shall debate on them and see how we can learn about the fretboard by using such a method See you in the chat room TOMORROW, Thursday 8 PM London time! Cosmin

Ahoy mates! As you may well remember, we have seen the many ways in which we can play a simple theme such as the vocal line in 'Whiskey in the jar' if we know the harmony behind it and the notes making it up, right? Well, here is an assignment for you Pick up the notes in the melodic line - see the GP or PDF files attached - and place in whatever chords you might like and see fit, other than the usual chord progression of the original song Send me the files with your ideas and maybe we get a new song together We'll discuss your takes this Thursday at 8 PM London time together with the licks attached in the other PDF files! We'll discuss on where we can fit them and practice them together Enjoy your homework and I'll see you on Thursday! Cosmin
