Waggers' Ground Up Place Options

[Cosmin Lupu]

Too old to be this bad at guitar

I've tried another take. I think it's better in terms of less ringing notes and crisper chord changes. I hope so anyway !

My sound quality isn't great because I just have a cheap pc mic going into my laptop. I do have a Presonus Firebox and some decent mics but my laptop doesn't have a firewire port so I think I'm stuck with the pc mic hanging in front of my amp. I also adjusted the intonation of my guitar so hopefully it will sound less out of tune.

I hope this is worth an extra half point so I can move on and learn something new Come on man....it is my birthday after all

This is definitely better! The chord changes are clear and the notes are definitely much more defined than the last time so I think you can get start working on another, but do not leave this one unattended rehearse it at least once or twice each day and try another take after some time you will have a surprise most certainly.

You were telling me about another lesson you were tackling which one was that?

Cosmin

PS: why don't you post this again in the RC section? It'll get a good grade for certain

Hi Cosmin

Thanks for your reply. I will post again in the REC section. I was working on a blues lesson but I'd be happy for you to suggest another lesson for me start on. You know my (bad) standard now

If the blues lesson has some lead playing in it, I would be curious to see how you're dealing with it if not, please let me know, as I'd like to know how your lead playing is, thus I'll point you to a lead oriented lesson at your level!

What do you think?

No lead playing - it's this one http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Blues-Rhythm-Guitar/

Point me to a lead lesson !

Goordmornin' mate!

How about choosing between these:

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...loing-beginner/

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...nner-solo-in-d/

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/blues-solo-in-D/

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...loing-beginner/

I think they encompass a lot of important techniques and they can develop your skills!

Tell me which one you like and find close at hand for learning, so we shall focus on that one

cheers

Hey Cosmin

They're all scary to me

I'll have a go at the first one. See you in about 6 months

Hey mate, if you were joking, I'm looking forward to a take if not, let me know so we can find something more suitable

No that's fine, I'll give it a shot.

[Cosmin Lupu]

Ok mate, let me know when you got the chance to go through the whole lesson so we can discuss details, like bends and other articulation elements which are very important in this genre!

Hey Cosmin

Can you please check something for me. The videos 4, 5 and 6 for this lesson just stop aftera couple of seconds. Can you see if they do that for you ?

Thanks

Good morning man! They are working ok here...dunno what the issue might be - or did you manage to get past it?

Great to hear! How's it going so far?

My fingers are sore

It's not too bad. I'm fairly OK up until the last lick before the turnaround. That's quite fast for me and I'm struggling with the timing even when I slow it down.

Take your time man! I'd rather have you take a wee bit more time and get things done awesomely than rush and not get the good stuff going slow is ALWAYS good and another thing, have you tried to sing the lead parts?

Have you seen the bit I'm struggling with Who can sing that fast ?

[waggers]

It's the fast bit on video 7 until the end that I'm having trouble with. At the moment I can just about play it at 45 bpm which is half speed. The rest of it I am OK with and can play at normal speed.

Have you got any tips for me to get this ? Going from 45 to 90 bpm seems a long way away

Well if you increase 3 beats per minute every day, and get to play that phrase 3-5 times in a row, you'll handle it very well in a relatively short period of time. 45 divided by three means 2 weeks. Here's what I suggest: record a take with everything up to the nasty lick and work on it for two weeks, by increasing 3 BPM/ day so that you may nail it right. Don't increase unless you can control everything perfectly, k?

Are we ready?
