> HEY MAN, I really need your help...

...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:

* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.

* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!

* 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?

* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hi CathShadow!! Welcome to your thread for the Gab's Army!

Could you please tell me a bit about you, your musical tastes, influences, strengths and weaknesses? I would need some videos of you playing rhythm and solo guitar, so please post your best material here. If you have some music or ideas of your own, also post them here. Also let me know how you think that I can help you and what are your expectations for our job. You can check the other Army's thread to discover the different modalities of this project.


The principles of our Army are:

+ Improve your technique
+ Make music and solos
+ Have fun
+ Destroy the enemy (hahaha not realy just kidding... )

Hey Gabriel smile.gif

Well, I have been playing now, for 3 years and a bit,
I like metal, Rock, that sort of thing - Offspring are one of my favourites, flyleaf, Demon Hunter, Seventh Day Slumber, then some classic 80s rock too... generall this sort of style..

Influences... hmmm... Noodles/Dexter Holland; Orianthi, the guitarists in flyleaf... Some of my friends; you ...

Strengths.. hmmmm... I guess rhythm and some AP...

weaknesses: sweep, speed, lead , Improv...

The video is uploading, I will send the link as soon as I have it,

and maybe some samples of my own stuff...
basically I want to become much better at rock - speed, and solo/lead biggrin.gif

Hi man! Thanks for the description and also for the video that you sent me. On this first week we will start with some warming up/endurance exercises that I shared in my Vchat sessions. Here you have the link:

LESSON #1 – WARMING UP & ENDURANCE

Work on this ones. Try to get a full tone of every note and to keep playing each one as a loop the more time than you can. Always stretch your arms and fingers before you start practising.

I have two questions:

What level of solo lessons do you use to learn here at GMC?
What's your theory knowledge? Do you know triads, chords, scales and how to use them?

Cool smile.gif I'll get right on that! biggrin.gif

Well, I usually try level 4 lessons as far as solo - that's the highest I've tried... with varying success rates...

As for theory:

My theory is kind of mixed -> Triads I know are I, III, V from the scale,

As for Chords.. to make chord prgression from a scale take the I, IV, V chords, thats the most common right?

As for scales... I know more the box shapes than the scales (by heart) but I can work out at leas the major scale (WWHWWWH)...

Well, It's been a while,

But I've learned a few of the finger picking ones, (Raindrops - Dejan Farkus) those ones,
the flyleaf style - Carlos Carrilla
I did your Nirvana one,
Tarantella Rock
your Paramore style lesson -- but I only landed up doing the rhythm half,


These are the ones I remember... I suppose you could consider me a 'blank slate' o_O

Hi mate! Everything sounds good and clean on this video! Now it's time to use the legato exercises to work on resistance. I would like to have a new video of you playing some of those exercises as a loop for a minute or more.

Regarding the lessons for the REC, I think that we should go for the Paramore lesson that is a good lesson for rhythm guitar playing and very in your style.

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Paramo...ar-Arrangement/

Also, I would like you to select a collab to join. The idea is to work here your ideas until we have a solo that we like.

Check out this thread: Active Collabs

Hi mate! The take is very good! I just noted two moments where there is something weird about timing but the problem is very small. It's mostly in the palm muted parts when you end a riff, and is more notorious in the part that goes from 01:03 to 01:26. There you lose the tempo a bit so try to concentrate on that part. By the way you are on the right track. I would also like to hear you playing the second guitar. smile.gif

Hi man! Thanks for this take! The takes (both guitars) are good but have many timing issues, you really have to concentrate on that. I'm talking mostly about the first palm muting section and the melodies of the last part, that I think that you recording in a second take. The other sections are played good. So, with some timing adjust you will have a perfect take. Keep on working!
