Dieterle's Begginer Bash-out Options

[Cosmin Lupu]

Hello hello this is your very own personal mentoring thread and I would like to start off by telling you that what you told me in the PM is possible if we focus on a few areas such as rhythm, some techniques - which ones would you prefer? and some theory

How much time are you able to dedicate to guitar playing each day? It would also be awesome if you could record yourself so I could hear and see how you play

all the best and let's rock!

Hey man! The video and audio quality are just good to work with and you have a very good tone on that strat

We could start working with simple rhythm and lead lessons focusing on rhythm articulation and phrasing, so that you may slowly but surely reach your goal

I noticed your hand is moving a bit to much when strumming - the right hand I mean

What would you like to start with - rhythm or lead?

rhythm i think i didn't do al lot yet

[Dieterle]

The style of the guitar in your lesson Katalonia is real touching .

All this kind of Pagan music style - however it calls is real vibration inside - love it .

The only thing what makes my hesitate are all this different tunings in this guitar style.


Anyway its real impressive .

Have good time

OK D

[Cosmin Lupu]

OK D

hey man, this would make the song be played in Dminor, this means we could keep the same positions as in the tabs and play the song on a drop D guitar wold you be ok with using the tabs in the katatonia lesson as they are acccurate? : )

Good morning Cosim !

Yes Katatonia Great !

Lets get into it .

Next week i will go with my wife to city for some shopping and by the way i look for a good guitar tuner who can tune every note

i think a chromatic one should be right or am i wrong !?

For dropped D i don't need !

Can you give me information witch tuner is good for long time ?

I have got 2 good guitars and one i will then tune for lower tunings .

This week i start with dropped D and after buying my tuner we try the original Katatonia tuning
I really looking forward to that
thank you very much! Dieter

[Cosmin Lupu]

Hey Dieter yes, a chromatic tuner is what you need, but for the drop A tuning in which the Katatonia lesson is composed, you need a baritone guitar or thick strings on a regular guitar. You could contact thefireball, here on the forum, as he transformed a normal guitar into a baritone this is why I thought we could use the drop D tuning so that you may be able to tackle the lesson in an easier way.

If you want, we can also tackle something easier in the mean time, so let m know, k?

Hey man! No problemmo I'm loking forward to see the recording and of course, if there are any questions regarding the lesson, please tell me

[Dieterle]

Hi Cosim ,
here my first clip about catatonia lesson in dropped d

Lots of mistakes - but its important for me that you see those problems

I have real fun with that lesson and keep on doing it .

The lesson includes a lot of elements what is hard for me but good to go on it .

Rhythm - Palmute - melody - speed and those changes from part to part .

At this step its first important that i nearly know the notes and tabs in mind - now i can get into the parts

I enjoy it and thank you a lot for standing behind!

[Dieterle]

Second one -- day after..

[Cosmin Lupu]

Second one -- day after..

hey Dieter!

let's start off with the main riff I think you understood it a bit wrong as it doesn't quite sound this way.

Take a look over the GP file attached in the lesson and try the following things:

- at the bottom of the screen where you will see each instrument on a separate track, double click on the distortion guitar track and set the tuning to drop D (if you encounter problems I will provide a screenshot) and choose not to adapt the forms to the new tuning, when the software asks you.
- now the guitar is tuned into drop D and you can alter the tempo from the mid right corner - where you will see a metronome logo with yellow

The idea is to try and play along with the GP file

what say you?

Cosmin

[Dieterle]

Hi Cosim , i changed the guitar tuning in guitar pro 6 it was bit different as you wrote

1. your gp file has only akustik guitar and no other instruments
anyway

2. i changed that guitar tuning into dropped d and didn't let change the transcription so the note positions are at the same place
only the guitar sounds different .

now i start with gp exercise and the first part show you soon on vid for control


thank you !

[Dieterle]

Hallole,
Cosim now i recognized it when i try to play with gp and tempo 40 - what a different


Ok have a good time see you !
