QUOTE (leonard478 @ Jun 1 2012, 05:13 AM)  My goals on the site are to be able to shred , and become a much more technical player . My weakness is speed, phrasing , lack of full performable repertoire Strongest in musicality, making things sound as musical as I can, improvisation is decent Favorite guitarists: jack thammarat, andy Timmons , Stevie ray Vaughan, Steve vai, Eric Johnson , joe bonamassa Steffen schackinger Awesome! I am glad to have you on board! To start I would like you to work on your hands coordination! We need to get them synced together! Usually right hand is fine and the left hand is the trouble one! I have a perfect exercise that will do the trick! Here is the tab:
Guitar Pro 
Hands_workout.gp5 ( 4.5K )
Number of downloads: 101Practice it at a very slow tempo with a metronome! You will se results very fast! Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |

You did a great job! I would like you to add this exercise into your warm up routine! And you will se a huge progress in no time! Let's get into melodic assignment! Here is the backing track I would like you to use to practice! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/withguitar It's a minor blues The chord changes are: Ami7 - Dmi7 - Ami7 - Emi7 - Dmi7 - Ami7 I have a really good exercise that will help you develop your own style! I want you to start creating your own licks! To start we will use A minor blues pentatonic in 3 positions:    You can use any notes from those positions !Try to combine them together and turn them into short licks! I would like to hear what you can come up with before I will give you examples! Let me know if you need help or have any questions! -------------------- |
