Hi Everyone,
I am a new member at GMC and decided to say hi and introduce myself. I subscribed 2 days ago and I really enjoy what I have experienced so far. There is an enormous amount of lessons to master, pretty cool live lessons and also some cool fellow guitar players.
A bit about my background in music: I had classical guitar lessons for 8 years between ages 11 and 19, which was a long time ago by the way I haven't been taking lessons since then but I tried to play regularly. I enjoy playing pieces mostly by F. Tarrega, H.V. Lobos and I. Albeniz. A couple of years ago I decided that I would like to advance my technique in electric guitar as well. Although I am quite an advanced classical guitar player my electric guitar technique is probably somewhere around 5-7. Bands that influence my playing style are Dream Theater and Opeth mostly. I also like some neoclassical stuff. My strength, having a background in classical playing, is that I have a solid left hand technique and quite a comfortable pinky finger. My weakness is my picking hand. I would like to get better at alternate picking and sweep picking techniques. I am sure the material here at GMC will help me a lot..
That's all for now. Looking forward to interacting with you guys more and sharing ideas and hopefully uploading some of my takes on some lessons in the future. I have a pretty busy working schedule so I don't know if I can manage to do any of the weekly challenges but I will try to give that a shot also at some point
Cheers.
