IS THAT YOUR MAMA?
Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.
I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:
* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!
* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.
* 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?
* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

QUOTE (mad @ Oct 4 2012, 08:23 AM)  Thanks  I'm very relaxed and it feels very natural now. I use to play while tapping my foot since a few days, that really helps with the internal clock.. I just started with another lesson from Gabriel and this time I try to especially keep an eye on timing.. Is there anything else you think I should do to improve timing? Maybe another lesson that contains (easy) phrasing.. just to see if I get the notes played in time? Glad to hear it Marc! I think it's a good thing to play everything like this from now on It'll solidify your rhythm skills greatly  You mean, a lesson which has to do with lead also, right? That would be interesting to see - played against the special backing  How about this one: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...hythm-phrasing/ It seems perfect for the task Cosmin |

I'll do, I'll do
 and I really like your new collab Will see, if I can come up with something interesting..Well, that wallimann-lesson is another hard one for me - I'm not into fusion playing, and these chops are quite hard to copy, even at a slow tempo.. I just looked at this one here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Improv...h_Low_Contrast/ I think it fits better into my playing style and level.. ok with that, too? Today I played the first bars of your 'modes of the rising sun' lesson. I played with the slower backing, fiddled around and created some bend/pre-bend-licks of my own just to get a feel for it.. was fun! And - as you now - I like to grab my acoustic once a while.. and playing your new 'violins and hybrid picking' - lesson is awesome!! I never played hybrid before (just only pick or pure fingerstyle). Will see if I can make a take for you next week.. P.S. there is a bug in the tabs for this lesson: Part4, bar 3 (it's played 5-4-0-3, 5-4-0-5 but in tabs : 5-4-2-3, 5-4-2-5).. |

Good day hombre! This take is very good and it can go in the REC. As an ensemble you got it rolling, but there are tiny details which need attention
- the lead part needs to be smoother - you should use slides when making transitions - in that way and with the aid of the delay, it will sound even more like a vocal line (at least this was my intention, on emulating Chino's vocalizing with the lead lines) - you have some hesitation moments in the lead part - when playing the 5/4 riff, you should be more confident and tight and also don't use the left hand when playing open strings. Mute using only the right hand About the lead playing in general Hmmmmmmm... Let's give this one a shot, shall we?https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...lead-beginners/ What do you think? I chose it because it has a lot of bends which are fairly doable and they will harden you for what's coming Cosmin |

Hey Cos!
As already discussed, here a test-recording (first minute) of your meta-lesson. Maybe you can give me some tips for my tone, too.. https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/days-of-confusion-meta-1-min For improving my soloing skills, I decided to switch over to Ben's Epic Metal Beginner Solo and try to play it with the same expression regarding bends and vibrato.. will upload a take for you to look over asap.. Marc |
