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.

Here a quick recording @ 90bpm. I played along the gp-file:
https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/nastymetariff-90bpm I need to increase by 2 bpm steps and work my way up to the 146bpm   I think these are 16th played at 146 bpm.. for me that's hard to play clean atm, even a few notes. |

You have no clue how nasty this lick is in a live context  Mate, I suggest you to practice it on a clean tone  at the same tempo, or even slower, until you can hear EVERY note as clear as a bohemian crystal glass

Congrats mate! Now, all you would have to do in order to have the perfect sounding slowed down version of this riff, would be to play all the notes at the same intensity Can we have another take having this in mind and adding it on top of the way it sounded in this last recording?

QUOTE (mad @ Jan 14 2013, 07:55 AM) Will do so And yes - I'm choking a few notes sometimes, but it's quite hard, when you play that riff 15 minutes or longer, everything works fine with that tempo - but when you press record ...  Are there any other practice-routines you can recommend that I can combine with this? Hmmmm, there was this lesson from Muris, based on alternate picking that involved picking inbetween strings - it will help you sort out your movements a lot in situations where you have to deal with not so usual forms played on adjacent strings. Here it is - I don't want you to do it at full speed right away, but work on it and get acquainted with the movements https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ernate-workout/ |

This sounds great!
I like this lesson a lot - learned it myself I kinda of made a little personal quest out of trying to play as many Muris lessons as possible

Awesome! What are your favourite lessons you learned/want to learn? Are there any other Muris lessons you can recommend me (maybe I make a small list for let's say this year
)?
