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.

hi mate
been practising hard this last 2 weeks working on some alt picking exercises and some timing exercises. Ive also spent some time trying to come up with some big fat 'spiritual beggar' type riffs I have a take of the lesson you set. Not quite getting the best tone but I recorded 4 takes tonight and I think this was maybe the best out of them. http://soundcloud.com/bleez666/pr1 I might not be getting the bends perfect but I think Im getting a little better in that area. cheers bro. -------------------- You say 'minor pentatonic ' like it's a bad thing |

Hi Cosmin hope everything is good with you, mate.
I have a couple of recordings which I was hoping you could have a listen to and give me some feedback on? Im still trying to improve on that pop-rock solo, what do you think..... getting closer? I just ordered up a web cam and Im going to try and get a rec take done this month..... Im thinking that this lesson might be the best for me to use. http://soundcloud.com/bleez666/pop-rock-2-0 I also joined in Alex's latest collab and recorded this piece for it. I knew I wouldnt win any prizes for speed so I just tried to play something that - 1. didnt suck and 2. maybe sounded a bit melodic. I dont write solos so this was kinda new to me but I aimed for 'the groove' I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, mate. http://soundcloud.com/bleez666/rockincollab cheers -------------------- You say 'minor pentatonic ' like it's a bad thing |

Ahoy there man 1) For the pop rock solo, I think it's technically correct, although it could still be improved in what regards flow and interpretation - now that you nailed the bends, you should focus on the dynamic of the lesson - which gives it the right feeling. 2) I like your take man - the fact that there's no shredding doesn't mean it's not ok - it's got power and melody man! And I think it's nicely articulated too the only points where it lacks a bit of flow, would be the descended runs, such as the one at about 0.36 So, tell me man, how's life? What do you feel like you would enjoy tackling next? I'll make some recommendation based on what you tell me Cosmin thanks for the tips. I'll keep working at the dynamics and flow, Im hoping it will develop as I get more confident in my playing. I'll do another recording of the pop rock solo for you to hear in a couple of weeks, hopefully with a bit more feeling in it. TBH Im not too sure where to go at the moment I thought I might go back to that solo you set me a while ago. It basically kicked my ass and it has bothered me a lot that I couldnt play it. But Im still struggling with bending. I find it really difficult to hit the correct note when I bend and tend to go over or under the note.... a lot! -------------------- You say 'minor pentatonic ' like it's a bad thing |
