Here it is!! The sign up thread many of you have been waiting for!

Firstly you must post a video of your current level of playing - this doesn`t have to be elaborate, just a few chops and techniques. You should also include some ideas on what you want to achieve in the coming months, and some notes on the overall style of playing you would like to develop - either spoken in the video , or in writing in your signup post.

Please read here if require more information about the MTP https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...8610&hl=mtp

Can we encourage the previous members that signed up for Kris`s initial test phase to re apply in this thread as well - all you have to do is re upload your previous application video to be considered.


**As a note, as part of the Intermediate Sign up competition we will be asking them to mentor one beginner each as part of the next phase of the competition, please be aware that we will be asking some of you for a period of one month to be mentored by the potential Intermediate mentor - please lest us know that you will be happy to help with this, and we`d like to give preference to the members that signed up for the original test phase**

HERES MINE!

Ok beforeall, I had to re-record 3 times due to crazy cam not recording:D

This time it worked but forgive me, I accidently didnt turn off the in-cam-mic function, This won' t happen in the future, it' s just, well, I forgot about it! And IT looks like I have 3 chins, I don' t. It' s because I was close to the camera and I was looking down:D Any more stuff you should know? eeehm... yeah! The synching is off by a thousand of a second due to windows movie maker! Enjoy the take... or don't!


What I want to achieve with MTP?
I just want to become an overall better player. I love working towards projects, and within the group, to see each others stuff and to learn from each other. Some stuff I really need to improve are major scale soloing, some neoclassical, and metal stuff . Alot! And this is another great way to play good guitar more! I would love to hear stuff from the mentor, regarding our uploads. It would be great to see progress over time!

Hey Smells, is this going to be starting from the beginning of the MTP that I took part in the first time around? Or is it going to be new lessons? I would love to jump back in if it isn't repeating what we already did!

I'm in.

And yeah, I'm fine working with a new Intermediate person. Whatever.

I'd like to be a better lead player. I've been at the same level for years and I'm tired of not progressing. I'm comfortable in my rhythm but I need to push it and get better.

I'd also like to be a better improv player and learn more about writing.

Video attached. I used my one from the MTP pilot since I'm heading out of town tomorrow morning and wont be back for almost a week.

This happens to me from time to time as well - If I just right click and save the file first, opening the downloaded file seems to work for me. Hope this helps.

I would love to take part of the MTP program.

I will try to upload something but I don't think I have time to do it until next week, is this ok? I have sound recordings right now but Video takes some learning smile.gif I dont have a webcam so I will have to use a normal videocamera.

When is the deadline for the video?

I would like to improve my lead and.. dont know what to call it, advanced rythm? Lead Rythm? hehe. A melody that are part of the "rythmsection" behind the song if you catch my drift, not just chords. Powergalloping is an example i guess. I would also like to improve my theoryknowledge but I guess that is not part of the MTP?

Regards

Next week will be fine, the sign up will be running and open for a while, we`ll keep you informed of when we are looking to close the sign ups, but it wont be for a few weeks yet, we have to find the intermediates from the competition first, but we need this runniong as well so that everything is in place when they are ready to start smile.gif

Just a quick webcam showing you playing using some different techniques. It's basically to see whether you'd benefit as there is obviously no point in you being in beginner MTP if you are better than intermediate quality and can play better than the person teaching you. So just webcam or vid cam yourself playing guitar and discuss what you want to improve in your playing and what you want to be able to play (so say jazz or blues etc.)

Ok Smells...I followed your advice and am jumping onboard! The pilot program was great, and I am sure the actual program will be even better! Here is the last lesson video I uploaded from the pilot MTP program...this reflects closely my current playing.

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&id=10963

I am still very focused on learning both the blues as well as metal. I love these two styles of music and enjoy playing them both! I am able to practice about an hour each day when I work and about 2 hours each day when I am off...after the kids go to bed of course! Can't wait to get started...thanks again!

Hi there
As you can see in my video I'm not a skilled player hehe.

I know some basics and I'm studing and learning a lot in the Theory Board.

My objetive of couse is to learn play guitar tongue.gif . My preference is soloing, but I know that rythm guitar is importat too to become complete guitarist.

I like very much Steve Vai's style, and I know that is very difficult to be as good as he is, but if I don't start I'll never know if this is possible tongue.gif

Here is my video.

I noticed that the part with backing track the volume isn't balanced so I also put another video with this part better balanced.






And I also want to put here the entry I have posted for the beginner competition.

Hey there,

I'm very interested in joining the MTP. Although I'm heading into a direction that seems the right one I still need guidance.
What I really want is to reach a professional level, but I think that that's more a goal for a multiple-year-plan. So right now I just want to really master the basics so I have a solid foundation. I'm talking about (speed)picking, legato, tapping, extending my lick library, bends, vibrato, rhythm playing and theory. I really like listening to all styles, but what I want to achieve is an accessible guitar style. I don't want to sound like MAB/Yngwie/Paul Gilbert, but rather like Eddie van Halen/Richie Sambora/Slash.

Pleaaaase let me be in this program!!

Hi Smells,

I'd like to sign up for the new mtp smile.gif

This is my nicest trialMTP lesson video:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&id=10947

I still got an mtp lesson to finish but can't yet because my gmc membership ran out, and
my bank fails to send me a new creditcard (old one expired in september!) i hope to get
it before end of the year >__>


I want to learn everything needed to be a good guitarist, i need to learn all the basics first...
I like all styles,but mostly i'd love to play stuff like Vai, Satriani and Slash someday biggrin.gif

I can do some basic vibrato, bending and alternate picking, but im very bad with hammerons/pulloffs
and can't tap at all tongue.gif

Didn't you record a video earlier for mtp? If so, use that one! smile.gif

ahah, thanks for remembering me!! Now let's find that post wink.gif

Ok so here we go:

I'v started playing guitar around the age of eight. I didn't really practice or anything, so it didn't real work, but I did learn my chords. I really started playing last October, and in December I started using GMC. I can play solo's like the modern blues (Muris), so that's my solo lvl. For rhythm guitar, as I said I can play most chords and songs like hotel California and Save Tonight are not very hard to play along. For riffing and power chords… I used to play heavy metal for beginners 3, and now I play Pumping Rock lesson, so I can use power chords just fine. My finger style is limited, I can do some easy tunes (tears in heaven) but that's about it. In improvisation, I'm more of the less is more attitude, and I don't like shredding. That's why I prefer the more melodic collaboration, for example the recent Gary Moore Style collab. My theory knowledge is the pentatonic scale, relative minor, harmonics and some more bits and pieces (e.g. how to make triads). Also I know the major scale in theory, not in boxes.

I want to learn the following things in the coming 6 months:

-Better improvisation, more melodic playing. Being able to put feeling in my music. Also being able to write, and not just improvise. I'm very active in collaborations, so that helps wink.gif


-Major scale, being able to play the positions. Fluid use of the pentatonic scale.

-I'd love to play more rock riffs.. I live for 'em wink.gif I love riffs like those in AC/DC.

-Improved Vibrato. Better use of it, and my own developed style.

-Improve my fingerstyle, just adding more and more songs. I want to get it to a higher level.

Furthermore, I want to keep on playing in between everything to keep progress with it, mainly by doing more and more GMC lessons.

My style would be varied. Going from soft blues, to hard rock. When I listen to music, I prefer rock, pop and eighties music. For instance, I love Toto!

When I play I prefer to use a more melodic approach. Lots of blues and stuff

I'v uploaded a little video with some sort of a Kaznie Medley Just some different stuff to show what I can. I also added a little improv. This realy was an improv, because after all the settings were right, I took it straight away, no overdubbing or whatsoever. The backing came from Siggum, so credits to him!

When I typed this text, it was a while ago. I've improved quit a bit, so now I'm into the same stuff, just a level higher wink.gif the most important thing in music is, for me, being able to play live. Meaning know some cool stuff, and being able to play it without any troubles or mistakes.

This is a video (and improvisation) I recorded back when writing the text. I now have a new guitar wink.gif

Video: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...ost&id=9439
Little improv: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...ost&id=9440

For updated stuff.. I'm in the video collabs. So to see my playing, check out the Rockabilly collaboration, around 4:45.

Hi guys,

Here is my entry for the MTP beginner part.

Video files

Here are a couple of videos which show my current level of playing (1st one more focussing on techniques, 2nd and 3rd one are more about 'feeling').

Christmas Rock Collab



Blues Ballad Collab



Slow Pentatonics Lesson



Audio files

Besides these videos I have participated in several collabs, of which I have attached the sound files in chronological order (it would probably also show how I progressed during the last months, and I don't even want to listen to some of the earlier ones anymore tongue.gif ).

Background

I have been playing the guitar effectively for about a year back in the early '90s, however lacked completely a proper lesson-plan etc etc. I was basically just trying to hit the strings and get proper sounds out of it (which to a certain extend even worked tongue.gif ). After this, I remained playing very minimal (sometimes once a month) for another 2 years, but then the guitars went to the attic.

Since about 1.5 years I have picked up my guitars again, and decided that this time things would go differently. I took lessons (which is extremely helpful getting the theory linked to the actual playing), but somehow it did not give me full joy. I came across GMC a while ago and since then I have developed myself quite a bit due to all the lessons, very valuable forum info and also the collabs. Since about 4 months I also play in a band, and am starting to write material for it smile.gif .

What do I want to achieve

I am interested in quite a few musical styles of which Jazz, Blues, Funk, Rock and Hard Rock are the most important ones. However, I would very much like to get more into other styles as I believe it will make me a better musician in the end.

In particular I am having quite some difficulties with several aspects of my playing (as compared to other parts), and I would love to improve those also in the MTP:

Lead

Sweep picking, arpeggiated alternate picking runs (at higher speeds), and in general shredding

Rhythm

Combining chords with lead lines (hybrid picking), especially developing them on my own (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSM3FL7zUdw).

Theory

Moving from knowing all the boxes of the major/minor scales, pentatonics and some of the modes towards 'on the spot' hearing which notes to play next (basically developing my ears more).

Although I would like to be able to playing some very fast runs if required, my ultimate goal is to become a good musician, and playing speed should only be a tool to reach that goal.


Finally, I do hope I will be selected for the MTP beginners as I certainly see all the benefits that come with it. Also, the actual obligation to show your progression on a regular basis will certainly be an extra stimulation to really work hard in achieving my long term goals.

Thanks for reading this awful long application smile.gif .

Roger

This first clip is from the collab I did for Muris' Blue Note in A.


This clip is my take on Sublime's Santeria solo.



I really need to work on my rhythm and theory. I've been playing for almost 8 years now and those two aspects of my playing aren't up to speed with my lead abilities.

I'd also like to work on techniques I've put off for way too long like tapping and sweep picking. I think this is a great idea and yet another reason why I love this site!

I would like to take a go at this.

I want to improve everything about my playing! Lead, rhythm, theory, speed, dexterity, technique, everything.
The kind of music that interests me is a heavier blues/rock type of thing. If you could blend Zakk Wylde, Karma to Burn and ZZ Top together, that would be close to my goal. I have music in my head that I want to be able to get out and record. Below is my clip from Ivan's Christmas Rock collaboration and it's probably the best hing I've ever done.

Thanks for your consideration!

I'd like to be considered for the beginner mtp I have a ton of bad habits that need addressing but most of all I could use a mentor who can help me understand theory and the basics of music. Here is a quick clip I threw together in a rush hoping to meet the deadline. No backing just me hacking up Eric Johnsons tune Cliffs of Dover. Yes there are a million flaws in here but I figure if I kept rerecording ..till all the sections were perfect ..well that would take a lil time hahaha anyways dont laugh too hard please



Oh and yes I am already on that not using my pinky thing haha

Hope I am in time to apply as a beginner on the MTP.

As the videos show I really am a virtual complete beginner and so any help, guidance and support I recieve will be greatly appreciated. These are the first ever videos I have made (I bought the cam yesterday especially for this) and so the quality isn't the best. I also quickly realised how difficult it is to play as well as you would hope whilst being aware that it is being filmed. Also its painful to see every little fault laid bare!

Attached File  MTP_SOW_Jan_o9.wmv ( 16.17MB ) Number of downloads: 218


Attached File  MTP_AN_Jan09.wmv ( 42.15MB ) Number of downloads: 327


Attached File  cage_shape.wmv ( 7.04MB ) Number of downloads: 213


It has taken me the past three months or so to realise that if I learn the basics such as cage patterns and some thory then playing becomes easier. I would hope that a mentor would be able to keep me on track with this.

If accepted I hope to become a much better guitarist able to hold together a half decent solo. I am keen to try out different techniques and styles and hope to develop a better understanding of theory. On thing in particular I would like to improve is my phrasing.

What can I offer in return. Well commitment and enthusiasm for sure and a determination to improve. Who knows in a couple of years I may be able to act as a mentor to beginners too.

I enjoy all types of music but really I am a rocker at heart. 1970s blues based rock is where my heart lies so I admire guitarists like Kossoff, Blackmore, Clapton, Townsend, Gilmore, Hendrix and of course Keef!! How I wish I could play like them!

Cheers!

Can't wait! If selected, will we have any say in our mentor? Or will it be decided for us?

Yeah, mine does that as well...i think pretty much the only way to fix this is to buy a really nice one...although sometimes you can sync them pretty well

I did buy a nice one... the logitech quickcam pro 9000 is what i have

I feel that if i had someone to tell me what to learn i wouldnt skip around learning this and that as much...

I would learn what they said to show them that i can learn it and try to learn it fast... now i just learn whatever pops in my head or ill play along with songs all night ...

Outlaw2112,
Sounds like you just need to organize your practice time and gear it towards what you want to learn, whether it be rhythm, lead, theory or whatever. Do you have just a digital camera that can record video? I tried the webcam thing to and got the same results you are describing.

I suffer from this too! Its a consequence of loving music! You have a look at something and say "wow thats cool" and then waste time learning a bit of that. Before you know it you are miles from what you were meant to be practicing!

Someone to kick you up the backside and help keep you focussed would be really useful.

I aim to try the beginner competitions and maybe even a collab to try to maintain a focus.


Persevere with the cam, your problem might just be that the frame rate (often 30 fps) is not fast enough to keep up with you!

You need to come up with a long term plan. Maybe you want to learn to play on of Muris's lessons or another awesome lesson here on GMC. Then you would come up with a practice routine that would allow you to do that. Once you accomplish that then you move on to another goal. What lesson here on GMC would you love to be able to play? I am always working on a couple of Muris's lessons it seems like. laugh.gif

I want to get into the mtp!
I now have my guitar for 2 years but I never played it that good. I always start some lesson and after 2 days I quit it.

So I dont have any skills, I can play a few songs but that's almost nothing, my technique is really bad! If you ask me to play something for a video I dont know what. I'm a real beginner. smile.gif

I want to do this because I HAVE to practice this and only if I do this I'll get better!

I played acoustic more, I can do the basics but have to work on them very good and with coaching this will go much faster.

Do you play electric? What lesson have you started and quit and why? Did you get frustrated? Not know how to break it down? Some of these lessons can be intimidating and you really need to break them down into bite size pieces. A lot of these lessons will take you months/years to master so you need to start slightly above your ability and work from there.

Jup I play electric, I've started a few lessons for example the Blues licks lesson. I didn't get frustrated but I just dont have a good discipline and if I get a mentor this will get better because I'll be forced to know them.

I think what really helps is to really try and organize your practice time. If you have 1 hour, 2 hours etc. you need to organize your time. Learning guitar is and ENORMOUS task and you need to approach it methodically. If you could play any lesson on GMC which one would it be? Look at that lesson and decide what you need to do to accomplish it and I would even suggest starting to learn it. Biggest key is to sit down and organize your time for maximum results. I spent years as a "noodler". I have made more progress in the last 5 months than the last 5 years just by organizing my time and consistently practicing. Just my 2 cents!!

Ye you're totally right about the schedule but I just want some personal help, the whole point of the mtp. smile.gif
The schedule will come pretty soon, and with the mtp added it would go like a blast! smile.gif

I would love to join the MTP My name is Glen I am 20, I am in the military I just picked up a guitar for the first time earlier this week. I have wanted to learn guitar since I was nine but never had the money for it. I feel like I need more structure to my practicing. I have plenty of time to dedicate to learning /practice I am free from 4pm till midnight mon-friday. and allday on weekends. (not much to do on base). In the long run my goal is to learn to play metal. That doesnt mean I am not open to other styles. Some bands that I am in to are Lamb of God, Amon Amarth, Metallica, The Black Dahlia Murder, As I lay Dying, Opeth, and Unearth. Thats just a few I can go on all day but would be pointless. I would be greatly appreciative of whoever would be willing to take time out of there life to help me learn guitar. Here is a video I made after going though the power chords lesson the first day with my guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9j7DcfZvE (It was out of tune my apologies.) Here are a couple of contact points to get a hold of me. E-mail [email protected]/ Aim glenwins12.

Well just in case it would be to late otherwise, I write my application now wink.gif

As You may know ( wink.gif ) my name is Marek. I played the guitar for few years already, but never practiced seriously/consistently. I rather learned the basic/barre chords to play and sing some songs, and also learned or tried to learn some favorite songs from tabs. Before joining GMC I was much more a classic guitar player ( so almost no guitar pick use and better skill at fingerpicking ), because when I bought my electric guitar, after few times playing on it, I concluded that I sucks horribly and will never be good dry.gif

Skill: here are links to my to latest uploads
1
2
I can play some tad more difficult lessons also.

Theory knowledge: what theory? blink.gif There are 6 strings on my guitar, pushing the string on one of the 24 frets will make the string to sound different than without pushing it...

Interest: improving at everything, I am not to excited about sweeping or tapping, but would also want to learn it a bit.

Music taste: well my favorite band is Blind Guardian. Still I love also many other bands, Metallica, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Demons and Wizards. All in all I am heavy/power/trash metal + rock + ballads lover.

Time: well really depends, there are weeks when I can work quite much, and some others when I will hardly be able to upload anything decent.

If its not too late I would like to get in this as well smile.gif .

My name is Andrew (surprise) and I am from Canada. I've been playing guitar on and off for about 3 years only really started playing within the last year. I really am starting to get serious about my playing and am currently searching for a bandmates in my area to start a group but the search is going very slow as my Musical tastes aren't very common in my area laugh.gif . I am going to structure the rest of my applications like Marek's as it was a nice concise layout laugh.gif .

Theory knowledge: I know the basics of theory i.e. the notes, what scales are, I know how they are constructed although sometimes I forget the formulas, I know where some of the notes are on the fretboard and can easily find them if I take a second to work it out. Know all the minor pentonic boxes and where the root notes are.

Interest: improving at everything, mostly composition and rhythm the lead stuff i've been working on all a long and I think I would benefit more from some phrasing, rhythm and theory the things kind of behind the scenes as opposed to light speed alt picking and sweeps laugh.gif

Music taste: This is where it gets tricky, I have diverse musical tastes. My favourite bands/Artists would inclue Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, James Brown, RHCP, Extreme, Jet, Lenny Kravitz, J.S Bach(not skid row tongue.gif ), Paginini, Mozart, any 80s hair metal, dream theater, rush, kansas, and sooo on .
I know this is a lot of different types of music but I really narrowed it down as far as I could haha

I am currently in class so I cannot post a vid, I will make one up later.
I can play Iron Maiden the trooper beginning to end ( both solos) keeping in time with the album as well as Crazy Train (studio) except there are a few hiccups while playing crazy train laugh.gif . I hope that this is some indication of skill level?

aw man, is this still open at all? I'm guessing its not since I saw the groups were up and a syllabus posted, but I figured there would be no harm in asking.
I am pretty much a real beginner at guitar, learned a couple things over the past year, but not much at all. I've definitely been looking for an opportunity like this.
If not, maybe next time around..

peace

Hi, I'm new to the forum it took me a few days to get a camera and setup everything to record. Here is a sample of my playing as of right now...

As for what I'm working on and could use help in... I'd like to improve on my melodic playing, timing, and also I want to learn how to record complete covers so I can build my repertoire, I have the software but I need some guidance in programming the drums etc. Focusing more on the actual guitar playing again, I would like to improve my technique and understand more about chord progressions so I can make more interesting backing tracks...

Cheers!

Well I will take you as one of my mentorees (students). Things where a little out of tune and you hit some wrong notes also, but I like you passion. We can fix the other things.

Send Smells and Andrew a PM and see what they think about me helping you. That is if you would like me to. smile.gif
