Hi Uncleskillet and my fellow mentees.

Just wanted to say that I am really pleased that you are going to be my mentor. I have watched what you have been doing with Skennington and like the fact that you dont let him get away with much! lol I need a mentor to keep me focused as I tend to jump aound from one lesson to another!

I guess the time zone gap between us might slow things a little but Im sure that we can get round that.

By the way my real name is Tony.

Looking forward to getting started.

Thanks for the kind comments on my collab upload. I really appreciate it Tony.

Its funny you picked that lesson to work on because I was looking at that last night and was wondering what you would think about it. If you want to work on this then go for it. Your right, I don't think you should pick lessons you can play or that are easy. I want you to pick things that are challenging and have content that you feel will help you. This lesson has some nice licks that you can incorporate into your playing. Good choice!

I would like use to look at the 5 Am pentatonic boxes, how we can link them together and get you fingers moving around a little smoother (all over the neck). In you last mp3 upload it seemed like you started to have a few problems with the faster licks and the lesson (really it is an exercise) below will help use fix this. Also it will help free your mind and keep you from being stuck playing in just 1 or 2 boxes. The lesson is a level 6. I just want you to get to the point where you can just play it at 80 - 90bpm with a metronome (don't worry about full speed right now) this will make a huge difference in your playing and how you look at creating your own licks.

I understand that you don't have much time to practice. We need to make the practice time you have count right! If you only have an hour to practice then for right now I want you to spend at least 30 minutes (half of what ever time you have to practice) to memorize this lesson and practicing it at a slow speed to get your fingers lose and moving. Gradually increase your speed but make sure you are picking everything clean. If you have trouble with the metronome or getting the timing down please just let me know and we will get things taken care of. I would be more than happy to upload a short video to address any questions or problems you may have if you feel it will help, but you have to let me know whats going on. Deal? wink.gif

Here is your exercise. Enjoy!. smile.gif

"Think of a guitar solo as a paragraph. You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

Great choice Jeff, Thanks!

I hadnt seen this lesson before and would probably been put off by the level 6! But I'm definately up to give it a try!

I'll get on to it tonight after work.

Thanks again.
