I was wondering
how fast (in hours spent) are you on nailing a GMC lesson, by this meaning:
- Understanding what you are playing - technically and theoretically
- Being able to execute things with flow and as good as possible at the slowest tempo available (slowest backing track)
- Bringing the lesson up to the original speed, keeping the execution as before - clean, in time, tight and expressive
- Recording the lesson for a REC take?
You'll probably pick your maximum level for certain for the involved difficulty
but by this I'm trying to figure out how everyone's clock is ticking
-1. It is very hard to say, it all depends on what level of difficulty the song/sequence is. But I would say pretty fast, the theoretical and technical part is the easiest part, being able to execute it is a whole diffrent story though.
-2 To do it right away slow after examining the sequence in question? Sometimes, it all depends on the level or difficulty of course.
-3 weeks, months, if it is difficult enough, and something completely new to my "playingstyle library".
-4 Never ready to do that, I'm never satisfied with my playing
It might be worth mentioning for your little experiment that: What I do in my free time in life has a huge impact on how fast I learn things on the guitar. If I just sit at home and practice by myself without any recording or rehearsing during the weeks it goes alot slower to progress. But If I have a full on studio schedule where I record guitars every day, and rehearse in between thoose hours my learning process is boosted about 40%(Wild guess of course, but my gut tells me it should be around 40%
). I guess it all has to do with how focused I can get when I record compared to when I'm 100% relaxed at home "Just practicing" even though I really try to focus and do my best. Its a mystery!
