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.

I don't feel like playing at all, which might be due to the fact that I can't seem hit any note right today. Feel like I'm stagnating with the Rocking Tune and other things. Maybe I need a day or two away from guitar. I have been playing quite a lot lately. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Oct 2 2013, 10:13 AM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 7.676 Joined: 14-June 08 From: Odense, Denmark	On another note, I've been using sort of economy picking for ages, so my alternate picking isn't all that great in terms of...well, alternate picking through pieces that aren't straight 16th notes, or even just stuff that skip between strings. I kinda want to get back at that. So that every 16th note should alternate, even if not picked, if that makes sense. Example one is how I'd like it to be, example two is how I end up picking it: I guess it's not THAT big a deal, but I'd like to be able to think in alternate picking for consistency.

Oct 2 2013, 12:34 PM	Instructor Posts: 22.808 Joined: 14-June 10 From: Bucharest	Awesome Here's what I suggest - make a video in which you play slow - VERY slow and focus on playing the example by following the desired picking pattern. Focus on on minimal wrist movement on the right hand and moving the left one as little as possible away from the fretboard Let's see what you get, deal? And about the band, I heard the name many times but I never got a chance to listen to their music Will do it now tho! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It is crucial to practice in respect to beat one, as right now you don't have a landmark and it would be a tad difficult to implement this lick in a context if you can't hear it in respect to beat one. From this point on, the approaches are strictly up to you: - alternate picking will bring a more rhythmic approach to things - playing it with more legato will bring a fluid sound to it The choice belongs to you You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
