Hi Vince! Welcome to our thread for Gab's Army where I will help you to design guitar plans to achieve your music goals.

At first I will share here your goals as reference:

"My guitar goals are to master at least 5 styles of music and start a band in the near future.I have a job that allows me to have a lot of free time so my main focus is to benefit and learn guitar at a high level.I can practice 5-6 hours per day and more in the week-end.As music styles I am attracted to blues and rock ballads but also metal is ok.My weakness is improvisation,i tried only 2 times but i left this idea after i saw that my fingers were like 1 km from the fretboard so i started to work and get my fingers closer and now everything it's ok.I would like to learn improvisation,rythm and ear training in the same time,day by day,so a practice skedule would be so nice."

So the current list is:

- Learning 5 music styles (Blues, Rock, Metal... )
- Start a band
- Learn to improvise
- Master Rhythm
- Ear training



Could you please give me some more info?

- Your favorite musicians and bands.
- What do you know about theory?
- Do you have any audio or video of you playing?
- Are you able to record videos of you playing?

Cool! Great to hear from you here! Welcome officially to GMC Forum! smile.gif

Our first goal would be to have a video of you playing. What about choosing a lesson from GMC archive that you feel you can play, learn it and record it?

Maybe a blues lesson? Click HERE.

hehe I think that I know that guy! tongue.gif

It's a good choice. Every Time I learn a new lesson at GMC I follow the next steps:

1. Check the scales suggested by the instructor, listen to the backing and try the scales over it.
2. Learn video part 1 from the lesson. Practice it until I can play it at tempo.
3. Try the part over the backing track, in different parts. I listen how it sounds over the different chords and analyze why the instructor played those notes, what's the relationship between the chords from the progression and the notes from the solo.
4. I create variations that make it fit over any part of the backing. I make it evolve, and combine it with some other phrases from my own.
5. Start working on the following video parts and do steps 2, 3 and 4 with this one.
6. I combine everything over the backing.
7. Improvise over the backings with the learnt licks, variations and my own ideas.


This means that for me learning a lessons isn't just copying the instructor's playing. I try to make those licks and ideas of my own. You don't have to always do all these steps, but have them in mind and try to tend to this type of work.

hahaha yes, I can! tongue.gif

My way to learn many lessons on 1 week is learning a new part every day, practice it, and the following day connecting it to a new part. This means that you learn part 1 on Monday, part 2 on Thursday and connect it with part 1 and so. This is how it works for me. Does it make sense?

Hi Vince! Good job! You are playing these parts with a good tempo. You just have to be careful with your right hand palm muting because sometimes the notes sound too muted, and the pitch/note isn't clear. Experiment with the position of your palm, move it closer to the bridge and see how the sound changes. Please tell me your conclusions.

Hi Vince! Thanks for the update! The licks are sounding good, you are doing a good use of dynamics on this ones. There are two important things to concentrate on during your next hours of practice:

- Timing: Mostly the first video but alto the others have timing issues. Practice using the guitar pro, or over the main video to be sure that you are playing the licks tight.

- Bending: Your bends aren't precise, you don't reach the correct pitch most of the times. Work on it!
