Hey Gab!After listening so many times this song I can say that it is in E Major Key.I am pretty sure that the chord progression involves a modulation...and the chords are D5-A5-F#5-E5.

Ok! So this is the new song to analyze:

Hi Vince! This is so awesome!! smile.gif The chords are perfect!! Some of them are major or minor but by now identifying power chord is enough and a good step forward. smile.gif

Talking about the tonality, you are close, it's E major, but not the most known or commonly used major mode. It's a different mode. Let's analyse it a bit:

These are the notes that form E major scale:

E F# G# A B C# D#


The chords that you've heard are: D5 - A5 - F#5 - E5


Everything is ok, except that D5 because we don't have D root on E major scale. E major scale is also known as Ionian mode and it's one of the 3 major modes that derive from a major scale. The other two ones are Lydian and Mixolydian.

Check out E mixolydian;

E F# G# A B C# D

As you can see, D appears there as well as the other notes from the progression so I believe that the progression is in E mixolydian tonality.

If this stuff is completely new for you or if you have some unclear knowledge about modes, please check the following thread and let me know if you have some questions:

Excellent! smile.gif

Dave likes to use modal progressions, mostly Lydian but in this case appears one of the most used in rock Mixolydian. Bands and musicians that have USA folk influences uses this mode a lot, for ex: Slash / GN'R, Zakk Wylde, Rolling Stones, etc...

Hi Vince, don't worry about the improvisation course schedule. The idea is that you take your time to master each of the topics, and that's why I created a thread for your, where there are no news... sad.gif

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=52915


You can start again with module 1 and post some recording there. What do you say?

Hi mate, this sounds great! Please post there recording of your random practice just to check how the things are evolving. Dedicate some time every day, if it's possible at least 30 minutes of improvisation practice.

Start slowly. Don't try to make amazing melodies at first. Practice using random notes, playing the sequences or arpeggios up and down. Very slow melodies. You fingers can go faster than your mind so now your fingers need to be patient and wait to your mind to get use to this techniques. smile.gif

Hi Vince. You are not on the right track from the beginning. The tune is in D minor, and D minor is the first chord. Please try to learn the intro arpeggios, no matter if you are not sure about the name of the chords, but try to learn each note played and tab it with guitar pro, is it possible?

Hi Gab!I am so sorry that i got it wrong sad.gif I will try the way you recommended even though I have no experience with guitar pro.
Here is a quick recording of the alternate picking lesson.

Hi mate, thanks for the update. I can see that you are doing a good job with this lesson that seems to be very effective for your Alternate Picking technique. The first thing that I would improve on this one is your tone, I don't know if it's the camera video or what, but it's a bit weak and is lacking sustain, I also think that the EQ could be warmer (less treble, more bass & mids).

About your playing, it's ok to use palm muting in the lower strings, but for any reason the notes played on the higher strings are also cut too early and sound like with a staccato effect. Try to make those notes longer to let your playing sound smoother.

This lesson is very demanding at first but it's very useful so please keep on practicing it. The next thing to have in mind is how you manage dynamics, and off course the tone that you get, not only because of the settings used, also from your fingers and pick.

Keep on the hard work! wink.gif
