I like how this sounds! And creating a song collab from this one sounds like a great idea!

It is awesome! (and very good to practise scales in each key) If you want to start a collab it would be a great thing.... In the future I will make much more piano backings....

Feb 19 2016, 10:36 AM	Learning Apprentice Player Posts: 174 Joined: 15-July 15 From: Germany	Hi Gab.... I am still practising vibrato, bendings, alternate picking, etc. I hope I can rec a lesson next week.... but it takes time to improve all These techniques.... One question: You often write in assessments "Your tone could be warmer...." (as in Phils last rec) How can I make the tone "warmer"? What should I use to make it warmer? ....and many thx again for this unbelievable awesome result at the piano collab!!!! We Need a new collab! A day without a GAB-Collab is a lost day!!!

Feb 19 2016, 01:26 PM	Instructor Posts: 36.043 Joined: 3-March 07 From: Argentina	Hi Chris, there is a combination of things that can help to make your tone sound warmer. The faster way to try is experimenting with EQ. You can try adding bass and a bit of mids, or you can also try lowering treble and/or prescence. If this changes don't help to get what you want, I recommend experiment changing something of this: - head used: You can try other amps to see if the initial color is warmer. - cabinet: The cabinet choice can also affect the EQ balance. - Adding a pedal. I sometimes add a tube screamer or rat to give a different vibe to my tone. - Experimenting with the mic choice and position. The sound that you get with a dynamic sm 57 can be very different compared with a condenser. The tone is build up by the sum of all these things. That's what makes it so complex but amazing. Experiment, record, listen to your solos, compare with other guitarists. We are always in the search of the perfect tone. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I want to insert it in the rec zone to improve my last bad result. What do you think? I am still practising vibrato, bendings, speed, collabs, etc.....

Mar 9 2016, 02:15 PM	Instructor Posts: 36.043 Joined: 3-March 07 From: Argentina	Hi Chris! Good job. This lesson is sounding really good! Your bending is on pitch and vibrato starts to feel more natural and related with the backing track. It's good to continue playing this one in order to feel more and more comfortable. It's also a good idea to create your own variations of the solo over the backing track. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Mar 11 2016, 08:45 PM	Instructor Posts: 36.043 Joined: 3-March 07 From: Argentina	Hi Chris, I've received your video. I noticed that you are not holding your pick with the tip of your right hand thumb. I think that you can get more precision if you hold your pick more like this: link. The movement that you are doing seems to be right, starting from your wrist, and not moving your fingers, however your hand doesn't look comortable. Besides the most musical lessons that you are practicing, I think that you'll find these exercises helpful and effective to train your alternate picking technique: ITC There you'll find the exercises that helped me to polish my technique so adding the Alternate picking exercises to your diary routine will help a lot. The first lessons (3, 4, 5, 6, 11,13) are more to adjust movement, then 15 is for speed. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

With your feedback I have noticed that I sometimes hold the pick not correct... F***K, such beginner mistakes after 16 months playing the guitar..... The next weeks I concentrate only on alternate picking (your exercises) and my daily guitar gym..... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have very advanced students that come to class for the first time and we have to adjust the way they hold the pick to expand their technique limits.

Since I hold the pick as you have shown in your pictures its getting much more better with the alternate picking! The control is better and the wrist and the forearm are not so cramped.
