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.

Hey mate
 I am always open for business  All you have to do is ask and then work hard!I think we can begin straight away with these two lessons, to get you in shape in the directions you asked about: Speed and stamina: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Stamina-School/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Stamin...-2-Downpicking/ These may look simple, but they are good starting points to get you warmed up for the next things  String bending and control - I don't remember quite well, but have you tried my Voice of your guitar lesson? If not, you can try both of them https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/The-Vo...Of-Your-Guitar/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/The-Vo...-Your-Guitar-2/ I tell you what - do you think you can tackle these lessons in 2 weeks time? I am throwing you a challenge here, in order to motivate you even more to get back in the game seriously!Do we have a deal, sir? Cosmin |

Sounds doable.
For the voice of your guitar lesson, can you explain how you chose the scales/modes that you did? I don't really understand the scale mode concept. |

QUOTE (TreyDeschamp @ Jun 19 2014, 10:33 PM)  Could you explain harmonization to me? I basically think of it as just harmonizing scales together in synch with the backing notes. And I"m talking about the shift from the bend at the end of the first video to the first bend at the end of the second video. Hey bro Well, harmonizing means deriving vertical structures of 2 or more notes from each scale degree, by taking care that those notes will only be a part of the scale or more you are working with. Basically, you are creating chords from each step of the scale. In order to understand the idea better, I will recommend this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads..._Series_Part_1/ It explains the whole concept AND  in order for you to prove that you understood I want you to apply the harmonization on the E major scale - as in the recommended lesson it is done in the C major scale. Do we have a deal, young man?About the bend - I assume it is because you don't see the passing from the first video to the second - you just have to hold the bend and release it when the part explained in the second video begins - like this: This post has been edited by Cosmin Lupu: Jun 20 2014, 08:24 AM |

Currently I'm in the Professors Theory Guide. I'm on learning to write scales in the quick start program.

QUOTE (TreyDeschamp @ Jun 22 2014, 07:51 PM) Currently I'm in the Professors Theory Guide. I'm on learning to write scales in the quick start program. I got there If we were to sum up a general rule for the major scales - we could state that you can't have 2 notes sharing the same name in a natural major scale and that pretty much sums it up, if you are to ask me. But foremost, have you understood how to form a natural major scale? That is a very important aspect of music theory and I would begin everything from that point, in order to get you into theory and into applying it in what you already know This link here - https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=47641 explains things, so please read and let's play around with some exercises afterwards - deal?Hehe Matey, look at second 0:44 in video 3 - that's the one explaining the second part You'll see clearly that I am bending the 8th fret on the B string. Say, are you using the slow videos to learn the tune? Because everything is played very slowly in there and with angles for each hand. I have a little suggestion for ya Rely on your ears and not on tabs - especially here, where you have the exact playing slowed down and exposed in different angles It will not only train your ears but show you the mechanics of the hands. All you have to do is watch and listen Glad you like the lesson bro! It's a line I made up with my first serious band almost 10 years ago!
