Hi Slickster!

This is our thread to start working together. At first I'll share here some important info about you to have it as reference:

Styles: Blues, Metal, Neoclassical

Influences: Steve Vai, Joe Satriani & David Gilmour

Guitar goals: Well rounded guitar player, being able to play tight rhythm and improvise over backing tracks.


Before we start, it would be really helpful for me to see you playing. Could you please share any video or audio of you playing the stuff that you usually practice/play?

Hi mate, great to know that you are enjoying your stay at GMC!

About the improvisation course, please remember, you can join any of my courses at any time, you just have to notify me. You can work on the assignments from the improvisation course and share your recordings here or at the original thread.

About using metronome, what is exactly the problem with it? do you have any recording? If you use guitar pro files, you can turn on the metronome and listen to the lesson notes over it. It can be a good help to know exactly how to play the parts over metronome.
