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.

This is what I practiced Sunday:
(Morning) 1 hr: Acoustic guitar, chords, few scales and just playing around. (Evening) 5 min Warm-up with C Major scale up and down neck. Includes patterns using 1, 3, 5; 1, 3, 5, 7 over each chord in the scale Warm-up exercises: 10 min https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Arpegg...rkshop-Level-1/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...-marcus-siepen/ (Exercise 1 and 3) Lessons: 10 min Worked on timing by revisiting REC video and playing https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/neocla..._for_beginners/ Free play: 1 hr Worked on various rhythm patterns using octaves, palm muting, galloping, bending to pitch, 2 string inverted chords. Tuned down to Drop D and played around with different chord progressions and adding small accents or notes. Just had a relaxing day. Plan for Monday evening is open for suggestions. Looking for the next lesson to tackle. Was thinking about https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Vinnie...yle-patterns-1/ or https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Variat...in_C_Minor_pt1/ What do you think? Maybe something different? |

Hey Michael! The practice schedule looks good! The two lessons are very good for tackling and I think you can add some ear training to your practice, man! Tell me have you ever tried it? It will do a ton of good on your playing!

To let you know the music I like to listen too and would like to be able to play someday on my journey:
http://grooveshark.com/s/Traces+Of+Grace/3pwfS0?src=5 http://grooveshark.com/s/Wisdom/3pwfJW?src=5 Ultimately in 5 years: http://grooveshark.com/s/De+Machina+Est+Deo/3pwfNa?src=5 I like this type of orchestral rock...the pic of you playing with that orchestra actually inspired me to practice even more. If there are things here that are not helpful let me know, I just figured the more you know about what I am doing the better you can help direct me. Let me know if I go overboard on info! |
