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.

So I tried the foot tapping and it has helped slightly, but like most important things (metronome, backing tracks, etc) I have failed to use it/them until now so it will take a little time getting used to you like you said.
This might seem like a silly question but my foot gets really tired after a few measures, is this because I'm doing it wrong or because I'm not used to doing it? And on a side note, as I mentioned earlier I took the arms off my computer chair but what I failed to realized is that the arms were what held the back on so as soon as I plopped my tookus down the back fell off Now I have myself a really comfy stool!!! EDIT: On another side note, I created a basic drum loop to practice my lesson and when I was done I came up with this quick using the same notes from the lesson: https://soundcloud.com/stortzmusic/riffin After 50s it was kinda just improv riffin so the picking is pretty sloppy. I was just wondering what you think overall? Thanks! This post has been edited by Chris S.: Oct 9 2014, 05:14 AM |

Hey buddy!
Thank you for your kind thoughs and for the smile you just put on my face I'm in a coffee shop in Budapest, after seeing Tesseract and Animals as Leaders last evening in a club here and I am full of musical energy! Keep tackling those triplets focusing on counting and seeing that each group of three notes fits equally over each beat, ok? Now, you know pretty much the important elements in what regards the major scale and I totally recommend the next series of lessons, in order to get you acquainted on building triads and learning the notes on the neck with this occasion - please take a look on these lessons and see how the theoretical notions that you know apply in them What say you? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads..._Series_Part_1/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads..._Series_Part_2/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads..._Series_Part_3/ |

So I've come to the conclusion that this one is going to take me a while
I haven't really ever formed chords up and down the neck so I'm gonna have to take my time making sure everything is fluent and my notes are ringing through clearly. However, I did run across a new problem relating to my guitar. I recently put a new bridge on my strat (it has a super fat trem block for more sustain) however the saddles were set up horribly! I set most of them up however the low e string won't budge. When I play the very last C triad on the 4th 5th and 6th strings it sounds horrible and when I clipped my tuner on the C note on the low E string is halfway between C and C#. I moved the saddle as close as it can go towards the fretboard but it changed nothing Any suggestions? Also, Since this lesson is going to take me a while I started working on this with any spare time I have when I'm finished with the triad lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Altern...king-Workout-2/ Gab recommended it in my REC take. It's going a long pretty well, so you might see a video update for this one before the triad one |
