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.

I have a seven-string Dean vendetta, and a Crate amp because my brother took my fender amp QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jul 26 2012, 07:40 AM) Howdy Grace Welcome to your thread!

Hey Cosmin! How are you doing? I haven't been able to record anything yet unfortunately but hopefully this week I can, I really hope so. So I should play a song on a stereo and play along to it?

I think we can start working on stuff here, miss The fact that you switched a few of the phrases is not a bad thing as long as you follow the drums. See, in this style of music, the phrasing is very tightly connected to the drumming - this is why all those bands sound incredibly tight! Alright then, here's what I suggest: 1) We focus on riffing, which you are obviously into, as long as you like all that modern metal stuff 2) Theory, which you will need in order to understand what you are playing 3) Lead - are you into lead playing? If yes, what techniques do you like and are you experienced with a certain one? 4) Composition - do you like writing your own stuff? So, what do you think about all this?
