1. Yes, why not?
2. Hell yeah! Nothing beats learning a new technique and applying it on the guitar. 3. I hope it does. 4. I think it will...the more time you practice a technique the better you get? 5. No idea dude. Even the ones that have a level 2 are hard to get a perfect ten. 6. How about this tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5dYX1RZ49U 7. the one I mentioned above...But I can only play it at slow speed |

Thanks korblitz and Matt
 I kind of have more than usual practice time these days so I'm thinking what to keep my focus on, that's why I thought of asking for opinions

good questions! here you have my answers!
1. yes! it's a good choice. 2. It's not the only thing that you should do but it's important to do it. You should also work on exercises that help you to master the songs. 3. Definitely! Sometimes even more than exercises. 4. yes! just like practicing exercises. 5. This is a tricky questions, and it depends on the techniques used in the lesson. If it's a lesson level 4 about tapping and you've never played tapping, it can be too difficult. 6. There are lots of songs that includes shredding that you could choose. From Megadeth to Ozzy Osbourne, including all those heroes from the 80's like Vinnie Moore, Tony Mcalpine and even Steve Vai. 7. I think that one by Rata Blanca, an argentinean band very similar to Yngwie Malmsteen. -------------------- My lessons

Great reply
The long and the short of it is simply to pick songs that you want to play so that you are encouraged to play more rather than less. It's only natural to want to know the "Best Path" and takes years to find ones path and only looking back determine what worked "Best". So in short, play more, game/web surf/facebook less. You are trying to get as much time as possible without causing injury on your instrument at this point. Keep all the lessons you've learned so far in mind as you go and play things you want to play. The very best thing you can do for yourself at this point is simply not quit. Thus the picking of songs/bits that you dig Forcing oneself to play endless drills to a metronome can be maddening. So let your ear be your guide and learn things you think would be cool to actually play and try to play some every single day Todd QUOTE (korblitz @ Jun 28 2013, 03:19 PM)  1. Yes, why not? 2.

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jun 29 2013, 02:12 PM) Hey man I would recommend you to start working on various 'shred usual' techniques - alternate picking, legato, sweep picking, tapping and DO NOT neglect your articulation or riffing. Use various exercises or lessons here at GMC that you CAN learn quickly at your current level - trust me, the satisfaction you will get after learning an easier lesson, will be an important ingredient for the fuel that pushes you towards improving constantly. Make a list of your favorite songs that incorporate the idea of 'shred' in one form or another and analyze them in order to see which parts you can play NOW and which parts need development regarding a certain technique. Which are your favorite GMC lessons - let's say around level 3-4 focusing on the above mentioned techniques? Let's start from here! Cosmin For legato: Ben's Land of Legato series (https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Land-Of-Legato/) For sweeps: Lian's lesson "Sweeps: Major and Minor" (https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Sweeps_Major_and_Minor/) For tapping: Joe's lesson "Van Halen Tapping Style Beginner" (https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/van-ha...style-beginner/) For alt picking: Muris' lesson "Alternate Picking Thirds" (https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...picking-thirds/) This post has been edited by sammetal92: Jun 30 2013, 07:02 PM |

Mate, you just got yourself a job here Tell me, are you willing to learn and record the easiest one and place the vid here? We would all like to help out, so it doesn't matter how it sounds at first! I think your selection is nice and if you are ambitious and hard working you CAN nail these and learn to apply these concepts in your OWN playing - do we have a deal, young man?? |
