> 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.

Kidding about the chew, but maybe some PBR would be ok. smile.gif

Wow, I don't know what to say other than I appreciate that... you are too kind sir.

To answer the question.... Why am I so hard on myself? Honestly it is hard for me because I am not a "technical" guitarist, I don't even feel like a beginner. I have a co worker who just picked up the guitar last October and he already knows way more chords than I do yet he tells me that he wants me to teach him how to play. LOL... that's easy, I can tell him all I know in about 3 minutes. The rest is on the fly and by any creative salt I can muster.

I have to plink around like a blind rat in a maze to find where I need to be on the fretboard most of the time. The most I can tell you is a general idea of where each note starts on the frets and that is using the 6th string as my guide.... I don't know all of my chords or scales and I don't mean ALL as in the total number known to man, I mean literally that I only know a handful of chords LOL, and after I played them I probably couldn't name them... I just play by ear and feeling. So pretty pathetic, but when I do have the time to place a guitar in my hands, I don't usually spend that time on theory as it would be a lost cause. I wouldn't be exposed enough for it to stick.

So sometimes these collabs don't come easy to me, however for the creative side I am able to visualize what I want to hear, I'm just not "guitar smart" enough to translate through my fingers to the strings by saying ahhh yes, I can plug in an A Minor here or a G Major there. I need to have the guitar in my hand and just feel around in the dark. I've done this so long that sometimes I am able to fool people into thinking that I know what I am doing... literally like a blind man may know the layout of his house so it seems as if he can see where everything is as he navigates his way through, but if you move a chair he will trip on it.

If I know what key the song is in, like I said I just go to that general area and plink around the strings until it sounds right enough to me.

Now obviously I have a good understanding of some scales, but I don't really grasp any one of them enough to just run them up and down the neck with ease until after I figure out where everything is at that I want to play, or that matches a chord progression.

Now I'm sure I'm not the only person who plays like this, but this best answers your question. smile.gif

I have to play by ear, but most important for me is feeling. This backing for me struck a good feeling although I had a bit of a rough time translating it. I know you had the scale generator with the fret board showing the notes on the collab, and that helps, but I was still having a tough time translating out from my head to the frets.

So, I suppose that is about as deep as I can go with an answer. That is truly where I am at with my guitar playing. So my secret is out, I'm guitar blind! blink.gif

So it's a good thing I only play for fun... biggrin.gif

It means alot when I can actually come up with something that generates a compliment or two... especially since you guys are some top notch guitarists, and I don't mean just the instructors, but my classmates as well. You guys tearing it up is what keeps me motivated to drudge forward.

Thanks again Cosmin. Made my evening smile.gif

Mate, if your blindness is the same as the one that this man has:



Then keep being blind and develop the eyes of your ears smile.gif

I think you have chosen a great set of notes, you have a great tone and touch - why don't you work in that direction alongside learning the language of your instrument? You can become very good at it!

That's mostly why I chose to join GMC was to better understand these things. It's a slow process for me... Firstly, I'm slow smile.gif and second, is having the time to study the process. So, whether I get there or not... I still enjoy the collabs and the community.

I have learned a lot from by brethren here. I'm mostly glad to just have other musicians to interract with... that helps me more than anything. wink.gif

Thanks HB, You'd think that I would be playing a banjo rather than electric guitar. Go figure... huh.gif

Howdy Cosmin!

In between all of my singing extravaganza today, I managed to record something for this collab!

I focused on the metal parts, everything I put over the country parts sounded awful biggrin.gif

Other than that, I subscribe to everything Mark said in his long post...it is exactly the same for me Mark!
