Derper's Holy Grail Of Axe Knowledge |

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.

Feels so good to be back!! I love staying busy, and gigging out live....but I miss my hardcore GMC practice!!
Today, I worked on the Vivaldi lesson (again) to get it up to speed, focus on picking, and also to work on the very minor things that are holding me back from achieving full speed. There are just little things, like a reach here to there, so I started to hit those individually again. usually, I had been just playing through the whole thing at 75% speed.... realized that I need to go back and iron out the detail. It helped a ton. Here's a vid, although I feel like I was playing it WAY better about an hour before I shot the video. Also, I started having cord issues, so that was it for that vid. The problem is, I was focusing TOO MUCH on picking hand, so I sound "choppy" and slightly off rhythm (micro pauses again?). Whereas earlier in the day, I was playing it super "smooth" at that speed. BUT, the picking hand is way better than the early days!! Now, I need BOTH!! Other than that, I watched Ben's vid chat, and worked a little on those figures/riffs/exercises. THEN, I started studying the end of this "Sweeping Etude" video.... I can't sweep (yet) but I really want to learn that end riff!! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...picking-etude/# Gonna take time, but I'll get there eventually. Since it's all hammer-ons and pulloffs (except the first and last note) it will build hand strength as well. THEN, I started learning how to sweep! I wanted to shoot a vid, but CORD PROBLEMS(!!), plus I'm just starting to sweep so I'm pretty bad at it still. I'm learning it from this video: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...weeping-basics/ And THEN (slow day at the mattress shop!!) I started working on your "Voice of your Guitar" lesson. I just started on it today, so near the end I totally lose my place...and the phone rings!! Saved by the bell!! Anyway, figured I'd send a vid anyway....won't take long to get that up to "REC" quality, and once I learn the first half, the second half is just an octave up (I believe). Although I'm working on so much right now, I don't feel "overloaded" or that I have spread myself too thin (yet). If I do, I will back off of a lesson for a while. We've got another EMULATOR gig May 19th and 1 rehearsal before. I really want to start incorporating some shreddier stuff into my solos. Once the vid comes out, you'll see why....it really highlights my "weaknesses" as a player, whereas my funk band encompasses my strengths. But I love it all, and am happy knowing that I can, and will, overcome any challenge and I will only get better, every day!! Thanks for the help Coz! I have a feeling, after I get these vids back, you'll REALLY get some ideas on how to get me "melting-faces" asap!! End of the work day....heading out!! Day off tomorrow, but still gonna play, practice, band practice and maybe even jump on a collab tomorrow! So glad to be back to GMC. -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |
