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.

Alright! So, I will say 10 days for the tasks below - you tell me if that's a reasonable deadline or if you feel that these are too difficult
 Alternate picking: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ Legato: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...eginner-Legato/ Rhythm: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...c-metal-rhythm/ Articulation: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Vibrato-Odyssey/ Ear training/ fretboard knowledge: 1) Spot all the C notes on the neck and memorize their sound in the various octaves where they are found 2) Set your metronome at quarter notes to a very slow tempo 3) Pick each C note on one quarter note and sing it in the same time 4) Increase the speed until your fingers will automatically go at the C notes at higher tempo 5) Go back to the slow tempo 6) Hit the first C note and follow through the rest of the exercise as before, with the only difference that you will SING the rest ofthe C notes instead of playing them  Let's rock!

Hey man!
Much much better I can see improvement!For the basic metal rhythm guitar - It is ok as an ensemble, but it's a bit rigid in its interpretation - it somehow requires more groove! Don't get scared! This sort of thing comes in time with lots of practice, so I think you're on the right path. usually after developing your internal clock, it's gonna be easier and easier  For the vibrato - keep practicing it! It's correct but it can be better - time will help once you develop a stronger fretting hand Picking hand basics - the hand still looks a bit tense but you solved the problem of the 16ths!! Good work mate! Take care of the legato lesson - you rushed the tempo! In the first take, you did better Alright! I say, let's move a bit forward with the following tasks: AP: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Arpeggios/ - focus on getting them as clean as possible Legato: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/hammer..._for_beginners/ - one step above the previous one Vibrato/ bending: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Vibrato-Odyssey-2/ Rhythm: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Metal-For-Rockers/ Let me know what you think and also, please keep practicing the previous ones, ok?
