Emptyword's Thread, for Gab's Army |
HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* 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?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hi mate! Great stuff!
Well, there are many options to record yourself. Many students use their cellphone to record videos here and then use any video editor to replace audio from camera. In order to get your videos soon here, it's ok if you record them with your phone and manage to get a decent sound so I can check your current playing and give you the first assignments. Then, you can explore the best option for you. Please check out this video: Some suggestions are only for windows, but you can learn the process and find an alternative for MAC. -------------------- My lessons

That's a killer addition! Thanks Cursin! So you don't need an extra software to sync audio and video, you can do it in Reaper, using the same project. That's smooth!

Hi Gab,
Thank you, I've just recorded a super quick intro to Welcome to Dying of BG, please bear with me as it is a bit rushed and all that I wanted to show you is approx my level so we can have a planning. Have in mind that I've always been a rhythm guitar player, I can handle riffs but I really need working on my solos as they are the thing I've practiced the least. Hope this lets you have an idea of how (bad) I play the guitar and where should I start! Introduction |

Excellent mate!! You did a great job finding out how to make your guitar video!!
Ok, you have a good rhythm base there! You are playing very fast power metal stuff. We'll work on your rhythm but first we need to polish your lead technique. Let's start with this 2 lessons that may seem easy but they are essential to start focusing on different aspects of your technique like hands position, movements, relaxation, posture, picking, vibrato, cleanness and off course timing. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/neocla...loforbeginners/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ Please check these ones and let me know if you have any question or need any more help. -------------------- My lessons

I think that you can share videos playing the lessons in around 2/3 days to get some early feedback and then we can see how to continue.

Hi Gab,
Nice to be back! I wished I could go a bit faster at least but it's difficult with two small kids. Anyway hope that I can make progress eventhough I'm not practicing as much as I thought (min 1 hour a day) I'm reaching more of 30-45 min a day. Here you have the hand picking lesson, please let me know your thoughts. Many thanks! https://youtu.be/kweRnHlRAKc |

PS: I've noticed that the close up camera records a bit out of sync. Let me know if you need me to re-do any of the takes!
