Ok so I will have been with GMC nearly two years and when I joined up I was completely brand new to the guitar. Over the past two years I have seen my skills progress well, and never felt bored with my practice routine.
I have mainly been practicing the harder lessons, level 8 & 9. This past year I have been concentrating on Muris's alternate picking lesson, Paul Gilbert Lesson no1, and most recently Marcus's neoclassical etude no2.
So, my picking skills I feel are strong, im accurate and im used to timeing changes. But Im not sure what to progress to next. Should I practice some more GMC lessons? or should I learn a peice of music that I like next.
I have avoided up untill now practicing non GMC stuff for two reasons:
1. With GMC lessons I can see the correct fingering (which to me is very important, as you dont get this on a random tab)
2. I have always seen good progress learning GMC solos and etudes, so not had much reason to change.
But i feel now is the time to branch out perhaps?
Im not at all into Metal (unless its like Racer - X style ), or even classic Rock. I do however LOVE Neo Classical like Yngwies Far beyond the sun, Adagio, Icarus Dream, or blue for example. I also totally dig "real classical" music on eletric guitar, much like alot of the bach peices Paul Gilbert plays on the Guitars from Mars video - im a total bach nut !
I sometimes wonder if I should be playing the piano or violin
So my question is, what would you Instructors and students recommend I progress to playing next?
