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.

Im working on the lead parts, Im not entirely happy with them yet. Still got the verse to redo and the drum sound to improve, but slowly getting there. One thing I'm kinda stuck with are the harmonic sounds in the intro and the solo section. Any ideas?? I cant seem to get that sound. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Plus the know how! I'll keep at it though As for the harmonics, I was just going to add separately like you said. Just haven't found em yet.

Still not entirely happy with the Lead parts and i haven't been able to get those harmonics yet either. I'll work on it the next few days and do some tweaks here and there and we'll be all done!

Congrats once again I think this sounds very good and I daresay the thing that doesn't satisfy you, but you can't quite put your finger on it, is the greatness that you want to hear I know, because I have the same problem - well, this is it with home recording If you nail the harmonics, I think this is about ready, am I right?

May 13 2013, 01:27 PM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 380 Joined: 3-October 11 From: Freiburg, Germany	Hey Cosmin, So I've done the last couple things to the track. I got the harmonics done, they're not quite right but its the best I could do. I've gotten to a point with this track where I dont really know how to make it sound better or how I want it to sound, and the more I do to it, the worse it starts to sound. I don't have the ability and knowledge yet so I'll call it a day on this one and move on. Tim You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And here's what my friend said: For the conditions you described, it sounds good with the following observations: - the hihats are too loud in the beginning and then a bit too quiet and maybe a bit too harsh regarding the sound. - maybe the snare could use a little reverb Uh oh, I just noticed - at 02:06 - there's a little issue with a forgotten snare there I totally agree with you man and I really think you did a pro job on this one. Shall we choose another song, or would you like to try something else for a change? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
