Indeed they do
 I found something for ya - something old  A few years ago, I hosted a series of video chat sessions based on sequeencing scales You may find the ideas in the GP files attached to these threads pretty interesting, I think https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=592204 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=593394 See what sort of runs you can make out using the principles behind the licks in these threads - they are all based on odd groups of notes

Hi Cosmin,
Thanks for this detailed information. Not only it is crystal clear but I could use these runs for the task.

QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Dec 4 2014, 09:39 PM)  Yes that lick is a cool choice, and yes it is also a good idea to just focus on the very first phrase. If you can get one right, the coming ones will be much easier. It will be very interesting to hear how this works out for you. Hi Cosmin, A long time has passed since our last communication but I'm working on many guitar stuff in parallel and none comes easy for me at this stage. I have recorded the first samples trying to play the discussed lick but I can see that I'm not there yet. I just thought it will be nice to send you something so that you can see where I am at this point. So, I have sent you two very similar takes. Take 2 has a stronger beginning as it should be but it does not sound that clean and I am not so sure about the timing with the backing track. Also the first bend is problematic in both takes as I should play (bend->slight release->bend->vibrato) instead of (bend->vibrato). I 'll take it slower before I record the next takes so as to get used to it. I appreciate any comments you may have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0hbOrTE6Ok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k149hUhnmGc @Cosmin: I haven't forgotten about our drill, I am still working on some final licks and I hope I will have it all in place soon. |

Thanks a lot for the update Aris - I was going to ask you how this worked out.
First - wow this should have a major impact on your playing, have you started noticing it yet? If you have the patience to work on a detailed level to nail nuances like this - it is your fast ticket to pro playing. So I think this is extremely promising. When comparing with Piotrs playing (part 5 here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Slow-Blues-Phrasing/ ) the biggest difference is your hand and thumb position. And this is probably the reason why your vibrato sounds very different from Piotr's. Can you notice how he uses the lower part of his index finger as a leverage point?  Having in mind our previous discussion and your earlier playing examples - I must say phrasing and bend accuracy is very promising here (especially take 2). It would be interesting to know if you already sense any difference when jamming? |

Hi Kristofer,
Sorry for taking so long to send this next take but I am trying to practice my all the stuff in my routine equally and since my time is very limited I tend to go more for the stuff I feel more confident with. Perhaps, it should be the other way round. Since we talked about it last time, I believe I have become more sensitive to the feel of using different techniques and going after more specific feel. Regarding this take, I still notice that my first bend needs a little more sustain during the vibrato. I have also used the attached classic rock sound patch with tube screamer (very light gain and slightly over mid tone) to make the sound more lively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbBI1e0X4tE @Cosmin: This task has taken too long already, but at least now I have all the parts down, so its only a matter of playing it decently.

Excellent Aris, your hand looks so much more comfortable now!
If you haven't already, I would recommend you to join the journey most of us are travelling - which consists of the following: 1 learn something new 2 record it (either by jamming around with the idea over a backing or by playing the exact lick you learned) and determine what you can improve for your next recording. Repeat ad infinitum. And why not join the ongoing collab? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=54081 Very well done!

QUOTE (Aris @ Mar 23 2015, 04:28 PM) I 'll do my best with the deadline as well. I guess I understood the date correctly: 08-April-2015 Exactly! I hope to see you there
