Its so discouraging at times to play the most simplistic of patterns. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Well, i couldn't do it! Even slowly i just couldn't play it i was so useless. But of course now, i could play something like that instantly You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

When I manage to play something I couldn't do before, the next hard task is in front of me and that feeling is always present. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm doing the Pentatonic Workshop of Ivan's and I watching him do it and it looks so easy. I can do some patterns easily but other I struggle with.

Also depending on the problem , you can try doing some exercises that will engage similar movements (also you can try some finger dexterity exercises).That way you'll get through that pattern in no time!

I had a breeak through tonight and was able to do the patterns. Slowly but able to get through them I think a lot of my problem is that I need to slow down. I keep wanting to speed things up and get to that next level quickly. Boy I wish I was there already. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I was recording lesson for GMC, not very difficult one, and I couldn't play it properly for 3 hours. Then I went to sleep and the first thing in the morning I picked up guitar and recorded it from the 1st take. It's good to make a break sometimes.

If it was not difficult, how come it takes the former Shred champion of England (or is it Britain) 3 hours??????? I am pretty sure that all shed champions in that country can play pretty well. It was hard Emir. Sure, not hard to just get though it and keep up. But to play songs like that, and play them near perfect (which you have to in a lesson), that is hard. Most stuff on this site is hard. Hard to play near perfect. Easy sometimes to just keep up. Growing up listening to my sister play piano, difficult pieces, I heard all the imperfections. Maybe with backing tracks and drums non musicians miss things, but we don't. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
