Hi Adam! Great idea sharing here everything you know about this concepts. It's a nice reference for us at the mentoring program!
By now, it seems that your theory is ahead your guitar playing so it's time to start to apply all that content into playing and real music. On a side note, we can work on the Holiday collab here as well. It's a good excuse to practice Pentatonic major scale. So, you have two tasks here: - Jam video over the blues backing track. - Jam video over Holiday Collab Backing. What do you say? -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Adam M @ Dec 17 2018, 01:05 PM)  I think I nailed today's exams just fine, all that's left for now is my thesis which is less time-consuming. That means, I'll have more guitar practice time now. I still have 3 basics lessons to turn in. About the Pentatonic practice, I'd even say we can do more: 1 track in minor and 1 track in major for each Collab. I'll also record arpeggiated version of Winter Collab. That's a lot of work, so I'm off to practice now!  Great!! Congrats on your exams mate! The plan sounds good to me. Enjoy your practice and keep me updated. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Adam!
I'm sorry about the bad things happening. I hope that everything get better soon mate. Your solo over the backing track is very nice. Those are very tasty phrases and melodies. I'm happy to know that my video helped with some ideas and inspiration! If you want to polish this one, you could put some focus on expression elements like dynamics, bending, and vibrato. But those are elements that we still have to work here. I would go for this take! -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Adam M @ Dec 23 2018, 03:28 PM) Thank you! It seems I needed 2 days to cool down a bit. It'll take some effort but hopefully things will work out fine soon. I'd love to submit something more technical but I can't do it properly, so I chose to make it simple. I'm glad you like this take. I would go for this as well. I wasn't exactly in a mood for this and I'm happy I did this much at least. It's not the last Collab, I believe, so I'll try working hard and improve until the next one is up. I'll try doing Bluesy one next. Wise thinking mate. Yes, this is not the last collab. You'll be proud of being part of this one and your take sounds good so why would you miss it? Let's move forward! -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Adam M @ Dec 26 2018, 01:15 PM) I'll submit the audio files tomorrow after work. But I thought I could do something more here. I'll record arpeggios over the mix and then the lick I already posted again, twice. I was lucky to meet Andy James at GC where he was teaching home-recording basics. He said if you record a piece twice and pan one take to left and the other to right, it sounds like a wall of stacks or something like that. I want to give it a try and if it goes wrong, I still have my previous take to submit That sounds good Adam! Collabs are a great opportunity to try and experiment with new things, so go for it!! -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Adam M @ Dec 28 2018, 12:57 AM) I've submitted the files in the Collab thread. I like the dual recording idea, turned out very nice. I also love the way one pattern becomes a background for another pattern. I could go on for another 5 minutes like this! I borrowed the idea from MF's Forbidden City. I want to play the whole piece one day!  Nice!! Thanks a lot Adam! -------------------- My lessons

Hi Adam!
All those are great plans. I recommend you to get a SM57 since it's the standard for recording guitars. You won't regret it. I think that it's the best mix ever! (for the price). Recording your guitar connected to a real amp and cabinet must be done with a mic. If not, you are missing a very important part of the sound. If you don't use mic, you need to use some kind of emulator. The easier way would be to use a plug in as I do in some of my lessons. I don't think that using phones output is a good idea for recording if you are planning to become serious about your guitar tone.

QUOTE (Adam M @ Jan 3 2019, 01:17 PM) I'm a bit confused, I keep mistaking these two. Both 57 and 58 are recommended but I guess there's a lot of time before I even save up for that. I meant to say I'll use the Scarlett only until I get a proper mic. But for practice and jamming I'll probably use the amps. I keep using Phones Out in Zombie for listening only. When using Scarlett.. what amp do you use? -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Adam M @ Jan 3 2019, 01:46 PM) When I get both Scarlett and a mic, I think I'll be using the Zombie with a 112 cab. That way I'll use the amp's fx loop and probably get better results than stacking all effects before the pre-amp section. Yes, that's clear, but my question is... How do you record your guitar for videos and collab? what are you using now? -------------------- My lessons
