Hey ruben_mcn!
it is nice to have you on my group of students for this next MTP phase, can you tell me somethings about you?, full name, guitar level, what equipment do you have, etc? my MTP is very personalized so i would need a recording, a video if possible, to see how are you playing actually, and i'll give you 1 task per week, again, a recording is important so i know where to start i hope you enjoy good rhythmic and rock n roll cause you will be playing it a lot -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

Hey Adrian ..
I love Rock an Roll !!!! (Classic Rock and hardrock are my favorit music types ) Well My name is Ruben Oliveira.. I bealive I´m at an intermidiate level, I have been playing Guitar for something like 2/3 years .. My all time fav player is slash ..my fav band was OLD Guns n Roses.. My Gear: - Gibson Les Paul Studio - Ibanez RG 2550 z - Line 6 amp - Line 6 UX 1 (for audio recording ) - Casio cam (for video recording ) The few vids I have are here: https://www.youtube.com/user/BBPick91 I want to Learn how to improvise in a better way ( I now pretty well the Pentatonic boxes .. I bealive the next step would be learning the Diatonic Patterns if possible in G minor .. i forgot to mentio even tho i know the pentatonic boxes and can move arround them easly i fell that i lack pre-known licks and i have a bit of difficulty in phrasing ) But I also want to improve my Rythmic sense .. Cause i don´t have much rythm on right hand wich makes me a bit bad at rythm guitar parts and also limits my soloing cause i bealive it is importante to solo w/ ryhtm .. So i want to : - learn Diatonic Patterns - Improve my rythm - learn New Licks - Improve My phrasing ability I´m really looking forward to start working w/ you so let´s start .. Let me know if you want to know anything else .. Cheers Ruben This post has been edited by ruben_mcn: Jun 2 2010, 09:25 PM |

Hey ruben!
i see where you wanna go!!, let's see exactly where you are, this is, and probably going to be the first task for all my students: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Rock-Rhythm-Variations/ Please record yourself playing the whole number, again video is better. Don't let the "level 2" trick you, if you don't have a rhythmic base it will show , wanna see how is your overall timing, beat, and groove keeping, the last one for is not about playing in perfect timing, but playing "with the music". Have fun trying to remember all the parts in order, i had to do my homework when i recorded it . Again, it is a pleasure to have you on board! -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers! Got a Blog too!, www.adriantracks.com Follow me on facebook and youtube! -Youtube |

Thanks ..Sounds sweet.. Can you send me the Backing track ?? So far the only part i bealive is gona give me trouble is the plam muting beacuse it it all downstrocks and I´m really bad at that its like the speed you do the that part is like almost my limit speed w/ downstrock and if I do it for like 1-2 min in a row my arm really starts to burn .. (gotta really work my downstrock to achive Greater speeds ) ... Hey man, i'm sorry, i don't have that backing track, got a massive data loss a while ago and lost my 3 first lessons . for this time is cool, just go ahead and record yourself playing with the backing track just with the camera mic -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

Hey ruben!
sorry for the delay getting back man! ok i think you have the right technique at this moment, you are just a little out in tempo, nothing too bad, but we have to work on that! would you be able to record a video of you playing?, i can't stress this enough, it's super to see how you are playing, that way i can know what do you need overall good take man, let's work on that timing! -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

that's what im talking about man, SOLID take.
i think you need to work a little bit on muting some strings, but that could be the guitar on the backing track. you can submit this to rec, again it is solid. tomorrow will post your new task, nice job! -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!

New task for this week, i feel like we have to work this first month on rhythmic guitar, and get that really really rock solid, the base for every good musicians is rhythm.
you did pretty good last time, so now something a little more complex: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Muted-...-Rhythm-Guitar/ let me know if this is too complex please, i mean, it is a low level lesson, but they rhythmic can be tricky, sometimes is more about experience and not technique! i want you to record the whole lesson, and also, lower your distortion a little bit to get more definition and harmonics! have fun BT backing_track_normal_speed.mp3 ( 2.52MB ) Number of downloads: 258 This post has been edited by Adrian Figallo: Jun 8 2010, 06:41 PM -------------------- Check my Instructor Profile Rockers!
