Yoncopin's Bootcamp, Earn it Soldier!!!!!! |
Lesson 12 is the last of the single chevron lessons. You get your first double badge at Level 13. Then your Triple Badge at level 26. The highest soldier we have currently is Fzalfa @ Level 32. The first Quad Chevron badge is at level 39. I"ve been teaching here more than five years an nobody, I repeat, nobody has EVER reached the Quad badge. With persistence you could be the first!!

Thanks Todd! Yeah, it's about as good as you could hope a 25 year old guitar would be, really happy with it. I do know of another RG760 which is on eBay now

Todd, question about lesson 15... When are you supposed to economic pick? Anytime you change strings?

Good question! Yes, when you think it might improve the playability of the lick, or make it a bit easier, use two down or up strokes in a row. I didn't notate any pick strokes as I want everyone to explore it a bit to find where they get benefit from economic picking. I usually use econ when moving in a given direction. E.g Descending traverse strings (e.g. High E to B string) = double up strokes.

Ok, here's lesson 15 @100 bpm. I used the economic motion on the first string transition from the E to A string.

Lesson 16, I forget what tempo I recorded these at because I changed it for the triple multipicking

Lesson 17, funny last time I said the multipicking was "easier". Not so on this lesson, it was the other way around.

Thanks Todd! I really appreciate your feedback and enthusiasm
I've actually been feeling a bit discouraged with my playing lately. I've been struggling with a very basic bending lesson that Gabriel assigned to me. I've been practicing daily at GMC now for about two years and have been kind of disappointed in myself for struggling so much with something so fundamental. It makes the music I want to play seem so distant.I think it's also compounded by a bit of guilt/poser/imposter syndrome. I just sold my old amp, Pod HD and a ton of other stuff and bought myself a Line 6 Helix. I couldn't be more excited about it, but I like to "earn" my gear and I have not been feeling worthy of such a glamorous item. In good news though, I made a lot of progress on my studio rack All the cuts and drilling is done, thanks for your feedback!

Guilt is like a carrying a bag of bricks. You just got to sit it down sometimes
Buying new gear can often help motivate us to keep playing through a rough patch. I've found that a new guitar can often motivate me to write new bits in a new way just from the way it plays/sounds. So I'd say don't feel at all bad New Gear is ALWAYS a good thing IMHO Embrace the Happy!Good to see your rack is coming along!!

As long as you can use some of the licks/bits that you have learned so far in Missions you've completed. There have been wands of Minor Scale and Pentatonic licks to choose from. Try to review the licks you can remember and review some older lessons if needed, and make use of licks that we have learned so far to go in your solo. That's what I"m really looking for Make sense?Sarge QUOTE (yoncopin @ Aug 23 2016, 09:13 PM) One question about Lesson 18, are you looking for a complete composed solo? or do you just want me to turn the camera on and jam, like the Saturday Shredfest? I jammed on it for a while tonight and lots of decent ideas, but it'll take quite a bit to put a solo together a practice the whole thing. I don't think I've ever actually done that.
