Monkeydathos' Road To Awesomeness |

Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.
I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:
* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!
* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

No idea what to write so gonna start from 0.
Well, i have been playing for 2 and half years nows; if i had to rank myself i would say my skill is between 1 and 6, it depends on the area; for example i suck at sweep, i can do some musically noise when we talk about 3 string sweep, but beside that it's just noise noise, if you know what i mean. when it comes to what i wanna play/achieve it's well, very hard to describre; i love music (pop;metal;rock;funk;progressive;experimental;post-rock etc,etc) but well lazyness is part of my personallity and that reflects a bit on the practice and life; for example i hate hate hate learning solos is so boring, that's probably one of the reasons my lead guitar is weak. Nowadays i have been practice; Rust in Peace and Holy Wars by Megadeth (trying to get that tight thrashin rythm/right hand) and Overture 1928 by Dream Theater and Overload by Bumblefoot (training lead licks with these songs) Things i would love to play and i don't have much experience:C Rythm : err i don't have any cool example...well stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os7d8eQoe6c ; Funky Rockish stuff. and i tend to lose control on my right hand when it comes to arpeggios for example such as the beginning of this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jr1uk2SvbY Lead: anything! When it comes to theory, i know the intervals, chords (major, minor, 7ths); Major and Minor(pentatonic, Blues) scale and i can mess around with Dorian mode a bit (My vocabulary sucks ), i know how inversions works but never actually apply it in my playing, about ear training , gonna start workin on Relative pitch by David lucas once again. My main goal is to be able to play what i like/write and want and to have full control and awareness of my playing and those who surrend me : ) PS::C unfortunately i don't have away to record my self, thing i am trying to fix, i do however have the possibility to record some sound trough my roland cube, not in my the best quality but fair enough.´ PPS: maybe i can manage to record some videos after all, with the laptop camera. sorry any typo This post has been edited by MonkeyDAthos: Feb 16 2012, 05:43 PM -------------------- QUOTE It's a proven fact that guitar faces have a bigger impact on tone than wood does. |

If you could record something with the camera post it here, it would be awesome as I could have a look and listen - in that way things would be a lot easier, in respect to what we should start with and what we should insist upon in your training The quality is not that important, so go ahead and post something here and we'll make a lesson plan in order to get you motivated and obtain results - how does this sound to you my friend? |
