Hi Cosmin,I'm Brian from Philippines.Started playing guitar at age 14 now I'm 28.Type of music i play are rock,metal and been messin with blues before.Biggest influence for me is Joe Satriani but can play couple of his songs(the easy ones). I consider myself as an intermediate player.Before i have a band playing just cover songs but when work has dealt with me,i become a bedroom guitarist.I want to improve my technique and improvisational skill(lead,rhythm) in rock and metal music.I want to enjoy practicing my goals because sometimes i get bored and lose my morale.I'm lost what to practice to achieve these goals and i think im in a certain level as a guitar player but i cant move on to the next step.I'm Currently working on Metal Patterns no.1 lesson by Lian Gerbino and will post here as soon I speed things up.Thank you

Hi Cosmin, here's my take for Lian's lesson:
http://soundcloud.com/bryze26/metal-lesson-no1
BT tempo is 90 percent of the original.
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Mar 14 2012, 09:47 AM
Hey Brian! This could be perfect! The notes sound out very clean but you are just a WEE BIT behind the tempo - you should try and record somewhere at 80% of the tempo, focusing on being as tight with the drums as possible and then work your way up from there. What say you mu friend - ready to do this?
Cosmin

Perfect! I hope you ain't growing bored of this one already
we can also work on something else in parallel if you'd like to
just let me know
a tempo/ rhythm based lesson would work wonderful for you at this point
all the best

I'll never get bored, this is a challenge for myself
anyway here is my third take at 80 percent of the BT tempo.
http://soundcloud.com/bryze26/metal-patterns-no-1-take-three
Other than rhythm/tempo based lesson which i will include in my regimen, any suggested lesson regarding developing my improvisational skill?Be metal or rock?

hey man! It ain't bad
you're rushing a bit though, so you're ahead of the track in some spots, not too much, but I can feel it. Try to listen to the drums when you are playing and think of each note you play as having a corespondent beat in the drumtrack - the phrasing is composed just like this. You need to gain flow and balance when playing such stuff, k? Let's keep this tempo and try to obtain the groove
As for recommendations, let's try these two:
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/neoclassical_solo_for_beginners/ very good for phrasing and tone control!
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Him-Style-Love-Metal/ - this one will help you work on growing a groove and constant down picking is also important!
what do you think, are these two ok for you?
Cosmin

Hey there mate!
I see good progress with the Metal Patterns - this is by far the tightest take! You are 97% there
I think you can start speeding up now but focus on the flow and groove ok?
The Love metal lesson has some timing issues here and there, it's the same like the Metal Pattern lesson. Man, you have to focus more and more on listening to the drums and keeping a tight rhythm, k?
Let's try 85percent with the Metal Patterns and 80percent with the love metal?
Let me know how it goes
Cosmin

: 157Hey man! I want to congratulate you for the metal patterns as I can clearly feel your improvement but the timing in the rhythm lesson with HIM is a bit shaky. Try to internalize the groove and stick to it at an even slower pace
it worked for the metal patterns so it will work fir the HIM style leson as well
Bear with me!
Cosmin
Posted by: Bryze26 Mar 28 2012, 10:29 AM
Thanks mate! i can now clearly feel the rhythm for the metal pattern lesson.i think have the right now to increase its tempo a bit more.hehe.you can count on me to improve more on Him Style lesson.gotta feel that rhythm as well

Since you made me proud with the metal patterns, yes you can increase the tempo with 5 more BPM's and in the same time I will have a surprise for you

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Mar 31 2012, 06:24 PM
Hey mate! Very nice! The improvement is obvious and aside from the beginning where you felt pretty uncertain until 0:40 everything was very good! Try one more focusing on the part until 0:40
Very nice mate!!
