May 28 2007, 10:37 PM	Instructor Posts: 2.537 Joined: 27-May 07 From: Gothenburg, Sweden	Hey guys! wow, I didn't expect that kind of respons! Thank's a lot for your kind words! I’m very happy to be a part of this awesome site, and I'm really excited to get to know all of you guys. So let me tell you a little about my background. When I was about 4-5 years old, my mother introduced several musical instruments to me, mainly the piano since she was a piano teacher at the music academy. At that time (in the mid 80’s) there was a trend to teach using a method called the “Suzuki-method”. The Suziki-method means, amongst other things, that you don’t learn how to read sheet music until you know how to play the instrument. My mother thought highly of this method and used it to teach me, which I am very grateful for because I learned how to really listen to the notes and developed “relative pitch”, which basically means you could figure out how to play a solo just by listening to it. I plan to make a lesson about that some day. When I was 13 years old I got my first electric guitar, and I was blown away with all the things that could be done with the tone (as opposed to the piano). You could do bends, tapping, harmonics etc. and while experiencing with all these techniques I learned my most important lesson: the only thing that really matters is how it sounds. I know it might sound obvious, but if you think about it. It don't matter if you for example use the "wrong" picking technique - if your playing sounds good. I'd say there are almost as many picking techniques as there are guitar players, and none of the techniques are "wrong". They're just different. Find the way that suits you, and go for it. At that time I started getting serious with playing guitar, and I played for 4-5 hours per day for sure. It didn’t matter if it was christmas or even my birthday – I locked the door to my room and played guitar all day (and night). Hehe... Though I didn’t practise techniques is the traditional manner. I just jammed along with CD’s. I figured, guitar playing should be fun. And my idea of fun ain't practising scales up and down for hours. As you will hear in the lessons, I am highly influenced by Yngwie's vibrato, but guitarists like Michael Romeo, Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman to name a few, has made a really big impact on me aswell. Anyways, then I started to study sound engineering, and got a job. Unforunately that led to that I barely had any time to play the guitar for the last 7 years. But I missed it too much, so a couple of months ago I decided cut down on work and pick up the guitar again. So now I’m back in business, and I’m READY TO ROCK! All the best to you guys! I look forward to some interesting discussions here at the forum. -Marcus Lavendell You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

So, welcome Marcus, I'm really looking forward to seeing your lessons, I'm sure they will be great. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
