Hey Nahz - awesome to have you here! Could you maybe give us a link to a track, solo or artist - representative of where you would want to take your playing? It doesn't matter if the track is way above your current level, I assume you signed up to get better...much better! Also, could you give us a link to your current playing (audio or video) - so we can get an impression of your level? Sorry for all the questions, but if we get this info from you - it will be much easier to help you out. Again - great to have you at GMC! Hey! Thanks for the response! I don't have anything in the ways of recording, as im just learning how to make this happen at home. The only thing paralyzing me is not know how to go about it, same with music. There is so much information out there its impossible to know youre on the right track. I play acoustic and electric. Here are some examples I aim for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEGUphTeDSM...786AC18564C14F8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BwHYh41NT4 I listen to a ton of stuff so naturally its hard to pick 2 but this is what i came up with. I hope this helps somewhat. My problem is that my tremolos are good for about 30 seconds then i get sloppy. I need metronome work..but im not sure how to practice the many styles of this with a metronome. Also for acoustic those guys are just phenomenal and my main inspiration acoustically. Sweeping would be nice but just clean awesome sounding arpeggios would be good and with an eye to build them myself. I can sweep later. I need disciplinary scale work. Thanks again.

Hey mate Welcome to GMC!
I have read through this thread and I think that with a proper training regimen and focus on the tasks at hand, you can become a proficient player and musician. I happen to like the acoustic side, you mentioned and I was thinking that we can start wotking together on developing your skills, if you would like that. Learning how to apply theoretical concepts, understanding rhythm and technique with the aid of GMC lessons, could be key to your success on this path All these being said, I would like to invite you to take a look over this thread here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0&start=0 ... and if you like the idea, please send me the answers to the questions you will find in there and we can start working together All the best, Cosmin |

Todd here again I'd like to invite you to join my SHRED BOOTCAMP!! Where we focus on precision/speed/right hand technique/hand synch/etc. Just shoot me a PM and let me know if you want to join! Here is a link to all the lessons in the BOOTCAMP!
http://bit.ly/twtgmc Todd Hey guys I just joined. Seems like a great site and im very excited to dig in.
The underlying reason I am here: I have been playing guitar since i was 19. Im 30 now...yet even still i struggle with technique and direction honestly. I have always been an ear player. Learning the wrong way because I wanted to play fast as I was into black metal and only had an acoustic guitar haha. So now i find myself here, with the chops but a lack of technique and direction. Learning arpeggios and the thrash gallops has been ok..but its more of a scales thing i am missing. I know my G major and what not, I guess what im saying is I need some direction on how to tackle these beasts. I feel gimped and overwhelmed having learned so many small bits from here and there.. I want to clean up my act. Practice to a metronome, learn my scales and get my hand techniques shining. Do i memorize every note of every scale? Are there tips or lessons on how to remember this stuff easier or is it 8 hours of metronomes a day? Thats ok if it is...a problem i have is when i get warmed up I like to just start thrashing out on my fretboard haha..its an attention deficit thing. Any disciplinary tips or advice is so welcomed. I hear more mainstream guitarists like Jon Schaffer or Nergal (I know they arent very comparable) and I envy their precise attack and execution. This is where i should be and I am not. Thank you for reading this unorganized cry for help. Looking forward to frequenting here. |
