IS THAT YOUR MAMA?

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.

I am not choosing a lesson for you at this point because I first need to see your actual playing level in order to know what's what I am curious in respect to what you will choose!

Great to see you finally playing Well, I say you have good timing and you understood the structure of the phrases, but you are pretty rigid in your approach and your articulation could be greatly improved. Bending and vibrato are two of the most important techniques for a guitarist and I say we should focus on them Now let's see your other recording! QUOTE (Lienad @ Oct 15 2012, 03:38 PM) Ok so I just learnt this in the last half an hour but i'll post it anyways Heheh! I can see that you didn't get too much time to spend on this one You rushed some phrases and also, mate, check your guitar's tuning before you start playing, k? Now, I suggest we focus on beginner lessons, covering rhythm and articulation, plus, discussing the theory behind them, what do you think?

Yeah I think you're right I don't feel at ease when im playing I feel VERY rigid, something I want to change badly What could I do to Improve this? How could I improve my articulation? I did rush the last one, I guess I was a little too enthusiastic haha! but yeah I'll check my tuning in future. My goal at the moment is to be able to play/write metalcore/modern metal style riffs and passages to a high standard and also be able to perform them in an entertaining fashion in a live setting to people or at a gig Do you think that plan you have laid out will help achieve this? If so, LETS GO FOR IT!! Also my alternate picking/triplets are a serious weak spot which is a shame because I really want to be able to play them well. Could we add some lessons for this into the mix too? lol long post mate, ok where do I start? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm aiming for that because I spend lots of time playing, I just have no practice routine or idea of what to focus on. regular goals and assignments would be great to remedy this!
