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.
thanks for choosing me!

Hey mate
 I think that you should master the major scale, the minor scale, the melodic minor and harmonic minor and its modes and the diminished scale. You can find them all here - I suggest we take them one at a time and then I can give you assignments as lessons here which are based on them Deal?https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0#entry634876 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=48132 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=48834 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=50246 |

I'm fairly familiar with the regular major and minor and the modes around them so can probably skip those. Ionian (major), Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aolian (minor) and Locrian correct ? I seem to remember that Aolian is either the harmonic minor or melodic minor, can never remember which.. But whichever it is not the synonym for I'll need to work on indeed, as with the dimished. Deal also quick question; do you know where I can check how long I have left of my current (paid) membership ? -------------------- - Scorpiotic

QUOTE (Scorpiotic @ Mar 29 2014, 11:59 AM) did a check; so aeolian is the natural minor aka melodic descending. So I assume the other melodic is the ascending one, (assuming that alters the structure with regards to intervals). Does this seem right ? I guess the descending is called natural while the ascending is called just melodic minor for easier distinction between the two... Ok do you have any exercises or lessons to make the scales interesting ? cheers First of all, the Aeolian is all minor back and forth and the melodic is ascending as melodic and descending as natural minor, out of what I know More on that can be found here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=48608I haven't used the melodic minor at all so far - so I'd strongly advise you to read the theory in the thread above. As for Aeolian based lessons, here it is at work: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/B-Minor-Ballad-Solo/ What better way to hear the natural minor sensibilities than in a ballad?

Hi, Long time no see (sorry) I've finished my first track, one in the mastering process and one still in writing. Made a thread on it, hope you will take part. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=52843 Cheers
