Couldn't help but give this thread a name to be reckoned with Mate, this is your mentoring thread! It's your place of self development - musical and spiritual if you want. Let's start with your story - what do you like to play, what gear do you use, where are you now as a guitarist and musician and where would you like to be in the near/ distant future?
Cosmin
Hey man
we got Andy Timmons as a unifying inspiration for both and probably a love for PRS guitars
First things first, I would like to ask you if you have any recordings of yourself playing they would help a lot in our quest
all the best
Cosmin
I'm sure that I'm much more rusty now than when I was practicing more. But I think the above vids are accurate indicator of where I am as a guitarist.
Hey man! The recordings are exactly what I needed I think you didn't lose touch with rhythm, but your articulation skills could use a good push. Especially that you like players such as Mr. Timmons who is an articulation god
So, shall we take this thread into that direction? We shall tackle solos from the various lessons around here and discuss concepts behind them, plus techniques used in there.
In the mean time, please take a look at this little video and try to internalize the movements involved by bending and vibrato
let me know what you think, ok?
Cosmin
Hey Cos,
Taken on board. It's very expressive. I think my bending might be fair, but vibrato like in the video I need to work on.
Should I practice this video, and record it?
yes mate, but I am more interested in the concept rather than playing the exact same notes - choose which notes you want and apply the ideas in the film, record and send them my way
Cosmin
Hey Cos.
I practiced the technique for an hour then recorded. My finger got a blister I know it's not perfect but it's already 100% better than before what's your feedback?
Yes! There is progress mate! Indeed it is Now, there's a certain shakiness in the bends which is normal at this stage - this technique is refined in time, so don't worry ok?
The main idea on which you should focus now, would be to try and bend using the vibrato after a while, not immediately after bending, k? Once you get this down, we'll move to actual contexts
