GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Some Questions

Posted by: Destrucion May 9 2008, 05:30 PM

So.. I've been here for 3 months 6 months ago, but I've made a mistake and joined when I had
pressure at school. So I didn't realy had the time to practice and play.

But now summer brake is coming, and I have plenty of time.
So I would like some lessons recommands or stuff like that for soloing (which I realy suck at).
I can't think of what to do, so I get stuck at the same phrases all the solo.
So I would like some tips and lessons for that =)

Oh yeah, and also if you can give me some tips for alternate picking (How to practice so it would be effective, and
what lessons to watch).

I'm sorry for the english, its not my first language .

Thank you! tongue.gif

Hey dude.

If you want something really in depth for soloing then check out Ivan's pentatonic workshop series, it's got some really sweet tips in there.

I recommend my pentatonic series to drastically improve your solong abilities. I suggest to go through the whole series - in the level 5 you can learn some nice fresh licks and ideas and use them in your soloing. Level 5 is not out yet but levels 1, 2, 3 and 4 are. Cheers! smile.gif

Woah! That's great!
I practiced yesterday the level 1 and level 2. I can't wait to continue.
But do I have to memorize all the pentatonics shapes ? Because I don't have much of a memory.

Those shapes will be very useful to you in your guitarist life wink.gif I recommend you learning them because it's one of the most versatile scales there is!
And they're simpler than the major scale modes so learn them first! wink.gif
