Fine job Tolek, that was quick!!
About those stretches, we can't do a lot about position, that's as highest on the neck as possible if we wanna stay in same octave for whole riffing part. But what you CAN do is to somehow swing your left hand a little, as you can see there are always 2 notes on low E between notes on A, that's the moment when you can swing back to more comfortable position without keeping your pinky on the neck. And if you wanna play it standing I suggest you to move your guitar in a "narrow" position, just like many players when they play wider stretches. And thanks for slightly overdriven tone, it was very nice! Keep working, it's going great so far. -------------------- Youtube

Here is 100bpm!
And about those runs, try practicing as I told you in chat, runs only and then add bar before and after runs to cover both 16ths and 16th triplets. More_Paul_Gilbert___BT_100_bpm.mp3 ( 1.73MB ) Number of downloads: 1 -------------------- Youtube

My performance from Friday. That was nice playing Tolek!! You were kind of insecure at the beginning or perhaps you couldn't hear backing nicely so you were out of time a bit but no big deal. Hybrid arpeggios came out top class btw!! I believe you're still struggling with this tune and to be honest it isn't kind of tune to relax a lot and play, there is something going on all the time and you really need to be focused. But you did it good tho it can be better, you know what to fix, thanks for sharing Tolek! -------------------- Youtube

Btw, I got an invitation to play on the school party of my old school after this show. Everybody wants me to play now. My career in Luxembourg started. That's brilliant Tolek, that's how it starts actually, well done!!!!!!!!! I just have to play it more often and do some technique exercices, then this piece will be perfect. It's always like that, put some extra effort and things will be as they should. Have a lot of fun in London. My family and me are thinking about you on Saturday! My mother and me are going to watch the show, as well. Thank you very much! -------------------- Youtube

Little update on Dreamin. I found a progression for the verse and have some structure in it after recording everything again.
The lead melody is fixed now, but I didn´t play it that good. This is only a test version. Dreamin__test.mp3 ( 1.61MB ) Number of downloads: 7 Update on PG lesson. I just practised some runs of this lesson and it´s getting pretty clean and fast (100 bpm). However, I have no video yet because I can´t play the lesson entirely at that tempo (not clean enough). Getting fast is difficult! |

Nice new part in Dreaming, I liked Em chord a lot,
you should definately use it more often in this progression, it gives some nice dimension to the whole piece! Now, I hear that you tend to play F note every time when Gm chord appears which is kind a reasonable, you want to switch from D to Dm key entirely. BUT you can also try with F# note, it won't sound wrong, the only alteration there would be Bb (which is played in chord already) so you'd get Gmmaj7 chord, that one sounds nice too. 100 bpm sounds cool for PG tho, give it some extra time and bump the thread whenever you record a clip or need some extra advice! -------------------- Youtube

Hey Muris!
Do you like this composition? Oriental_Rock.mp3 ( 643.06K ) Number of downloads: 37 I thought of reapplying for a teacher at GMC when I composed this piece. It´s not well played, tho. |

Very, very interesting groove and melody Tolek, keep it grow! Not so well played as you said but it's still in composing phase so it can pass. -------------------- Youtube

Thanks, Muris. Actually, I planned to keep it that short and make a lesson out of it. However, I started thinking of developing it even more and make a song out of it, like Dreamin. Sure thing, lesson would be cool as well plus you never know how tune is gonna develop. -------------------- Youtube

Yeah, that´s right. Man, I´m looking so much forward to the holidays. Then nothing can stop me composing my songs! Just thinking about this freedom is awesome! Composing is a blast, I can tell you that. -------------------- Youtube

Yes, I had a few of those pleasant composing moments where I could sit down and write endless melodies that sound good. Yesterday was my last one (Oriental Rock thing ). You know how to get them more often? I personally can do it best at night. I think this is because nobody disturbs me... That's inspiration, hard to set a rule, it's very personal, some people need to listen to something in order to be inspired, you seem to like the night cause no one disturbs you etc. Of course, you can't compose if someone disturbs you. Now, you could use one of those hotel signs on the door so you could compose even during a day, "Do NOT Disturb". -------------------- Youtube
