QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Nov 22 2021, 12:00 AM)  Welcome to GMC!!! I'm Todd and I'm one of our staff instructors. This is a great place for musicians. You are gonna love it!! Do you have some music of yours that you can share? something from youtube or soundcloud? Todd Thanks for the responses! I've uploaded a couple of things I recorded recently to Soundcloud. This is a little piece that's just two guitars and drums, sort of a rhythmic thing I guess https://soundcloud.com/user-698852492/modal...748ac8167528025 This one is a longish 'improvisation' over a backing track I made https://soundcloud.com/user-698852492/a-min...390cd360b1e088f I cringe a little bit listening to them as the parts where my timing is off really stick out to me, but it's fairly representative of where I am. I mostly use blues, minor and harmonic scales, arpeggios, and chromatics. I'm looking to expand my palette, improve my chops and timing. If there's any lessons you can suggest that'd be great! I've been looking at the modern dark blues one, but some of the faster bits are outside my ability, I've never really tried sweep picking before and not sure it would fit in my 'style' but if it's good enough for Django Reinhardt...

Thanks for the links!! I would suggest you join my SHRED BOOTCAMP! it's a currated series of 400 'Missions". It starts off very simple and gets harder as you go. It's my mentorship program. Another instructor here GABE who is also in this thread, also does mentorship. I'd say contact him as well!
Here is a link to the Bootcamp. It's called "Shred Bootcamp" but it's really about learning to play with precision more than learning how to play fast. bit.ly/twtgmc If you are up for it, shoot me a personal message here on GMC. If you have not used the personal message system yet, here is your chance! Click on my picture in this post and youll see a dropdown menu with SEND MESSAGE.

Amazing stuff mate. I loved both of these, but especially the Reggae tunes stood out as original to me - that would make up for an excellent theme of the next collab. I also also the Gipsy Jazz vibes you got going. QUOTE (owchita @ Nov 22 2021, 07:43 PM) I mostly use blues, minor and harmonic scales, arpeggios, and chromatics.

Since your style is already quite broad, and your goals are not super specific - my suggestion would be to have a routine where you try to learn one new lick/scale/idea/concept per day (from any lesson, use and abuse the search! 😅) and apply it to your daily jam session. I personally find the kind of practicing most enjoyable. And since you have reached the stage of being able to jam around with concepts it will likely give you the fastest results. |
