QUOTE (Muris Varajic @ Apr 8 2009, 11:37 AM)  Knopfler is much better Tolek, there are still some timing issues but lets have a rest for this one for a while, you did very good job so far! Luke was also better this time but I still miss more vibrato in this sweet melody you've made. I think we could work much more on vibrato at this point, what do you think of playing the same thing with using and focusing on vibrato 100%? You can apply it on everything, regular notes and bended ones as well. However it would be good to get a video of it, that way I could see your posture when playing vibrato and give some suggestions if needed. Also, we can try working more intensely on bending, here's one lesson that I've recommended for almost every student in my MTP, https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...bending-lesson/ . Again it would be great to have a video but Mp3 is fine too until you get home.  Sounds great! Do you know a free video editing software? If yes, I can make a video here. I´m looking forward to learning this new lesson, I love it. What about the pentatonic takes?But now, I´m going to a drummer friend. See you!

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 8 2009, 06:48 PM) Ok, I´ll do it. I´m still not sure about the groove. Maybe you can explain me this when you´re in the chat? I'll explain it to you here in MTP when the time comes, that's pretty advanced field. QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 8 2009, 06:48 PM) About Movie Maker: I just realized that I won´t need it because today´s my last day at my father´s.  Tomorrow, I`ll be at my mother´s and then from Friday to Sunday at my sister´s.Ok then, good!

And I´d like to know how you proceed when creating a backing track.

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 9 2009, 10:23 PM) Could I have the backing for the blues lesson, please? Just another quick question: How do you slow down or speed up the backing track so that it doesn´t loose its quality? I see BTs at 180 bpm and then the same at 100, 80, 60,... . When I do it in Reaper it becomes so unclean and delayed.  Yeah, trick is to work in Midi with VSTs, not with audio files, Midi has no problems with stretching while audio does, you just change tempo in DAW and export it without any problems. There are some cool programs for audio stretching like Ableton Live but even with Ableton you can go like 20-30% of speed down tops, if you try more you'll probably hear "clicking". However this "clicking" only appears when you slow it down, not when you speed it up. Here's the backing.

Once in the chat, you wanted to comment a piece of music by me. Dunno if you still want to, but here it is: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...c=26544&hl=

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 13 2009, 05:59 PM) Hey Muris! I´m back! Happy Easter, btw. I just recorded a video of the Luke Solo: I´ll do some other ones later. Another topic. Can you give me some exercices for arranging/composing a song? At first maybe, I could do a BT in a style. Don´t know. Just an idea. Happy Easter Tolek and nice take tho, sounds much more mature, let me know when you post another one! As for arranging/composing exercises I guess I might give you few suggestions after I hear piece of music you posted, give me some time.

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 13 2009, 08:30 PM) Btw, I have troubles with ascending runs in the pentatonic lesson. Descending runs work fine, but the others don´t. Any tips? Focus more on ascending runs then, it's all I can say before I "see" you playing.

You've been busy Tolek, very well!
Luke's thing is going nicely so you might leave it for a while, tho you can continue jamming over it if you want and post some new clips if something new comes on your mind. As for Pentatonic Substitution, I see you're having problems with faster runs but what concerns me is that you are not using pure Alternate Picking, maybe it's too small FPS or you do some economy or som?? All in all, play the same thing (even without backing) VERY SLOW, pick every note loud and clear, good thing is to play unplugged too so you could really hear if you pick each note equally hard. Give it a shot, might help! And Blues Bending was very good too, you missed to use index on 2 semi tone bends on G string, you used middle finger instead but nothing major. Now it would be cool to lay a solo on same BT using some bends etc, what do you think?

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 14 2009, 11:38 PM) Sounds great! I´ll start practising the pentatonic lesson very slowly and play a new solo over the Blues BT. BTW, I start learning Blue Note in A. I want to play it at a "talent search". And Turkish March as well.Oh, and I´m using straight AP in those runs. Give us the credits and rock the house!! Looking forward to new takes, specially pentatonic Substitution with cleaned runs, let me know if I can help more.

QUOTE (Tolek @ Apr 15 2009, 12:11 AM) Sure. One question concerning the pentatonic runs. Should I accentuate the note of every beat or play them in the same volume as the others? Good question, in order to keep tight rhythmic I guess accenting 1st of each 4 won't hurt, actually we do that kind of thing naturally. Just try to play OTHER notes equally if possible.
