Hi friend, thanks for your info! This is really helpful for me.
About learning all those acoustic lesson, you won't regret it. Just take your time to work on details and polish each element. I recommend you to use a youtube account to upload your videos and share them here. It's the easier way to share your videos, and you can use a soundcloud account if you plan to share audios. Let me know if you need help with it. -------------------- My lessons

Demo 2 Demo 3 demo 1 - funeral for a friend - your revolution is a joke demo 2 - malaguena demo 3 - from first to last minuet...first time playing it on this guitar wanted you to see what kind of equip im working with goals for the week: learn all the number 1 lessons and post a demo for you of all of them with very few to 0 errors by next weekend...i have also been playing these with palm muting do you have any other practice suggestions? Improve the songs in the 3 demos Learn the last part of greensleeves and post demo Learn the goo-goo dolls lesson 3 weeks from now im going to parkway music to browse electrics...i have a lot of suggestions to try out... 5 weeks from now ill be buying one i cant wait to get into electric again...first lets see how good i can get on acoustic by then Questions: As far as wanting the ability to just pick up my guitar and play improv how much time should i spend on scales as opposed to learning songs...i basically only know position 1 of the major scale...i used to know all the positions but didnt really use them and don't really do much with this guy either besides use it as a warm up/vocal warm up and play it in thirds.... what should i learn next and what should i actually be doing with these guys to get the most out of them towards overall guitar fluency? Thanks for any suggestions Also, any homework for the week? Homework is a good idea i think... This post has been edited by Skizik: Jun 17 2016, 07:00 AM |

Hi mate, nice vids!
Your goals for the week sound good but maybe that's too much. Let's try it and then you tell me how it was. The idea is not to work on a lot of things, the idea is to stay focused and work on each lesson deeply. That's why I don't think I have to add more homework to your current plan. About improvisation, I consider very important to dedicate some time each day to improvise. What about working on this course? LINK HERE. -------------------- My lessons

okay so just a quick update so you know im doing my job practicing...going well so far i got a little sidetracked from my goals playing a few other things but im back working on those level 1 acoustic lessons...
submitted my first REC video here John B. Sails as well as began to play a few others that I have learned with the backing tracks. I'll try to get at least 2 more REC submissions in tomorrow and continue to work on the level 1s...I have them all bookmarked (I found 10 in total) and my goal is still to have a REC submission for each one by the weekend. cheers Joe |

Hi mate! Great stuff!
I think that practicing both guitar and singing with this lesson is a killer training for your ear. The more you do it, the more you'll incorporate this sounds into your mind which is the the first step to then be able to compose and improvise. In order to clarify minor keys, I think that you should check out this articles: Relative Minors The natural minor scale I think that you have enough stuff to work right now. Please take your time to digest all this music that you are learning. I'll wait for your takes to check your progress. -------------------- My lessons

Hey Gabriel =)
Been a hectic week I have been doing some home repairs and painting but I have still been getting roughly 2-3 hours per day of guitar in and around the same of singing. I practiced the major chord progressions A LOT this week and posted 7 REC vids tonight for each of the major keys. I want to get into a routine where I post videos for you once a week on the same day so this week I posted on Monday what I recorded Sunday night so next week on Monday I will post new videos for you...I think I will bee getting back to those level 1 Acoustic lessons now that I have thoroughly gone through the basic chord series. I am going to begin using these chord progressions as warm-ups for playing...I am also looking for some songs that use these chords to give me different rhythms to practice...some easier songs I have been playing include: Oasis - Wonderwall Anna Nalick - Breathe (2AM) and Wreck of the Day Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes Green Day - Good Riddance, When I Come Around If you have any other suggestions for me I am all ears. I have also been looking at the Ionian Mode for many of these Keys. I was never familiar with Ionian mode before and I still don't really know what it means other than it seems to be the major scale of whatever key on the lowest possible position of the fret board...is there anything more to it than this??? Anyways, next week I will have some more videos for you of the level 1 acoustic lessons and also some new videos utilizing these major key progressions possibly throwing in some improv with the Ionian Mode scales and mixing up some rhythm a bit. If there is anything else I should be working on please let me know. I briefly looking at some of the minor scale stuff you posted and I will get into that more a bit later in the future...I want to keep focusing on the major scale progressions at the moment now that they are becoming second nature as I think everything is starting to come together nicely as far as ear training and singing and playing together is concerned. Here are links to the youtube videos I have up that I also posted as REC videos on GMC. Each major key progression: G - https://youtu.be/Fmv8Y2zGZ_Q F - https://youtu.be/ZR2mmwxZ-c8 E - https://youtu.be/-Iq_P0FQCHM D - https://youtu.be/rYCL160Fpko C - https://youtu.be/og-PRb1dauw B - https://youtu.be/syZ6Zx7a2XM A - https://youtu.be/vRGa7EsCDZc |

Hi mate, great to know that my comments at the REC section worked. There are some videos that I haven't graded yet but I think that you can get the idea of which are the things you need to have in mind during the next days of practice.
About the song list, sure! It's a great idea to complement your diary practice with songs. That's the main goal, making music! Go for it. -------------------- My lessons
