* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!

* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.

* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.

* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.

* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?

* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hi friend! Thanks for the info!

I would really like to see you playing any of those songs and if it's possible a guitar jam over any backing track.

What do you think?

Hi mate, thanks a lot for your video and audio.

From what I can see in your LOG cover, your rhythm playing is very consistent. I think that we can focus on your solo side during this first part of the work together.

These are my two suggestions for this first week:

Hand Synch: This lesson is great for Alternate Picking and Hand Synchonisation. The lesson has very good explanations so please get into it, read the texts, and practice it focusing on making everything sound clean, clear and with the right timing. Start at slow tempos:

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Hand-Synch/


Legato Stamina: Then, I would like to suggest working on this excelent lesson to train your left hand. This lesson is level 7, so It's not an easy lesson. I don't want you to play it at the faster tempo, it's ok if you practice it using the slower backings, to build some stamina and dexterity.

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/legato-stamina/

What do you think? Are you in?

Hi friend! Great to find your video here!

I think that this lesson has been a good choice for you. The overall is going on the right track, but it needs some more days of practice yet. I'll write here a list of elements and details to have in mind during the next days of practice.

- Your hands movement are ok. There is nothing relevant to fix regarding posture.

- I would adjust your guitar tone. I think that it has too much drive and highs. A warmer tone, and some with less distortion will make your guitar playing sound cleaner and cooler.

- I notice that there are still some hand sync issues that make the faster passages sound a bit dirty. Maybe you can isolate this parts to adjust them and then connect everything again.

- There are some unwanted noises here and there. The tone adjust will help, but take care of it.

- There are some moments where timing is not precise. I note it at 00:18, 00:29, and 00:36. It's not dramatic but it can sound tighter.


If you'd share this take at REC I would grade it as 7 so it is a pass! With some more little adjustments this would become a 10 soon.

Congrats on your great job.

Thanks for reviewing the video! biggrin.gif

I will continue to work on it for sure, i wanted to deliver something better but i felt that i needed to show some progress.

I also started working on Legato Stamina as well but that will take a while!

It's a great desicion to share videos frequently. My long feedback is just because I want to mark every detail I note in order to make this program totally helpful and effective.

Keep on practicing and sharing your progress!
