And thanks to Kris's metronome lesson i can now play 16th notes at a speed of 69 Bpm with a clean sound without missing or hitting a string half. thanks to Kris's metronome lesson Good work Lester, keep it up You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

For more variety in playing solos. I have even a scheme for a minor pentatonic scale with all possible notes in between that sound good. Im searching for it now so maybe I can post it somewhere these days. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Muting is now much better than it was, less noise from my guitar, my pinched harmonics are all the more consistant - I could do them easily already but I was having trouble combining them with the fist holding guitar pick technique. Also learnt Fabians lesson fairly rapidly, I'm going to move on to something more challenging tapping wise fairly soon. All in all a good week for me, my playing is developing at a good rate I feel and I'm trying to take ideas from all the stuff I learn and combining them into my playing.

I also continued learning the scales. I now know Minor pentatonic and the blues scale and the recently learned Major pentatonic scale ( In all boxes of course ) I'm so excited about my improvement, and can't wait to learn more stuff CYA You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Having played before, it's nice to return to something that I use to enjoy. In the past week I have been progressing well on alternate picking. My right hand is starting to do that on auto pilot and the dexterity in my right hand is also improving. I notice this when I do chromatic scale warm ups and scale practice. I'm also doing well on learning the pentatonic scale. I'm starting to remember the root notes and I can play 4 out of the 5 boxes from memory. Still need to work on mastering these boxes and the root notes. I have also started to play one string scales after reading about this on GMC. I'm starting with the E major scale on the high E. Things I need to work on is getting a metronome! I've just been so busy lately that I haven't been able to get to guitar center. I'm going to return an effects pedal and pick up a metronome and a small amp so I don't have to play through my roommates computer/keyboard setup. Hopefully by the end of next week I'll have practiced with a metronome to work on my timing and progressed on Pavel's heavy metal for beginners and Kris's beginner licks!

I was playing marcus's lessons with only up-strokes didn't feel right. I improved by being able to nail bends and get then to the corret pitch perfectly. the second solo from the last fight by velvet revolver helped a lot. Does anyone here listen to a lot of velvet revolver?? they are the best band ever!!!!!!!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
