IS THAT YOUR MAMA?
Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.
I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:
* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!
* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.
* 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?
* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

Hi, Cosmin.
I think I am not far from my goal)) You impress me always. How an easy lesson from the first look can be very difficult and developing. This is my Sunday attempt. It's not ready yet. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0vo5ve9wu3gnejg/Legato%205.mp3 I play in a slow temp (70-75) many times and in the end of my training I record. After your exercises I feel how my fingers become faster. It's just a few steps and I will start to play solo. )) -------------------- Best wishes,
Paul |

Hi,Cosmin.
Don't think that I stop working.  I just can't play clear. https://www.dropbox.com/s/h015ehtkfa88wiv/Legato%203.m4a I am working hard but it's still far from good playing. But I have good news. I have learnt and can play Breaking Benjamin - Breath. I transcript it in parallel. I will try to show you tomorrow. ) This post has been edited by pavelducati: Feb 14 2014, 08:09 PM -------------------- Best wishes,

I just came home from my office. It's too late but I did not want to wait tomorrow and recorded a raw video.
I don't know how to tune effects for playing in a clean tone.( I got a G-Major 2 system to try what this is a thing just today. I think I need a time to find out this. But there is : https://www.dropbox.com/s/6vayugw2junzsr5/B...amin-Breath.mp4 I decided to make my BB video. But I saw your lesson "the voice of your guitar" by accident. It is so wonderful it's like I hear your heart. I have no words. My heart almost jumped out. It's Great lesson!!! It is very impressive and inspiring. I could not don't try. Yes, my performance is not good,there are many mistakes. I will correct everything. Thank you,Cosmin. Things like this make the world beautiful and happy. https://www.dropbox.com/s/izk5b2emxdolndo/t...0guitar%202.m4a

Hi, Cosmin.
I did not think about a talent. But thank you. I just do what I like, work hard and listen to you. It was my dream to play the guitar from my childhood. And you help me to make it, to make my dream true. I uploaded the file again https://www.dropbox.com/s/izk5b2emxdolndo/t...0guitar%202.m4a I recorded new BB as you say (only my guitar) But next weekend I will correct it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/gm4za6hj4bhfs3z/B...-Breath%202.m4a I would like to tell you more. I meet many people who teach people to play the guitar in Russia. They ask me sometimes to advice them how to teach, how to find students. They think that I am a good manager and can help them. I have only one answer- be like Cosmin: a very nice man and a super guitarist with a great soul.

Thank you for brightening up my day man
Really, you have no clue how much these thoughts mean to me..Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I think you did a great job with the Breakin Benjamin song! Why not make a video There are slight moments in which the guitar sounds a bit out of tune, but everything else is really nice! It's obvious you like it The Voice Well, you are on the good way - you learned the structure, but now, you must focus on two important aspects: timing and correct pitches when bending! Deal? Try to record against the original take to make sure you nail them all Keep rocking mate! Cosmin QUOTE (pavelducati @ Feb 16 2014, 02:44 PM) Hi, Cosmin. I did not think about a talent. But thank you.

Hi,Cosmin.
There is Saturday finally and I can spend all weekend for playing the guitar. Today I recorded two lessons: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vxi0vlxwjfuxc4r/t...0guitar%203.m4a https://www.dropbox.com/s/2b1sjedg2ql4vo9/Bullet%202.m4a And I am going to spend all Sunday to correct mistakes. I know bends and vibrato are very important but they are hard for me. I suppose these technics make guitar more life-full (or live) and nice

Hi,Cosmin.
I am working on the "the voice" lesson. As usual I will record on the weekend. Today I saw one technic on youtube and I would like to ask you about this technic. https://www.dropbox.com/s/d1l6israi3u9jbb/%...%2016.28.02.png Why does he play this way? I always forget to ask you. I noticed that you like PRS guitar. I sold my Horizon and decided to spent a serious money and buy PRS. Unfortunately In Russia it's impossible to test PRS we have no PRS in our shops. There are some reasons why I decided to buy PRS: - PRS is very beautiful - BB,Alter Bridge and you play on PRS and I like their sound. So I would like to ask your opinion about models. I am thinking about McCartty,Mark Tremonti. I don't know the difference between them. I suppose that Tremonti is like Les Paul and I would not like to buy the guitar with the sound like LP. Well, my mind is exploring ..

Hey matey!
It's flashy looking technique made popular by Steve Va and Joe Satriani - it actually mutes the strings so that you can play legato with the left hand without worrying about the unwanted sounds that the open strings would make, if they would not be blocked by the grip of the right hand. They would ring free and make a lot of noise Well, yeah man, I love PRS guitars and this month I actually became an endorser for them: http://www.prsguitars.com/artists/profile/cosmin_lupu  After almost 4 years of waiting, it finally happened!I will have to make a Tremonti and a Santana demo next month so I can tell you more about them. What sort of a budget do you have in mind? I can make a recommendation based on that
