Mad's Picking Madness, for Gab's Army |
HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* 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 Mad!! Welcome to your Gab's Army thread!!
Could you please tell me a bit about you, your musical tastes, influences, strengths and weaknesses? I would need some videos of you playing rhythm and solo guitar, so please post your best material here. If you have some music or ideas of your own, also post them here. Also let me know how you think that I can help you and what are your expectations for our job. You can check the other Army's thread to discover the different modalities of this project. The principles of our Army are: + Improve your technique + Make music and solos + Have fun + Destroy the enemy (hahaha not realy just kidding... ) -------------------- My lessons

Hi mad! The youtube video is private so I cannot see it. The other samples sound good. The patterns could sound tighter with the tempo. Also, the idea of these patterns is to also move them along the whole string in A minor. This means that you play 4 repetitions and then you move to the following position. If this is not clear, please join my Vchat later today where I will review the ITC course.

The video sounds good! The only comment that I have is that it would be better if you pick the first note öf each beat with a downstroke. The accentuation will be easier to do a more natural than starting with an upstroke. Does this make sense?

QUOTE (mad @ Dec 29 2012, 04:40 PM)  Thanks! Well, regarding the downstroke at the first beat: I play it, but the video isn't that good synchronised, sorry. I'll upload a take of the patterns asap and a very slow take of hand synch soon! ahh ok! so let's forget the comment!

Thank you
 Well - to be honest, the last days I spent more than half an hour working on AP-techniques (got some free time). So I do few sessions a day each 30-60mins.. as long as I'm not too tensed while playing it's OK (I think). Today I was able to speed up even a little bit more without messing up too much (few slips here and there). But when I remember the days before I dreamed to play these simple patterns at that speed Here we go.. Pattern 1 @ 125bpm (this one was really like a WOW-effect for me  )https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/pattern1-125bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 Pattern2 @ 110bpm https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/pattern2-110bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 Pattern3 @ 105bpm https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/pattern3-105bpm?in=mad-gmc/sets/gabs-army-week1 |
