QUOTE (valentino @ Jan 21 2009, 05:45 PM)  Hey mate! Seem like I have a really big problem with fingers independience.  The index finger issue comes by this, I'll make a video with an exercise to show you the problems I have, so maybe we need to spend some time to correct it. Ok, here is the video... Hi! You do one big mistake: you keep your fingers in the frets even if you don´t need them. Here´s a video again.  It´s just a matter of time. Your brain has to get used to playing guitar. You´ll see that in a few months the things that you did not that good in the last weeks will seem obvious for you. If you like, you can practise these lessons on Finger Independence. They should be really helpful. QUOTE (valentino @ Jan 21 2009, 08:21 PM) Heeyy!! Here is the video of the lesson. When I play the fingerpicked strings in my amp they sound ok, but when I plug it on the soundcard sounds like they are muted, I tried changing the equalization but seems to be a problem with the high frequecies input. I spent a lot of time practicing the finger independence, so today I only did the actual lesson  This was a bad day mate  I hope you got a better day than me That take was perfect. It´s just a pity that you have problems with the EQ. Could you maybe upload a take where you play through your amp so that I can hear your hybrid picking? I have a bad day, too. I´m tired the whole day, I overslept in the bus so that I came home later than usual, etc.  Everyhing´s clear? Tolek |

Hey there!!
I'm doing the first 2 videos of this lesson to improve finger independence https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...independence-I/ When I do the first one I don't find any problem, but when I do the second I find problems. First when I fret with the little finger on the low E string I mute the A string, I must work on doing a gentle arc to avoid the muting. And another issue is my ring finger (and a bit the little finger too), I find very hard to move it down alone so I need to practice it. Well, now the videos. The sweep motion is going well, but I practise it with Am and C chords so I can concentrate in the sweeping. And here's the blues video. With the amp and the micro the high frequencies sounds better, but they still sound low though in the amp sounds ok, so maybe is a sound card problem I feel better today cause I'm finding the parts I really must practice. Cheers!! Valentin -------------------- If somebody finds a slice of finger call me please, surely is mine

QUOTE (valentino @ Jan 26 2009, 01:36 PM) No problem mate! I haven't had time this weekend to do anything. The only productive thing I did was a jam session with my cousin. I was in his house all weekend. I keep practicing, as always Cheers! Valentin Hi! You had a jam session? Awesome! When doing this, you get so much experience... Very good! Week N°3 has already begun and I have to introduce you to the next lesson. However, I want you still to practise the Blues Groove Lesson and the Finger Independence Exercices. Details will follow with your practise plan. I chose the Tarantella Rock Lesson by Joe Kataldo. "Tarantella" means "spider" in Italian and is a folk dance which time signature is mostly 3/8, 6/8 or 12/8, it depends on the song. Start by learning what notes you have to play while taking care of the rhythm. At first very slowly. If you posted a video tomorrow, it would be very good, I could immediately correct you! This lesson starts in E natural minor (very short) and changes later on to E harmonic minor (the leading-tone (=7th degree) is D#). The second part of the lesson starts in G Major which is the relative Major scale of E minor and it ends in G Major, too. There is nothing special, harmonically speaking, just a modulation to the relative Major scale, as I said. I´m looking forward to the video, my friend! Cheers, Tolek |
