Hi! Welcome aboard! I am very happy that you have decided to join my mentoring program!!!
I have a few questions before we start! It will give me a better idea about what assignments to give you!
-What are your goals?
-What is your weakness?
-What is your strongest point?
-Your favorite guitar players?
I am looking forward to start working with you!!!!
Awesome! How about we will start with an exercise that will develop your technique and timing! It's a very cool exercise that will help you a lot!
Make sure to practice it using a metronome at a very slow tempo!

Thanks I Listened to it, and I will get a video as soon as I can
Bas Cuthach
You did a very good job! I would like you to add those exercises into your warming up routine!
Also I think you can slow down a little bit and really play every note with a right dynamic and tone!In the mean time I will work on a scale assignment for you!
Looking forward to the scale assignment, is there a lesson I can work on while I wait
Awesome! Here is a very cool scale exercise! It is a G major scale but it has very interesting shapes that will get stuck in your head much faster! Make sure to practice it slow using a metronome!

Cool, I listened to it and it sounds interesting, I use tuxguitar, I have been adding that last one into my warm ups and its becoming smoother for me to play, I have lots to learn so I will get you a vid asap,
It has been a vary busy week for me, I have not practice in a week, Im hoppnig to get back on track now, I have just started learning the G Major Exercise, so give me a few days and I will get you a video
ok I have a hard time string jumping and this was more a challenge than it sound at first, I did the video considering my weakness so you can see and help me over come this, deep breath and here it is
It does look like Im using my index finger, no I have a pick, this was day 2 of playing it, Im sure with more practice I can do better, Ill give it some more time
so you say you know a lot about theory, maybe this is what we should start talking about, I still want to do the exercise's, I will give each one a few days and show you what I have and then you can decide if I need to go up or down, I want to read the http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=33779 and I'm sure I will have lots of questions, what your idea on this?
other answers on last post
1. F A C
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
4. dont quote that, there are 4 octaves on the guitar,
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
well the open high E is the same as my low E 24th fret
there are 4 sharps in the E Major scale
here is a video I found, Is been a while since I watched it
the wheel of fifths
1 2 3 4 5
C D E F G A B C
______ 1 2 3 4 5
______ G A B C D E F# G
_____________ 1 2 3 4 5
_____________ D E F# G A B C# D
and so on
the note on the inner part of the circle of fifths is the relative minor
a saying to help me remember part of the wheel is "Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battles"
the modes are - Ionian Dorian Phrygian Lydian Mixolydian Aeolian Locrain
What I play
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
and
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
the major scale is built - tone - tone - semi tone - tone - tone - tone - semi tone
Here is my take On the G Major Scale and Dorian Mode
I tell you all this to give an idea of what I know, to better help you understand what I know, if you know what I know then you can help me learn what I dont know and correct me when Im wrong and help me understand why, this is most of what i know about theory
Wow! Thank you for making it clear for me! You know a lot and it's very good I will keep explaining you new things as we go along!! I think we can start getting into improvisation a little bit more! I think blues would be a good start!
Here is cool blues track in E
http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/blues-mentoring
Over B7
B minor blues pentatonic in this position
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
In a few days we will start a new mentoring approach it will be like a collab but just you and me!
For now I would like you to come up with a first 8 solo bars using backing track and scales I have provided!
Please mix your solo in the track and leave the rest without cutting it so we can start adding parts back and forth!
Let me know if you have any questions or need help!
Sounds Good all thought sound cloud seems to have a problem
I will start playing with the scales to get a better feel for them and also
if you could write the chords out so I can learn them
I know not blues licks so I get video and give you my best, give me few days
Here is what Im working with

I think I have this right?
when ever your ready to carry on
Yes my friend, that means I am ready for the next lesson or the next thing your ready to teach me
can you tab out what you played so I can learn it and then build off that? also if you put it in a .gp5 file only, that would work for me, you dont have to tab it out in the forum
sorry, its been a busy few weeks with lots of new things happening, things might start getting back on track soon, I do want to learn Egyptian scales, I was wondering if you could give me some licks to play for that last assignment, By the way I Like the name change

Sorry I have not gotten back to you, ever since I took up the band I have been busy learning new songs, once I have them down I can get back to doing this stuff, most the stuff Im learning is chord changes with rhythm and a few licks, plus my friend that asked me to join the band has been teaching me theory, Im starting to get my practice routine back on track, thanks for checking up on me and thanks for telling me to stay with the band
its been a lot of fun, I have learned a lot of new things, the songs are preset and the band leader has been teaching me them and says I sound great and is doing a great job, as this account is paid up till some time next year I would hate to see it go to waste and the miles is eating a hole in my wallet, I have some thinking to do, thanks for stopping by and I hope to get recordings as I still have to learn the licks and do the lessons
Here is what I have been working on, http://www.musictheory.net/lessons , I have gone through and am currently in the middle of introduction to chords
I just wanted to follow up and see how are you doing? I can start explaining you theory little by little if you want! Let me know!
http://www.musictheory.net/lessons explains things really good, I took a break and worked the Jukebox festival here in Anderson California, I am kinda taking a break for a couple days to relax from work, you can create a quiz from what I have learned so far, I know that I will have to go back over things as a refresher
Change of Plans, music appreciation, what is it, what should I know, who is who and what is what, you post youtube videos and I listen and watch, also I can research to and we can discuss what I find sound good?
learning and understanding music in different era's, styles how they became, songs, stuff like that, Beethoven, Mozart, just to name a few, before them and after them, I have a book with a few I can check out to and I can post about them to, this will help me build my style, even create licks in the they style of
ya something like that
Something I wrote today
http://soundcloud.com/bascuthach/creations-1
The Chord progression sounds good
I showed a friend and he showed me on a piano how I would work it out, now I have to sit and work it out, also I want to try and record a video when I get it down, first I have to sit, with the band and all I have been busy, soon I hope to be back at the computer learning
Hi! I just wanted to follow up and see how are you doing?
Soon I will be back into doing lessons, Im dropping the band for the last 6 months of my subscription, I have like 2 weeks left in the band, also there are other reason why Im stopping the band, I hope to rejoin the the band after time has passed
slowly getting back on track, after the fire we where in a temporary place, now we have found a place and I am slowly getting things set back up, the studio is built but the garage is a mess and its getting cold out side, so when I have my other computer set back up I then can get back into recording and learning
Thanks, so I was looking into phrasing and I was watching a video, and the guy said I need to know the fret board inside and out, I have been playing with the G major scale, the E minor scale and A Dorian scale, I was using a site that plays chord progressions, I was trying to make it work, I will try to get a video in the next few days to show you what I have been doing
It sounded very good! Nice additions of classical music! Very well done! I think you can develop it a little bit more towards the middle and than drop it back to the beginning melody!
I like the whole idea a lot also would be cool if you can upload the backing track so I can give you some suggestions about the arrangement!
To develop it more I need to take a better look at what Im using and what Im doing, the backing is a simple progression, lets look at the scale shapes Im using and make better use of them, the shapes are
G Major Ionian
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
G Major Dorian
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
E Minor - Note: I can not provide a good look at the shape due to its location and given positions on the scale generator so for now I will build it in the A Minor location, here it is
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
where to go from here, how to build from this?
I would Like to add one more that I have been learning
B - Phrigan
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
I did notice that I had wrote A Dorian Wrong after I added the last scale, I took a look at the scale you made and modified it a little and came up with this
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
Is there suppose to be 2 F# notes 1 right after another?
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator
I was gunna ask a question about this and went to quote it and notice there was suppose to be a youtube link, hope this works
if it worked there should be a youtube video here
the attachments are the music theory notes that you gave me, looks like something I would have to play on a piano
the question is about the left hand and the right hand, playing on a piano
[attachment=29887:post_143...44530863.png]
Every thing I want to learn, how chords are made, I know the major and minor chords, scales/Modes, melodies, Rhythm Guitar,Licks, song building, Music styles, What ever you can teach me
what happens to all this stuff we wrote? maybe you can give me a bunch of lessons to learn?
