I've always wanted to play guitar, but never really got serious about it. So now I'm just about 40 and I've decided to put some hard work into it whenever I can. I'm an old metal head at heart, but enjoy all kinds of music, rock, blues, classical, neoclassical and the list goes on. I work away from home, so when I'm back home on a month's leave, I've decided to put 2 or 3 hours a day into learning what I can. To me important is to learn it right and not how fast I can play it at first. Any advice is most welcome, cause it's kind of hard to know where to start and to self assess myself as far as my playing abilities are concerned. The gear I use: Gibson Flying V ESP LTD Epiphone LP Washburn Acoustic Cube 80 XL Amp Pandora synthesizer As far as my musical goals are concerned: I'd love to understand how music theory works and its building blocks and be able to comfortably apply it into my playing. I've learned a few songs and scales from tab, but don't have the understanding of how it was built and why it sounds the way it does, as if everything is in the right place, "if that makes sense". I've always loved music and it has been a huge part of my life, ever since I have been about 11 years old. I enjoy listening to artist such as: Judas Priest, Iron Maidon, Accept, Megadeth, Metallica, Stone Sour, G&R, Helloween, Merciful Fate, AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Amorphis, Jeff Loomis, Neurosis and many more. I really love the style of Neoclassical Metal and I do have a goal of being able to play canon rock smoothly some day. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm sure I'll get used to navigating round the site and am beginning my first lesson from it today. Considering that it'll be after my shift at work, "yep, brought my guitar with me to Ethiopia", it'll only be about an hour, but that's more than no practice at all.

Sep 5 2013, 07:17 AM	GMC:er Posts: 22 Joined: 26-August 13 From: Poland/Ethiopa	Hello and thanks for the input. I shall certainly look into it. It felt different, "more disciplined", sitting down yesterday to practice. I started off with a good warm up, then one position of the E Harmonic minor and actually learned a simple melodic solo from the site which really left me feeling good about it. I really look forward to learning and eventually advancing in my playing. Rock on QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Sep 4 2013, 05:27 PM) Hi & welcome to the site!

Rock on Glad to hear you are already working hard That sense of accomplishment that we get at the end of a day, when someone would ask us: 'hey, what have you learned today?' and we can just pick up the guitar and show them, is totally amazing. I think that you should be able to do this every single day in which you practice It doesn't have to be something very complex, necessarily, but it has to be something.

Giving yourself bite size little chunks to learn. That way you can keep feeling the sense of achievement without overloading your shoulders with too much. Whenever you feel ready to start tackling vibrato and string bending get in touch.. I've got some lessons that bust the techniques down to ultra manageable You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
