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.

QUOTE (tomrip @ Oct 24 2011, 02:11 PM)  I have been playing guitar for 15 years. when i started, i just started learning songs instead of scales. eventually i started writing. www.myspace.com/page13 was my last band. i wrote all the music for them. i am proud of my accomplishments, but feel like i am in a rut. I have gotten so used to, and love playing wide open choruses, i have not got to work on djent style rhythm. i saw your video for break down in drop a, which cause me to do two things. 1st sign up here, 2nd i bought the ibanez mushnook off ebay. I love your rhythmic playing, and your runs you do, but i am having a hard time playing them. Do you recommend a good starting point. thanks, keep up the good work. Hey man! Thank you for the kind words! Playing on a baritone guitar is a little bit trickier as it's scale is longer, thus the position shifts are a wider and the neck thicker - in the case of the Ibanez MMM. Now, if you want to start learning polyrhythmic grooves and other associated elements, here's how I see things: - learn rhythmic subdivisions and work on as many combinations between them - being able to think of a bar as divided into sixteenth notes helps a lot. - start using a recording software ( if you're not already doing it) that offers the possibility of writing drums, bass and other instruments - orchestrating will be a great and important part of this whole process. - I experimented with various let's say, unorthodox chord positions as they gave me a special sound and helped me create beautiful melodies. This process is lengthy and it will require exercise and a lot of experimentation with the drums groove writing  You can start by taking a look at my whole Metal Metrics Series and at the freshly started Djent Series: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Metal-Metrics-1/ (the other 3 lessons in the series can be found at the bottom of the page including Metal Metrics 1) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Djent-Time-Signatures/ I am here to assist so, do ask any questions you might encounter along the way  Cosmin |
