Hey mate! This is your thread! I'd like to start by asking you a few things about yourself, such as what knowledge do you have so far and where you'd see yourself in the near future, regarding guitar playing and what sort of music inspires you

'Sup instructor ?! Thanks for take me in, even if i have not resest my subscription yet^^.
Let me introduce my self, My name's Paul 25 years old and started to playing guitar at 19, so its been 6 years....
All learned by myself with playing stuff like punk/neo metal and old school metal ( iron maiden > all ), then i grabed into Melodic death metal and play stuff like Dark tranquillity, In flames, Soilwork.
I like a lot modern heavy metal and Prog with band like Visions divine, Nocturnal Rites, Nightmare....
Actually im playing in a symphonic metal band, since 1 years, but i cant say im enjoying it like hell... for me its more like... training
Where i see me in the near future ?
Well, since some time, ive becomed fan of metalcore and all sort of modern metal with syncopated rythms ( Threat signal, Fear factory, Mnemic, Periphery, Textures ) and this is it, the moment when i can say, " Ok i don't know playing guitar".
Im really stuck with these weird rythmics but i fucking love them and i want to play THAT stuff !!!! im not trying to say that i want to be able to play Bleed of messhugah, but i think i have not reach my fully potential.
HELPP ME COSMIIIIIIIN
My two really big problems for now ( without counting my very bad english ) are :
- Stamina ( you have to know my weight is 60kg , im not a viril muscled metalhead ) cause even if ive succeed to learn a hard riff, what is the use if i can play it only for 10 sec?
- Speed and precision ( no place for errors at 180 bpm... )

Hey Paul! Mate, you've come to the right place - I LOVE In FLames, Threat signal, Fear factory, Mnemic, Periphery, Textures LITERALLY. I would say we need to focus on a rhythm oriented approach in order to get the riff motor chugging and in the same time develop a precise katana sharp technique.
For setting off with the right foot in both directions at once, I would suggest you telling me if this lesson is too easy for you and especially if you understand the theoretical aspects on which it was built? ;)visions u

All the rhythmic subdivisions used in the styles above start from ideas such as this. What do you think?

woow you hurting me Cosmin ! lool.
I see what you want me to learn, but im already pretty good at alternate picking and i think these picking rythms variation are too easy for me. To tell you my lvl i will say you that i am actually learning Through my eyes by Threat signal ( at 150 bpm, this song is actually at 166 )
this is the top i can play
I usually play lesson lvl 5 on gmc
Anyway, i gonna learn it,it cant be bad, but if you have other stuff, i take^^
Thanks for mentoring Cosmin
