Warrioroflight's Technique Training, for Gab's Army |
HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* 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?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hey mate! This is your personal thread for Gab's Army, my mentoring project. The idea is to start together an intensive training to take your technique to a new level. Please share here your favourite musicians and also audio or videos of you playing different techniques.
The principles of our Army are: + Improve your technique + Make music and solos + Have fun + Destroy the enemy (hahaha not realy just kidding... ph34r.gif ) -------------------- My lessons

Hey Gabriel!
Thank you very much for letting me join the army! I am very willing to fucking destroy the enemy! ;-) So maybe first a liitle bit about me... I´m 29 years old, living in germany... i started to play the guitar about 12/13 years ago BUT i never took lessons! I teached everything by myself, with youtube, guitar pro and a few advices from friends who also played the guitar! And thats my problem! i never had anyone who showed me how to do and learn techniques the right way... So now i hope i can find here some help! :-) I have enough time to practice (almost) every day because i earn my money with playing guitar/6 string banjo in an irish folk band... wee play every weekend two or three gigs...and during the week i teach the guitar to beginners... so i´m a so called "professional muscian"... ;-) Here is a live video from my band: (i´m the banjo guy^^) http://youtu.be/QptHb50-w0k my favourite music is of course heavy metal... despite that irish folk stuff... favourite musicians/guitar players... so, only to name a few... Jari Mäenpää ( Wintersun) Alexi Laiho ( Children Of Bodom/Sinergy ) Satchel (Steel Panther) Kai Hansen (Gamma Ray) Maybe not because of his guitar palying but awesome song writing... Wolf Hoffmann ( Accept) now we come to favourite bands: Sabaton Battle Beast Nightwish Edguy Avantasia Ozzy osbourne Airbourne Norther Sonata Arctica i think thats enough now to know my taste of music... The main reason why i am looking to get helf with my playing is because i want to get a lot better (of course :-) ) But few months ago i got told that my timing is shitty and i shall put more feeling into my play... so thats one point... the other is really to get faster in soloing and stuff... wow... sorry to bother you with that shit^^ now i´ll stop and make a video where i play some stuff for you! Cheers |

Hi mate! I really liked your video playing Banjo! You guys sound really good! My friend Lian Gerbino, an old instructor here introduce me into the Irish music, and the folk metal so I have heard many stuff and I can say that you are really good!
The first that we have to do is to create a guitar routine to practice every day. The only way to become faster is practising diary, exercises and lesson, as a training. How many time do you have to practice each day? Do you have any video in which you play Metal Rhythm? If not, let's choose a lesson from here, learn it and record it. -------------------- My lessons

Thanks for the fast answer mate!
So, as i said, i have plenty of time to practice! i think i can manage four to six hours a day... exept for the weekends... there i have only like one hour to practice but i have to play a three hour gig... so i think its also kind of practice^^ I recorded a video with some metal rythm for you! Its one video with two clips, one is your stratovarius style rythm and the other is the nightwish style! ( both in one video!!) i´d liove to hear your opinion about it! cheerz! http://youtu.be/MyjCQcwg2Jo |

Hi mate! That's a good amount of time for practising! I checked both takes and the overall is very good. I can notice some timing issues, even more notorious in the Stratovarius lesson, sometimes you play a bit before or after the beat. Nightwish lesson is better but there is still room for playing it tighter. But this is not something very serious, you will fix this issue soon if we dedicate a part of your diary routine to rhythm practice.
Let's start designing your routine. What about dividing your day in this 4 blocks: Warming Up Hour 1: Alternate picking Hour 2: Legato & Sweep Picking Hour 3: Bending, Vibrato & Rhythm Hour 4: Theory, learning songs/solos, Jamming and/or Composing. -------------------- My lessons

Ok! Here we go with the exercises!
Warming Up https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Arpeggios/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&id=26140 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&id=26098 Hour 1: Alternate picking Patterns: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&id=26102 Example of how to work on them horizontally and vertically ITC Lesson 5: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=42830 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Modal-...tring-patterns/ Hour 2: Legato & Sweep Picking Legato: Kotzen Pattern: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&id=26143 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Land-Of-Legato/ Sweep Picking: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=43083 Hour 3: Bending, Vibrato & Rhythm Bending & Vibrato: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/guitar_loves_piano/ Rhythm: Continue practicing Stratovarius Style lesson and add another Power/Thrash Metal Rhythm lesson. Some suggestions: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/German...etal-Helloween/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/German...IV-Primal-Fear/ Hour 4: Theory, learning songs/solos, Jamming and/or Composing This part is the most creative one. The idea is that you learn 1 new thing every day about theory: A new scale, a new chord, a new arpeggio and practice applying it. Here you have a good guide: LINK Use this last hour also for jamming over backing tracks and record your own ideas. -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Great to hear from you! This sounds really good to me. Let's start with a new 2 hours routine so you can dedicate the rest of the time to composing. I added an exercise for timing and for analysing songs. Please check it out and tell me what you think...

Here you have a good guide: LINK HOUR 2: Rhythm: (20 minutes) Continue practicing Stratovarius Style lesson and add another Power/Thrash Metal Rhythm lesson. Some suggestions: Helloween Style Primal Fear Style - Timing (20 minutes) Timing exercise - Analysing songs: (20 minutes) Dedicate some time to analize songs and to write down it's structures, chord progressions, and arranging details. Template table: Structure // What's happening (arrangements, intruments, tempo, rhythm) // Chord progression & scales used (theory) This post has been edited by Gabriel Leopardi: Nov 12 2013, 04:02 PM -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! That's the tricky part of Alternate Picking, and I have special exercises that practiced every day will show exciting results. So don't worry about this.
Crossing strings I Crossing strings II Crossing strings III Please work on those 3 lessons over metronome for 10 days. Incorporate them to your routine during the AP section. Remind me in 10 days to give you the second part of this. -------------------- My lessons
