Hello! Great to hear that you joined GMC. Your English is fine. It's my first language (and only one ) and I understand you perfectly. You must give yourself time to progress. It sometimes takes more time. I am weak with sweep picking, but right now I'm working on tight rhythm playing. It is my strong point, and so getting better at that keeps me going. So practice mainly on your strong points to keep you motivated, but also focus on the weak points from time to time. Point being, just don't burn yourself out.
So you like progressive metal, I think I read that right? Have you heard of Red Seas Fire? Welcome to GMC!! Brandon Burch |

Thanks! And you are right, I know basic chord, like major, minor, 7, etc..; and basic scale, like major minor, Im starting to look into pentatonic...My problem is to put all that together, I can't find out, but as you say, I try to learn new things each time I practice. Can you guide me to any lessons on the site to help me to build chord progression and how to use scale? Anyway, thanks for your answers Pentatonics! - you already have a plan, which is very good! Great choice. Pentatonic scales are an essential part of guitar music, and you will see that they are used as a starting point and core of any scale. Almost any song of heavy, rock, pop genre, you can't imagine without the pentatonic scales. So check out this lessons.. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/pentatonic/ |

By the mean time, I like the way some of the lessons show the chord used in real time, it helped me understand how lick are build. If i get it right, there is always a background chord like, lets say G, and while that chord is being played for like, lets say 1-2 bar, your lick for those measure will be the note from the G chord? I know i sound weird, but Im a logical person and I need to understand things in order to move foward Anyway thanks again! |
