A fantastic piece of software I use, is Neck Diagrams. You can create and organise your scale patterns, arpeggio patterns in a really professional looking way, much easier than how I used to do it with pen and paper.

The main software that I use for practice is my paper notepad:
 You will identify some GMC lessons there! There I write down and organize my guitar routines, things to work, songs in progress and everything related to my guitar playing. I also write there future ideas and goals which I try to achieve with my weekly tasks. It's awesome how much effective our time can become when we write down the things we have to do to achieve our objectives. Regarding software, I'm a very old school guys, I just use a daw and other stuff for composing and recording but not for practicing. For practicing it's enough with metronome, drum loops and backing tracks for me. I used to learn shred songs from cassettes so I can live without slower down software and tabs.

I also use my paper notepad for the exact same purposes as he does 
I use guitar pro a bunch but I don't pull a Lucas Mann and pretend I"m playing when it's midi 
I really like how you can slow things down in guitar pro and it's great for teaching!|

I use the poor persons version of Guitar Pro, Tuxguitar, it's really helpful for me to jot down idea's and you start to slowly learn about rhythm notation (which to me is the hardest thing about reading music)
The important thing is not to get so carried away with some of the tools that you are learning them more than the guitar! -------------------- My SoundCloud

QUOTE (Carmine Marotta @ Jul 7 2014, 09:49 AM) Quite well, Cosmin; thanks for asking. I am working on my guitar teacher assignment: Stormy Monday for rythm and the first solo of All Along the Watchtower and Confortably Numb for lead. So no much time left for GMC at the moment. Regards Carmine Interesting stuff Carmine! Are you learning the songs by ear? It would be very useful if you practice the lessons using backing tracks to feel like playing them in a real band. It's also useful to take the concepts and scales used in the original solos and create your own variations and improvisations. Here are some that I found: -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Carmine Marotta @ Jul 7 2014, 03:36 PM) HI Gabriel and thanks. It is vey nice that instructors at GMC give suggestions on every aspect of learning and not only on their own lesson and I really appreciate this. Regarding your question; for rhythm/chords lessons my teacher pick up a song, gave my the chords progression and a basic rhythm. Then I practice the song using big open chords or "usual" bar chords against a backing track. Once I know well the progression and internalize the rhythm the fun begins. I have to play the song using small voicing chords, triads and/or inversions, up to the guitar neck. Then from the small voicing I add embellishment Hendrix style. At the end I put all together playing against the original record. I need a lot of time but a big satisfaction at the end of the process. After all this I should be able to play Beginner lessons here at GMC but I still struggle with them  Once again thanks, Carmine That's really cool Carmine! It's a very complete workout for learning songs. However, I'm confused. That workout that includes chords, triads, small voicing, seems to be advanced. Which beginner's corner lessons are giving you problems? -------------------- My lessons

I guess that I can not play songs note by note and there is a lot of individuality in there, while lessons should be played like they are
