GMC LESSON #94 - INTENSE ALTERNATE/ECONOMIC PICKING
GMC LESSON 94 Direct Link http://bit.ly/gmclesson94 CLICK HERE TO JOIN CHAT ROOM @ 5PM EST 10PM GMT https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/chat In this lesson we are going to complete our Trilogy of Intense Alternate / Economic Picking work that we started in Lesson 88. Each of these has used the same backing so all of the licks will work with that backing. And all these licks are in the key of A Minor. So you can use all of them to solo in A Minor agaisnt just about any A Minor Backing. Let's warm up and get going! FINGER YOGA! Let�s do our usual Finger Yoga stretches. Here is a link to the video for references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvVMNdc6Tg Here is a custom OVERLOUD TH1 TRIODE Patch for you guys for today. Lesson94TH1.xml.zip ( 13.89K ) Number of downloads: 179 We are going to need our stretch and our speed today. Let's start with the stretch. We are going to dive back in to our "Tripeggios!". Here we go. WARMING UP TO PREP FOR FINGER TORTURE (The Warmup is actually also Part I ) Let's try our new Tripeggio pattern for today. It's our same Tripeggio shape form the other two in this series but we are adding a twist. Once we get the pattern down, we are going to play it twice and march it down the neck and try it on other strings. It will get really, really, really hard the further down the neck we go. Once we reach the firs fret, if you can pull this off, congratulations, you are there 94_Warmup.gp5 ( 1.51K ) Number of downloads: 152 Let's work on a fairly complext descending pattern. It's in A Minor per usual. EXTENDED "CRAZY" TRIPEGGIOS Now that we have some muscle memory built up, we are going to use the modified tripeggio in key, as a solo lick with our backing track. First, let's look at the shape. 94_2.gp5 ( 1.8K ) Number of downloads: 149 This can be played as a sort of sweep and hammer/pull off, or it can be picked. Let's try it both ways. So let's loop this, march it up the neck, and try it on other strings. This will work the living daylights out of your fingers and maximize your stretch. It will pay off by making your pinky much stronger and faster. Once we get it up to speed, let's play it with our backing! You should be very familiar with our backing at this point. TripeggioSeries_BackingTrack.mp3 ( 726.45K ) Number of downloads: 152 DOWN BY FOURS Let's give our fingers a tiny break and focus on a descending pattern called "Fours" or going down four notes, then back to what would have been the next note in a give scale. We are going to continue to use a Minor. Be sure to Palm Mute this and alternate pick it. Let's double pick it if possible. And try it in different octaves. 94_3.gp5 ( 2.16K ) Number of downloads: 147 HOMEWORK Try to give this a shot and we will break it down in a future lesson. 94_4.gp5 ( 1.86K ) Number of downloads: 137 This concludes our TRIPEGGIO TRILOGY! If you made it this far, you RAWK! Todd This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jul 21 2012, 04:29 PM |

GMC LESSON 95 Direct Link http://bit.ly/gmclesson95 CLICK HERE TO JOIN CHAT ROOM @ 5PM EST 10PM GMT https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/chat In this lesson we are going to focus on our speed, our stretch, our legato and our picking. Quite a bit of ground to cover, but we can do it Let's warm up and get going! FINGER YOGA! Let�s do our usual Finger Yoga stretches. Here is a link to the video for references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvVMNdc6Tg NEW GUITAR RIG 4 PRESET (Lesson 95 Patch) *SUPER HIGH GAIN PATCH. Notice the settings on the compressor. This patch assumes you are not using any hardware preamp or anything. It's super sick gain can be too much with an external preamp. This patch is from this weekends upcoming lesson 95. All of the lessons can be found in the wiki, thank goodness for Fran! http://bit.ly/twtgmc Here is a preview, the patch and a screen grab. Lesson95_GR4PatchPreview.mp3 ( 505.02K ) Number of downloads: 140 GMC_Lesson95_Lesson_Day_Patch.ksd.zip ( 5.39K ) Number of downloads: 132 WARMING UP THE FINGERS FOR CRAZYNESS Let's revisit one of my favorite warmups ever. It's so spiff that it works as it's own lesson segment. I just love this lick. It's from LESSON 34 Warmup.gp5 ( 1.76K ) Number of downloads: 117 PLAYING CRAZY RYTHM PARTS Let's work on playing a rather complex guitar rythm and use it work on various techniques. Here is the backing. 95_Backing.mp3 ( 4.9MB ) Number of downloads: 159 Let's take a look at the tablature. You will need to make a big stretch with your pinky and bar with your first finger. The rythm is a bit wonky but you can get used to it quickly. The bit has an off time Death Jazz feel to it. Check out the tablature, and once you get the pattern, just move it up to frets and play the same thing and thats part B. *Palm Mute this 95_Crazy_Rythm.gp5 ( 1.69K ) Number of downloads: 144 Let's do a bit with Gabriels current POWER METAL collab. This is a great example of Power Metal Structure.

PowerMetalToddWithBacking.mp3 ( 1.06MB ) Number of downloads: 158 Let's try one of these licks. It's not a hard one, but it's played a bit brisk. Let's see if we can do it at speed once we work up to it. Power_Metal.gp5 ( 1.61K ) Number of downloads: 133 This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jul 21 2012, 04:40 PM |

Thanks for coming out to the lesson on Sat guys! It was blast as usual. It's always great to have a full house for a Saturday Metal Meltdown! Hopefully nobody has permanent injury from the finger torture. Remember to try to cool down / stretch a bit after each marathon shred fest.

GMC LESSON 96 - ALL HANDS ON DECK
GMC LESSON 96 Direct Link http://bit.ly/gmclesson96 CLICK HERE TO JOIN CHAT ROOM @ 5PM EST 10PM GMT https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/chat Let's warm up and get going! FINGER YOGA! Let�s do our usual Finger Yoga stretches. Here is a link to the video for references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvVMNdc6Tg Today, we are going to use a bit from the AWESOME new Ben Higgins Collaboration. If you have not signed up for this collab, go sign up! It's just EPIC! Here is the link to Ben's Collab https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=42887 Let's get our fingers up to snuff a bit before we get in to this. We have been working quite a bit on our stretch of late, so hopefully this series will be quite easy. If not easy, hopefully it will be at least possible. let's start easy. But first, here are a couple of Spiff patch/presets. One for OVERLOUD TH1 and one for GUITAR RIG 5. Either one has more than enough gain for today CUSTOM PATCHES/TONES 96_Th1.xml.zip ( 14.97K ) Number of downloads: 142 GuitarRig_5_GMC__96_Lesson__Day.ngrr.zip ( 5.73K ) Number of downloads: 141 BACK TO THE PINKY! GETTING LOST IN THE LAND OF LEGATO Starting of Small 96warmup.gp5 ( 1.5K ) Number of downloads: 121 Very simple shape. Let's play it twice, move it down one fret and play twice again. At first, let's only strike the open string and hammer on the rest. Then let's do it Alternate Pick style to see the difference. Once we've got it, move it all the way down to the first fret for the first finger and then switch down one string and repeat. This functions as an endurance workout and a warmup. HARDER AND FASTER! Adding a bit of a stretch, let's do the same thing as before. But with some work now for our stretch. Let's play it twice, move it down one fret and play twice again. At first, let's only strike the open string and hammer on the rest. Then let's do it Alternate Pick style to see the difference. 96a.gp5 ( 1.49K ) Number of downloads: 141 TRIPLE DOWN! Let's add a third note in to prep for our later work today. Let's play it twice, move it down one fret and play twice again. At first, let's only strike the open string and hammer on the rest. Then let's do it Alternate Pick style to see the difference. 96b.gp5 ( 1.51K ) Number of downloads: 141 A MINOR RETURNS As part of our Backing is in A MINOR and we have been working on hammer ons, let's hammer on A minor. We have done lots of single string work in the past, but typicaly moving a single shape as we did earlier. We are now going to shift the shape at each position so your fingers will need to be precise. At first, let's just strike once per group of 4 notes. Then let's try to alternate pick it. Then double pick of course 96c.gp5 ( 1.68K ) Number of downloads: 142 BONUS: DOUBLE PICKING VERSION OF LESSON C (Special Thanks to GMCer Nihilist1 for making this bonus file!) 96_C_DP.gp5 ( 1.86K ) Number of downloads: 120 TAPPING/HAMMERING WITH BOTH HANDS AND 4 NOTE GROUPS (4 Finger Tapping) This is the part where we put it all together. We've done four finger tapping in the past and it was a bit of a struggle for some, so I thought we could use a bit more practice. Not to mention, we have been doing picking workouts for the past month so I thought a bit of tapping would be a good change of pace 96d.gp5 ( 1.84K ) Number of downloads: 140 BENS BACKING TRACK (Our Chunk of it from Today) BensBackingOurChunk.mp3 ( 1.29MB ) Number of downloads: 162 HOMEWORK We are going to break this down in to chunks later on. Go ahead and have a look at it. 94_4.gp5 ( 1.86K ) Number of downloads: 120 This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jul 21 2012, 04:45 PM |

GMC LESSON 97 - TRIADS OF DOOM
GMC LESSON 9 Direct Link http://bit.ly/gmclesson97 CLICK HERE TO JOIN CHAT ROOM @ 5PM EST 10PM GMT https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/chat Let's warm up and get going! FINGER YOGA! Let�s do our usual Finger Yoga stretches. Here is a link to the video for references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvVMNdc6Tg OVERLOUD TH1 Patch 97th1.xml.zip ( 4.35K ) Number of downloads: 128 Here is a Guitar Rig 4 Preset for Today CUSTOM PATCHES/TONES GuitarRig4_Patch97_CrazyGainTime.mp3 ( 726.45K ) Number of downloads: 118 GuitarRig4_Patch97_CrazyGainTime.ksd.zip ( 5.62K ) Number of downloads: 134 WARMUP AND FINGER TORTURE ALL IN ONE Let's use our triad shape we've been working on and play it four times each position and run it all the way down the neck and back up if possible. Well, let's build to that, 97w.gp5 ( 1.48K ) Number of downloads: 131 RIGHT HAND LEFT HAND SYNCH (Looping Patterns) Let's loop this shape for a bit then play it down the neck to get used to it. We are going to play it against a backing to see how a looped lick can add texture to a rythm track. 97a.gp5 ( 1.51K ) Number of downloads: 151 Let's dip in to that backing track that causes some folks so much trouble a bit back and use it as our backing. Our Lesson 95 Crazy Picking Backing Track. TripeggioSeries_BackingTrack.mp3 ( 726.45K ) Number of downloads: 131 Our Looped shape will work well with this backing. In the key of A. This shape makes a good loop to work on our picking an right hand left hand synchronization. It can be played slow and double picked or played fast and single picked and still sound right with the backing. HERE"S WHERE IT GETS TRICKY We are going to leverage all the spiff PINKY POWER you guys have worked up over this series and introduce a "Pinky Slide" in to our shape. You will use the pinky to slide up to and back from the high note on the 13th fret. 97bfix.gp5 ( 1.5K ) Number of downloads: 123 Now let's do a slightly different version of this that we will chain to together with the first one to make a combo pinky slide lick! 97cfix.gp5 ( 1.51K ) Number of downloads: 145 For our Combo Pinky Slide lick, play Part B, then C, then move C down a whole step, back up a whole step, the back to Shape B. So 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, is the pattern. This should sound cool against our backing. Now let's drop the slide and use your pinky and ring finger to fret the last two notes in each shape. This gives an entirely different feel to the lick. Thanks for coming out to the chat guys You guys always make it a blast! This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jul 21 2012, 05:05 PM |

VIDEO CHAT LESSON 98 - SOLO MADNESS!
GMC LESSON 98 Direct Link http://bit.ly/gmclesson98 CLICK HERE TO JOIN CHAT ROOM @ 5PM EST 10PM GMT https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/chat Let's warm up and get going! FINGER YOGA! Let’s do our usual Finger Yoga stretches. Here is a link to the video for references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvVMNdc6Tg GABE's LED ZEP COLLABORATION In this lesson we are going to use Gabe's killer LED ZEP collab as our backing. Here is the link to the Collab. *Here is the GUITAR RIG 5 Custom Patch used in this take. GMC_Lesson_98_Lesson_Day_.ngrr.zip ( 5.35K ) Number of downloads: 146 *Here is a TH1 Triode Patch as well for this lesson. GMC98_TH1_Patch.xml.zip ( 4.77K ) Number of downloads: 110 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...c=42912&hl= Here is a link to my youtube vid with solo take. These are the licks we are going to try to work on today. WARMING UP THE FINGERS Let's do a bit of warmup work before we start in. It's good practice to warm up your fingers and your picking hand with a decent bit of work at the start of any practice. Building endurance each time you play really helps. 98w.gp5 ( 1.49K ) Number of downloads: 112 This is a very simple shape. Let's run this up and down the neck all the way back to fret number 1. First, let's do it with one pick sroke per string and then let's alternate pick. We are going to use this shape today in our licks. The first lick is one we have discussed at length so it should be pretty easy. This is the LICK #1 - A MINOR INVERSION (QUICK REVIEW OF PREVIOUS MATERIAL) You guys should know this lick back and forth by now. So let's single and double pick this. LICK #2 - Pentatonic Fun This lick has few notes but lots of picking. Play it palm muted. 98_2.gp5 ( 1.63K ) Number of downloads: 135 LICK #3 - Single String Work We have done lots of this so it should be pretty easy to pick this up. Let's play this on a few different strings to work on our reach and let's double pick it. 98_3.gp5 ( 1.79K ) Number of downloads: 133 LICK #4 - Running Up The Neck A Minor run up the neck. Not very fast, just moving a lot. Palm mute if possible. Let's also double pick this once we get it down. 98_4.gp5 ( 1.81K ) Number of downloads: 115 This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Feb 25 2012, 10:49 PM |

VIDEO CHAT LESSON 99 - RACER X STYLE PART I
GMC LESSON 99 Direct Link http://bit.ly/gmclesson99 CLICK HERE TO JOIN CHAT ROOM @ 5PM EST 10PM GMT https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/chat Let's warm up and get going! FINGER YOGA! Let’s do our usual Finger Yoga stretches. Here is a link to the video for references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvVMNdc6Tg As a sort of warm up to our LESSON 100 fun, we are going to get our fingers going with some RACER X style chops. These chops are not difficult when broken apart. I previously tossed a very long version of this lick in to a Video Chat Lesson to see if it would work as a single bit but it's a tad long for that. Let's break this down and work up some speed and endurance in the process. Once we build up some speed, LESSON 100 won't seem that hard at all *SECRET SAUCE! SSSSHHH! (This patch uses some tricks with parallel compression to bring out your picking) It's for OVERLOUD TH2. If you don't have this, go grab the demo, so you can import this patch for this lesson. 99OVERLOUD_Th2_SecretSauce4Shred.xml.zip ( 12.27K ) Number of downloads: 136 Here is a Th1 Patch as well. 99TH1Final.xml.zip ( 5.25K ) Number of downloads: 132 Now then, THE WARMUP THAT"S REALLY IT"S OWN ENTIRE LESSON We are going to be using some hopefully familiar shapes. Let's take a basic one and work out hands/stamina a bit. We are going to go full circle here back to the very start of our work together. You should know this pattern by heart. If not, now is a good time to learn. Let's play this on several strings and using doubles, thumbless etc. This one pattern contains everything your fingers need to know to "Shred", this one pattern can take you to the next level in terms of precision/speed. 99_Warmup.gp5 ( 1.61K ) Number of downloads: 130 BIG SCARY CHOPS BREAK DOWN IN TO EASY BITS As you know, the biggest, most hairy licks/chops you can imagine can be broken down in to little bits and learned a chunk at a time. Let's tackle one and work up some speed/endurance on the way. PART A Let's get used to playing this on different strings, using singles and doubles. 99_a.gp5 ( 1.57K ) Number of downloads: 132 PART B Let's get used to playing this as well, on different strings, using singles and doubles. 99_b.gp5 ( 1.57K ) Number of downloads: 138 PART C Let's get used to playing this also, on different strings, using singles and doubles. 99_c.gp5 ( 1.57K ) Number of downloads: 131 PART D Let's get used to playing this as an addition, on different strings, using singles and doubles. 99_d.gp5 ( 1.57K ) Number of downloads: 127 PART E Now that we have some muscle memory with all these. Let's tie them all together in to one lick. This lick can be played slow or fast but sounds best fast 99_E.gp5 ( 2.03K ) Number of downloads: 110 Here is a backing (from our Tripeggio work) that works well with this lick. 99_BackingTrack.mp3 ( 726.45K ) Number of downloads: 121 Here is a video Preview of the lick played at Speed.
