IS THAT YOUR MAMA?

Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.

I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:

* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!

* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.

* 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?

* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

Well I will continue with your arpeggio learning methode which you described a while ago. When i pratice scales, for example i pick a key, starting from C major, moving up the flats and sharps, then i pratice every major mode within that scale, knowing which modes belong and remembering the notes in the scale. I can work with more methodes I rembered you had some good methodes for praticing scales by singing for example You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I do think I got the software for it tough, ez drummer, drumkit from hell expansion Alright, well, it's not difficult - you will have a grid which can be divided into all the rhythmic subdivisions available - 8th notes, quarter notes, triplets, 16th notes and so on. You will have various time signatures which will divide your grid accordingly into bars 4/4 or 5/8 or whatever time signature you will choose. You can use your mouse (like I do it) or you can have a midi controller and tap away the grooves or you can use your keyboard, if i am not mistaken, there is a whole thread on these devices right here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=47331 If you have questions regarding writing drums I can help you out so just let me know You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
