Siinthd's Bootcamp, Enter The Dragon!!!!! Options

[Todd Simpson]

Welcome to SHRED BOOTCAMP! I'll be your Drill Instructor! And I do mean DRILL! As in a large power tool used in slasher films and Paul Gilbert concerts. Here is were you EARN THE LIVING DEATH out of your fingers and break through any speed bumps/barriers to become a MASTER CHIEF of Shred!
QUICK TIPS TO PREPARE YOU FOR BATTLE
*Make sure you get both hands in the shot when shooting your video*Make sure you use a metronome for the first several Missions and that the metronome can be heard.*After you complete a mission, shoot me a PM and let me know it's ready and I'll give you a debrief! These are pass / fail, so if you pass you BADGE UP and if not, I'll give you some feedback and you head in to the breach once again.
*The first several missions are VERY simple. They are just to get you used to the bootcamp process.
*Most importantly, there is NEVER a speed requirement in bootcamp. I want you to push yourself to play as brisk as you can, but NEVER at the expense of precision. If you find you are missing a note here and there, slow down a bit. Speed is just a byproduct of precision so my goal is to make you a very precise player. At that point, speed just happens.

MISSON #1

THE MISSION

1.)Your mission is to go all the way back to the very start. The base of the mountain.

LESSON 1. http://bitly.com/gmclesson1

Which you will play SUPER PERFECT!. Speed it up bit by bit until you feel your ready to take it to WAR (Any speed, it's up to you, no points for speed, only points for playing in a precise manner as speed is simply a byproduct of precision) Shoot a video and post it as a reply to this post. Make sure to EMBED the video by clicking on INSERT SPECIAL ITEM above the smiley face and then you'll get a drop down menu. Click on INSERT YOUTUBE VIDEO and follow the instructions in the Pop Up Menu. I'll then offer a constructive and brutally honest critique.

THE AFTERMATH

Upon nailing the crap out of lesson one at a speed you didn't think possible, and playing it a clean as a freshly waxed floor, you will be given your first insignia of Rank in BOOTCAMP! You will then proceed to Lesson #2 and so forth. Here is the link to the entire 400 plus Lesson Library. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...rtal:Techniques

Here is the link to your own PRIVATE HOUSE OF PAIN!...Er I mean.. SHRED!

finally I recorded, I redid it many times, but still decided to leave the option with playing in a minor on top of the backing track. it doesn’t sound as beautiful as the other improvisations that I saw.
I did not practice for some time for some reasons, as a result I got problems with my right hand,so I made a home recording to show my mistakes and problems for further analysis.

Welcome back Soldier!! This is the most ambitious solo for this mission that I have EVER seen. You are doing EVERYTHING and doing some stuff we never really covered like spiff sweep picking. It all works to make a truly impressive solo. I can tell that you are still early in the process and maybe could use a few more repetitions on this. There is a little gap at 30 seconds and a couple of timing issues but nothing too terrible. I would like to be able to hear the backing track a bit more and maybe a bit more gain/distortion on your tone and bit more volume on your tone so that the notes are louder than the pick strikes on the strings themselves. But a cell phohne video is very much ok for this type of thing. Just a bit louder for you and the backing and it would work very well like a live concert vibe. I think you are more ready than anyone I've ever seen take this test. I didn't realize you had progressed this far. It's really great to see! I would say maybe make one more recording, relax just a bit, leave some space in between licks, turn up the volume for backing and for you and enjoy what you are playing. Then you have it sorted and it will be badged up!!!!

Very nice work btw!!
