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.
. Until I started to rebuild the melody in my head while playing, and bam! Got it right everytime 
- so I use my inner voice if I can't sing it out loud in the future

Hehehe I wish, but thanks
 Well, the explanations are no problem - the problem is improvising (as always) - can't find anything nice to play. That's finally where I want to go though, but it's still very hard, even when it should be more than simple. Maybe for the current conclusion-vid I just play the arpeggios/scales or pattern over the corresponding chords..  And as today is rhythm day.. Here's my progress on the Disturbed-lesson: 
DisturbedProgress.mp3 ( 3.89MB )
Number of downloads: 86Need more endurance for this one.. that verse riff is quite hard to play constantly clean when adding those small octave-vibratos. One or two blurrs, 0:38 timing problem and that vibrato you mentioned still needs to be wider. Did I forget something?

Hey Marc - sometimes, a track doesn't inspire us to build something on it - I know what you mean
 If you are willing to build one - make a short one - max 1 minute  My goal here is to build your coherence over short distances and expand it as you gather experience. There's no point in trying to tell a long story, if you can express yourself with just 3-4 phrases.So, make the conclusion vid as you thought and what if you would use the backing found in this link for the impro? Does it feel more inspiring? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=565889 |

Well, maybe I should start going to the gym again just to do something else in my own spare time - other than guitar
Anyway, here is another recording for the Disturbed lesson.
Take2509.mp3 ( 3.81MB )
Number of downloads: 162Still need to get that octave-riff tight and the vibrato on the 1st fret must be heavier, too.. As this is just rhythm guitar I recorded twice and panned 70% L/R |

Ok, as promised
here's my conclusion video for the theory part..Well, as you can see - that's my first explanation video. So it doesn't look that 'natural'.. the more vids I do the better they get, I hope I think this one should be the next: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=49755 What lesson would you recommend? And thanks for supporting my cover of META was lot's of fun to make it QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Sep 26 2013, 10:06 AM) Never ever say that! My mates were VERY impressed with your take on Meta, as well as the guy working at Universal Records that takes care of our digital distribution. So I think you are on the good path! Oh no - I didn't mean replacing guitar completely , just 'connecting' with something different other than making music (when having a non-guitar-day) - as you say But thanks! Good to know

WOW!
Mate - that was amazing! You are thorough and hard working - I think you have understood VERY important aspects and you have with you a few concepts with which you can build further - now it's all just a matter of exploring Things will come in time! I will come back with a video to talk to you about this a bit, because the next level is the one at which you are stuck - the catchy line building. You already played some cool ideas, but you need to find the courage to express yourself and let the music speak instead of the scales - that only comes with A LOT of experimenting.Regarding the next topic - after you have read the theory, you should take a look over this one - it will give you a grasp on phrasing in the Lydian context https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...asing-beginner/ |
