Hello!
 So here are the answers to questions Name: Ivan Years playing: 4 How many minor pentatonic positions can you play? This is a tough one I can use effectively only 1 or 2, but in theory I know all of them (but can't apply to my playing - the further I get from the 1st position, the more wrong notes I hit ). Scale knowledge is probably my biggest flaw.Do you use a metronome? Yes, but most of the time I play either unplugged (without metronome) or with a backing track. Can you improvise? A bit, but it is limited because of my fretboard knowledge. If you could improve one thing with this program, what would it be? Despite my poor scale knowledge applied to guitar and improvisation skills, most of all I'd like to improve composition and arranging skills A word about my influences : I'm really into almost every style of music, but my main influences are : Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Andy James, Dream Theater, Blind Guardian, Blackmore's Night and many more (so mostly I play rock - metal ). Also I'd include celtic and video game (especially orchestral) music in general.As for video, it's a little complicated, as I've never recorded my playing, and I'm not sure what to record (I mostly play "meaningless" exercises or parts of songs, but I know very little compositions in their entirety). What should be the approximate length of recording and what would you like to see in it - technique, sound, or something else? I'm a bit sick at the moment, but I'll try to record something on the weekend. Meanwhile, you can check out my performances from collabs I've taken part in (they are just audio though): https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&id=17532 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&id=17387 Thanks for accepting me, I'm really glad that I'm in MTP program with you Looking forward to strating it

Great Ivan!
I think we'll start with a simple arrangement exercise. Assignment 1 - Arranging a simple melody The goal of this first assignment will be for you to find chords that will work over the following theme. There are more than one possible answers here... I recorded a simple theme using the provided scale shapes. You will need to create some chords that fit the recording. The chords you will find need to use the notes of the mentioned scales. Here is the theme you need to find an arrangement for: 
Arrangement_100bpm.mp3 ( 638.68K )
Number of downloads: 208The theme was recorded using this A Ionian (A Major) position:  Here is the same scale, except that I wrote it on the entire fretboard so that you can find or create some chord shapes over it:  Record at least 3 arrangements by playing the chords you found over the melody. You can do video or audio here... Let me know if you have any trouble! I'd love to get something from you within the next week so that we can move forward! Good luck! -------------------- www.youtube.com/Wallimann

As a starting point I've sketched the very basic chord progression in GTP. Please tell me if I've got any mistakes
(I really doubt that Esus2 in "heavy").Going to develop it on the weekend By the way, how should I call the chords in bars 9 and 11 in "light" - Dmaj7 or F#m/D? This post has been edited by Nimrandir: Sep 5 2009, 12:57 AM

Hi David!
I've been busy in the university for the last 3 days, but now I'm pretty much free for the rest of the week I'll try to record something today or tomorrow.

Sorry, havent recorded the collab take yet
 Guess I'll have to miss it.Finally, here are some takes Hope I got the task right. There are some timing mistakes primarily in the places where chords change. If you want, I can upload some more takes tomorrow (today), but now it's 5:30AM here, so I can't record any more I've tried to shuffle all the chords, but the ones that always stay the same are the initial A and "resolution" E in the middle. Also the sound is not so good, but it seems to be almost the same on every preset. If you can't hear clearly what's going on, I can try to remix the takes with different preset, as I've got dry signal saved.
