This is now much better mate! Now it's time to continue evolving these ideas a bit more... try to not be so repetitive with the phrases. Use your voice to think on variations of what you already have... try different rhythms, longer notes, bends...

Hey, I posted my new takes. They are not perfect but I worked really hard on them. I literally played till my fingers hurt. The challenges of this one have really helped me to learn this new tuning and the notes at least as well as standard tuning. Thanks for the help on this one. It has come a long way since the first take I posted, and I think it has helped alot with learning to expand repetitive ideas. Hope you like it. Hi mate! I'm really glad of reading this.... this is the main purpose of this mentoring program and also of the collaborations... having fun and learning during the process. So, what's next? Are you working on the lessons? any new one? This post has been edited by Gabriel Leopardi: Nov 5 2012, 04:40 PM -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! you are doing a very good job with this lessons! The AP ones need some more practice to achieve a more consistent AP playing. Keep on practicing those exercises another week and let's add other technique. Is there any other technique that you would like to master and you think that needs work? tapping? Sweep Picking? String Skipping? any other?

yes! you can learn arpeggios and practice them using sweep picking! This are the 2 first classes for the "Improvisation Course". Learn this 5 chord and arpeggio shapes and then combine them over this progression: Am - Dm - Em - Dm

I like this. I hope I didn't over think this but I figured sweep picking was going to take me a while, so I made myself a backing track but I made a main backing track that I can improve the chord shapes over, and then use that as my backing for the week to practice the arpeggios. Here is the main backing track. http://soundcloud.com/vonhotch/backing-track/s-37XEO And here it is with my first set of chords. http://soundcloud.com/vonhotch/backing-track-1/s-l0qOX While I was doing these I was messing around with putting a compressor on the guitar track and somehow I really like the tone I ended up with. I also have a compressor on the main. Is that too much compression? And also here are my vids. -------------------- |

Hi mate! You did a great job this week!! Those backing tracks sound good and will help you a lot to start working on arpeggios. The compression sounds ok, as well as the EQ, maybe that tone has too much Reverb, but it's a matter of taste.
The lessons sound very good too! the rhythm one is just perfect! the alternate picking ones are getting better and better, you should continue working on these ones... try to get a fuller tone, picking strongly with your pick. I would like to choose some more lessons to work on but first... what bands have you been listening lately? -------------------- My lessons

Ok, let's add this two lessons... these ones are a bit over your level but don't worry, we can use slower backings at first. The idea is to continue training hard your right hand.

I doesn't sound strict but it sounds creative and productive so it's great for me! I think that practicing everything every day is the way to go, at least that's my opinion and what worked for me. Maybe you can focus a bit more on something each day but you should play at least 5 minutes each of the other things that you are working and also some of the old ones... so keep on the good job!!

Awesome. Do you have any tips on learning new pieces. I have tried playing through the whole thing all at once and just focusing on parts. I'm not sure I have noticed which is better. Do you have a preference? At first I learn the whole thing to be able to play it at least slower. Then I isolate the most difficult sections and work on them as exercises over metronome or a drum loop. Sometimes I create variations just for practice of this difficult sections. Finally I work on the conexions of the ideas... -------------------- My lessons
