Hi Ulrik! Welcome to your thread for the Gab's Army Mentoring Project!
Please post here your goals and expectations regarding this project as well as some links of you playing solo and rhythm guitar. I have seen and graded your REC takes but It will be easier for me to have some videos here. This project is to help you so I will be giving you assignments and also we will join Collabs. You can use this thread to ask me everything you need and to work on whatever you think I can help you. The principles of our Army are: + Improve your technique + Make music and solos + Have fun + Destroy the enemy (hahaha not realy just kidding... ) Let's start working! -------------------- My lessons

Hi Ulrik! Thanks for all these videos! It's great to find you motivated!
The lesson: It sounds god, I think that it's ok for the REC, and that it will pass. It's a better take compared to your previous one but it still need work on the same things. Timing shoudl be even tighter, and your palm muting sound coulg be improved. It seems that sometimes you should mute the strings a bit more to get that Trash Metal sound. Concentrate on those two things and the take will be even better. Please post it at the REC to receive more feedback about it! The harmonics: I had the some problem when I was beginning with this technique. It's difficult make it sounds everytime that you decide it when you are new on pinch harmonics. You get the correct sound many times so you really understand and know how to get it, now you must practice it at least 10 minutes every day to get used to make it sounds at every time that you decide it. The is something cool about the intervals that you can get. Have you checked this tutorial about it? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Pinch-Harmonics-Workout/ Thirds: I think that you really need to train your rhythm with exercises like this one! There I can note that you clearly need to improve this. In this case you are muting the strings to much and the notes don't sound clear. 9-8-5 This exercises are really difficult. The independence between fingers 3 and 4 is something difficult to get so that's why this exercises are important and very effective. I don't find something to fix on this ones, just continue practising! -------------------- My lessons

The pinch harmonics are getting way better, guess it pays off to practice Sometimes I can play alot, but other times it will only be 2-3 times a week. But now I seem to be in a good routine with my new job, so it should be possible to play almost every day I hope to do some more recordings this weekend and make another Rec program video Hey mate! Thanks for the update! Everything sounds perfect for me. Practice always pays off! Looking forward your videos! -------------------- My lessons

Hi, I got some unfinished work, that I would like to add to the Army Album I got 2 whole songs, and I would like to turn my metal concepts recording to a song. I got EZdrumer now for better drums, but my local shop has been more than 2½ weeks to get me my Metal Machine expansion. Hi mate! I checked the three songs and my favourites are the first and the third one. The first one has a cool riff but need some other sections since it repeats the same idea many time. The third one sound really fresh for me, I would pick that one if you want to explore something original that can take us to unexpected results. What do you think? -------------------- My lessons

Yes, I'm quite happy with that, It's been a long time since I started it, so now I got some more motivation to finish it So, let's start working. What about recording some real guitars to check how it sounds? -------------------- My lessons

I added a little bit of guitar to the intro -------------------- |

Never version Just check out the part until 1:30 What about calling it cirkus metal Hey man! This is turning amazing! I really like that epic introduction and then the guitar riffs with the strings arrangements. I think that you already have two introductions. It's time to create the progression for the verse and chorus. Then we can work a bit more on the arrangements of the sections that you have done. I like the style, it's something fresh for me... cirkus metal?? Sounds great! Let's go for this genre! I did a quick search with the words circus metal and this band appeared... this is so weird... Cool video!! -------------------- My lessons

And again a new version.
I'm not satisfied with the verse guitar, I might try out other effects. -------------------- |

And again a new version. I'm not satisfied with the verse guitar, I might try out other effects. Those drums sound much better now. It seems that the room is a bit loud but don't worry to much about mix, we will concentrate on that as soon as we have the full song. The guitar distortion could be better, maybe it could be safer to always record a clean signal to allow me reamp it if it's necessary. -------------------- My lessons

I'm not sure what you mean "the room is loud" but I think the bass drum sometimes is too dominating. I record with GNX4, and it is supposed to be able to record dry signals, and then I should alter them, but I never found out how. Reaper is now suddenly not making any sound for my drums. Pro Tracks which I have used a really long time now totally chops my recording to bits and plays it back in a quality, that I so horrible, that I can not record anything new. I hate, when programs that normally work just stops working. I hate computers. There I said it! yes! I call it the mystery of computers... Have you tried re-installing Reaper or the Drums Sampler? If you open EZdrummer mixer, you will find a channel called "room" that works as a condenser mic positioned some meters far from the drums. -------------------- My lessons
