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.

Hey Vince! Welcome to your very own personal thread
 In here we will discuss various ideas and I will give you tasks so that you can improve on articulation and dynamics, deal? I am glad that out of the whole cornucopia of topics you stated in the first message you chose two exact ones - it is a first step towards defining SMART goals - please read more here  SMART Goals DefinitionNow, to start off, I would like to ask if you have the possibility of recording videos and if you think that you would like to start building on bending and vibrato technique with this lesson right here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/bending-control/ let me know if you feel it is too difficult, k? I would like you to focus on the following ideas: - reach the correct pitch of each note - vibrate equally and wide - always use your wrist Deal? Cosmin |

Sounds like a plan. I started by going through Wallimanns lesson and ended up writing a short articulation "study" which I'm uploading here. It's still the first day of practicing articulation on here so it's not perfect yet.
Thanks a lot Cosmin for your help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlFBiLs91WI This post has been edited by verciazghra: Jul 15 2013, 03:03 AM -------------------- "To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time." -Leonard Bernstein

Gonna practice it tomorrow and maybe record it the day after, here's the guitar pro file of it.  Please record it - you seem to be a very creative person and I like that A LOT

Wallimanns Bending Control : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zFdr_ya_DA . I made some mistakes and my vibrato is still in need of work but I'm working on it daily. Also I have the hardest time feeling these types of licks, they just don't like me/resonate with me and the backing track is also so way off styles I enjoy playing! But here's my attempt!

Hey mate
You still have work to do on the bends - they are always ALMOST reaching the intended pitch and that makes things stay out of shape unfortunately. I wanted to ask something - since this track is not that much to your liking, would you rather work on something involving articulation, but in a style more suitable to your tastes? If so, how about this one - it is more melodic and I daresay you would like it more https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/The-Vo...-Your-Guitar-2/ Although this one is a bit trickier Let me know what your thoughts are, ok?

Hey again! Thought I'd post a video on how my progress is going and also so I can see easily what I need to work on! This is by no means a "final" version I have lots of trouble spots that needs to be isolated, many of the bends are still a little bit flat, the octave vibrato is hazey and all the other vibrato's need work as well. Some of the dynamic articulations feel "sporadic" and uncontrolled still but this is what I have from about 3 hours work on it, my middle finger and ring finger feel like they're dying
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrwFi5Uh0Y0 Edit: I sincerely hope you don't think I'm discrediting your song by playing it so badly!!!

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jul 28 2013, 03:08 PM) Thank you again man! Here we go: Awesome man, that's pretty cool. I made a video response to show what I'm doing for tone at the moment. That magic box of yours does look intriguing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjOKUoMXK_c -------------------- "To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time." -Leonard Bernstein
