Hi mate! Welcome to your thread for Gab's Army!
Your goals: * Getting the "small" things right, like vibrato, bending and overall feel. * Writing more music. Everything doesn`t have to be good, but it is about finishing stuff. * Doing a lot of RECs to practice TIGHT recording guitar and playing with drums/click (going into studio hopefully soon) * IF TIME: Learning more licks/solos, and the guilty pleasure shred now and then. -------------------- My lessons

Thanks man! For now, I`ll try to do 2-3 RECs within the middle of October, with some variation in level, and then we can try to pinpoint a path from there? Excellent!! -------------------- My lessons

Hi Gab! A little check in, as I`m currently working on Guido`s new "power rock ballad lesson". I love this style of playing, as it combines both the feels and the shreds I hope to post a REC within next week at latest.
Also, I`m playing a concert in a few weeks with a cover band, and this is one of the songs: https://open.spotify.com/track/6V2NDWnejBIe...BS0iTHydCA5GbLw I got the bass line down, but I`m struggling a bit to hear exactly what goes on with the guitar. Sounds like some sort of capo, and maybe an alternate tuning from the sound of what I think is open strings. Are you able to help me out with stuff like this? -------------------- Take your music seriously, but not yourself

Hi mate! Thanks for the update!
I'm checking that song and the "guitar" tone is weird. Are you sure that they aren't using other type of guitar or string instrument? -------------------- My lessons

It is a band with a lot of folky vibes, so would not suprise me if there are some mandolins inside the mix, but I thought the intro is mainly guitar. But could be lots of thing as soon as you throw alternative tunings and capo in the mix. Yeah, I think that you can start by playing basic chords since I can hear them in the mix. But the key is to EQ your guitar like that. Is there a live version of this tune? -------------------- My lessons

Phui...I was hoping for another 2-3 REC in the middle of October and now we`re in the middle of November. Time flies
I have been swamped doing other bands the last month: Stepping in as a sub on a weekend tour for some friends as well as arranged a coverband gig at work, so it`s not a lack of playing at least! Still working with this one: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/6-Powe...k-Ballad-Licks/ I have a really hard time with the lick at 0:35/0:36, as it is one million notes per minute for a bar. Well, not exactly, but you see my point Is it any point putting up a REC, if I WRECK (pardon the pun) that one tiny lick? Also, I`m playing Focus - Sylvia with the cover band next week. Thought about putting up a video here, since I`ve been playing it far too long without having feedback. I might be doing something weird here and there. -------------------- Take your music seriously, but not yourself

Hi mate, great to hear from you!
Thanks for the update. You can share a take at REC and clarify that you know that the lick needs work but that you are sharing it to receive feedback based on the other parts of the lesson. That can work, what do you think? -------------------- My lessons

Boom!
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...p=0&#entry0 When I first started filming, this was for once in a lifetime actually the first take (except from the truly first where I forgot to turn of my tuner ) Not perfect, but I`m rather pleased after not practising that much the last two weeks. I do think it sounds a bit off in pitch here and there - Not sure if that is me, or the guitar needing new intonation after the norwegian winter has set in. But I thought at least a couple of the vibratos sounded good. I`ll be awaiting your feedback -------------------- Take your music seriously, but not yourself

As usual, thanks for super detailed feedback! Will take this with me in the attempt at take two! Regarding the lick that were different: That`s the lick I mentioned above here, and asking about how bad it would be to kill one riff. Instead of wrecking it, I changed it a bit, as stated in the REC post Not sure if "allowed", but I am a year of AP practicing away from nailing it as it is now Oh yes!! I forgot it! But don't worry it didn't affect the grading note at all. I'm glad to know that you find it helpful! -------------------- My lessons

I guess that power ballad lick lesson proved me two "major" things: I have still lots of work to do on pitch and dynamic, BUT, my shredding skills are quite decent. At least for now, so I will try to ease down on AP-exercises and actually focus on my weak spots.
I thought I would give this a THIRD attempt: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Dynamics-Control/ I`ll try to keep the most recent feedback in the back of my head while recording By the way: I remember in a previous take of that lesson, that someone (can`t remember who) commented on me playing the notes on different strings than the original, and that I should avoid that. But in the breakdowns, Diego plays it differently himself as well. Does it really matter _where_ I play the note, as long as it sounds the same and have the same vibe? -------------------- Take your music seriously, but not yourself

Hi mate! How are you? That's a great lesson, and a good idea for you since it focuses on expressive techniques.
About your question, no, it doesn't matter if it sounds the same and has the same feel. -------------------- My lessons

Hey Gab! doing fine and dandy! A lot of music in general half year, even though it is mostly band and not so much me practicing at home. How are you? On to something else, here is the take on Dynamic Control: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...p=0&#entry0 It is actually the third year in a row I attempt this I think This time though, I feel I`m getting closer. Obviously it is not perfect, but my free evenings for guitar are so rare now that I`ll try to post as much as possible when I have time. What I think I did good/ok: Vibrato/pitch and at least some dynamics. What I think I really need to improve: Timing and "fluidity". I am very rushed in this one. Probably because I focus on other stuff. -------------------- Take your music seriously, but not yourself
