Hey Simon! What a great introduction! I’m not very involved in politics so maybe you know more than me about Peron. By the way he has been very important for our country and I’m sure that it would be very interesting for both to talk about this! We could do a chat or maybe start another thread to talk about it! You can ask me whatever you want of explain me you thoughts about latin America politics! I could learn. Tat would be my MTP with you as my mentor. Lol
I read your detailed info and then I watched the videos (I think that I graded some of those videos) and I agree with you about vibrato and bending. We will work on it through this MTP. I’ll share my knowledge and also will show you some videos because the only way to improve vibrato is seeing other players. The only way to improve your bending is practicing and hearing the notes tat you are playing. We will cover vibrato and bending and we will also work on building speed and incorporating a “Rocker” style. For this month I prepared an exercise exclusively for bending. This one doesn’t require a lot of hours of practice but a diary playing. The exercise is in A minor. You first play a note and then you bend on another fret trying to get the pitch of the previous note. You should practice this wit all your left and fingers in their corresponding position. You will find very difficult to bend in the 5th fret with finger 1. If you find this impossible try wit finger 2 or 3. After some days you should add some vibrato to the bends.

Hi gab...
Here is my 1st assignement... I just want to precise that I am not 100% satisfied with this take. I don't know why but today is a really bad guitar day (and in general) and I am not as good as yesterday and sunday. I still wanted to post my take because I won't be able to record another take tomorrow. MTP_1.mp3 ( 850.12K ) Number of downloads: 214 If you want me to continue with this exercise I am ready to continue practicing it. I'm waiting for your feedback... Thanks !!! |

You did an excellent job Simon! Well done. Every bend sounds on pitch. You passed the first assignment my friend! I want you to include this exercise in your every day routine for this month. Play this exercise for 5/10 minutes every day and start to add vibrato.
I'll be back tomorrow or maybe on Thursday to give you the second assignment and I'll also give you my suggestions for this week's REC. Do you have any ideas? -------------------- My lessons

That's what I was exactly thinking! We have to work on Vibrato now! And that's a perfect lesson for it.
So your second assignment will be Steve Vai Style Melodies. This lesson is very simple and has long notes so you'll find easy to concentrate on vibrato. This technique is a must if you want to develop your rocker side. So let's see what happens with this. I note that your bending is ok but it should sound more defined and more natural. It must sound as a natural part of your playing and I don't have that sensation in your playing yet. Check these videos to note what I mean: VAI - SRV It would also add in this assignment the first assignment but this time with vibrato in your bends but I'm not sure if you think that this will be possible too. It would be killer if you also add it to this assignment! Ok, that's all! Let me know if you have any question! -------------------- My lessons

Allright, I will work on the Steve Vai Lesson. The only problem is that I am not sure if I will be able to nail the shred lick. It seems pretty fast. I will also work on the last assignement but I can't garantee you that I will be able to do it well on the 5th fret... Some notes are hard to achieve... I will do my best ... uhh! I forgot to add that you have to forget the fast lick for this assignment! Only concentrate on the bends! I will also work on the last assignement but I can't garantee you that I will be able to do it well on the 5th fret... Some notes are hard to achieve... I will do my best ... Keep this as you private practice and don't post any take here. -------------------- My lessons

Allright ... and I wanted to ask you... What about using this lessons with the tricky lick for our end of MTP Rec take?? You can post the take without the lick for this assignment and practice those lick for a few weeks! What do you think? -------------------- My lessons

Ah! Ok, and how it goes the work on Open chords rock rhythm and the Paramore for 2 guitars lessons?
Maybe I could help you with one of those ones as our REC take. What do you think? -------------------- My lessons

Ok .... for the next assignement do you prefer a video or audio ??? It is going to be more complicated for me to do a video but since we are working on vibrato it might be important that you see my hands. yes, a video would be a lot better but if it isn't possible for this week you can record an audio take. -------------------- My lessons
