Hey!
When i started to practice scales and such stuff i was using a Digitech RP100 which had built-in drum beats. And i was practicing to those! In he beginning it all looked pretty much pointless because i was getting progress totally slow. Later - the more i was gaining overall technique - the faster i was improving. Let's put it simple way: it took me almost 5 years to get from 0 to where i am now. Progress comes, than you hit a period when you can't play a thing - than i was making pauses for 3-4 days without guitar, and than back on practicing with progressing again. I guess each player has his own way of dealing with these "empty" periods. -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

heh, I used this exercise to practice hammer-ons and pull-offs, as well as my picking it's very simple, yet effective.

QUOTE (leedbreak @ Aug 21 2007, 12:36 PM)  Hey I have a rp100 Do you feel that if you had the help that is on GMC, back then, that it would have still taken five years? RP100 is very good for home practicing and it also has built-in drum beat with some cool beats for practicing speed. Now, to your question: GMC doesn't make things faster - it makes things more interesting and gives you correct direction on each thing covered in it's lessons. To become fast you still need to spend certain amount of practicing hours - no matter what source of exercises you use. ->>You see you are practicing OUR (instructor's) lessons on speed, sweeping, tapping. All the instructors practiced their own exercises for years - so now it's the same thing brought to you with explanation. We don't give you a sweeping-potion. We give you well prepared lessons and all the rest depends on you. Not your guitar, not your pedals, not the website design or forum order, not your cat or wife....on YOU ONLY! If you ARE practicing lessons to get them 100% - you'll become good. If you don't - well...you'll regret it alter!  <<- Take this paragraph as a friend's advice.I was practicing - i got to where i am. IF you practice these exercises now - you will sure get here also. And yes - it would still take me 5 years of practicing.
