HEY MAN, I really need your help...

...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:

* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.

* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!

* 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?

* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

I think it's VERY interesting to watch because until now I've only had my own perspective of learning. It terrified me how he could tell the Locrian Mode right away by just hearing it! He also recognized Harmonic Minor so fast. This scale has distinct tone to it but I would have to break it down and probably play it as a box pattern to identify it.

I think we have plenty to work on for now. I had to take a long break from playing guitar at all, so making up for the lost time could take a while. I was thinking, maybe You could paste all the lessons we started to the first post, so it's easier to keep track of? I know there's a lot of them and I didn't even finish one of them yet. But that's all the more reason to work harder! I think if I was to take on any more lessons, it would be definitely on the same level or below until I get the hang of it. I made a list of all the lessons I'm working on: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...ending-Workout/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Vibrato-Odyssey-5/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/30-Beg...er-Blues-Licks/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/BB-King-Blues/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/The_tasty_etude/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Your-First-Metal-Solo/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bendin...Friedman-Style/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/neocla..._for_beginners/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Him-Style-Love-Metal/ You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I was thinking, maybe we could update my Lessons Log in that post, both completed and in progress, if that's not much of a problem for you. I just wanted to keep you updated about why things progress so slowly on my side: I'm practically done with university now, just minor changes in thesis to make, but I had to re-organize my room and throw away what I no longer need. I want to adapt the room to be a bedroom studio while at it, so it takes a lot of effort. There's a lot to look through. Also, my collab bits should be up soon-ish.

Sep 14 2019, 12:00 AM	Learning Roadie Posts: 1.045 Joined: 13-October 18 From: Poland	I tried it for some time and I know this won't pass REC but probably the only way to pass eventually is to submit fail videos and learn from them. I found some more lessons that are simple enough for me but I'll try at least pushing the ones I'm already on. I'm happy to say I submitted my finished thesis and I'm waiting for the advisor's response, so it's officially OUT OF THE WAY! I can focus on things that actually matter to me now!

You are getting closer. Remember that you need to record yourself over the backing track for REC. It’s important to know that the main purpose of sharing takes at REC is to receive feedback from different instructors, so go for it! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It all really goes much smoother since I got thesis out of my head. I was really impressed by your response video to Onetabmat's take in the Collab. I'm not sure if it's the YJM vibe or something else but I'd really love to get to that point in my own playing. The only way is to work hard learning basics one by one and no shortcuts, isn't it? I tried learning sweep picking without these basics and I only wasted my time, so now I'm taking the long way and hope for the best You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I've been a big fan of Malsmteen when I was starting to play the guitar so my main focus was to learn his licks and techniques. Then, I continued learning and exploring guitar.

But his style is part of mine. Being able to play like YJM, or in this genre in general is my long-term goal. I'm trying to listen to Classical music every day, learning theory bit by bit, I've got quite far in Todd's Bootcamp and I'm practicing the lessons on our thread's front page and this is my practice routine, if that's the appropriate name. I don't have a fixed schedule. If I understood Mr Vai correctly, Learning with guitar is as important as learning without it. His book is a real gem and lately it comes in really handy! Thank you for the response in REC thread. All is clear and I'll move on to practicing it the way you recommended. I will update my progress accordingly.
