Great ideas guys!! Please keep this coming.


Farine, I have many musical rhythm lessons in my archive. Most of them are “in the style of” lessons. Have you seen them? Do you refer to other type of lesson?

One thing I struggle wirh is applying the same lucks to different backings.

There are many of Todd's Quick Licks that I think I'll try and use but I can't. If I come up with licks over a certain backing and try to play them over another backing of the same tempo but with a different feel, even two 12 bar backings, I struggle. It's as though the backing track controls my playing uniquely to that track.

Maybe a lesson with a few licks over three different backings, I think this is another one that could be a box set maybe.

It could maybe also cover communing licks so they don't just sound like musical "paint by numbers".

Thanks for asking us all about this Gab, nice one

That's a good idea Phil. Thanks for all this cool suggestions.

However, I think that this is more like a community workout than a GMC lesson. Maybe we can share a lick, with some suggested backings and ask students to adapt the lick to them. Then, the instructor shares his take on it.

That could be good Gab, kind of a gradually progressing workshop over some weeks?

We can try it. I wonder if this is a common issue for GMCers, or if we should just work on this at your personal mentoring program.

I think maybe you should ask everyone via the forum buddy, I am currently swamped with things to practise, bad techniques to correct, things to unlearn and new things to learn I'm already overwhelmed to be honest

Hi, I never look like this (oupsss sorry), Phil's example was a good example

Let me know what you find!

I think a weekly workshop is a great idea. A simple and short task one can practice on freely throughout the week or longer, if needed is nice and because it's short it's easier to focus on execution instead of memorizing the patterns.

What topic? Technique? Licks? Scales?

I can't think of a good answer. I mean I shouldn't bring in my personal flaws because these are different for everyone. But maybe a bit of scales, a bit of technique and some rhythm exercises, kind of like Todd's Quick Licks Workshop has different sections. But maybe others have a better suggestion.

Is good to bring in your personal flaws buddy, that's your experience and you can bet many users who stay in the shadows will have the same issues so, please tell Gab what would be good for you

Cheers

Then I guess the ones I mentioned above. If that helps anyone I'll be more than happy

This really helps Adam, thanks for your suggestion mate!

How about lessons that really concentrate on different note values, like we discussed in my mentoring thread.

what might be needed , is how to morph a similar lick over different feeling backing tracks . I know the guys won't want to hear it , but this is were developing your ear as much as your licks is important

Based on my yesterday's discovery, I probably need a way to unleash my creativity instead of playing in the same patterns for each Collab. It might be much more valuable than any technicality or theoretical knowledge. Is there a way to learn how to use a wider variety of licks randomly in a creative way? Kris often suggested to start playing over backing tracks but that only helps with other things, it doesn't help me use new elements to spice it up in

Hi Adam! Have you explored Kris Jam School series? I think that he covers this aspect of playing using different approaches, techniques and concepts.

It may be just what I'm looking for. Thank you!

How about some Robert Johnson style blues or any of that original blues played on acoustic. It would be great to have the lesson so that the student can use a pick and either an acoustic or clean electric.

Maybe we could have some how Ben did the Def Leppard Phil Collen lesson where he had teh same lesson in three skill levels starting at level 3.
