Thanks dude. Agreed. There is a conflict in styles. I love metal. I hate my band's music! Ha! But they are my best mates and I love being in the band. I spend about 50% of my time writing for the band. But the other 50% is spent working on the techniques I'd love to play properly. Ben, if you had to keep one of your lessons on here, which one would it be? I'll spend my time entirely focusing on that... (I bet people like me really annoy you guys ha!) If this makes you feel any better the first band I was in was an indie band as well I didn't last long ! But it's good experience for jamming with others and working on your timing and other things. And if you enjoy it then there's no problems. Hmm, good question. I can't pick only one... so I'd probably choose https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Michael-Schenker-Style/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Marty-Friedman-Rocks/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Jason-Becker-Style/ And of course the 2 30 Shredders big lessons |

Hi mate! I think that Ben has given you really useful ideas to give a direction to you practice. I consider important a diary practice, that's the only way I eel you can see improvements in your playing, and that's why I base my guitar learning and teaching on designing guitar sessions that changes every week. As Ben said, setting weekly goals and designing a program to achieve them is a good way to become a better guitarist and musician. I don't know a book about that, but I think that you have everything here at GMC: Great lessons, theory stuff, collaborations and instructors ready to be you mentors.

If you ask 50 different professional guitarists (musicians) how they do what they do and how they got where they got ... you'll get 50 different stories. All good, all right, all different.

Bingo Ken said it right! I myself have learned from a lot of people over the years and I have always received valuable things. Now, here at GMC you can take advantage of these things from all of us I for one, am running this program which you might find interesting Take a look here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0&start=0 .. and write me if you think you're in Cosmin This post has been edited by Cosmin Lupu: Feb 16 2014, 09:13 AM |

Thanks Dudes!! What a great list of replies. Yes, it's right to say that I get a lot of enjoyment jamming in my band with my mates. I used to be in a metal band. But this band, I'm playing bigger gigs, better venues, to crowds I thought I'd never be playing to. It is right to say I dislike the music, but I love jamming. I love guitar so it's not a chore. Thank you for the responses. Very interesting reading your thoughts. This is not at all an uncommon situation, especially among those making a living at it. It's one of the reasons most pros play in more than one band even if it's only during their 'off' time. It's very rare that you'll find 'the perfect' musical situation that 1) satisfies all your artistic passion, 2) you love all your band mates, 3) the gigs are all good and 4) actually pays you something. Generally, if you've got two of those, then your styling! As well as happy in the situation even when not loving all the music. As you said you love guitar so it's not a chore. Try to never ever lose that attitude. It will serve you well. This post has been edited by klasaine: Feb 18 2014, 01:13 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
