Hi Mr Muris

So i was thinking, I really love this track as you know. It looks challenging and fun to play!

I was wondering what you might think about the idea of a Mojo Oro lesson? I know its a really long peice of music, but maybe a shortened version with all the techniques?

Keep up the good work!

Matt

Hi Mr. Matt

First of all thanks for your kind words,I'm really glad you like the piece!
Will have that in mind and try to do a lesson is style of Mojo Oro,
with odd grooves and this "exotic" fell,no worries.
Just give me some time,I have about 10 requests to accomplish first.

Posted by: mattacuk Nov 14 2007, 07:37 PM

Haha! Well i know your busy...so no rush of course! More food for thought! It just looks like soooo much fun, and a real meaty challenge!

I wish you could be my live teacher! Still... GMC allows almost as good as!

Yep,this net thing is quite nice,wouldn't you say?

Posted by: mattacuk Nov 15 2007, 05:36 PM

It is no less than incredible. I am only 26 now, but when i was 16 the internet had just taken off. The best you could hope for was to spend an hour downloading a few small bits of information or pictures and that would be it!!

Now with high speed access I have polite and friendly guitar teachers worldwide..... I mean wow.
I think young children today may take the internet for granted as it has always been there for them!

But for those of us who had no internet once, and grew up with it we have had the chance to see it mature - and i feel honoured for that!!

I have a live Teacher, but my teacher is not a technical player (but he is a musical man). I can gain all my technical expertise online...daily... NICE !

Absolutely Matt.

Off topic but related to old times,you remember Commodore 64?

Posted by: mattacuk Nov 15 2007, 11:34 PM

Of course, all my friends had one and i was jealous. Then on my 11th birthday a very kind aunt bought me a Commodor Amiga 500 + and that is where my interest in computers started!

I actually have a real fascination with retro/old computer systems

Posted by: Muris Nov 15 2007, 11:40 PM

Ohh yeah,and good old Amiga.

Posted by: mattacuk Nov 15 2007, 11:45 PM

My favorite game for that was "James Pond" which was about a fish

So in conclusion, Mojo Oro is awsome and Commodore's are cool

Posted by: Muris Nov 15 2007, 11:48 PM

Thanks Matt

Bit more on Commodore,had few games for it,on cassettes of course
and as you go to higher level graphics goes worst and worst,
so on the last level you can't see a thing,can't finish the game.

Posted by: mattacuk Nov 15 2007, 11:53 PM

I remember the Cassettes.... They were so troublesome, i remember sitting there while my friend would rewind the entire tape - and the games took so long to load up!!

we used to play a game called "Dizzy" on that, it was about an egg who could walk around and talk?

Posted by: Muris Nov 15 2007, 11:56 PM

Dizzy Yeah!!

And Rambo!!

Small guy in 2D walks like hell while shooting everything that moves.
And tape around his head!!

Will do Oro type lesson,final confess

Posted by: mattacuk Nov 16 2007, 04:51 AM

Good stuff!

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 12 2008, 02:59 PM

And I have some good news
for my buddy Matt and others who asked for this,
3 parts Mojo Oro lessons should be filmed tomorrow.

Posted by: Kuba Szafran Nov 12 2008, 03:00 PM

YEEEEEEES, Muris you made me really happy ! Thanks bro!

Posted by: berko Nov 12 2008, 03:01 PM

Wooohooo

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 12 2008, 03:06 PM

Cheers guys,I hope you'll like the lessons.

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Nov 12 2008, 03:08 PM

haha. A year has passed since the first post. And I love Commodore 64 also I had one and a BBC Micro

Posted by: fatb0t Nov 12 2008, 03:19 PM

Hm, I'm going to need to hone my harmonic minor (and its modes) skills for this lesson....

Posted by: lcsdds Nov 12 2008, 05:22 PM

Great, more Muris licks to keep me up at night!!

Can't wait!!!

Monte

Posted by: Tolek Nov 12 2008, 07:06 PM

Yuhuu!!!!
I already know the first few notes and I can´t get further. It´s too fast.
I am really looking forward to seeing your Mojo Oro lesson.

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 12 2008, 09:20 PM

Yep,I shared few tones with you in Igalo.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Nov 13 2008, 03:26 AM

Do we have to learn it at "boost" speed ?

Posted by: Tjchep Nov 13 2008, 03:44 AM

Well, this marks the end of my guitar playing career, short lived eh?

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 16 2008, 03:41 PM

Well you can increase speed as much as you want
but lesson is gonna be at original tempo which is 170bpm,
boost version is approx 190-195 bpm.

Posted by: lcsdds Nov 16 2008, 03:54 PM

Are they all 16th notes? I would love to know how many hours you spent developing your alternate picking technique!!

Monte

Posted by: Kuba Szafran Nov 16 2008, 03:59 PM

Man, 195bpm is madness ! Can't wait to see Mojo oro lesson.

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 16 2008, 04:08 PM

16th notes most of the time,yeah.
And I have no idea how many hours,I'm still working.

Posted by: lcsdds Nov 16 2008, 04:38 PM

170bpm is nothing to sneeze at either. But you are right, 190bpm is certifiable!!!

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 16 2008, 04:50 PM

Well let me tell you,
Emir nailed it in like half an hour
and he wasn't completely sober,sort of speak.

Posted by: Déjà vu Nov 23 2008, 09:52 PM

YES! I tried sooo hard over summer break to figure this out! But I did not succeed .

EDIT: I think my problem may have been that I was tabbing out the "boost" video (watching is useful for transcribing).

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 24 2008, 02:53 PM

Now it's up,have fun.

Posted by: Tolek Nov 24 2008, 02:55 PM

Really awesome, Muris! However, I prefer your tone in the boost version, sounds more aggressive. Too bad that my membership expired.

Posted by: Gus Nov 24 2008, 08:14 PM

half an hour?? OMG. That´s not human!

It seems more like work for half an year! Sober!

By the way, thanks for making the lesson

Posted by: chast Nov 24 2008, 08:16 PM

I learned Video 1 today, but only up to 95 bpm ^^
Gonna learn one Video per day

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 24 2008, 08:44 PM

Good idea,let me know how it's going.

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Nov 24 2008, 08:54 PM

Now we just need the Junk Medley lesson!

Posted by: lcsdds Nov 24 2008, 10:20 PM

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 28 2008, 03:17 PM

So,do we have any attempts on Mojo Oro lesson so far?

Posted by: chast Nov 28 2008, 05:24 PM

I'm at Video 6, but I can play it only at abot 95 bpm, I will finish the last videos today

Posted by: Bondy Nov 28 2008, 05:42 PM

I can do Mojo Oro no problems















Apart from the fact i'm doing it at 1 bpm LOL only way is up for me ha ha

Posted by: Tolek Nov 28 2008, 07:35 PM

I´d like to but I have never watched the videos of the lesson because of my account expiration. I can play the few first notes that you showed me at full speed.

Posted by: chast Nov 28 2008, 08:21 PM

It is under my fingers now
Not sure how far I will get with the speed, but it's a good picking exercise, so I will keep practicing

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 29 2008, 01:19 AM

Would love to see/hear it,don't worry about the tempo.

Posted by: chast Nov 29 2008, 01:21 AM

I will try to post a video of it this weekend
Probably tommorow night

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 29 2008, 01:22 AM

Great

Posted by: chast Nov 29 2008, 01:25 AM

I just got a question.
That synth of the backing, is it playing in the same patch as the guitar ? I guess it isn't, but what is it playing ? An octave or a third lower ? Something like that ? ^^

And another question, not refering to the lesson.
Can you upload the mp3 of Junk Medley ?

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 29 2008, 01:29 AM

Well synth is sometimes playing same thing as the guitar,sometimes in octave,
sometimes it's 3rd,varies.

Speaking of Junk Medley,few days ago it has been released
through Lion Music label,Guitar Idol 2008 compilation,
check it out there and give some support for
me and those great players.

Posted by: Siggum Nov 29 2008, 01:32 AM

Yeah, i listened to some of it, The Junk medley versions sounds a bit different, but really cool And offcourse there are some other really nice tracks as well, so yeah go for it

Posted by: Muris Varajic Nov 29 2008, 01:35 AM

Yeah,I recorded guitars again,few of them,couple of sounds
and mixed it properly.
Thanks tho.

Posted by: chast Nov 29 2008, 01:45 AM

I listened to the sample, sounds really cool

Posted by: Tolek Nov 29 2008, 12:52 PM

It sounds really great. Can´t wait for a lesson.

Here´s the link for those who don´t know where to find it or those who are too lazy to look for it. http://www.musicfan.fm/lionmusic/13259
