Farine54's Bootcamp!, Prepare For Glorious Purpose Options

[Todd Simpson]

Welcome to SHRED BOOTCAMP! I'll be your Drill Instructor! And I do mean DRILL! As in a large power tool used in slasher films and Paul Gilbert concerts. Here is were you EARN THE LIVING DEATH out of your fingers and break through any speed bumps/barriers to become a MASTER CHIEF of Shred!
QUICK TIPS TO PREPARE YOU FOR BATTLE
*Make sure you get both hands in the shot when shooting your video*Make sure you use a metronome for the first several Missions and that the metronome can be heard.*After you complete a mission, shoot me a PM and let me know it's ready and I'll give you a debrief! These are pass / fail, so if you pass you BADGE UP and if not, I'll give you some feedback and you head in to the breach once again.
*The first several missions are VERY simple. They are just to get you used to the bootcamp process.
*Most importantly, there is NEVER a speed requirement in bootcamp. I want you to push yourself to play as brisk as you can, but NEVER at the expense of precision. If you find you are missing a note here and there, slow down a bit. Speed is just a byproduct of precision so my goal is to make you a very precise player. At that point, speed just happens.

MISSON #1

THE MISSION

1.)Your mission is to go all the way back to the very start. The base of the mountain.

LESSON 1. http://bitly.com/gmclesson1

Which you will play SUPER PERFECT!. Speed it up bit by bit until you feel your ready to take it to WAR (Any speed, it's up to you, no points for speed, only points for playing in a precise manner as speed is simply a byproduct of precision) Shoot a video and post it as a reply to this post. Make sure to EMBED the video by clicking on INSERT SPECIAL ITEM above the smiley face and then you'll get a drop down menu. Click on INSERT YOUTUBE VIDEO and follow the instructions in the Pop Up Menu. I'll then offer a constructive and brutally honest critique.

THE AFTERMATH

Upon nailing the crap out of lesson one at a speed you didn't think possible, and playing it a clean as a freshly waxed floor, you will be given your first insignia of Rank in BOOTCAMP! You will then proceed to Lesson #2 and so forth. Here is the link to the entire 400 plus Lesson Library. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/inde...rtal:Techniques

Top Notch Work Soldier!!!! You have some very solid technique happening here. I often see folks really struggle with the right hand muting skills that you have adapted to rather quickly and quite well!!! Just that one thing, being able to pick while muted, is a foundational skill that some folks never quite get their heads around and end up requiring fret wraps just to keep string noise at bay. Not so here. Nice!!

Also, your sense of timing is quite good. You don't rush or lag and you stay locked in to the beat. Again, a foundational skill that is a requirement for being able to play actual music and with actual musicians. Score!!

In addition your picking is impressive. Solid, controlled, even, not too much or too little pick pressure. Bam!!

Finally, your making great use of your pinky and not trying to cheat it with just the first three fingers. I place many of these Missions mid neck which forces the hand to adapt and stretch and yours is doing great!!

To wit!!!






Congratulations Soldier!! You just.....


LEVELED UP!!!!!

Onward!!
