Hi JaxN4!! Welcome to your personal thread for the Gab's Army!
The principles of our Army are: + Improve your technique + Make music and solos + Have fun + Destroy the enemy (hahaha not realy just kidding... ) I'll post what you wrote in the Army's thread to have it here: "Hey Mate i'd like to be a part of this if there is still room. Ben's Bushido was very good, but i didn't have enough time to smash out the weekly lessons and get them to a respectable level due to time constraints. But things are getting better now.... My Tastes.... Metal and Rock. Lead guitar is my main focus, so my weak point would be Heavy tasty rhythm's and composing an entire song. Also LEGATO is something i want to be good at.... And finding my way around the fretboard... would be my biggest issue. I'd like to be a good improviser one day.... The Artists i am into are: Andy James, Marco Sfogli, Nuno Bettencourt, Andy Timmons, Bullet for my Valentine EVH etc.... I need to focus in 1 direction instead of playing and learning 6 different things at once. In GMC level's i can do lvl4-5 and by the end of the year I would like to be a comfortable level 5 player and move into the lvl 6 world of awesomeness.... Thanks " Could you please post some of your best videos playing? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Jax! I have been listening to your videos and I can say that you have a great timing, nice vibrato and perfect bending. Based on the guitar players that you like I think that some shredding is what it's lacking. It seems that your hands start to feel limited when you increase the speed of the alternate picking licks.
This is what I think that we should start working: LESSON #1 – WARMING UP & ENDURANCE LESSON #4 - RIGHT HAND II / ALTERNATE PICKING & HANDS SYNCHRONIZATION The idea is that you work on this technique exercises at least one hour every day dividing the hour in two halfs. The first half you practice lesson 1 and the second lesson 4. Practice this exercises concentrating on getting a good and clean sound of every note and the faster than you can. Practice this with metronome as a loop until you start to feel that your hand is tired or starts to hurt a bit. I would also like you to choose a collab to join a record something. Let me know which one you choose and please post here your ideas or jams to let me give you some feedback and maybe help you with the solo building. That would be all.. but I have one more question... Is there a lesson that you are practising but that is giving you some trouble? -------------------- My lessons

Ok, just had a look and ALL of the collab's are over the due date..... None of them are active... Perhaps I will download your Led Zep backing and compose a solo over that backing and upload the end result here? Cheers Hi Jaxx! yes, you're right, all the collabs are ending now... let's wait for the new ones. It would be great if you record something over that backing. Check out my "Jimmy Page Style Licks" lesson. HERE -------------------- My lessons

Hi Jax! Thanks for the video and for the update! I hope that your injury heal soon. Be careful. You are playing the licks very good, your motions are perfect. You should continue working on this ones to gain more speed but also you have to develop this ones horizontally using any scale or mode. For the first exercises you just have to play the pattern once in each position, and you'll get that Malmsteen style pattern. The second pattern could be repeated twice in each position. The pattern 3 combines two strings so we won't move it. Pattern 4 can be again played twice in each position. Is it clear?
Let's use this scale and the six strings. Also, I think that it's a good idea to continue working on that Piotr's lesson, please post the video here and then we can go for the REC! One more thing! There are some Collab active now so you could choose one to join now, check this thread: Collabs -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! The legato exercises sound really good! You have to keep practising them to gain more speed and also resistance. You should be playing those exercises as a loop for some minutes.
Here I wrote what you should do with the AP patterns. Jaxn_Ap_Exercises.gp5 ( 3.26K ) Number of downloads: 141 Please develop them in this way in the 6 strings. Is it clear now? I will wait for the lesson's take too. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Gabe, I noticed you referred to John Petrucci's Rock Discipline DVD, well I just got my copy of that DVD, so if there is any exercises from there you want me to do as well let me know. Cheers That's excellent mate!! I want you to learn the whole dvd from beginning to the end! It's one of the most complete clinics that I have ever seen. Is it possible to do it? One section per week and post it here... ? -------------------- My lessons
