Mad's Guitar Routines, for Gab's Army |
HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* Join my next video chat! GMC startpage holds a video chat schedule. We always cover a lot of ground and have fun. Remember that you don't need any previous knowledge, and you can be passive in the chat.
* Jam with me - you will find active collabs here.
* Post a topic on this board, guitar related or not - doesn't matter! You will find that chatting with instructors boosts your motivation to practice.
* You haven't missed my latest video lessons, have you?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hi mate! In this thread we will design together weekly routines to improve your guitar playing but also to make you a more complete musician. Please share here all the things that you think can help me to know you more to create your programs.
I hope that you find lots of inspiration in this thread.

Hi mate! You already created the template for your routine!
 However I would like to try something new with you. As you have just one hour per day we will give more attention to one technique per day. So we would have something like this. Always: - Warming up & stretches (10 minutes) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Arpeggios/ MONDAY: - Alternate Picking (30 minutes) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Altern...king-Workout-2/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...picking-thirds/ - Sweep Picking (10 minutes) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...rove-sweep-now/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...picking-lesson/ - Legato (10 minutes) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Land-Of-Legato/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guitar/legato-lesson/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Hammer...Pull-Off-Etude/ - Theory (10 minutes) https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Chord-...jor-7th-Chords/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Chord-...Minor-7-Chords/ Theory Guide TUESDAY: - Alternate Picking (10 minutes) - Sweep Picking (30 minutes) - Legato (10 minutes) - Theory (10 minutes) WEDNESDAY: - Alternate Picking (10 minutes) - Sweep Picking (10 minutes) - Legato (30 minutes) - Theory (10 minutes) THURSDAY: - Alternate Picking (10 minutes) - Sweep Picking (10 minutes) - Legato (10 minutes) - Theory (30 minutes) FRIDAY: - Alternate Picking (15 minutes) - Sweep Picking (15 minutes) - Legato (15 minutes) - Theory (15 minutes) I let you decide what you prefer doing during Sunday and Saturday. What do you think of this kind of routine? This post has been edited by Gabriel Leopardi: Nov 21 2013, 12:44 PM -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Great to see you working! yes, progress can be slow but if you work on this diary, it will be solid and that's what we are looking for. Slow but solid steps.
I notice that you still have problems when you change positions in Ben's lesson, but the main thing to focus on those patterns is timing. You have to get tighter 16th notes in those legatos, put all your effort and mind on that while you play it. The other two lessons are on the right track, just keep on playing them, and use metronome to increase timing between those backings and the next one available (faster). Also, feel free to start learning any of the other lessons suggested. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Mad! This sounds very good! At first I would like to invite you to share these things, just to break the ice.
- Some of your favorites compositions, songs. - Some ideas and/or songs that you composed and you like. - Your thought about what your compositions are lacking, and why you think it's happening. -------------------- My lessons

At first I would like to invite you to share these things, just to break the ice. - Some of your favorites compositions, songs. I'd just like to share some bands/albums I dig constantly the past month/weeks, so you might get the styles I like: - Alter Bridge (Blackbird) - Breach (It's Me God, Kollapse) - The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble - Steven Wilson (The Raven That Refused To Sing) - Mastodon - Down (Over The Under) - Entombed - Foo Fighters - Gojira - Kvelertak - My Sleeping Karma QUOTE - Some ideas and/or songs that you composed and you like. There's not really much to share right now - just the one I 'composed' for your creativity workout: https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/gabscreativityworkout_scene1 Can't find the other (unfinished) I sent you via pm QUOTE - Your thought about what your compositions are lacking, and why you think it's happening. I think what I need is not having a starting idea only, but to know where to go from there.. I hear a lot of music where I can't really say if there's some kind of structure involved - it just sounds good to me and I enjoy listening to it

Hi mate! I get curious about the band "My Sleeping Karma", maybe because of their name. I'm now listening to them at Spotify. Really cool band! I like them.
It's true that there are not very defined structures in their music, it's more like a journey. I can connect it a bit more with a movie. Let's start a project: A 4 songs EP. What style do you imagine your first solo ep could be? Would it be instrumental? -------------------- My lessons
