Hi and welcome to GMC
It sounds like you've got a good approach to practice already so I won't suggest loading your plate up too much at the moment. Like Cosmin said, you're always welcome to pop along to any to our video chats throughout the week and pick up some hints and tips and get involved too. As well as Cosmin & Gabriel's mentoring threads, I've got an ongoing communal weekly challenge called Guitar Bushido.. there's always room for more at The Temple ! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0&start=0 |

Hi man! Welcome to GMC!
You said SLASH! In my last video chat session I shared 10 licks in his style and a backing track in his style. I also started a collaboration using that backing so you are invited to join and record something. Slash Collab Slash Licks Enjoy GMC! -------------------- My lessons

Also, here are a few of my tips to help get yourself on a fun, and efficient practice schedule here at GMC:
-Always "mix it up" just a bit. Be careful not to overload, or spread yourself too thin either! It's important to keep a fresh rotation of challenging and interesting material to work with, or you risk getting "bored", and not progressing. -Always have at least 1 video lesson that you're working towards submitting a "REC" video on. -While working towards submitting a REC, drop videos in the "PRACTICE ROOM" forum to gain helpful feedback and insight on your progress....or, just to keep motivated!! REC vids are more to score and recieve feedback, so you cannot ask questions there. Don't submit 'til your ready! (I did, but the instructors were very nice about my "noob" mistake!) -Share the "love" in the forums!! Ask questions, but also drop in to share your insights, experience and opinions as well! It really helps keep this community thriving, and active! -COLLAB!! Collab vids are super fun, and a bit lower pressure than a REC video since there is no score. Still, rock hard!!! The "Collabs" are always pinned at the top of the Practice Room forum. -Ask Bogdan! Really, if you ever have a problem or technical question about GMC....ask Bogdan. He's awesome. -Look around, and you may find cool vids and lessons you didn't even know you wanted to learn!! -Instructor lesson/video chat series: If you have time, get involved in 1 or more of these!! But make sure you have time to commit, or you may not get the full benefits of the training!! -Other than that, just make sure to warm up before practicing. There are some tips/threads/vids here with helpful warmup routines, and stretches (Todd has a great vid for stretches). Hope that helps!! -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |

Wou! I feel very proud! I don't know your current level now but If you can post a sample I can help you with this one. I have a mentoring project called Gab's Army and the main goal is to help you with anything you need related your playing and composing.

GAB'S ARMY Thanks Gabriel, yes I'd very much be interested in any mentoring time you can spare. Im working on getting some way of recording myself hopefully in a day or two I will be able to do that. To give you an idea of where Im currently at..... with your sabbath lesson I have been practising it with the metronome and if I play the lead parts with hammer ons / pull offs I can play it at around 80 - 85 but when I pick every note ( as you do ) I can only play it at about 65! It still makes me laugh because when I heard it for the first time I thought "yeah, I could totally play that" LOL! progress....or, just to keep motivated!! REC vids are more to score and recieve feedback, so you cannot ask questions there. Don't submit 'til your ready! (I did, but the instructors were very nice about my "noob" mistake!) Thanks for the tips derper, I'll take them all onboard. especially that REC one because I would definitely have made the same noob mistake as you did! -------------------- You say 'minor pentatonic ' like it's a bad thing |

Ivan posted a video about how to record for free! It gives plenty of helpful tips, links to download programs and more. Also, he's always helpful (as well as other instructors/students) to assist when you need it, or run into any problems.
But I DO suggest getting some type of recording interface. I am still new to recording, and just got my interface a few weeks ago (line 6 kb37). If you're not recording a full-band, some of the line 6 stuff is great for guitarists, cheap and easy to use. I think (just found this out) that the basic "guitar pod 2.0" can work as a guitar interface as well. I may pick one up to bring to work (or the basic Ux1/UX2) so I can record through a DAW at work, instead of just live video takes. -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |
