GMC Forum _ MTP (Lian) _ Savagejt Mtp Thread

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Jun 3 2010, 10:14 PM

Hi man! this gonna be our mtp thread for June. I've read your introduction.
so, I will be posting your first assignment soon.
thanks for choosing me as your mentor! smile.gif

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Jun 4 2010, 07:59 PM

hey man, thank you for sent me the info by PM. it was very useful.
as you said you are stuck on the pentatonic scale, I thought this first assignment will help you to develop all the fingers needed for 3-notes-per string scales.
also, as it's not that hard, this lesson will let me know about your current level, technique, your hands' position, intonation, etc.
as you can see, below the "Final Take for..." there's no link now. there, after your first assignment, I will select a lesson you will have to work on this weeks in a side of the weekly assignment. so, this final lesson, will be a goal to reach during the month and this take must be upload to the rec program in representation of an ended phase, in this case, June phase.
any questions are welcome, and have fun!

Final Take for REC Program

I can see it but when I click on it it opens a blank page

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Jun 5 2010, 05:18 PM

sorry, I don't know what's going on! LOL... I left the full link. smile.gif

Posted by: savagejt Jun 5 2010, 08:27 PM

That is what I thought you were wanting to put I started working on it last night is there any paticluar speed or do you want it just like your lesson

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Jun 6 2010, 05:44 AM

if you get it at the same speed as the lesson would be great. if you need to play it slower, is also ok, just find a tempo you feel comfortable to play with. goal here is to play it clean and fluent. smile.gif

Posted by: savagejt Jun 7 2010, 01:42 AM

Here it is. It is not perfeect it was one talke but I figured that is what you wanted for me just to play it not to make it perfect

well man, great first take! the first and the second pattern are quite good, and the 3rd one has some problems.
there are some missed notes and timing problems mostly.
anyway, it give me an idea of your level. smile.gif
I was listening to your songs, both you noted to me. let me congratulate you! both are beautiful songs, specially "tribute".

so, this gonna be your next assignment:

Assignment 2
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/how-to-riff-series-part-1/



this lesson has some groovy feelings on it, just like your "hit the highway" so, I think you will get it soon.
also, it has some extra techniques as pinch harmonics, octaves, and some alternate picking interesting passages.

so, have fun practising and if you can upload a vid for this one, will be awesome!

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Jun 15 2010, 09:51 PM

hey man, how is it going? no rush, just I wanted to know smile.gif

Posted by: savagejt Jun 16 2010, 12:40 AM

Posted by: savagejt Jun 16 2010, 02:08 AM

hey man, very cool take smile.gif
I can't hear the bt... is it my problem? or just you didn't find a way to capture it on the video?
anyway, this is not that important.
I could see your hands and they are working great. your right hand looks tight and with good timing, your left is a lil bit behind... we have to pay attention on synchronization in this MTP.

now we're gonna fall into this solo to see how your hands go. I chose this lesson to open a door to new scales, since that was what you already asked for in your presentation.

here we have the lesson and the scale used is D major.
Trond said he's using the D Ionian scale, but in this case, these have the same notes always.

Assignment 3
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/rock_solo_nr3dmajor/

so, the chords used on the bt are

D-A-Bm-G x2
Bm-D-G-G x2
Em-G-D-D x2

hope this will be useful
have fun practising!

I was having issues since it was my first vid. This is a cool solo not that hard do yoiu want it video recorded or do you want it recorded audio in my DAW?

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Jun 18 2010, 03:41 PM

well, if you are having problems on getting a camera, I mean... if you have to borrow one, you can upload only audio for this one and the next one (3rd and 4th assignment) and then, borrow the camera once again for the final take of this phase where we'll need a video without exception.

well man, this take was really good.
it was a long lesson to learn and I can see that there are just tiny problems. specially on bends and on weak vibrato.
however, your tone and dynamics were ok wink.gif

in order to focus on these things I marked, this gonna be your next assignment.
if you got problems on this lesson, you can just submit a take until 00.55. it will let me know how you are working on bends and vibrato.
if you can, go for the whole lesson smile.gif
here you will improve a lot whatever the results be. 'cause these exercises will help you to trying your ears and musical orientation.

Assignment 4

have fun!

Posted by: savagejt Jul 16 2010, 02:43 AM

No problem I will do the whole lesson I will start working on it

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Jul 16 2010, 01:26 PM

cool man, nice to hear that. just ask for whatever you need. wink.gif

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Jul 20 2010, 05:37 PM

how is it going man? no rush, just wanted to know... smile.gif

Posted by: savagejt Jul 20 2010, 06:18 PM

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Jul 22 2010, 02:15 PM

Thanks

hi man, sorry for delay, it was a complicated week over here.
about the two takes...
both are pretty good, last one is a bit better than first one.
one of the things I noticed in your playing since your first video, is the fact that you already know how to play a guitar but you have many weak points and basic stuff like intonation, timing, etc.
so, I mean... your playing is good, you know how to hold a guitar, your fingers are correct, you have a musical sense, and so on.
but, this weak points show how you jumped from beginner stuff to intermediate stuff and even harder stuff without working too much in the bases of your playing.
now, this may sounds bad, but it's not.
you have an great skill here, it's something really good be able to play a lot of stuff.
so, if you pay attention now on every aspect of your playing, you will improve a lot more than playing aleatory.
so, your last takes were good. just some bends out of tune, (I'm sure you already know this) and some tiny timing problems here and there.
I suggest you to keep practicing this lesson from tiome to time to keep the bends fresh in your playing.
very well done man! smile.gif


about the sweeps...
that lesson from Ian is hard.
what kind of help do you need exactly?



Posted by: savagejt Aug 20 2010, 08:02 PM

I just cant play sweeps fast I know my arps and I am not looking to play a lesson like this yet I am looking to maybe get one arpagio like example a full major that covers 5 strigs and play it faster and faster till I can shred it then work towards combining.

I have never had anyone work with m eon this I have tries and people say you just pusjh through it just seems I am not doing something right like my hands and not working well together I thought If you can see my hands it would help.

I will record myselp playing some arps and let you see

On th eothe rlessons I will do what you say I have alreay thought that it shoul dbe part of my weekly routine It is also a hand killer with all the bends

Thanks for all your help and advise I will post a vid in a few hours

Posted by: Lian Gerbino Aug 20 2010, 08:25 PM

ok, I got it! vid is very welcome!

have fun!

Posted by: savagejt Aug 22 2010, 02:06 AM
