IS THAT YOUR MAMA?

Nope didn't think so either. We all know parents don't get this.

I can show you how to be the virtuoso your folks could only dream about, but I first need your help:

* Pm me and I will show you where to start. I am online every day and I will help you out directly!

* Join my mentoring program. I will customize your learning experience in a way you haven't experienced before. We will have regular contact so that you can remain inspired every day and eventually reach a new level.

* 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?

* Oh and did you know that to become a killer guitarist you just need to focus on one thing? Everything
else is secondary. Pm me and I will explain.

Wyatt always posts on twitter the new bands he's going to play on that show so I''l be sure to let you know if I hear anything. I think I kinda miss being in a band these days so if I can help you guys get some play on a DAB station I'll consider that a win You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Thank you again and just to let you know, we will be sending the press kit through mail, today How are those videos coming along? excellent! As soon as I hear DOC on the station I'll be on twitter to the DJ requesting they play it again I'll start recording stuff over the next few days. Ive been working really hard on comfortably numb..... probably too much, but it's just so good to play! Ive also slowed down the sabbath solos to try and avoid the 'finger vibrato'. Ive been practising loads and I figure as long as keep putting in the hours the improvements should start Ive also completed a couple of those songs which Ive been working on. I haven't put any lead guitar on them as yet but it would be cool to get your opinion on whether they are worth keeping. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It would be great to let me know if they have received the stuff and if the songs are being played - we've sent press kits to each of the radios you gave me contacts for. It looks like your guitar schedule looks busy, so I'm really looking forward to see a new presentation video from you. Just be patient with yourself and focus on the vibrato and articulation in general, ok? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It really gets fast towards the end, that would be a mega achievement if I managed to get this lesson nailed. I'll get the neoclassical one tidied up as well, might get a wee rec take out of it! not done one in ages. I'll run it by you again when Ive improved on it some more. cheers cosmin, for such good feedback.

Anyway, yes, please prepare a REC take! And start working on Ben's Hand Sync, it's really good stuff.

We have sent presskits in the mail for some time now Cosmin funny you should mention that, because I was trying to find out just recently. I asked the guy from planet rock if he had you guys in the playlist but he didnt get back to me but I have been keeping an eye on his show. I spoke to one of the DJs at team rock but he couldnt say for sure, he said to email [email protected] to find out. The DJ who presents that particular show doesnt seem to be too active on twitter, which is a pity coz its a really easy method of contact. Team Rock just officially launched this week and Im keeping a close eye on it! I'll do my best to find out. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Please let me know if you find something out! Well, the guy from planet rock hasnt been any use so far but I just heard back from sophie K who presents the breaking bands show on team rock, I had asked her if DOC were on the playlist and she said she would look into it, hopefully she'll get you guys on soon. Ive managed to catch most of her shows so far, although I missed last nights but from what Ive heard Team Rock would be the better station to get played on. Hopefully I will be able to find out in advance when you guys are on so we can all bombard their twitter and facebook pages afterwards You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Now I will be a nag and point out two details 0:19 - you bent that with your fingers 0:46 you haven't actually reached the correct pitch These are just details but they are important once you aim for the supreme level of interpretation!
