Hi Neurologi!
I'm glad we're gonna get started with the MTP program, let's make the most out of it, First I want you to check out the basic guidelines of the MTP program in case you haven't: * Weekly assignment: The student has one week to complete the assignment, and must then provide audio or video of how progress is going * Monthly REC take: After one month of mtp, the student must submit a REC take. (This take doesn't necessarily have to pass) * One new thread per month / per student: When the month is finished the instructor closes the mtp thread. The instructors' last post in the thread should be a summary of the student's four assignments and a link to the student's REC submission. If the student has failed to complete an assignment/progress report, or the monthly rec submission - he/she will not be able to continue with mtp (this rule applies for November as well!) First I want to know a little more about your background, knowledge and playing abilities. We'll take it from there. -------------------- Visit my:

I posted my guitar CV at the root of the sub-forum here. Even though we have gotten to know each other a fair bit already over the last month or so, I spent quite a lot of time on it to give you an idea of where I am coming from.
As for my playing abilities, I could post links to some demos of when I last played seriously? Probably not relevant though as this was years ago and not really representative of the present situation. The only recent examples I have are those of your first collaboration which I participated in and a sound-byte I recorded for a thread I started a while ago asking about advice for retubing the Triaxis which was well overdue. I could link to the latter as well or do you have enough material to give you an indication already? I will state it again for I truly mean what I say. It is both an honour and a privilege to have the opportunity to be under your tutelage. Thank you and the powers that be. -------------------- My gear?

Hi Neurologi!
All right! I'd like you to work on several things (from what you showed interest in) simultaneously which are intimately correlated: - Rhythm - Scale patterns - Arpeggios - Theory and also: Sight singing and ear training, First assignment: (due December 10th) Recordings can be posted on MP3 or video. - Rhythm: Perform rhythmic figure attached on guitar pro file. First with claps and secondly with voice. The metronome must be under it. As you can see it has a count-in measure and the figure repeats twice. Record and post MP3 or video. The vocal performance can be done with syllables such as "Pam" "Tam" "Ta" - Scales: Let's start doing something different from Up and Down. Record and post exercise from guitarpro file attached. - Arpeggios: Record and post figure attached on GP file. (Two string beginner arpeggio) - Theory: Recognize what 3 modes are being used on the scales figure. (There are three phrases). Post your written answers in the order they appeared. - Sight singing: I'm gonna start with a very basic exercise just to see at what point you are at. Record and post the singing of this lesson: C major - Ear training: Identify the 4 intervals being played on the MIDI file. (Thirds, seconds, fifths, fourths, etc). Post a written answer of what intervals where on the file in the order they appeared. * That's the first assignment, we'll see how we go from here, let me know of questions and comments. For the REC lesson I think the "Timing exercise" by Muris Varajic will be great, which can be found here. And I think it's correlated with what we are doing on the exercises. Due date for this lesson will be 30th of December. great! I know it's 6 assignments but they are not complicated. Anyway, let me know your thoughts.

I'm glad we are going in the direction you want,
This material will be very helpful for the benefit of ultimately, your playing, If you want to start sending answers before, I can review them, -------------------- Visit my:

all right! great! this course looks fantastic!
Then tell me where are you at and what topics are you practicing and I'll try to help you by evaluating your ear recognition abilities, so if you are looking at 4th 5th and 8vas, you'll be able to write the intervals I put on the file how about the rhythm? -------------------- Visit my:

Counting system seems fine, if you want to record the exercise with numbers, go ahead, but I think that'll make it a little harder,
just try both ways -------------------- Visit my:

Greetings!
Ok. This is Part One of this week's assignment. I will finish the rest tomorrow. Arpeggios1.mp3 ( 338.71K ) Number of downloads: 202 Scales1.mp3 ( 333.2K ) Number of downloads: 202 Bar 2 is B Aeolian Bar 3 is F# Locrian or Phrygian Bars 4-5 are G Ionian I hope it is to the master's satisfaction?

Hi Ken!
Before I comment on your takes, I have to apologize for an error I commited on the theory question, because there are only two phrases on the scales figure not three. The first one is a minor (Aeolian) and the second a major (Ionian). The second was the "tricky" one because the shape suggests a Lydian mode but the ending note stablishes the major mode. So you got it right. I see your knowledge on modes is good. Let's keep on identifying the rest. - Arpeggios: I can hear that you have a good picking. Did you do AP or sweeping? Notes sound clear and even. There's a problem when you start each lick if you notice. The first note happens before the click. Try to be locked as much as possible with the pulse. This is something that has a lot to do with the rhythm exercise. That's something to focus on. Another thing I noticed is that on the second lick the first two notes ring together. Notes on an arpeggio have to sound separately. That interval (minor third) on the guitar is two frets before on the next string. We'll focus on that for the next assigment. - Scales: Good picking. You have solid sync between left and right hand. Now we have to work on the muting of strings. Notice at the end of every phrase, strings ring a little bit. You have to maintain the same technique until the very end of each phrase. You already have it, now you only have to be conscious of it. Let’s work on something more staccato on the next assignment so you can become more aware of this. -------------------- Visit my:

All right! I'm gonna focus on that second lick for the next assingment so you have it taken care of, nothing musical, but a great exercise, I'll post your next assingment soon,
For the rhythm exercise, upload the voice if you feel comfortable only (recommended though). The clappings are a must though. -------------------- Visit my:

I'm glad you enjoyed the chat, I'll try to make it tomorrow and we can discuss this further with some examples
"the pick glides over the string as it passes or it makes more firm contact" I think that's it, it feels a little more loose in the hand, not as hard as when you do AP -------------------- Visit my:
