Hello and welcome to your personal musical/guitaristical development thread!

First and foremost, I would like to ask if you have any recordings whatsoever, so that I may have a better idea regarding how your playing sounds like

Let's start!

Hehe E bine ce vad acolo din perspectiva ritmica - la tine - dar tipul cu vocea nu prea pare a fi cu tine... E ceva in neregula pe acolo si nu prea va sincronizati voi doi.

Voiam sa te mai intreb, in ceea ce priveste teoria, ce cunostinte exacte ai? Indiferent cat de putin ar fi

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 11 2013, 02:12 PM

Sicer sa fiu nu stiu ce sa iti zic la capitolul asta:))), stiu notele, octava teoretic si practic. sexta si terta le stiu doar practic nici nu stiu cum se formeaza dar stiu pe chitara:)). Sper sa ma intelegi dar nu stiu ce sa iti spun la capitolul asta. Stiu asa cam ce note intra intr-o gama dar trebuie sa stau sa ma gandesc si cand cant nu ma gandesc eu ce note prind:)). Chiar nu stiu ce sa iti spun:)). Sper sa intelegi, imi doresc asta. De exemplu daca ai o melodie in D eu stiu ce trebuie sa iti cant...adica nu ma duc la noroc. am si putina logica:)). Multmumesc ca ai rabdare:))

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 11 2013, 09:39 PM

Andrei, am rabdare, nu e bai Imi place sa ajut oamenii, dar am sa te rog sa vb engleza, pt ca in felul asta, se mai inspira si altii din thread-ul asta

So, we'll continue in English - I will come up with a little introductory video, regarding theory learning Stay tuned tomorrow, ok mate?

Cosmin

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 12 2013, 09:13 AM

Ok Cosmin, I will be there.

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 12 2013, 04:01 PM

Cheers mate - check this out:



and the chart:

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 12 2013, 05:39 PM

Heyyy, thanks for this lesson...It's a great formula..
Now: G: G A B C D E F# G
for D: D E F# G A B C# D
for E: E F# G# A B C# D# E

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 13 2013, 08:14 AM

Hehe, very good!

I was sure you would figure this out! Now, in the next little video, I will tell you about intervals In the mean time - can you tell me how the Eb, Bb and F# major scales look like?

Cosmin

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 13 2013, 10:03 AM

heey:D

Eb: Eb F G Ab Bb C D Eb
Bb: Bb C D Eb F G A Bb
F#: F# Ab Bb B Cd Eb F F#

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 13 2013, 04:59 PM

Correct! Aside from the F# - I will give you a hint You need to have only one note of each - you are not allowed to have any doubles Please try again with F# major, ok?

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 13 2013, 05:28 PM

heeeey:)

I have a question....Why F will E# be in this scale?


F# G# A# B C# D# E# F#

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 15 2013, 12:38 PM

Great observation man It is simply a name given to F so that it may fit the formula - if F would've stayed F, instead of E#, we would've had two F notes (F and F#) and no E note It wouldn't've worked like that and thus the E# appeared.

Stay tuned for a little video on intervals - it will be the next step towards our first important goal - creating chords!

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 15 2013, 01:54 PM

Ohhhhh... Thanks. I understand now. I'm here to waiting next lesson:)

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 15 2013, 07:25 PM

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 16 2013, 02:05 PM

Wow. Very useful this lesson. I have things arranged in head now. We can move forward:)

Hehehe! Great work man!! It was perfect

And that guitar sounds beautiful - what is it? Now, I want you to learn (in the same way) the positions for F major, G major, D minor, E minor, A minor and B diminished. Let me know when you are ready and I will give you some interesting tasks

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 19 2013, 09:47 AM

I don't now what type of guitar is. I bought here in England to practice. It was just 90 pounds:)). Ok.. I will let you know when i finish.

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 19 2013, 02:48 PM

Helllow again. I am studying this chords. I discover it. No we can move forward. I can't wait!!:))

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 20 2013, 07:42 AM

Hey there man

Now that you know these chords, I would like you to go through the following lessons:

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads_in_Major_Scale_Series_Part_1/
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads_in_Major_Scale_Series_Part_2/
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Triads_in_Major_Scale_Series_Part_3/

You will understand why I wanted you to get familiar with all those triad shapes Practice them and please record each one in a video. After this step, we will talk about the Circle of 5ths and tackle trickier chord/ theory tasks!

Deal?

Cosmin

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 20 2013, 10:38 PM

Hey Cosmin. I was studyied the material with triads. I was practiced all day this 3 forms of C major Triads. I will continue tomorrow, but now i have a little video for you.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n14bQXYb7wo

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 21 2013, 08:33 AM

Hey man! Simply beautiful! Great work! I have nothing to add, but to ask you if you have also understood the theoretical aspects behind what you played

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 21 2013, 09:11 AM

Good morning Cosmin! Till now all is ok. I understood everything. I'm so happy because I understood this theoretical elements. I know that's easy for you, but i did not know this basic elements! Now i can say i know:)).

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 22 2013, 07:27 AM

Mate, I am glad to hear this

In easy, small steps, we will discover more and more musical stuff together! Looking forward to see your next vid!

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 22 2013, 12:08 PM

Heeeey.
The first position of triads in C major could not to film because i have an acoustic guitar and i can't touch very well some notes at the end of the neck. I have here the second position 5-1-3.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBTGr2IGcco

sorry not first position- Root position! my fault

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 23 2013, 08:48 PM

Hey mate This is good but it could use a bit more practice - you see, some of the positions sound a bit out of tune - have you checked the guitar before recording?

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 23 2013, 09:13 PM

Hey Cosmin. I can't remember this. I don't no...

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 24 2013, 12:57 PM

Mate, the important thing here is that you check your guitar each time before recording something - it should always be in tune before the recording process So, let's make a deal between ourselves, that you will always check the tuning, ok?

Now, I would also like you to take a look over this lesson: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Inverted-Chords-Progression/ It is a good way to notice chords at work in a more musical context

Lay down a video for this one as well mate and then I will give you your first creative assignment, deal?

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 24 2013, 03:34 PM

Good. I will do. I'll be more careful to tuning my guitar before. I did not realize this then.

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 25 2013, 08:37 AM

It can happen, so that's why I want you to be aware on this - looking forward to the next vid! All cool so far, no questions?

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 25 2013, 09:12 AM

Good morning... Yet i have no questions.I will practice today what you gave me, and if i have questions i will call you:))

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 25 2013, 09:34 AM

Excellent plan mate!

Posted by: Andrei Batinas Jun 26 2013, 09:13 PM

heey. here you have my work.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZADOkUmHEE

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 27 2013, 07:36 AM

Hey man - excellent!!

Great work as usual I must say, I like working with you a lot

So, I would like you to compile a bit of the knowledge you have gathered so far for the following task:

- We will use the I V vi IV progression (in C major that would be C G Am F)
- Please set the metronome at a speed at which you feel comfortable
- Use the finger picking patter you have learned in the previous lesson (your last recording)
- Record the progression using as many positions on the neck as possible for the given chords in the progression - first in a direct state (root note in the bass) then use some voicings of your choice (voicings - forms of a chord that have other notes in the bass rather than the root, i.e. the 5th or the 3rd)

Let me know if everything is ok and then after recording this task, I would like you to tackle this one: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Violins-Hybrid-Picking/

Looking forward to see the vid!
