Any news on the pedal? I finally finished the Double Stop Ballad and posted a REC take here. I've been working hard on my Shred Journey and have been progressing pretty comfortably through the early lessons. The alternate picking practice is really helping my playing and especially with my Judas Priest lesson. So... my new plan to work on multiple things is working so far! I feel like I'm making good progress!

Hi mate, how are you?
A friend who uses to buy pedals and other stuff says that we are still on time. It's so weird but well, I hope that he is right. About your update on practice, it's great to know that you notice progress and that you are on track motivated. That's the most important thing. I'll check the REC take in a moment. Congrats on reaching a new level at the Shred Journey! -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate, good post!
This is normal and I think that it has solution. The lessons are really good to let us see which are the techniques that need more work among the ones that we like using. There are few guitarist that master all techniques with perfection, you'll see great guitarists that are better at some techniques than others and focusing on their strong sides is how they build their own style as musicians, their own voice. However, when we are at the student stage (let me say that this can be a never ending stage for a musician because most of us never stop learning new things) we need to practice until we can play our favorite techniques with mastery. This are the steps that I recommend. - Learn a lesson that you like that is in your style and that uses your favorite techniques. - Practice it for some time and record a take. - Isolate the licks that are giving trouble. - Identify the reason why this licks are giving trouble. Is it related to any technique? any expressing element? - Write down the techniques and elements that you need to work. ---------------- OK, all the previous things are done now and the elements that you need to work are listed at the REC comment. Next steps: - Work on complementary exercises that help you to master those elements. - The main goal of everything is not to master the lesson, the main goal is to become the best possible with those elements to be able to play your own stuff with mastery. - Let's say that you need to work on: Bending, vibrato, dynamics, timing. 4 elements that can be divided in four weeks. So you would have: Week #1: Bending Week Week #2: Vibrato Week Week #3: Dynamics Week Week #4: Timing Week Diving your practice time in 3 blocks of the same duration. 2/3 would be dedicated to work on complementary exercises for the technique of the week. 1/3 would be applied to play the lesson from the rec, any other lesson or improvise. What do you think? This post has been edited by Gabriel Leopardi: Jul 15 2016, 03:16 PM -------------------- My lessons

In part 7 of Beginner Bending Workout the first two bends... is the 13b supposed to be a whole or half step bend? I've learned the whole lesson, and the beginning sounds good, but I still need to polish the end. I tried recording it today, but listening back to it, it was clear the end needed more work.
I've also made some progress on my tone. I discovered Cantabile Lite, which is a free VST host. I downloaded NadIR impulse loader from Ignite Amps with different cabinet IRs and just turned the cab sim off in my Pod HD. The IR cabs sound MUCH better than the built in ones on the Pod, and I always play in front of my computer anyways. This post has been edited by yoncopin: Jul 24 2016, 07:25 PM -------------------- |

Hi mate, the bends that you've asked are whole step, you need to reach the pitch of fret 15th.
I'm really curious about the Cantabile software, but I'm not completely sure of what you can do with it. I assume that you can open your amp emulators there and add effect, but what else? -------------------- My lessons

This sounds very interesting! I'm very curious to hear your results. I've experimented with this type of combinations in the pasts and the results were good. Adding some analog stuff into the digital chain can improve tone a lot. Well done.

Hi mate, good job! The lesson is on the right track but it's true that some more days of practice could be a good idea. Most of the bends are reaching the correct pitch but there is more room to adjust the ones that are not perfct and to make everything smoother. This submit would pass the assignment but if you feel that you have motivation to work on this another week, we can go for it.
You tone sounds really good. I only feel that it's lacking some reverb or delay, what do you think? -------------------- My lessons

You won't imagine how tricky are importations here. It seems that I have the first part done that is to declare the shipping. However this will be surelly an issue because they don't contemplate this kind of handmade custom stuff which don't have a selling price. Neither they contemplate that this can be a gift so the declaration is not totally clear and I know that I will have some issues when I have the meeting to get the pedal which will happen this week. Also, it is said that the meeting can take around 5 hours until they they finally give you the product... yes. this is crazy but that's how my country functions...
I don't know how to explain this clearly in English, but to give you an idea, this is a viral video of a girl getting mad because of the custom office bureaucracy and its irrational system. You won't understand a word (luckily) but you'll get the feel: LINK -------------------- My lessons
