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.

Haha I was actually named after him, so I love it! I'm ready to go. Just so you know what I am going for, my favorite lead guitarists when it comes to composing overall are Dimebag, Marty Friedman, Slash and actually Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold. He has a very interesting approach and his solos are definetly memorable. Bat Country, for instance, is memorable. Just like Dimebag has Cemetery Gates, Floods and Walk. Marty Friedman for me has Tornado of Souls, Hangar 18 and The Killing Road (the arpeggios in there are awesome!) So where should I start? Hey there immortal I think you may be in for a REAL treat check this out: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/sl...mplete%20style/ We can dissect Slash's style together and after finishing this series we can jump on another theme. Anyway, you will have everything included here: rhythm, lead, phrasing, articulation, all the goodies you need to grow as a guitarist what do you think? Cosmin |

Hey Cosmin,
Love Slash so this will be a good practice for me to start with! I do have a question though. A lot of these videos, for example, will say that a song is in the key of A. Then I listen and there is a section in A and a section in C. Look at Gab's Slash Thread. When a rythm switches tonalities, that is when I switch to the other scale right?

Cosmin, I will take a video ASAP. I am waiting for my laptop to be fixed. When it is, I can even send you my recordings of some of my rythms, songs and leads. It only took me a few hours to do the Slash lessons because the first album I ever got for rock and roll was Appetite For Destruction. Remember how I said my solos get old? Yeah, it's all them pentatonic licks lol Whatever you would like me to learn while waiting on my laptop, I can't wait for the next lesson! Connor Connor, my friend let's switch a bit and until your PC arrives, why won't you give a neoclassical oriented lesson a go? Such as this one: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...evels-beginner/ I chose this one because I needed some input from you if it's too difficult or too easy Let me know man Cosmin |

Cosmin,
Love how fast you respond! It's like a lesson a day This type of lesson is slightly below my capabilities. Let me give you some solos I can do note for note so you know my level of speed/skill. 1-Cowboys From Hell (Note for note) 2-Sweet Child O'Mine (Other than the run right before the wah pedal kicks in I have it down) 3-Symphony of Destruction (about 90% seeing how I never got a good tab and I guess when it comes to the ending arpeggios) 4-Cemetary Gates (Not note for note, but the speed in the end I can hit) 5-ANYTHING by early Kirk Hammett. Pentatonic licks at that speed are no problem. I can do Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, One, etc. I would rather learn pentatonics at the sonic speed of Zakk Wylde! lol Does that help? I'm still going to learn this lesson though! Always liked Marcus' Neo-classical lessons! Cheers!

Hi Cosmin!
So sorry for the delay, been very busy with my band and work. I tried to create a video of me playing but it's not letting me send it to you. So I will give you the next best thing. I have my band's songs on Reverbnation. I wrote them by myself and these tracks were done in 1 take. Solos, rythms, everything. http://www.reverbnation.com/#!/megidothrash The solos in Inner Chaos and Sides of Me are not written, just improvised around the basic pentatonic scale. I was trying to mix Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman lead styles together XD March The Sands has "Trade-off" solos. But seeing as it's only me, I tried to do different styles of leads each time I switched. Give me your feedback! Connor |
