I really like the lessons here at GMC. I have one humble request for instructors though: when you play the sections of a lesson, please play to a backing track. That helps greatly when trying to learn the exact rhythm of a difficult part (the tablature is often only approximate). See Cosmin's lessons as an example of how to do it. He plays to a backing track when demonstrating a section at full speed and also when demonstrating at slow speed.

A backing track for each of the broken down sections would be helpful, often I am on 3rd section and have to play through the 1st two and might make a mistake and get distracted before I get to the bit I actually wanted to be working on!!!

Thanks, that's very helpful. I think the only instructor who doesn't use backing tracks is Gabriel. IMHO, his great lessons would be even better if he played to a backing track.
Ok. I'll see what I can do while doing the april lesson Sometimes it's a matter of veeeeeery slow secion breakdown and it's like We should do a backing in th1/4 of regular temo wchich is insane -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

I do it this way since the topic was made. Probably last 3 to 4 lessons with the slowest backing track in the slow sections

P.S If You'll be going to a traditional music school You will learn rhythm, notes and different techniques through first few Years. You wouldn't even use tabs for it. You will play very simple stuff from notes only. Teacher wouldn't let You touch any semi-advanced songs before You're nopt done with it. And this profits for all Your future playing. The problem of present days is that some people would like to do some things too fast, to much at the same time...or just play stuff without understandig what is exactly going on there. This creates the problem of learning the same thinbgs with any other lessons instead of have it done first and then do any other stuff much faster. Right you are, Darius! Us Westerners are WAY too obsessed with getting things to happen FAST. If you go to Japan and you will attend a traditional martial arts seminar and you tell the Sensei that you can't do something, he will have one word for you: Keiko - I strongly urge you to read the following article, for a correct understanding of the term: http://www.examiner.com/article/keiko-trai...-correct-spirit This post has been edited by Cosmin Lupu: Aug 4 2013, 04:07 PM |

In one group are the lessons where the instructor demonstrates with backing or a click to show how the notes relate to the beat. Gabe, Darius, Javier, Dallton, Cosmin, etc. do their lessons like this. But Ben and Guido don't use backing or a click when demonstrating the lesson. You two create wonderful lessons, but they would be even better if you could let us listen to the beats so we can hear the feel of it when played slowly. If there is a technical problem that prevents you from doing so, perhaps check with the other instructors to see how they do it? -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:
