Mith's Guitar Journey, for Gab's Army |
HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* 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?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Hi Mith! This is our thread for working together on these things:
The main goal is to improve my overall skill level at a basic level and a little later on improve my lead playing. Some Things I want to improve on, in no particular order *Chords - I want to be able to put together songs with chords as easily as I would one with power chords. I want to be able to construct chords on the fly. (I've been slowly working through the chord workshop for this) *Notes - I've been spending a lot of time trying to become fluent with the fretboard note names. I found this really helpful for opening up the neck when playing lead because I can jump between octaves. *Scales - I've gotton quite fluent with the shapes and I have been using the method attached for this and have really liked this concept since its more of assembling the scale around your position instead of remembering shapes. *speed - I really want to speed my playing up a bit and make it cleaner tho I'm not interested in playing solos really fast. I like the idea of Ascending and descending scales fast to move from positions and do more melodic stuff when there. *Solos - Knowing all the shapes is one thing but I feel i'm really lacking on how to apply them in a musical context. I like the idea of using slightly exotic scales and modes to give my lead work more of an identity. I would like to learn some sequences for the fast ascending descending idea but melodic for the other parts (I guess the idea is longer licks and stead of fast repeating licks). Could you please post some videos of you playing? -------------------- My lessons
