QUOTE (ChrisGLP @ Sep 30 2015, 03:18 PM)  Wow Gab.... Super!! Many Thx... Exactly that was my Problem.... Very good Video... These 2 minutes Video are much more helpful than 10 guitar lessons anywhere....  Great to know it Chris!! QUOTE (Daeron @ Sep 30 2015, 03:39 PM) Ok, I understand much more ! Thank you ! So, you advice that we practise with a little distorsion, isn't it ? I can't make the string make a sound with just tapping with my clean sound.  When practicing legato, there are two possibilities with different pros. - Practice without distortion: You have to use enough strength to make the things sound. It is good to get stronger fingers. - Practice with distortion: Easier to make things sound, but difficult to make everything sound clear and clean. This is really good to train your muting skills. -------------------- My lessons

Hi John!
Off course you can join here, and it's up to you if you want to work on the first or second routine of the Guitar Gym during this week. Also, if you'd like to have a full plan for each week, you can join my mentoring thread. Just let me know if you're interested and I'll contact you with details. -------------------- My lessons

I've been away during the weekend because of some gigs with my band, that's why I've been a bit slower. Also check your new thread here: LINK -------------------- My lessons

I don't really take note of my bpm progress but I practise the Gym every day and I feel much more easy with hammer-ons and pull-offs.

QUOTE (slickster @ Oct 12 2015, 06:22 PM) Thx for asking, it's working fine now, thx! :-) 7h 5 7h 5 7h 5 7h 5. How can this tab be correct? Shouldn't it be a P for pull off. I think I got it 5 hammer on to 7... Yes, it's a pull of. Where did you find it? QUOTE (ChrisGLP @ Oct 13 2015, 01:59 AM) Hi Gab, I'm practising now for 3 weeks the guitar gym each day... at the beginning I've had pain in my left arm after practising one hour... but now, all is ok and I feel a real progress. I'm playing "more relaxed" now... (not only the Guitar Gym exercises) At the moment it seems to me I've reached a "speed limit" for most of the exercises. For example Routine 2 Block 2 "Alternate picking". My "bpm-progress" is 80, 95, 105, 120, 125, 130, 132, end... but I hope that this is not really the end... we will see in a few weeks...  Awesome! Feel free to share some recordings to let me check how it sounds. Keep on the hard work!

The same for you, feel free to share your takes here. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Emma! I always recommend to do some stretching and massage before and after the sessions:
About practicing with distortion or not, it's up to you. If you use too much distortion, you can lose dynamics, but you can have more noises issues, so you also train your muting techniques. When practicing clean, you make more strength and can train more your dynamics, but you you have to be sure that the same thing with distortion sounds clean. There are noises that appear only when playing with much distortion. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Daeron! Thanks for sharing this videos. Your playing looks and sounds good on each of the four exercises. I just recommend you to relax more your left hand when playing legato exercises and always focus on doing your finger movements the smaller possible.
One good trick to work on speed would be to divide each exercise in smaller blocks and repeat them as a loop. Playing shorter stuff will help you focus even more on making smaller movements that allows you to play faster. -------------------- My lessons

Ok, thank you, Gab ! I'm able to speed up but I make some mistakes and the notes are sounding sometimes not very good.
Of course, I'll continue with this exercises.
