Gabriel's Video Chat Lesson Notes, Intensive Technique Course |
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 ;)

FRI AUGUST 30th - VCHAT LESSON NOTES
Hello guys! In this session we will talk about Composition but in a different way compared to traditional books. We will analyze around 3 songs of a band to understand the concepts that they use to create their music and then we will try to create an idea based on this concepts. My idea is to show you how I create my "in the style of..." lessons and how I get influence and inspiration from the bands that I like. The topics that we will have in mind to understand their music are: - Song Structure - Chord Progressions - Scales used for Vocal Melodies - Scales used for solos - Arrangements The first band that we will cover is Foo Fighters. The songs that we will have in mind are "Everlong", "Hero", "Wheels" and "Walk". I won't be teaching how to play the songs, there are lots of tabs out there, I will help you to understand how these ones are composed. -------------------- My lessons
