IS THAT YOUR MAMA?

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.

It's very nice. What do you think about this one? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Avenged-Sevenfold/ I learnt some parts of it, sounds really cool. It becomes very interesting in the 6th video, when I have to mute all strings except 3th and 5th. This chord a bit weird for me. I'm still woking on it. Did you go somewhere to celebrate Halloween? Hey buddy! Those are called octaves - in the 6th video and they are very useful to master as they appear A LOT in every style of music almost, especially in rock and metal I was so tired last evening that after the video chat session, I went straight to bed.. This lesson is nice and you will benefit a lot from working on it, but take care not to stray too much - I think that if you focus on this one and on the interval based one, it's more than enough for next week Try to record them both and we'll see how you fare, deal?

I recognized the octave, I had other problems. I watched again the video few times, after that I recognized I was the stupid again. Somehow I believed he mutes the strings with pinky, and I didn't see he actually pushes the 3th string with that XD It's good to know these octaves are popular, so thanks again Ahh I didn't know you teached in video lesson. I missed that I think we made a deal , I try to record it next friday with a tablet You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Nov 5 2013, 08:55 AM	GMC:er Posts: 42 Joined: 16-July 11 From: Hungary	I found a little interesting thing. I took a break in Sunday, I mean I practiced less than before (just half hour). I didn't practice the lessons, I just do some finger excercises etc. The interesting thing I found myself more focused and balanced yesterday, after I did this break. Maybe I should do this once per week. QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Nov 3 2013, 11:37 PM) Hehe Excellent, mate! Let me know when you need my assistance and I am looking forward to see the recording!

Having breaks is always welcome and it's actually that time when the brain works on putting things together on its own Try it once a week and you'll see that it is actually a part of the practice routine.

I made no video about the lesson because my progress didn't satisfied me. Actually I still have problem with memorising the etude and I miss many notes. I think I can correct these mistakes until weekend. Anyway it's fun to learn this lesson A few days ago I listened your band and I was surprised you are the singer instead of guitar player When did you start singing?

Now with the new album, it's probably going to be the same - split guitarwork in 3 guys and vocals by me and Cezar. Fun times QUOTE (Argennau @ Nov 13 2013, 08:25 AM) Hy Cosmin!

I can hold barre chords easly, but it seems to me I have to build muscle for my fingers. So I expanded my finger workout with this practice.
