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 doesn't really feel tense though, strangely enough...but I'll see what I can do Had a lot to do at my job and spend a lot of time going out with new friends I found here, so very little guitar time. At the moment, I am browsing through old level 3 and 4 lessons I already mastered, just to get the feeling of playing again. I've also got some new original songs and student instructor lessons in my head, but I'll tackle these one at a time And of course I am messing around with the backing track of your new collab You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Indeed, the hand looks more relaxed I think that you are moving a bit too much though, the wrist motion is correct but you could focus on being more and more economic man tell me are you up for another AP oriented lesson?

I've already learned this one and use it as a warm-up for the left and right hand, some finger position still feel a bit awkward though. I'll post something one friday or saturday!

My first impressions are: - good atmosphere! - I hope it was my Voodoo riff in metal metrics 4 which inspired you if not, I like it anyway and it reminds me of that one - I would add more dynamics starting with the drum groove - some fills, some breakdowns - not lengthy, but enough to let the music breathe. - The voice - I record using the Shure SM7B in the soundboard and into the Samplitude DAW, I add some compressions and that's quite it. This mic is very good! It was used by Incubus, Metallica, Michael Jackson, RHCP and Pearl Jam out of what I know Check out some stuff about it here: http://www.shure.com/americas/products/mic...ocal-microphone ..and let's try to spice up the tune, if you want and also, please tell me what you have in mind for the next period of guitar playing Cosmin You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Jul 23 2012, 02:50 PM	Accomplished Rock Star Posts: 4.059 Joined: 24-June 08 From: Rottweil, Germany	Metal Metrics? Never heard of it Yes, it actually did inspire me About the mic, I got a Shure mic that I used on stage for many years and it's pretty good. I think the problem was that I had to run it through the v-amp 3 to connect it to my PC. I will order a device that let's me connect the mic directly to the PC via USB, Todd recommended it to me. Spicing up the drums sounds cool to me, I will mess around with it a bit. As for the next period of guitar playing: I've been really inspired lately and recorded a few demos. I found out one thing: I love composing punk tunes, so I will discuss these with Gabriel (you might wanna check out our thread, or my soundcloud). Now, the Diablo based tune inspired me to write more modern metal songs that focus on stories of fictional characters (like from PC games). So I wanna write riffs like in your metal metrics series focussing on drop tunings as they just sound great for this stuff. So...how can we go on from here? Should I post some demos and we spice them up? Or focus on ideas how to put a modern metal song together? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Song writing is the best way to improve songwriting so here's what I suggest: - post the demos - we discuss and improve them - you record and tweak till they get as close to perfection as possible Aye?

At the moment, I have only recorded a few riffs that I think sound cool, so no bass, no drums or anything... Should I at least record a drum track as well, or are you happy with riffs for the moment?

No drum tracks or anything. So, hier ah ze trecks: Queen of Blades (any gamer will know what this song will be about), Drop C, I played an octave melody cause I think it sounds cool. This is supposed to be a faster song. http://soundcloud.com/gitarrero/queen-of-blades The Dark Wanderer (Gamers know what's gonna happen), Drop C again, more of a mid tempo song. Not sure if the chorus works so well with the verse and main riff. http://soundcloud.com/gitarrero/the-dark-wanderer What does zi romanian say?
