Hi Dieterle I am glad you have decided to join my mentoring program!
I have a few questions before we will start!
-What are your goals?
-What is your weakness?
-What is your strongest point?
-Your favorite guitar players?
I really appreciate you joining and I am looking forward to work with you!

Posted by: Dieterle Apr 3 2012, 10:12 AM

Hi Alex , great that you try to help me .

Ok now the answers to your questions ,

goal - to get more into feel my guitars and finally play what is inside me .

weakness - many rhythm - mixing chords with melody , theory, playing with baking tracks or people (didn't do that before)

strongest point - i am serious to go my way - just playing around and experimenting with some pentatonic- enough time between my duty`s.

favorite guitar players - Hendrix Carlos Santana Malmwsteen David Gilmoure Mike Oldfield

there is a lot more of guitars i like ...

Ok
Dieter

Hi! We like same guitar players!!!
So I have created a few licks for you in style of Carlos Santana some are simple and some are a little complicated!
When you are practicing make sure you do it at a slow tempo and using a metronome!!!

Hi Alex ,
i have real fun with your exercise licks for me and i am getting into it - right now working with speed 80 - next view will be 100 a bit later the 120

at this time , i still sometimes , have to think in between, what gets me out of rhythm

actually i like to play them all together - lots of fun and a good feeling to me .

Have a good day !

Hi Alex ,
here a first try from the first lick speed 80

its my first garageband and i movie clip - i just got to know how it works together - to cut clips and things like that i will try out one day. every thing is new to me - my zoom g3 using garageband - i movie and all that


Important is to me that i can show you my lesson stand and i wanna play guitar


i exercise with guitar pro each lick separate - to let it run non stop .

Ok Good Time i wish ya.

Lick 2 Santana lesson

Posted by: Alex Feather Apr 7 2012, 05:31 PM

You did a very good job with videos! Looks good and you got it to work!
About licks: You did good learning them but I would suggest to spend more time practicing at a slow tempo even slower than 80 BPM
I want you to take control over your hands and slower you practicing better results you will get!

Posted by: Dieterle Apr 7 2012, 05:44 PM

Hi Alex !

Yes i will slow down !

No that i know how it works with recording i can bring myself back to guitar studies


by the way you are a good psychologist too !

Hi Alex ,

here all the licks together - i tried to play them in 80 i posted that you can see all of them together.

I still exercise each of them in slower speed to recognize whats inside and i know it takes time.....


Anyway - have a nice day and greetings to your dog from mine

Posted by: Alex Feather Apr 9 2012, 04:42 PM

Hi! Nice take! I can see the big difference between licks you were practicing and licks you started learning not so long ago!

Licks 2,5,6 still need work! Try to practice them more and maybe break them on to short phrases?
The rest was much better and I can see your progress in only a couple of days! Very nice!

Posted by: Dieterle Apr 11 2012, 03:48 PM

High Alex !

Could you do me a favor
and give me 2 or 3 chords to play with my licks !?
I still keep exercising them slow and fast but in between i like to play around and would be interesting with the right chords too.

Something Santana like i can built on that

Sounds very good! Getting better and better every day!
I wanted to give you another exercise that will help you develop picking and timing at the same time!
You have to practice it at a very slow tempo! Slower is better ALWAYS USE METRONOME!

Posted by: Dieterle Apr 19 2012, 09:33 AM

Hi Alex , nice to heare from you.

You are right - like always !

Thats what i am doing everyday now - the timing lesson (rhythm) is a real good exercise for me and i use it for warming up already .
After i exercise with Santana licks slow and after playing around for fun with it .
A good exercise too is your Blues lesson . Here i mean i get easier into feeling of this timing and rhythm and i somehow just like it .
By the end i play around for fun and concentrating to get more feeling into my fingers - what means playing with less finger pressure ( i hope its the right word) - its a new experience for me .


Thank you for your help and keep on going !

Hello Alex,

its time for a nother question from my side .

I am keep on practicing hand workout for warming up and the same with santana licks - first slowly and then faster and a bit for fun .

Your blues lesson is great too for get into feeling the patterns and rhythm

Van Halen lesson by now i like most because its sounds a bit heavy and i like that .

its the first one i try with backing track what is a bit strange right now but i am getting closer to it

and i think it will be my first official record in the forum - but not yet .


Ok now my main answer i am not at all into theory and i really like to get into it .

What i know is some pentatonic minor and major nothing about chords and how to get them together

Sure into your lessons already are signs of that -- i just don't know how and where to start and then go step by step.

Everything is in english and no problem but it takes bit time to understand the new words and descriptions.


Anyway i would like to make some own songs with rhythm and soloing changes there are some old melodies i like and just couldn't get yet into some rhythm chords and baselines..


Ok now , i wrote a lot but i think you know what i mean


By the way i have got enough time and there is no hurry just question now and information !


I am glad to know you and thank you !

Have GOOD VIBRATIONS around you !

Hello i hope you could sleep and relax a while - great to be first time into your chat lesson.

Van Halen lesson i do exercise of course more and into parts a good way with guitar pro this wasn't my last record

i had to try it and the last days and weeks i got to get into all this software stuff - its ok now not good hehe.

I use Garageband with zoom g3 or garagebandamps or guitar rig 5 the free version .

Yesterday i find out how to make them run as standalone monitoring


My mistake before zoomg3 amps over garageband and one amp from garageband whats to much noisy .

Anyway will get into it.


Theory a nother universe


from your chat lesson is one thing i recognized took a while i am really without knowledge

first you write a chord then the notes what are inside that chord and then the pentatonic lines scales for using as melodies and what ever !?


This i might seeing with Am7 example



Ok have a great tour and Greetings to Slowenia

Ok I got it! You have a lack in circle of fifths and numbers! Let's fix it

Here is the circle of fifths!


This is how you will add sharps and flats to your scales! It call circle of fifths because it goes up in fifths!
We are adding sharps (#) C - G - D - A - E - B - F#
Going down forth adding flats:F - Bb - Eb - Ab - Db - Gb
Here are all the sharps:
F# - C# - G# - D# -A#

Here are all the flats:
Bb - Eb - Ab - Db - Gb - Cb

So if for example we have a D major scale we will have 2 sharps F# and C# Every time a new scale comes up we will be adding one sharp or flat!

Now let me explain the numbers! It's very simple

Each note of the scale will have a number it will make it easier to memorize all the scales/chords and will be able to transpose it to any key!
As an example I will use C major scale

C - I
D - II
E - III
F - IV
G - V
A - VI
B - VII


Let me know if you need any help!

Posted by: Dieterle May 4 2012, 03:14 PM

High Alex ,

wow is that a MANDALA haha ?


Circle of fifth i can imagine.

C major scale and numbers ok .

Example G major scale

G-1 A-2 B-3 C-4 D-5 E-6 F-7


Thank you Alex !

Hello Alex,

i am be thinking a bit about theory stuff and recognized that i am knowing here and there some parts but nothing in the Line.

I decide by my self it is really the time to get completely in to theory -- from point 0 !

I know i could start with theory stuff by my self in german language - what is a bit easier ,

BUT !!! i wanna proceed with my english TOO !

GMC site is in english and i will stay here for the rest of this life ....

PLEASE help me to get into it from the totally beginning !


I am not in a hurry and i know you have a lot other stuff to do .

So let's take it slow!
For now I want you to build four scales:
F major, G major and D major and Bb major
Please write the notes using method I told you!
Let me know if you have any questions!

Posted by: Dieterle May 8 2012, 08:27 AM

Hello Alex ,

ok i give another try - first

F major : F G A Bb C D E


G major : G A B C D E F# ( must have a # thats why not F)



D major : D E F# G A B C# ( next # C before new scale
starts )

Bb major : Bb C D Eb F G A

I think i found some logic for myself - using the circle of fifth in german Quintenzirkel and Quantenzirkel
but got to work on it .

It's a G major scale but it is played in a really weird way!

Hello Alex ,

yes i wanna get this van halen style lesson perfect !!!!!!

and i keep on going exercising it - its kind of morning prayer


If you can introduce me more into this parts it would be just great to me

1. legato

2. chicken picking

3.natural harmonic

4. timing ... something with my ears maybe i exercise

i am the kind of person who needs from time to time a kick in the ass ( i am a lion ) - but then it works .

Just kick !

My main Strength is that i never get bored and i really wanna play good guitar !

Good Wishes !

Dieter

Hello Alex ,

G major scale lesson is in ionian mode thats what i right now see kind of standard mode.
I like the melody and its my warmup now .


It is a good exercise for my left hand and i try to push the strings more with feeling and fewer power .

My fingers and hand hurting a bit - but its because i exercise a lot and in between i do some finger stretching exercise or just go for van halen it is not that hart for my fingers.

Is there any active relaxing or stretching exercise tip for my left hand !?

The legato exercise i like a lot too ! Needs more exercise because some tone are to weak - must find the balanced pushing with my fingers.

(Sorry my english - but i think in german and the direct translation word by word is not always the right words in english)


Ok, thank you a lot for your HELP and Energy !

Have a good DAY !

Dieter

Hello Alex ,

i am thinking about studying your Sweep Picking lesson when you agree with that . It is real difficult
to me but i like that feeling of music. I know too that this lesson will take more time even than the van halen one.


Van Halen is still my actually main lesson until i MADE it but beside that i would like to start with a new one too !

Back to Sweep Picking,

could we try to make a study out of that too - theory understanding how it is build ?

Theory is a bit hard but i should do it -

and by the way for learning playing guitar and have fun with it and make a bit noise for my neighbors i think about starting the

Rock and Roll Riffs lesson from Steffan - the chords i know and its a good rhythm lesson too , what do you think ?

Though one hard lesson for study and one easier for fun and maybe faster success and kind of Success experience.

Lots of GOOD ENERGY to you and the Once around you !

You are doing good! The chords should be more staccato and you are rushing a little bit!
Do you remember the exercise I gave you a while ago? It's on the first page of your thread
Did you practice it? Cause it will do miracles for you! Let me know how it goes and I will give you a new rhythm workout in a few days!

Posted by: Dieterle Jun 11 2012, 06:22 PM

Hello Alex,

yes i remember this lesson and do it very slow - i start to get more into feel the rhythm changes -


it helps me with van halen lesson too,i am getting more into it and the rhythm is closer now ,

finally i found the key to natural harmonics on VII and V frets , but will exercise this lesson more now before a record
i feel still a bit uncomfortable when i record .

Ok , hope you are well !

Hello Alex,

here my morning exercise in 60 Bpm and 80 Bpm .

60 Bpm i fell more uncomfortable than 80 and of course the part with 12 beats - 4 times 3- i need my head and then i loose the beat
but i recognize that i have to find the rhythm inside myself without thinking about it and this exercise is a key - thank you !
Dieter

Posted by: Alex Feather Jun 12 2012, 05:58 PM

Good take! A few things that you need to work on!
60BPM
1) part 2 should be triplets you are playing them straight instead? Try to play along with the Guitar Pro file!
2) ever time triplets are happening you are off for some reason!
3) your are rushing a little bit through the whole take!

80BPM
Was much much better! I liked it a lot!
1) part 3 you are rushing but than got back into the groove!
So my suggestion would be to play it at 80 BPM and get very comfortable with this exercises! You are almost there and it will sound great very soon!
After you master it at 80 BPM you can lower the tempo!
The tricky thing about this exercise is slower you do it harder it is to keep up!
Let me know if you have any questions or need help!

I would like you to play only first part along with the track I have created!
We will start with the first riff I have it at 80 BPM and it's a loop, I would like you to start practicing along with me so you will get the timing and the feel right!

0:43 there is a timing issue there on every part try to work on it a little bit more

Hey Alex ,

i did it here :

You did a very good job! Please check out the picking pattern sometimes you are playing it wrong you are almost there but I would suggest practicing it at a slower tempo for a couple of more days and you will be ready to post on REC!

Hello Alex i need your help , please !

Here i recorded an idea from what i feel and actually want to let out .
Right now its only a part of it - i played some background and than recorded some melody into it .

I would like to get in with more chording - i only played some standart chords but i would like to switch more up and down on fretboard - then i could talk more with my melody and getting here and there some harder parts

there is more to say just can't speak the language yet ..

i hope its not to much wanted from you !?

Dieter

You did a great job! I love it! Sounded so cool and creative!
What chords you have played?

HAHAHAHA Alex ,

thats a good question !

I just been playing a bit around started with some backing rhythm and than i played to it how it comes out .

Before i have been walking a bit in the nature with my dog .

I think the chords from your chord picking etude and bit more what ever it was . I been exercising your lesson and than just wanted to play around.

the melody is closed and around Am Pentatonic thats what i am used without thinking .

Hahaha! Well how about we will start with you transcribing the chords and the melody! So we both will know what it is!

It is also will be a good exercise!

Hello Alex !

I started now to transcribe what i been playing - it is real difficult

First i go on with the melody could be a bit easyer than the chords to hear out !? will see .

After i try the chords in a secound line // i use GP 6 , it is a bit strange because i never used it for writing - only for listening others work

the notes should be ok only to make it sound more like the original rec is difficult - have to find out how to use GP 6 for timing rhythm slights and all that - must test all the GP symbols and notes how they work.

OK , i soon will let you know my first little part of the whole thing ..

Thank you for your energy and inspiration !

Dieter

Sounds good! I am looking forward to see the chords you used!
You did a very good job combining them together so I am very curious!!!!
Let me know if you need help with anything!

Hi Alex i am still on transcriping !! in a few days i show you the first parts -

i recognized it is a bit easier in pieces and a real experience to hear it out and try playing it again

here is a nother record i did a few hours later with basicly the same feeling and chords and note lines.

http://soundcloud.com/dieterleguitar/rising-of-the-root

Very nice! It sounds very pretty! Good job!
I like it as well! Maybe try to combine both together?

Hello Alex ,

i am still on earth and every thing is OK !

Right now we have holiday time and soon we are going to france for a few weeks .

I am not every day on internet and i spend not so much time with learning guitar playing.

I will try to put a first transcription part in my thread here before i leave to france ,

it is a bit difficult because i recorded both guitars together without keeping the single records


but i did learn something about it

Dieter

Awesome! Have fun in France! I will take a look at your transcription and will correct it if necessary!
Let me know when you will come back!
Enjoy your vacation!

Hey Alex,

just been playing around a bit with my guitar and so far so good my guitar works

i myself am just not sure where to go right now

Your new happy song is a great feeling - very interesting technic`s especially tabbing i am not into that.

Too i like parts of metal guitar - thats why i try to exercise helloween lesson too.

I think my way is in between strong warm universal and open feeling compared with powerful elements .

What do you think about using the new lesson from you for getting back into study`s !?

Playing the song right and understanding the theory behind it ?


Dieter

I am glad to have you back!!!
Glad you like my happy song!
I think it is a very good idea to get back into routine! Start by learning the first verse! It is very simple and fun to play!
And I will help you out!

Hello Alex !

Sorry that it took so much time until i write now !

I have been very busy the last weeks and felt sometimes just tired .

One mistake i did for sure here in GMC that i started with more then one Rec Lesson at a time .

From now on i do only one by one and the real first one before i subscribed at GMC was Helloween and this is the one i try to master at next.

Be part on collabs here and there is fun and experience too playing around for fun of course although .

Theory very important even when it is sometimes difficult for me and in german we say dry .

Do you remember my own little records genetic root and the rising of the root

here the playlist

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL59A930936F8A0675&feature=plcp

i would like to get more into that theory , as you know i been just playing around in a mood and recordet this without knowing what notes chords or what ever

I wanna in the future make more records belonging to the two ones i already have done,

should be one day a memory for my family .


Have a GOOD TIME !

Dieter

Hey! I is nice to have you back! I am glad you are doing fine! Very excited to continue working with you!
So what are you working on now? I can help you with that and also will continue the theory mentoring
What are you interested in theory part?

I am looking for a new backing track made by myself but right now just kind of empty space .

I am thinking about 4 minutes backing with one guitar and using the bass line`s.

Kind of coming out of the dark ( not in a evil way ) and in one timing through the whole time. -main atmosphere -

Second guitar should talk - melody all over the fret board -

It should sound not real european style more the eastern style .

Wich pentatonic - could you imagine for this kind of feeling i am looking for.

What chords maybe in between ?

I got some new pics i made and while looking at them and playing around with my Guitar i will find a way to my 3. part of record.

Hopefully

Have a Good Weekend !

Dieter

Hi Let's start by creating the track we will start with a form first
What you want it to be?
And also how fast you want the song to be?
Let me know!

By the form I meant verse chorus etc.
Just create a melody frist and we can take it from there!
Make sure you are using a metronome to make it easier to work with!

Hello Alex i hope you are fine !

Sorry that i didn`t answer faster.

I had to take a lot of time for my job and some private stuff but it looks like i can get some more silence again.

I did try to find some new melody for a noter go on my own little project but i am still coming back to the old scale i once started

A Am closed to blues pentatonic but this is not the right tune to say something anymore .

I need more dramatic background with light moments

Hope i get it today on your video chat lesson , will see.

Dieter

Man too bad you couldn't make it to the video chat!!!
Just do the first part and I will help you to add dramatic effects!!!
Looking forward to hear what you will come up with!

Hello Alex here a first idea of what i try to make ,

its a bit of melody and some rhythm idea in between

the real record start i will record melody and rhythm separate .

So the main problem is for me to get some chording background first in this mute i try you to show

the melody i will go for after that , i find it easier when there is a backing with the atmosphere i like , the rest comes from alone .

I have no idea with chords and no real experience with that .

Thank you Alex !


Dieter

Give me a few hours and I will help you with the first chords so you can continue from there!
Very pretty melody!

Hello Alex!

Today i have been a bit in our new chat and Slavenko got me a nice impulse - Black Sabbath .

Of course I can Black Sabbath is one of my favorite band of all times!!!!
What would you like to know about the style?
Also are you interested in rhythm or solos?
Let me know!

Posted by: Dieterle Nov 25 2012, 12:56 PM

Hey Alex , GREAT !

The first step i would like to get into Rhythm because thats what i think is my greatest problem.

From that point on i could manage a main background feeling and then get more into soloing ,


so rhythm - atmosphere and solo - talking about a theme .


What i mean get inspired from the mystical atmosphere Black Sabbath and there feeling to create and get more into my own stuff.

Hello Alex !

Today i look that i get to your warm up v chat lesson thats a cool idea !

I am working on my Black Sabbath lesson and right now i got it in mind without looking at the tabs

The next days i go into a slower rhythm and will make a record from the whole thing and we will see

OK Alex i have got a noter questions !

I am using iMac and MacOsX guitarinput through my Zoom G3 (and only that simulations inside ZoomG3 ) over Garageband

without any simulations from Garageband .


It works got for me and on Vchat no problems with video session.

What i want to buy next is a micro and a headphone

Micro over Zoom G3 that i can talk on Vchat when there is a need (Systemsettings Micro in - on Mac - is Zoom G3 )

Should be a good midrange Micro what would you recommend ?



Headphone i just would use when i should be a bit more silence when others are sleeping

mostly for my guitar playing.

Wich headphone would you recommend ?


I am interested in Quality but not overpriced because its just for private use on GMC.


Hope its not to much wanted

Good I am glad that the Black Sabbath lesson working out for you!

You got all the chords right but I think the issue is in the right hand
Not all the chords sounding clear and you have timing issue
If you could send me your right hand close up (angle doesn't matter)
I will be able to give you exact directions on how to improve it and it will make the process much easier for you!
Let me know if you can do it if not I will find another way to show you the movements
