QUOTE (Andrew Cockburn @ Oct 13 2007, 10:22 AM)  If nothing else, +1 for slower backing tracks ... Yeah,slower backing are fine,will add few more for next lessons. Plus,you can change speed in GP file and turn metronome on. Let's see what Kris has to say about it. -------------------- Youtube

QUOTE (muris @ Oct 13 2007, 09:14 AM) Must say few more things here.  First,adding BT to GP file is huge job,don't get me wrong guys... But playing whole lesson at few speeds is something we don't have agreement for.

I have no problem with the backing tracks. Sorry, I consider them pretty useless at any speed. In fact less than useless. They make you sound better. Correct. Extend that. They fool you into thinking you sound better than you really do. I really believe that. All this backing is counter productive for people in the learning stages. It is just play time, but using a straight metronome is much more productive, because then you really listen to yourself, your flaws are not covered up by a bunch of backing.
The things I would like are 1) Fingering at the top. Don't know why nobody bothers with that. Now I care less than I used to, in fact, I care little now, I finger it like I want to, and the fingering of the teacher is typically predicable to me at this point. Except that i believe Muris used his pinky for a vibrato. That was unusual, and it is something I have tried to do from the beginning. 2) Some of the instructors loose the correct rhythm when they slow it down. Not all. Some are careful to keep the correct rhythm. But not all of them. I have had to slow down the fast version on my own, which is no big deal, so I don't care so much. But sometimes the rhythm is really important. I will give an example, as I think this guy is gone now. https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...cking/index.htm The key to the lesson was the rhythm, a simple thing. But he totally missed the rhythm on the slow part, absolutely wrong. There are others, but I will leave it there, rhythm is half of it, most of it, and even on the slow parts, the teachers need to capture that, as those who do indeed capture it will agree I am sure. So bottom line, I have few complaints, this site is great as far as I am concerned, I am getting much more than my money's worth. But at first, the lack of fingerings was troublesome, made it difficult when I was just starting out. And if the rhythm is important, and they don't capture that on the slow part, it means I have to do a bit a work on my own. This post has been edited by fkalich: Oct 14 2007, 01:36 PM |

Maybe a bit OT - but I'd say that the last few posts from Leedbreak, Muris and Understudy really for me help encapsulate why GMC is such a good site. As people often say the forum members here are nice people who are genuinely out to help.
Personally, I don't think any apologies were/are necessary for the thread as it's all been done with good intentions... ...and in the best possible taste (very old reference to Kenny Everett there ).Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
