...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 ;)

Hi Renan! Welcome to your Gab's Army thread!!
Could you please tell me a bit about you, your musical tastes, influences, strengths and weaknesses? I would need some videos of you playing rhythm and solo guitar, so please post your best material here. If you have some music or ideas of your own, also post them here. Also let me know how you think that I can help you and what are your expectations for our job. You can check the other Army's thread to discover the different modalities of this project. The principles of our Army are: + Improve your technique + Make music and solos + Have fun + Destroy the enemy (hahaha not really just kidding... ) -------------------- My lessons

Hi ,
I'm 16 , and I've been playing guitar and drums for 4-5 years. My favorite bands and musicians ; Most of the musicians who plays at Crossroads Festival (Eric Clapton , Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck etc.) , Led Zeppelin , Sabbath , Judas Priest , Joe Satriani , Saxon , Raven , Pink Floyd, Van Halen ... I want to improve my tapping and sweep picking techniques and learn using the guitar slide. Here are some of my recs playing rhytm and solos : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FleXAgP5SVo...D1rtOuCsBkMqiCA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYxgL2jbCQg...D1rtOuCsBkMqiCA a blues improvisation : https://soundcloud.com/rteuman-1/blues-do-a-lameysi I can't decide what am I going to focus on , after practising some tapping i found myself practising a jazz solo. So what's it gonna be? This post has been edited by Renan: Jul 1 2013, 11:23 AM |

Hi Renan! Thanks for the links and the info. I think that the main goal of this work together will be to make you focus on assignments weekly. I will suggest you lessons or exercises and I will wait for videos or audio files of you playing it after 7 days of practice. The idea is that you build a routine that includes things that you are already working on but that incorporate the new lessons/exercises.
We will work on Sweep Picking, Tapping but I also think that working on bending, vibrato and AP is a good idea to take your playing to a new level. First a question: what tapping and sweep Picking lessons have you worked? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Renan! Good job on this first week! Here we go with the comments:
Tapping: You are getting a good sound of this technique. Sometimes I can notice some little unwanted noises that should be mute with the palm of your right hand, excepting the ones the 2nd string noises that should be muted with the tips of the fingers of your left hand. You also must adjust the timing of it, it must be 16th notes played very tight, like a machine, that's what makes tapping amazing. Be sure to make the pull-of string to make each note sound at the same volume. Sweep Picking: This technique requires patients and lots of repetitions. Try to start working slower than the tempo of the video, concentrating on tempo, the sound of each note and avoiding the extra noises. Experiment with the palm of your right hand and your left hand fingers to geet a clean sound. It's very important to make lots of looped repetitions at a tempo that you can keep both hands 100% synchronized and then increase the tempo slowly, as I showed you in the Vchat. -------------------- My lessons
