> 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.

Hey Man, I used to play Violin , so I know how to read notes and I know what the markings mean in Notations, for guitar , pretty little... I can't read Notations or lets say bearly, ... I actually CAN read them but I need a long time, I prefer Tabs :-) I know what scales are , I've learned a minor Pentatonic Scale in the Key of E that I can change into any key right? And ... thats .... pretty much it ... biggrin.gif I didnt learn that much stuff in theory =D

Thx for the great mentoring Cosmin,

The secret smile.gif Well, it's not that big a secret actually - it's all about becoming the best YOU as a musician managing to let aside the fear that you can't play this and this and that or that you don't sound like x and y and z smile.gif

I think that it's best for us to start from ground up and I'd go for the major scale at first!

So - I have a first task for you:

1) Considering that the major scale formula is: whole - whole - half - whole - whole - whole - half (steps, of course)

Example: C whole D whole E half F whole G whole A whole B half C

2) Tell me the notes that make up the D, A and E major scales

3) Make a little recording in which you play these scales on your guitar in 5 different positions

Ready?

Go!

Cosmin

Nope Cosmin,

Didn't look that up, I just know the Notes on the 6th and 5th String completely, that's how it was easy .I'm not foolin ya, I wouldn't have an Advantage then either. I am working on that Video . One Question:May I use the Octave like 4th string "0" D and 12th fret "D" to show you the major scale?

Hello and here it is.Well, you can clearly see in the Video that I improvised a bit , I wasn't home a long time and I had to go again so here is the take, sry for the poor audio and Video quality, when I have more time quality gets waaaayyy better. But here you got your five positions, you can also see that I am carefull cause I didn't want to play the pattern wrong.

biggrin.gif lots and lots and lots of mistakes=DDDD

Hey mate! It's all good biggrin.gif No worries about the little hesitations, ok? My goal here was to make you see that all those notes appear in varous spots on the neck and you need to pay attention in order to know where they are. Slowly but surely, you will have a good ensemble view on the notes on the neck smile.gif


You should practice the drill you did in this video with every available major scale - that is a task that should be ongoing and also, saying the note names out loud while playing them would help a tremendously big lot!

Now, the next move would be for you to take a look at the following lessons and start understanding a bit about how chords are being formed smile.gif

Before recording - please tell me if you understood the concept behind it, ok?

Ok , I am starting off, this is already a bit harder for me to understand. I also taught myself a bit piano , so that's a bit help to understand the Inversions what he means in his Lessons, because they are very simple things on the piano. So it's a great thing, now I know how to play 3 Inversions of the C chord (on three strings). Great Lesson so far, I am still looking at it.

Thanks! biggrin.gif
