Hi mate! Here I will post some basic things that you should start working.
LESSON #1 – WARMING UP & ENDURANCE LESSON #3 – RIGHT HAND / ALTERNATE PICKING Besides this, you could choose a lesson from the archive level 2 to 4 that you like musically, and start working on it. One that combines rhythm with some easy soloing. Please tell me your favourite bands and I will help you choosing it. -------------------- My lessons

Well I have so many it is hard to say ! But I really like Nickelback , gun's roses , A Day To Remember , Disciple, Some Rise against stuff ,and Red . That sounds good to me. Please also post the lessons that you record here. -------------------- My lessons

I currently still have no way of recording but I think I might get the fast track II . Right now it is the most affordable option because I can plug my guitar straight into it and I wont need any software since my mac has garageband . problem is I live in a small town and I dont get a chance to get to the city very often . But I will try and get one asap . Ok! That sounds good! What's your guitar level (based on GMC lessons) ? -------------------- My lessons

Hi mate! Nice cover! Your performance is really good on this one! I notice that the take has some room reverberation that affects the overall quality... how did you record it?
What about the lessons that you are working? -------------------- My lessons

I found out my Macbook has a built in microphone so I used that + garageband. So I was debating wether or not to put that cover up because I really didn't like the second part of the solo but I thought then you could see the soloing level I'm at and we could work from there I am working on memorizing the warmup and alternate picking exercises . They are quite fun I should have them memorized in a day or 2 , so what would you like me to start working on after that ? Great! Could you please record you playing the exercises? -------------------- My lessons

Great! Could you please record you playing the exercises? Okay here they are split into three parts , that way I didn't have to start all over every time I made a mistake. The first part I found the hardest , but the other 2 parts were almost as difficult . There are a few mistakes 2 or 3 times I was off on the timing and a few times I hit the wrong notes , So it's not perfect but here you go best I could do considering this is only the third day I have been playing this warmup .

Hi mate! The three takes sound good. Considering that you only played this for 3 days you are doing a great job! Please keep on playing this exercises every day and let's incorporate a more musical lesson to make the practice more funny and also to let me check your playing over a backing track. What about this one?

What about this one? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Pop-Punk-II/ Hey thanks for the feedback The first thing I do is play through all the exercises twice every time I pick up my guitar. Haha A year from now it will only take my like 1 minute to play em all ! I love that lesson I already went through I just cant quite yet play it at the tempo that you did . My only problem is I'm not sure how to play over a backing track ?!? -------------------- Never miss an opportunity to play

I love that lesson I already went through I just cant quite yet play it at the tempo that you did . My only problem is I'm not sure how to play over a backing track ?!? Every lesson includes a backing track player in the right side of the video player. Have you noticed it? Is that the problem? or the problem is that you don't know how to record a take using the backing tracks.. ? -------------------- My lessons

The problem is I don't how to record a take using the backing track . The best way would be to use a multitrack software like Reaper or Cubase. You add the backing track in a stereo track and record your take inm another track while you hear the backing. -------------------- My lessons
