Awesome! Let's start!!!
Here is the backing track I would like you to use to practice! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/withguitar It's a minor blues The chord changes are: Ami7 - Dmi7 - Ami7 - Emi7 - Dmi7 - Ami7 I have a really good exercise that will help you develop your own style! I want you to start creating your own licks! To start we will use A minor blues pentatonic in 3 positions: You can use any notes from those positions !Try to combine them together and turn them into short licks! I would like to hear what you can come up with before I will give you examples! Let me know if you need help or have any questions! P.S. In a few days I will give you a very col warm up exercise to build your alternative picking! ! -------------------- |

I have a few very good exercises that will help you to develop alternative picking much faster!
Let's start with this one! Make sure to practice it at a very slow tempo! Slower you do it better results you will get!!! Here is the tab: E ||---------------------------|----------------------------------------| Hands_workout.gp5 ( 4.5K ) Number of downloads: 117 This exercise did miracles for me! And helped me to get my technique to the next level! You will see results very fast! Also I will give you two more exercise a little later! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions! -------------------- |

I am really not as good at improvising as I wish. Do you think we can focus on improvisation with bluesy licks for a while. I really like the styles of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Slash, Jimmy Page, and Gary Moore when he's playing blues. Awesome! I have a perfect assignment for you! It is a minor blues in A minor http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/withguitar The chords are: Ami7 - Dmi7 - Emi7 I would like you to play A minor blues pentatonic in this position over Ami7 and Dmi7 chords E minor blues pentatonic over Emi7 chord Try to be as melodic as possible and have fun jamming over this track! Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |

I will put those exercises as my new warm up routine. I think since Gab is also my teacher I will focus on technique with him and here I can work on my improvisation. I have been jamming to the track you gave me all week and trying to come up with something good! I'll post a video tomorrow. So I added my solo to give you some ideas! I would like you to continue and add the next 12 bars! http://soundcloud.com/alex-feather-akimov/sparrow Please leave the rest of the track playing so I can add the next solo! I used the same scales and shapes I gave you! Looking forward to hear your take! Let me know if you have any questions or need help! -------------------- |
