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 Cosmin!
I'll try and adjust my position, get something to elevate my foot and maybe a better chair for playing. I'll update when I do. Here's a 2min version of the Green Day inspired song. I thought about making it longer but I think it's better this way. I'm happy with this idea. I feel like I'm learning a lot. https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/green-day-inspired-2 By the way, what happened to your video chats? Thanks!

Hey Cosmin!
I think I won't do a video for this one, at least for now as I can only record with my webcam currently. And that's too bad! I've been watching some old video chats and I liked yours. Also Darius's chats are extremely informative. I've been working on another lesson, this time by Stephane Lucarelli. https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/jazz-funk-licks What do you think? Thanks!

Hey Cosmin!
Stephane's lesson isn't a simple one for me. Lots of feel in the rhythm. I tried again. https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/jazz-funk-licks-2 And hey, I just remembered you did a very cool take on Billy Jean in one of the video chats. Are you planning on recording it and putting it on Youtube? I think I remember you saying something like that. Thanks!

Hey Cosmin!
How was the gig? Are everyone satisfied with the amount that was raised?When I played that lick in 0:42 I realized there was some automatic response from my 3rd finger. So I played it slowly for a while, got a little control of it and tried again. https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/jazz-funk-licks-3 What do you think? Waiting for Youtube links for your covers! Thanks!

Hey Cosmin!
Happy to hear it went well I know what you mean. Sometimes I can't control myself With not much time on my hands, I did manage to record a couple of takes. https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/jazz-funk-licks-4 Thanks! I saw the Hasselhoff collab today and I thought to give it a shot. So I tried to divide the progression into individual modes - D, A, G, (Briefly returning to) A, Bm, A, G, Em, F#/D (or D), G, A So D Ionian - A Mixolydian - G Lydian B Aeolian - A Mixolydian - G Lydian E Dorian - D Ionian - G Lydian - A Mixolydian But the backing track itself doesn't have much time and I began rushing. So I hummed some lines and tried to implement them. Would love some guidance on writing a solo for this. So here's a quick improv on the backing track - https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/hasselhoff-collab Thanks once again

Hey Amitai! Your groove is better, but still
I would widen the vibrato! How about perfecting your technique with this lesson?https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginner-Summer-Tune/ Oh and by the way - here are the recordings from the acoustic gig: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=51504 |

Dude This is already very nice Melodic and smooth - it fits the track very well  The space does not allow that much of a modal approach as you want it to, so building a nice line like this is BY FAR the winning choice - if you wanna keep it Hasselhoff till the end finish with a faster lick starting around 0:23 QUOTE (Amitai Kedmi @ Mar 3 2014, 03:27 PM) Hey Cosmin! Your performance is so energetic! I love it! Very musical and theatrical The lesson is great too. Piotr plays so well. I'll get on it! And I think I missed you by a bit when editing my last post, I wrote something there about the Hasselhoff collab. Check it out when you have the time Thanks! Thank you once again, man Piotr's lesson is JUST THE THING for you, right now, as it'll help you a lot with expression and most notably, control!

Hey Cosmin!
Began working on Piotr's lesson. I got the volume up when I played because the notes died pretty fast. After I uploaded the recording I realized that in some points it doesn't sound good because of the high volume. https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/beginner-summer-tune And here's another of Piotr's lessons. https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/jazz-blues-phrasing Still have a lot of work on both of them. Especially the two fast licks on the second one. As for the Hasselhoff collab - Are you sure you meant 0:23? The backing already fades at that point. I will try to come up with something Thanks!

Hey Cosmin!
I tried to start the vibrato later. The notes still die early. Beginner Summer Tune https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/beginner-summer-tune-2 Worked on the faster licks a little. Jazz Blues Phrasing https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/jazz-blues-phrasing-2 Legato Major Scale run in the end of the take. The Hasselhoff Collab https://soundcloud.com/amitaik/hasselhoff-collab-2 What do you say? Thanks! |
