QUOTE (Yash @ Jun 1 2012, 10:37 AM)  Hey Gabe, I am done with all my exams and now I'll give all my time and energy to my guitar playing. (Don't ask how it went, just pray that I get selected into the college I was born in  )Now, I am recording my hammer on lesson, it will be imperfect probably. And I'll be there at today's chat  .And then, we'll take it on from here to my further endeavors in the world of soloing and shredding. Make me a shredder man.  This sounds great Yash! Check out the lesson notes for today's chat. We will be playing exercises together so it would be great if you first learn the exercises: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...20&start=20 -------------------- My lessons

I want to integrate this and GMC stuff into my routine.
http://picksnlicks.com/Guitar%20Lessons/Ex..._workout_1.html But, man, I want to confess something. I cant stop my creativity.  Most of the times during my playing, I tend to get bored with something after sometime and then I start toying around., playing riffs, random soloing etc.  How do I stop it ?

You don't have to stop your creativity. Don't worry about it! That workout by Steve Vai is fantastic. I have used is as a guide since the first time I discovered it. You can use the categories as the guidelines and GMC lessons as the exercises to work on. What do you think? Are you doing it? -------------------- My lessons

These are the categories:
1. Exercises 2. Scales 3. Chords 4. Ear training 5. Sight-reading 6. Composing/songwriting 7. Music theories 8. Jamming 9. Rest Let's choose some GMC lessons. For exercises you can also use the lesson notes from my Vchat sessions. Ivan's Arpeggios and Scale workouts are really good for the Scale categories. (Check his lessons HERE) Regarding the chords category, Steve talks about some book that includes lots of chords and suggests to learn at least one new chord per day. I don't know exactly which chords you know and which ones you don't know. This category also includes strumming and rhythm so you should select some musical lessons here in the style that you prefer. Regarding theory you don't have to miss our Theory Board: HERE. About the composition category... I would like to help and guide you with this. We should start with short ideas and also analyzing your favourite bands stuff. You should also join all the collaborations that you can here at GMC. It's very important to practice your composing abilities and also to receive the instructor's feedback. You can also use the backing tracks for the jamming time. -------------------- My lessons

Hi Yash, good take! You are starting to get a better sound of each note when you are playing legato. However your timing is not precise, you have to concentrate on playing tighter. Maybe using the slower backings could help you be more comfortable and play tighter.
I can't see where you are positioning your left hand thumb when you are playing this but be sure to put it centered compared to the other 4 fingers... something like this:  Let's add this warming up and endurance exercises to your diary practice: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=42825 -------------------- My lessons

OK, these are great, but the Frusciante thing isnt my style, so maybe we can change it, but if you think its important, I'll work on it too. And all the collabs have just ended I'll join your next one. Chords I know - - Power Chords (duh) - Barre Chords - E Major/Minor Shape, A Major/Minor Shape - Open Chords - A Major/Minor, C Major, D Major/Minor, E Major/Minor, G Major Scales I know - Minor Pentatonic Scale shape, the most basic one - Minor Scale On one string, I am working for all 6 strings - I have learnt major scale quiet a few times, but always forget it, dont know why ?

yes, we can change it. The idea is to have a melodic solo lesson that uses phrasing, bending and vibrato. Something like this:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Phrase-Book/ Do you have any other suggestion? -------------------- My lessons

In which type of licks does this problem appear? using legato or also with alternate picking? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Yash! Nice post.
Well, regarding power metal, I have been a big fan so I know lots of bands. At first I would start by the first bands that have been considered Power Metal. You should check this ones: Helloween Blind Guardian Gamma Ray Heaven's Gate Rage Grave Digger Then appeared some other that I really like: Angra Stratovarius Rhapsody Hammerfall Sonata Arctica Edguy Avantasia Regarding my brother's experience, it has been very natural. Our uncle was a big fan of rock, metal and power metal. He always shared lots of fantastic music with us and we always enjoyed it together. You can't do anything to convince people to like something that they don't like, but if your brother see you passionate and motivated with music and metal maybe he would like to share that feeeling with you. -------------------- My lessons

For example these ones by Helloween: this one can¡t be considered only ballad because is an epic masterpiece but the chorus is ballad style: my favourite ballad by Blind Guardian: by Edguy: -------------------- My lessons
