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 matey! Welcome back Sure thing - we can start working together again, if that is what you wish. About the recording, I think it's a bit too long in respect to its diversity. What sort of structure did you have in mind when you started this piece? I mean, a classic example would be:
A,B,A,B,C,B - that means verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus I also run things a bit more structured nowadays and I would love to see where you are with your playing and current goals - so, I was thinking that maybe you would be interested in taking a look over these questions here and writing me the answers so that I may help out as best as possible: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...t=0&start=0 What do you say, mate? |

Hey mate Thanks for taking the time to arrange this! It is pretty eloquent and after a bit of thinking, I think that we should go for a 3 hour routine/ day. The idea here is not to play guitar all day long, but to play guitar with a purpose and see progress occurring. I think we can tackle two lessons/ week - one based on rhythm and one on lead techniques.
After finishing each lesson you will also have creative tasks based on the principles you have learned in each lesson, ok? As for the general approach, I'd like you to try the following steps: - understand the theoretical concepts - know what and why you are playing is a healthy way of learning - learn the lesson structure - things will flow naturally once you know what's next when playing any piece - learn each part and reproduce it slowly with the metronome - you will learn the lesson and become accustomed with the timing and feel - put all the parts together and practice them against the slowest available backing track - respecting timing and phrasing will provide essential advantages when you will face the details of any piece! - work your way up tempo with the available backing tracks Now that you have these ideas under your nose. I'd like you to try to divide your time in the following fashion: Day 1-5: Apply the steps above for the lessons until you are comfortable with playing them and you can focus only on the troublesome spots in the lessons - each and everyone will have some and I want you to tell me about your progress along the way. It is important to discuss how things are going and manage to spot eventual issues before they are harder to fix Day 6-7 - Revision (you practice the lessons, assuming you that you already know the structures and you can play them) - focus on timing, definition, clean playing, articulations and details! Recording - it's not mandatory but it can help A TON and it will always be a measure of your progress. For the first week, I'd like you to go for the following lessons: Alternate picking: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ - I noticed that your AP could use some work so, I thought this would be the perfect one to begin with. Riffing/rhythm: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...c-metal-rhythm/ - great riffing drill What do you think, man? Cosmin |

Hey mate
Let's begin by learning the notes on the fretboard - that is a very important step - learning the notes separately and managing to recognize them in a musical context, without leaning on ANY pattern based form - I.E. scale shapes, or anything that will hold you down in a fixed space. What I'd like you to do, is read this first chapter here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=47441 After reading this one, I would like you read the notes of the lesson in this thread and let me know if you understand the concept of minimising your instrument down to a 'one string guitar' -> https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=671081 After making sure you understood everything written in here, I will start giving you tasks based on what you have read - do we have a deal? |
