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.

I heard that you start by picking up the bass line. then what ? a bass line only provides 12 fret pitches for the song. And in all there are thousands of chords . how to go from 12 fret pitches to getting the exact chord which could be Bbsus4 or Ebdim etc. ??

Mar 23 2013, 11:52 PM	Instructor Posts: 22.808 Joined: 14-June 10 From: Bucharest	Alright Sumit I listened to it and I think that there is a lot of work to be done here regarding the following: - you are missing some notes in comparison to the original - the phrasing needs more work as it has some notes that are missing or aren't quite in timing compared to the original - some of the bends and vibratos lead to notes which are out of pitch. My recommendation would be the following: Slow the original solo down in a DAW or with VLC media player - it is possible like that and try to record your version over the slowed down original and thus you will notice the imperfections.

May 5 2013, 09:02 AM	Learning Apprentice Player Posts: 262 Joined: 22-August 12 From: India	hi cosmin, i was listening to cocaine ( eric clapton ) today and thought it would be fun to play some improvised solo over the chord progression of cocaine. since i am new to the concept of improvisation, can you help me ? the chord progressions is simply E and D. I have created a backing track ( attached ) if you want to hear it. I know its a blues song .. so E blues scale should be good to improvise right ? I don't wan't to actually create a solo of my own rather to create small phrases and if possible spontaneously so that i can jam over the track continuously for hours Cosmin can you elaborate the process of improvisation for me please ? rgds, sumit You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Let's set some coordinates I want you to come up with a lick over the CM7 chord in which you will use only the C, E and G notes in any octave you desire. Try to create a pattern of your own and make me - the listener - remember it Deal? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
