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.

Aloha there George!
Thank you for your kind thoughts man! It's a pleasure to work with people which take things seriously but never forget to smile and enjoy what they are doing!  Taking things one at a time: - This thread belongs to you meaning that, by posting here we will communicate regarding your mentoring  - I suggest we focus on theory/ ear training and rhythm for the following period - If you have a videocam, just shoot the vid with yourself playing and you'll have sound as well for this particular recording. After this, I'll send you a little vid in which you will see how things are done with little gear and nice results  Send the recording to me via rapidshare.com using my official GMC email address - [email protected] Please let me know if I can further assist Cosmin |

Ok, I suggest we work like this - you have 10 days for each group of assignments, deal? Here is the first group: Alternate picking: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Picking-Hand-Basics/ Legato: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beginn...eginner-Legato/ Ear training and theory - Try the following exercises: 1) We have the major scale built up using this formula: w w h w w w h. w = whole step h = half step 2) Any natural major scale is built after this formula. Example: C D E F G A B C there's a w between C and D there's a w between D and E there's a h between E and F there's a w between F and G there's a w between G and A there's a w between A and B there's a h between B and C Now, if you look at your guitar, you will notice that if you play the C note (3rd fret D string) the D note is one whole step up, on the same string. That means that the note right next to the C note is C# and the note next to C # is D. So, 2 frets up means one whole step and one fret up means a half step. 3) Now, we have concluded that E is the major third in the case of C major and if we lower the major 3rd with one half step, we get the minor third and automatically, we can create a minor chord - C minor in our case. Here are the formulas: 1 3 5 - major chord formula. Example: C E G 1 b3 5 - minor chord formula. Example: C Eb G 4) If you know these now, please tell me how does the D major scale look like - what are the notes making it up. (Use the w w h w w w h formula, starting from D) and tell me the notes making up the D major and D minor chords 5) Start a metronome at the tempo of 60 BPM quarter notes, in 4/4 Play a C note at random, on the guitar neck with each first beat in a bar. After being confident with the sounds, try the drill by SINGING the C notes instead of playing them See how fast you can get with this, by pushing up the speed of the metronome while becoming more and more comfortable with the exercise.Rhythm: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/beginners_chord_lesson/ Articulation: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Bens-Vibrato-Odyssey/ What say you? At the end of the 10 days - that means on the 13th of October, I am expecting recordings with each lesson, aside from the theory and ear training exercises.Cosmin This post has been edited by Cosmin Lupu: Oct 3 2012, 08:27 AM |
