Hi mate!
Yes, I recommend you this book in Spanish: https://www.amazon.es/Armon%C3%ADa-Funciona...s/dp/B00BNEW3H0 There are other brands that sell products that are similar to Shredneck. Check out what you can get in Colombia. About Youtube Channels... there are a lot of channels, but Rick Beato has everything you need and more... -------------------- My lessons

I checked a preview of the book and it looks pretty interesting. I will check the channel as well. Here are my takes for the Ben Higgins land of legato and Emir Hot's neoclassical solo lessons. Regarding the legato exercise I'm having trouble shifting positions, also, I feel more comfortable when using my index than when using my ring finger. I tried at two different tempos. The neoclassical solo I think is decent but there are some errors in there and I'm not totally happy with the tone. Here are them: Thanks again! Angel. |

Hi mate! Great stuff!
I'll copy all your routines here so we have easy access to them: https://tinyurl.com/y6oulblo I can see that you are doing a good job with both lessons. It's obvious that you need more days of practice in order to master them. Here I'll give you some tips, comments and ideas for the next days of practice: - Try to keep your left hand fingers closer to the fretboard. This habit will have very important impact in your overall playing. - I notice that you are doing too much strength when playing legato. Try to relax your hands and to reduce pressure. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/ixcfVBdsV9I - When doing vibrato, be sure to start the movement from your wrist and avoid to start it from your fingers. This will help you to make it sounds more consistent. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/JNDyI5b3Fh8 - Identify the most difficult position shifts in land of legato, isolate them and practice as a loop. What about the improvisation tasks? How are they going? -------------------- My lessons

Hi Gab, Wow a lot of time without talking here, I apologize with you for that  I had several problems with my ISP after I moved to my new house, when I told you they were about to install the internet one problem happened and then another and another one... at the end, my internet was installed and ready a few weeks ago. Then the "Jam with Kris" collab was open and I found it like some kind of challenge for me... so I spent a lot of time working on the solos and understanding Reaper and how to record with my pedal. But now I'm back to my routine (https://tinyurl.com/y6oulblo), I promise I will be really dedicated with it. I also want to participate in the current collab to jam with you  and also go back with the Todd Simpson Shred Bootcamp... a lot of work, but I know is a fun work and a useful one.Have a nice day dude. Angel. |

Hi Leo! Good job mate!
I can see important improvements in your new take. Your vibrato is getting better and your overall playing starts to sound more consistent. I recommend you to put some more focus to adjust timing, mostly when you do legato and trills where you tend to rush a bit. I'm sure that working on Land of legato will really help with this one, so you have the right routine for now. Your vibrato now starts correctly, but there is some more room to make it more regular and connected with the backing track. We could add a vibrato lesson to your practice sessions soon, what do you think? Keep going mate! -------------------- My lessons

There are some parts where I feel connected and other ones where I feel running out of ideas and thinking I will sound repetitive. I guess I can do it a lot better but I'm really enjoying the process.|

Hi Leo!! This is AWESOME!!
You are doing a great job with the Improvisation course mate. It's normal to find yourself running out of ideas, and that's when we have to get inspiration from our heroes. Go and learn some Major Scale licks and phrases from your favourite guitarists. You can also use GMC lessons for that. Remember Kris Dahl's Your first phrases lesson and apply those concepts. I recommend you checking some Satriani's or Andy Timmon's songs to get some ideas... -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (LEO89PRIEST @ Oct 15 2019, 01:18 PM) 1) Which lick or phrase matches in a best way an specific part of a backing track? Should I know the harmony, the chord that is sounding? You learn to do this by experimenting and practicing. Knowing the chord that is sounding is always helpful but it's a more advanced improvisation technique. By now, you can focus on sounds, notes and rhythm. I think that Kris lesson, as well as the other ones from his Jam School series will really help you with this. QUOTE (LEO89PRIEST @ Oct 15 2019, 01:18 PM) 2) Which licks are majors and which are minors? Do I have to know the key of those songs where I'm taking the licks from? What if those licks are neither minor nor major? Yes, you have to know the key of the song. For example, that song by Satriani is in B major, so all those licks are in Major scale. -------------------- My lessons
