...the thing is, I need you to start progressing faster then ever, but to achieve that I need your help:
* Don't know where to start? Just pm me and we will sort it out directly, I am online every day.
* Join My Army. Sounds aggressive? It is! We can study anything from the most fearsome picking techniques to bombastic songwriting. A medal of honor awaits the brave. Seriously, this is an opportunity for you to get a personalised learning experience...what are you waiting for?!
* 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?
* Finally I want to tell you a secret. Nah I changed my mind - pm me instead ;)

Sorry Camera not working but I will have this problem solved within a few days... So Gabriel, what do you think should be my first step??? Ok mate! These are our first two works to do: 1. Set your computer to be able to record audio. To make everything the cheaper and smoother and I will recommend you free software. Then you can upgrade to paid one, but it doesn't mean that there is a big difference in the quality you'll get. Please download Reaper, install it in your computer and let me know when it's ready. There is a free version here: http://www.reaper.fm/ 2. Continue working on first steps lessons. Please tell me which ones you've worked and what you felt. -------------------- My lessons

1. Set your computer to be able to record audio. Installed the program successfully, but no idea how it works. 2. Continue working on first steps lessons. Please tell me which ones you've worked and what you felt. To tell you the truth I'm kinda bored with the beginner series, although I appreciate their value. Perhaps you could reccomend an easy lesson of yours if you'd like 1. Excellent! Well. You can let this 11 minutes video for tomorrow because I want to keep my word when I said just "15 minutes every day". So this is the plan: Tomorrow: Watch this video Thursday: Download the driver and amp emulator and install them. Friday: Start experimenting with it. 2. These are my suggestions: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Classi...nk-Sex-Pistols/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...sciante-lesson/ https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Classic-Punk-Ramones/ PS: I didn't say to you that this would take 15 minutes each day... hahaha. But I wanted to say it. Let's focus on guitar playing and dedicate a few amount of time to set up your recording gear.

Already downloaded the software, because I'll be on vacation for 3 days!! Seems really nice!!! Thank you 2.

Hi mate! I got the video via PM!! It works great! We can go for this videos for the mentoring thread! Your rhythm guitar ability sounds very good. You are more than a beginner. Congrats friend! Your right hand looks very good, just remember to relax it a bit more, it's not urgent but your should tend to it. Have you started with the suggestions that I gave? -------------------- My lessons

Thank you very much for your good words!!! Actually I was going to start tomorrow with the Metallica if you don't mind, cause it's mindblowing....!!! I think I can get it, although the solo part seems difficult to me, because of it's speed! Thanks for the advise. Since I am a left handed you were talking about my fretting hand right??? Also what would you suggest? Should I check your other lessons, or can I give it a try to the metallica one??? Thank you Gabriel!!! hahah ups, I was wrong! I was talking about your picking hand, your left. Metallica's lesson would be a great lesson to continue. It includes riffing and soloing and you will be able to master it soon. Let's go for it! -------------------- My lessons
