We have noticed several GMC’ers are bordering a “threshold experience” - meaning they are about to reach a new level.
Taking those final steps can be a frustrating experience - because the closer we get to our goals, there more confused we get about why we haven’t achieved them yet. Our vision gets blurred. It is easy for students who practice a lot to loose perspective on their own level and progress. We don’t want you to just sit at home and “wait for something to happen” - therefore we are launching a new kind of group mentoring where we select students who we think are close to this threshold experience. So what is this program about? The goal is to help you overcome your threshold in a fast way. 1 - I will contact members via pm who we think have the right level for this. These students have been chosen after researching everybody’s work at the forum (REC program, Collabs, Mentoring programs, Workouts and other threads). 2 - I will give ~weekly assignments with *strict deadlines* that should be respected to accomplish the objectives of this course. You will have to work on them during the whole week and share a take to let us analyze it and decide if you pass to the next assignment. So again - the idea is not for you to sit and wait for the ‘train to pick you up’. Instead, *you will have to work hard to remain on this train!* So this program will require much more work, and in return the rewards will be much greater. 3 - At the end of the course, we will set a date to have a live stream at the chat-room to hear the students who reached the end of the program rocking some of the assignments. If you want to know what you must do to qualify for this program, please contact me. -------------------- My lessons

Feel honored to see my lesson chosen for you program. Thanx for your kind words Gabriel! As for the tone. I know there is a problem with volume rolls - some distortion devices do not sound best when you roll off the volume. I do not want to mess too much in your heads about tone set-up but I can give some very basic tips. If you don't have a single coil, don't worry - simply brighten the tone of your less paul. Any kind of "Marshall-like" crunch distortion simulation should do the job. LeXTAC is a Bogner Extasy simulation and Bogner became famous by making mods on Marshall amps. Many people agree that Bogner is sort of Marshall on steroids That's why any "British stack" amp sim should do the job The tips: 1. Make sure to use low distortion level to keep wide dynamics translation range - see if the sound becomes much more sharp when you pick very hard and the opposite - warm and round when you softly touch the string. If there is too much distortion, the difference between those two will be too small. 2. Make sure to turn off the noise gate on your signal chain - will help to avoid volume swells failure. Low gain level should be enought to get rid of most of the hum/noise Thanks a lot Mr Wave for the great tips here! It's very valuable for us here to have your input during these 10 days of work over your lesson. Hey Gab! So just a quick update of where I am at: https://soundcloud.com/stortzmusic/gmc-ballad-progress-2 I've been trying to tighten up the timing and focus on reaching the right pitches on my bends (except at 27s where I purposely over-bend to emulate the Bendy Blues assignment). Tried to work on the tone a little bit as well - just updated my setup with a BBE Sonic Maximizer rack mount and a Tube Screamer (to add some analog to the signal instead of using the built in TS clone on my 11 Rack). Do you think it's any better? I know I'm kind of using more of my own stuff than I probably should but I can't help it - this backing track rocks - but I am trying to use as wide of a range of dynamics as I can possibly think of so that counts for something, right? Keep on rockin' everyone! Great job Chris! The new tone is much better now! The overall color is nicer, and more natural, and it fits a lot better with the mix. Good job changing gear and tweaking the EQ. Your playing is also on the right track, be careful with bends and of course keep on exploring dynamics possibilities.... My first version. I hope i have the right sound. At 1:20 there is a noise on the backing track. Do you have that too ?? Hi Beat! Great to see you working hard. Your tone is good, I think that it has the right amount of drive and that the only thing that needs some tweak is the EQ. There are some low mid frequencies a bit too present, I would try searching for those frequencies and lowering them a bit. Besides this, please also focus a bit more on your phrasing, try to be more precise with the pitches while bending and also while playing vibrato, and give more attention dynamics to control this element a bit more. Keep on the hard work! -------------------- My lessons
