QUOTE (Smells @ Jan 3 2008, 09:47 PM)  no dont you dare m8!  your a huge inspiration to many here, your lessons rock!  But it's all my fault  Joking a bit Yeah,this level issue is really tough specially for me when I need to decide which is which. 3 levels are just to small for all techniques,chops etc but will do my best in the future to think more "lower" regarding to levels.

QUOTE (Constie @ Jan 3 2008, 01:28 PM) All in all the system is good but I think the instructors forgot what a "beginner" is The first month I was hardly able to play powerchords. The fingers are wobbly and they won't hit the right fret. I will give you a few examples which are absolute impossible for a beginner: neoclassical-3-levels-beginner three-level-solo-beginner melodic tapping lesson (difficulty 2) This is nice beginner-stuff: mixolydian-soloing-beginner It's really demotivating to see I'm a "beginner" after 3,5 years of playing. If I saw your beginner lessons 3 years ago, I'd rate them as "professional". As a beginner you are impressed by everything that's a little faster because you're not able to play anything cool ya i completely agree-there is NO WAY i could have played those as a beginner

I like Spidey's insight too - it makes perfect sense but he put it particularly well. It also shows what a multi dimensional thing music is - you can break it down by technique, but that still doesn't mean that a level 10 bend-mage can play the blues because he doesn't have any experience in it, so you need to think of the genre too.
The basic point is spot on though - you get so many experience points to spend, and you can concentrate them on one thing, or spread them out on a number of things and do them less well. The experience points you have all come from the amount of quality practicing you do, so practicing more obviously makes you better at what you practice- Slightly better at 10 things, or a lot better at one thing. Thanks for putting it in these terms Spidey - helps a lot! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I'm (more or less) a level 6.
Level 7 is usually a bit too fast. -------------------- www.myspace.com/grimlethorde

QUOTE (Philippe @ Jan 3 2008, 02:05 PM) Was Hendrix an advanced player? In any case, he was not that fast, didn't do much tapping or sweeping. Most of the most famous guitarists are not fast players. To me an advanced player is someone that has a good musical knowledge, can perform well with other musicians, has a decent technique, a good repertoire... I found this school syllabus and I think it gives a nice level scale. Maybe if i was living in the UK I'd take their test in order to get more motivation to practice. http://www.rockschool.co.uk/rsl/sites/6/do...labus_guide.pdf that is all true, and jimi hendrix was one of the most creative guitarists of all time, and that is what made him awsome! -------------------- i tripped and broke my guitar's neck. :(  |
