I'll have to postpone this untill tomorow. I have made videos, just some "editing" and then I'm finished
 It's not a "who has the best video" contest, right? |

That's a great idea and I'd really enjoy to have a mentor to help me.
I have been playing for 18 months now (including 1 whole year with GMC) and I feel that my technique is improving as I could expect, but I am having a lot of trouble to improvise something that will make me shake my head (and to improvise in general). If I try to play something in A pentatonic minor for instance, I am not really able to play something else than random 16th note, and the "pulse" is lacking. I'd really love to be able to play this style of solo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeUIwqNSnKs . For now, the main thing I'd like to work on is to feel the rythm. Regarding the technique, for now I feel comfortable when playing 16th notes at something about 120bpm (depending on the note pattern of course) and I can fairly easily string skip (trying to play a lot of Paul Gilbert stuff). However, I still need to work on the sound of my alternate picking, which I do not find regular enough. I'd also like to improve my chord knowledge, since I feel that I can only play in minor pentatonic, major or minor scales (even though I know the theory about modes, I cannot manage to get the feel while playing). I uploaded 2 little videos (unfortunately of poor quality). This post has been edited by Ttask: Aug 25 2008, 04:34 AM

Looks as though I may be too late ~ Work comes early and runs late... I havent been home long enough and at an appropriate time to play guitar for a video... I get off work fairly early tomorrow and will record one regardless as to being late or not ^^; Anyhow.
Thankfully, I do not tap my foot to keep beats... Playing a game called Bust A Groove non stop years ago gave me an internal metronome ^^ As for playing along with tracks, or other people... I find it near impossible for the moment... I seem to come in on the second or third beat of the measure and stop myself to try to resync with the track, or the friends I am trying to jam with. Playing solo parts I think is quite possible for me... but as for chords... I can play two or three, and it feels nearly impossible to switch from chord to chord while playing ( If I can even play the chord... I find it near impossible to play a D chord no matter how long I take to position my hand). Moving my hand on the neck while playing has been getting slightly better... as in playing a few notes in the 3rd fret area, then sliding the fretting hand to the 12th fret area to play a note... I still have a little trouble at best, and there is a noticable pause in playing. I almost never use my pinky when I play... Ive had friends show me ways to strengthen the finger and get it in use while playing... but it still felt unnatural. That is about all I can think of presently on my negative playing. As for what I hope to accomplish in the future: I would love to be able to shred. Yngwie is half the reason I bought a guitar... but I know this is years away from happening, if at all. I would like to learn something about songwriting theory, and improvising ( I think these two may go together ) I would like to gain confedence in playing in front of other people... I feel that ive come miles from where I started... but at the same time it feels like I should put the guitar down and stop embarrasing myself. Tomorrow after work I will record a video of about everything I know and add it to this post.

Number of downloads: 205EDIT: I added to video... I actually bought a webcam to make this with... so the video is terrible due to the lack of my experience... also, I am sorry for making your ears bleed with the terrible playing ^^; I am actually quite embarassed about posting this... but heres to hope Ill get better ! |
