HEY MAN, I really need your help...
...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 ;)

Purple Hayes CV:
To get an idea of my skill level, here's my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/duathlon70 I played a bit back when I was in my teens and early 20's but quit playing for about 15 years and started again 2 years ago. Since then, I've been an active member of GMC and overly active in the REC program  . I've got a bit of theory knowledge but could easily learn a lot more if pushed.What I think I'd like to get out of this (but that's up to you, you're the boss): I'd like to have faster AP skills. That's probably the thing that hold me back from doing the more advanced lessons. But really, I'll learn anything you ask me to.

Ok Purple Hayes! I've been watching some of your videos. I could note clearly what you mean in the "Phrygian Dominant solo". So we will do a intense alternate picking work. Which are your favorite guitar players?

QUOTE (purple hayes @ Dec 2 2009, 02:57 PM)  Satriani, Vai and Mustaine. I should also add that I'm on vacation for the last week of December and won't have a guitar with me. Thanks for notifying me! I'm not sure if we can do the MTP since we have one assignment per week. Let me check it with Chris. -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (purple hayes @ Dec 2 2009, 04:55 PM) Can we double up one week? yes, we can continue and we have two possibilities. Try to make the 4 assignments and the REC before you go on vacation or you can complete the MTP when you are back.

Ok Purple Haye! This is your first assignment post for December. As I said in the previous post I’ve been checking your videos at youtube and I also think that working on Alternate picking is a good idea as well as on some other techniques to train your speed.
We will start with the first group of alternate picking exercises over three notes per string positions. The idea is to practice this with metronome starting at a comfortable tempo and then keep increasing the bpm until you reach at least the 200 bpm. The note value is 16th triplets. The first exercise must be repeated on strings 3, 4 and 5, 6. The second exercise is in A minor and it could be practiced in the other three notes per string positions is you have enough time. You always have to start with a down stroke in both exercises. Pay attention on:

QUOTE (purple hayes @ Dec 3 2009, 10:36 PM) Am I supposed to be economy picking? no, you have to use Alternate picking. No matter if you are crossing strings. -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (purple hayes @ Dec 7 2009, 06:55 AM) 2 hrs. during the week and 3 on the weekends. Edited to add: I usually break down my practicing into 15 minute chunks (20 min. on the weekends). A typical schedule might be: 15 min - Legato 15 min - Tapping 15 min - Sweeping 15 min - Country Licks 15 min - blues etc. until I run out of practice time and have to to to work. Ok! So let's set our assignments in 30 minutes per day. When the week is ended you can add the exercises to your diary routines. -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (purple hayes @ Dec 8 2009, 11:12 AM) Can we bump my schedule up by a day? I usually record stuff at night, but Wednesday nights are band practice, so they're out. I'll record this weeks stuff and have it posted by tonight. If you want to post up two weeks worth of lessons this week to make up for the last week of December, I'm cool with that. Perfect!

Exercise 1 at different tempos so you can see where things start to fall apart.
Exercise 2 at different tempos so you can see where things start to fall apart. (played along with the GP file because I wasn't really thinking about it coming through in the recording. oops) I probably should have put this in the CV, but this is about as fast as I want to get: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/modal_...tring_patterns/ It's not insanely, shreddy fast, but it's fast enough to play anything I'd want to play.

You did a great job man! At 180 and even 190 bpm you play the exercises perfectly. Then you have some little synchronization problems that can be fixed with some more practice. So I think that you passed this one!
In your CV you said that your AP limits you to play advanced lessons... What lesson could you give me as an example of this? -------------------- My lessons

I can't even come close to playing this one: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...cking-advanced/ A lesson of yours that isn't within my skills: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ed-solo-lesson/ (at least the first 6 bars) I may sneak that last lesson into my practicing line up. The patterns look fairly easy to learn. -------------------- My guitar bits on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/duathlon70" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/duathlon70</a>
