Hi Mirko!
Let's get started with the MTP!  As you already mentioned on the PM, please post: - Musical preferences and background - Favorite guitarists/bands - What would you like to get out of the MTP program in general? - More specific technical and theorical goals Depending on your answers. I'll tailor the program to your needs. If you want to add some specific comments, please do. -------------------- Visit my:

All right Mirko!
Let’s start addressing some aspects you want to work on. If you haven’t checked it, this thread on theory by Andrew Cockburn can clear a lot of things regarding theory: Theory basics thread Read Minor pentatonic for this week and First assignment: Due December 11th (Recordings on mp3 or video) - Record and post the Slow bending lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...g-guitar-licks/ - Record and post rhythmic exercise from GP file - Record and post speed exercise from GP file - From the minor pentatonic thread answer: What are both the Pentatonic and the Blues scales particularly suitable for? - Try this online application and see how you do with it. The relevant intervals in that link are: Prime, Major 3rd, Perf. 5th, Octave (I’m guessing you recognize what they are) Ear training application If you can get your hands on a better application like Sibelius Aurelia or Ear training master, that'd be good, but to start this one will do just fine. No assignment in this department yet, just see how you go. For the REC lesson, is there any particular lesson you want to work on for this month related to what you want to work on? If you have questions or comments please post them.

Hey Daniel,
i have started working on that stuff! its much fun! im very motivated to upload good videos for you! ok, i have read the theorie stuff, both scales are particularly suitable for rock and 12 bar blues (im still trying to find out what 12 bar blues means). i would like to finish the slash lesson if you think i should do! i thing i need 3 maybe 4 hours to fix it! i only have to become faster: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...h-style-lesson/ This post has been edited by MirkoSchmidt: Dec 5 2009, 12:12 AM --------------------  |

QUOTE (MirkoSchmidt @ Dec 9 2009, 12:39 AM)  oh damn, i havengt an ear for that... sometimes it sounds almost ok, but sometimes when i hear that it sounds terrible out of tune... that's perfect! you have very good string bending control on this particular exercise, let's move on to some demanding exercises, I quite liked this one! and that's a nice guitar, me and my friend agree is that a PRS? QUOTE (MirkoSchmidt @ Dec 6 2009, 12:52 PM) Hey Daniel, here is the Speed exercise, i practiced with metronome, i think its 184 bpm, but im not sure, hope you like it... This is pretty good! it's perfect as well, I know we can focus on some more demanding exercises to improve speed, Great! The slash lesson is good for your rec assignment! Slash is a bending master -------------------- Visit my:

QUOTE (MirkoSchmidt @ Dec 7 2009, 01:21 PM) hey, i have a question to the rythmic-exercise. im not sure how to play it. how should i touch/strike the strings? should i do up/down/up/down even if there is a break or should i move the plec in the breaks as well? (and get up/down/down/up/down for example) i have seen on my speed-exercise video, that im doing a break with my right hand during the slides! is that ok, or should i do up/down/up/down there the hole time? oh man, thats so complicated to explain that in english! Hope you understand what i mean! The way you are doing your picking on the video is perfect, there's no problem on doing the slides. That's the point on doing that type of picking on one string. About the rhythm exercise, the point is to do it without the guitar, trust me this will help your rhythm a lot. So record the figure on the GP file with your clapping hands. If you feel comfortable do it with your voice as well with syllables like "Taa" or "Paa" The point is to be locked with the metronome, to place the claps on the exact time when the click is, or on exactly half the time, as the figure requires it, -------------------- Visit my:

Hi Mirko,
I’m very pleased with your work on the first assignment! Let’s move on with the second: Second assignment: Due December 17th /2009 - Record and post Rhythmic exercise attached on GP file with clapping hands with a metronome. - Record and post Speed exercise number two perfectly executed. The goal is to get it at the tempo written but it’s more important that all the notes are clean and secure, so record at the desired tempo to achieve this. Alternate picked starting on a down stroke. - Record and post Bending assignment. These bendings are taken from the song ”You could be mine” by GnR. I just wrote each lick individually, not in the actual tempo of the song, you have to play them as they appear in the song, the intro part. Use the actual song to record over it. Notice that you must bend two strings (2,3) to get that particular sound. Careful with that rhythm, can be tricky. Feel free to make questions or comments!

QUOTE (MirkoSchmidt @ Dec 12 2009, 09:33 AM) sorry, one date too late: The rhythm exercise is very well executed! great! you have a good sense of rhythm, we'll keep on building it up. At the end you did an extra bar that is not written on the exercise. The bar lines with the two dots mean you have to make the exercise twice only. Now, for the second rhythm exercise. It is on 4/4. In an even time signature there's always natural accents. In this case they fall on 1 and 3. The 1 is a very strong accent and the 3 is a more mild one. 2 and 4 are sort of passive pulses. So for the next assignment, accent 1 and 3.

It's good for the REC assignment!
