Kaznie_nl Mtp Thread - June Options

[Adrian Figallo]

Hey Kaznie_NL!


it is nice to have you on my group of students for this next MTP phase, can you tell me somethings about you?, full name, guitar level, what equipment do you have, etc?

my MTP is very personalized so i would need a recording, a video if possible, to see how are you playing actually, and i'll give you 1 task per week, again, a recording is important so i know where to start

i hope you enjoy good rhythmic and rock n roll cause you will be playing it a lot

[kaznie_NL]

YEAH! New mtp, I like that You can see my previous mtp here:
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=35084

here's my latest video (for MTP)


Gearwise, I use an Ibanez SA08 with Pod Farm and some cheapo camera Shooting videos is fine, but it's not something I'd like to do daily or weekly, just because it consumes a lot of time! Technique wise, I'm somewhere in the5-6 lvl area.

Just call my Kaz, that's my name

I love Rock'n Roll, and I hoped to combine some lead playing with some rocking riffs

I'm excited and waiting

Kaz

Hey Kaz!

i see where you wanna go!!, let's see exactly where you are, this is, and probably going to be the first task for all my students:

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Rock-Rhythm-Variations/

Please record yourself playing the whole number, again video is better.

Don't let the "level 2" trick you, if you don't have a rhythmic base it will show biggrin.gif, wanna see how is your overall timing, beat, and groove keeping, the last one for is not about playing in perfect timing, but playing "with the music".

Have fun trying to remember all the parts in order, i had to do my homework when i recorded it wink.gif.

Again, it is a pleasure to have you on board!

And yeah its the same post for everyone at this stage but i do mean that is a pleasure to have everyone of you on board!

It's in the REC as well.

[Adrian Figallo]

Wohooo!
very very good man, it is very good overall, but this give me an idea of where to start with you my brother.

i feel you got a very cool groove technique, but we have to make your right hand softer... you won't believe how good is to develop a good rhythmic for lead parts, look at mr jimmy page or jimi hendrix, they both were amazing rhythmic guitar players, and that shows!!

now buy a big afro wig, put your SA in single coil mode , and get the funk up!

you are a pretty good guitar player, so i will show no mercy with you and will ask for full lessons (with lower level students i just ask fragments)

play that funky music white boy

Well, It's not my favorite lesson here on GMC, I'll be honest, but I do like funk and I want to get better at it, so this is a cool oppurtunity. I was almost finished this lesson: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...-rhythm-lesson/ but at some point I stopped practicing it

[kaznie_NL]

Update: I can now play the full lesson and it's not boring at all, it's really cool to play I love the funky vibe It's prety easy, but I'm sure we'll end up on a higher level a bit later. I have a competition tomorow and I probably won't have guitar time Saturday is also planned from 7 in the morning untill 3 in the night so again, hard to find time Luckily there are no plans for sunday and the rest of next week is just school and free afternoons so plenty of time I have band practice on wensdagy, the band formed a week ago

[Adrian Figallo]

hey bro!, nice!!, i'm glad that now you like it!
take your time, we are ahead schedule here , sunday-monday would be perfect.

congrats on your band man!!

It's cool man I'll get a nice take in this weekend Band practice was really cool yesterday, but we need a singer Right now I'm doing vocals, just as a practical filling of the vocal lines, but I suck at singing haha

[Adrian Figallo]

hey man, i said the same like 5 years ago , give singing a try, it is an amazing experience to sing your own songs

[kaznie_NL]

I try all the time haha, I seem to have a real tiny vocal range And I have a problem starting in the right key When I've found the right key and the song is in range then it's okay

Two things... I was so busy remembering how the "classic funk" part went, I used it in the main riff as well I only found out afterwards, I hope it's no problem man! Also, I forgot to mention your name in the video, I did mention it a few times in the description, just let me know if you want your name in, I'll reedit the video then

I also just uploaded this:

[Adrian Figallo]

hey man, like the overall take!, i feel it a little bit rushed tho, like a lot the tone and the intention!
you need to keep working on rhythm playing, the right hand NEVER stops, remember that always!

i feel you will like this lesson more, record the full thing!

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Muted-...-Rhythm-Guitar/

you are doing great man, i also saw ur stairway to heaven solo, we will get there, but you are playing lead great, we have to attack the rhythm now!

Here it is for reviewing not yet in REC, will be later ;-)

[Adrian Figallo]

hey kaz!

that's a great take man!, very good rhythm here!!
all the notes are correct, and all the groove is right too, now i need we need to work on the intention when hitting the strings, if you hit them harder you will get:

more crisp tone
more harmonics
more gain without mid mud

for the next aggressive songs like this one, try to hit em harder, also note that you have to improve your left hand muting strings technique cause you will have more unwanted noises.

again, very good take!!

[kaznie_NL]

Then what will be my next task?
