And i want to get a scholarship so badly. But i have never been in a audition.And i literally don't know what do. Should i have to demonstrate all the guitar techniques (sweeping, legato, speed picking, arpeggios etc.) or should i just focus on what i am good at? Should i play a cover song or jam with a random bt? Can i get your opinions about this? I'm currently counting on my AP and legato skills. Can you suggest me some lessons that push my limits further? I'd be appreciated. Thanks, Dogukan. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

After all technique is the easiest thing to learn, they know it, and also they surely know that they can have as many music-less bedroom shredders as they want. So I would say showing that You have some groove and/or melody is more important. Showing technique only to make it clear, that You are ready to put hours into practicing it.

Scales, chords, modes and all that are their priorities to teach you. Also they test your ear and reading skills to make sure your a versatille musician. After all that, they usually ask you to play one or more pieces of your own choice for you to show them your already learnt skills and technique. That at least as always been what happened to me .

It shows your ability to learn something they will give you. Try to be in time, and to express emotions if you can, this is also important value.
