Whats a wagger?

[quadrium]

Hmm.. I'd be honoured if you gonna mentor me C-Maestro

My strongest technique is alternate picking And i am pretty good at vibratos and legatos i guess. But i feel like they can be improved much more My weakest technique is sweep picking so i'd like to master it as soon as possible Also i want to learn hybrid picking since i know you are pretty good at it As for my prefered music styles, i like to play rock/metal most. Also i like blues and country

Thats it Looking forward to start

Cheerio,
Dogukan.

Hi Cosmin

My very own thread ! That makes me happy

I've been playing for quite a few years but I've only ever been a chord strummer really. I know the open chords and I know barre chords. I have played rhythm in a few bands. I know the penatonic scales in the 5 positions and can noodle around in them, but I don't have any great speed or have a load of licks that I can pull off.

I've only been a member for a few days and I've been doing this lesson https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...ds-rock-rhythm/ which I can do OK and this one https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Blues-Rhythm-Guitar/ which I'm finding a bit more challenging but I'm getting there. Looking around at the lessons on the site I think level 3 lessons are probably right for me at this stage.

I played piano for a while so I have some theory knowledge although I'm no expert by any means.

Musically in order I'm into Rock, indie, blues. I'm open minded and I'd also like to do some country, metal, classical - anything really.

Ideally I want to practise for an hour a day.

I hope that's enough information for you. I'm really loving the site so far and can't wait to get some structure into my learning.

Thanks for your help.

Hey man! glad we can start together! First of all, can I ask your name?

Now, my idea would be to select lessons and discuss them together as you advance. One lesson per week would be great for starters the way I would make sure you are blazing it, is of course the REC section

So, what do you think if we would go on this road ?

as soon as you let me know we can start and one more thing, it would help me a lot if you could show me something recorded featuring your playing

all the best

Hi Cosmin

My name's Andy. Point me to my first lesson and let me loose

[Cosmin Lupu]

Alrighty Andy!

For starters, since you have already tackled those lessons you were telling me about earlier in the thread, I suggest you prepare REC takes for both of them, so that I may see a recorded performance after that, it shall be a lot easier to know where to start from

Do you think you can prepare them until Sunday? Posting the REC takes on Sunday would be great and if you have no experience with this idea, go ahead and ask away whatever it is you would need to know

Regarding the lessons, are there any particular questions you would like to ask?

all the best

Dinaga! My man! Would you like to participate?

I'd be most honoured, mate!

Right now I'm overwhelmed with the collabs and other stuff I have to do, and also I'm recording a new song with my band, but as soon as I get more free time I'd love to learn some of your guitar wisdom because you are a really awesome instructor.
I'll contact you as soon as I finish this stuff and thanks a lot for the opportunity my friend, really appreciate it.

@Andy: Sorry mate, I won't spam inside your topic anymore And good luck with practicing, with Cosmin you can't go the wrong way

Hi Cosmin

I guess I post my take in the REC forum. I just went in there to test it out. I assume you start a new thread and there's a button to post your take ? Anyway I got this error :

The error returned was:
Sorry, you do not have permission to start a topic in this forum

What do I need to do ?

Hmmm, pretty odd ... I'd suggest sending a PM to Bogdan Radovic, he is the big kahuna regarding these things around here he'll tell ya what's wrong with the permission issue. let me know when it's solved man!

I hope it's not a problem if I jump in once again.

You can't open topics directly in the REC board.
You need to open the lesson and click on the button "Post your take".
Then the topic will be created, and the poll, along with all other needed information about the lesson will be added automatically

Oh, so you can't do it straight from there, hmmm, had no clue it's not possible

Exactly!

The process is completely automatized now : https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=40697

Thanks for your help guys. It's harder to learn how to use the site than learning to play

Only joking.

[Cosmin Lupu]

Mornin mate! How's it going? have you started recording? I was curious if you needed any advice regarding recording yourself

Hi Cosmin

I've just uploaded my Open Chords Rock Rhythm recording. Please be nice to me......it's my birthday

Hi Cosmin

Ooooo happy birthday man! How old are ya?

[waggers]

Ooooo happy birthday man! How old are ya?

Too old to be this bad at guitar

I've tried another take. I think it's better in terms of less ringing notes and crisper chord changes. I hope so anyway !

My sound quality isn't great because I just have a cheap pc mic going into my laptop. I do have a Presonus Firebox and some decent mics but my laptop doesn't have a firewire port so I think I'm stuck with the pc mic hanging in front of my amp. I also adjusted the intonation of my guitar so hopefully it will sound less out of tune.

I hope this is worth an extra half point so I can move on and learn something new Come on man....it is my birthday after all
